Generally speaking, as a fan, they praise the performance of their own players, but last night Zhejiang fans praised a player of the Shanghai team in unison, bluntly saying that he is too good, really awesome.
Who is this Shanghai player who was praised by his opponents? It turned out to be Li Hongquan, a young player. Zhejiang were almost beaten by the Shanghai Mavericks last night, and they got off to a fantastic start, leading by 16 points at one point in the first half. But in the second half, the Shanghai team was overtaken, but the score difference was not big, especially at the last moment of the last quarter, Li Tianrong had a three-point, Wang Zhelin had a three-point, and Li Hongquan had a three-pointer. However, Xuebu only hit two of his last three free throws, losing to Zhejiang by one point and losing G3. However, the Shanghai team still has a chance in the series.
After the game, Zhejiang fans were envious of the No. 14 player of the Shanghai team, who was the young Li Hongquan, who could also be said to be a rookie in the playoffs. But this rookie is different from other rookies, no matter how tense and intense the game is, he doesn't change his face, and he can't see the ups and downs of expression on his face, just like a veteran who has been on the field for a long time, and he is very calm on the court. Facing a fierce battle last night, he shot 100% from the field on 8-of-8 shooting, scoring a team-high 20 points and seven rebounds, and the offensive efficiency was frightening.
In addition to being calm, Li Hongquan also showed his versatility as a No. 4 player, who can score, grab baskets, and assist, and he scored a total of 54 points, 24 rebounds, and 5 assists in three series with Eight-in-Four, with a three-point shooting rate of 65%. Played six games in two series, almost exploded every game, scored in double figures in five games, and scored a total of 89 points, which was higher than the score of the team's number one star Wang Zhelin, becoming the leading scorer of local players in the playoffs.
Lee Hongquan deserves the title of "Most Improved Player", and his performance in the playoffs was even more impressive, averaging 14.8 points per game, which is higher than the usual average per game. He was praised not only by Shanghai fans, but also by the opponent's Zhejiang fans, who were very envious of Li Hongquan, saying that he was too good to go to the national team for a walk. The Zhejiang team can't be limited at all, let him break out every game, Zhejiang fans said, we also have such a Li Hongquan player, it's good that we also have such a player. Ladies and gentlemen, do you envy Li Hongquan?
