On April 29, Beijing time, the CBA playoffs continued to play, the Shanghai men's basketball team lost to the Zhejiang men's basketball team, Bledsoe played 24 minutes, 16 in 5 got 14 points, 5 assists and 7 turnovers, in the second half Bledsoe handed over 7 in 1 to get 2 points The embarrassment became one of the main factors in the downturn on the offensive end of Shanghai.
From the level of personal ability, although Bledsoe is only 1.85 meters tall, he has outstanding running and jumping ability, and is willing to invest more energy on the defensive end, almost one of the most comprehensive foreign aid in the CBA, but when he comes to the playoff level stage, Bledsoe faces high-intensity pressing, his shooting instability is exposed, and the absolute speed to break through the killing, as if as he grows older, Bledsoe does not have the absolute ability to solve the problem, compared to Jones's key jumpers and breakthrough kills to create opportunities for teammates, the 35-year-old Bledsoe is facing a relatively embarrassing period, many fans complained that he no longer has the responsibility of shouldering the Shanghai men's basketball team alone in the playoffs.
According to previous media reports, the Shanghai men's basketball team spent far more contracts in Bledsoe than most foreign aids, and according to his status at this level, without a contract of more than 2-3 million US dollars, it may be difficult for Shanghai to attract Bledsoe to return to the CBA league to play again.
But as he grew older, Bledsoe also reached the age of 35, and the explosive playing style of the previous peak was becoming less and less common, and the CBA casual play speech that fans were expecting also came to an abrupt end.
If the Shanghai men's basketball team has a higher pursuit in the new season, it is obvious that the small foreign aid level needs to be upgraded, especially the foreign aid mechanism of 4 people and 6 sections, the local players of the Shanghai men's basketball team may not be as good as Liaoning and Guangdong, but at the level of spending large contracts to buy high-quality foreign aid, the Shanghai men's basketball team is one of the best in the CBA league.
The salary cap of $4.25 million may rise further next season, and choosing high-quality foreign players by this standard can attract many NBA fringe guards to play in China, and in the playoffs next season, Bledsoe will be 36 years old, how much energy can he maintain in the playoffs, or return to the top like Weems?
