Losing by 29 points, the Shanghai team suffered Waterloo: Liu Peng's "wood" command and Wang Zhelin's "frustration bag" performance caused heated discussions
Xiao Nan sat in front of the computer, watching the video of the game between the Shanghai team and the Zhejiang team in the CBA playoffs last night, and couldn't help but sigh that this game can really be described as "ice and fire". What is the reason behind the Shanghai team, which was once a glorious team, lost 29 points in this battle of life and death and stopped in the quarterfinals?
In this game, the Shanghai team seemed to have lost its former sharpness, with a serious lack of physical fitness, and its vitality was far inferior to that of the opponent Zhejiang team. You know, in the previous four games, the Shanghai team had a big advantage in rebounds, but in this crucial tie-break, they lost a full 16 rebounds and made double digits, more than double the number of opponents. The huge gap in data is a visual reflection of the poor performance of the Shanghai team in this game.
However, what shocked Xiao Nan even more was that after this game, there were two "back-handed men" in the Shanghai team. One is the head coach Liu Peng, nicknamed the "wooden" coach by the fans, and the other is the team's core player Wang Zhelin, who is nicknamed the "frustration bag". The performance of these two after the game has undoubtedly become the focus of heated discussions among fans.
First of all, let's take a look at Coach Liu Peng, who was criticized as "wood". In the first half, the difference between the two teams was not large, but in the third quarter, the score was quickly stretched to double digits. You must know that the third quarter of a basketball game is often a key moment to decide the outcome of the game, and Coach Liu Peng seems helpless at this time. He watched as the blood cloth and Wang Zhelin's one-five blocks couldn't be dismantled, and Wang Zhelin couldn't jump up because of his physical overdraft, and he couldn't score or grab the board. What's even more puzzling is that in the face of Cheng Shuaipeng's five fouls, Coach Liu Peng did not make adjustments in time, and did not replace the bacon until there were four minutes left in the game, which was obviously too late to make amends. Therefore, fans criticized Coach Liu Peng for being slow to react and adjusting too slowly, believing that he was a "piece of wood" in this game and did nothing.
Let's talk about Wang Zhelin, who was nicknamed "Depressed Bag". As the team's core player and highest-paid player, Wang Zhelin's performance in this game was really disappointing. He ran back and forth throughout the game, unable to score or steal the boards, shooting 2-of-9 from the field in a miserable manner. His plus/minus was the lowest on the team, and the team lost by 31 points when he was on the floor, and was blown up by the opponent's interior core Yu Jiahao. Such a performance is obviously extremely inconsistent with his identity and status. Fans have said that Wang Zhelin was like a "frustration bag" in this game, and he did not show the demeanor he should have as the team's thighs at all.
Xiao Nan believes that the defeat of the Shanghai team in this game is not only a problem of Coach Liu Peng and Wang Zhelin. But then again, as the team's head coach and key players, the two of them were really disappointing in the game. Coach Liu Peng's command ability and adaptability need to be improved, while Wang Zhelin needs to work physical management and psychological adjustment.
In fact, such examples are not uncommon in basketball games. Back then, an NBA powerhouse suffered a waterloo in the playoffs, and the core players were questioned because of their poor form. But it was they who finally rose back the next season through reflection and adjustment. Therefore, Xiao Nan believes that the Shanghai team also has the ability to learn from this defeat and adjust their state to start again.
Of course, Xiao Nan also understands the emotions of the fans. After all, as big fans of the team, they want to see the team win and the players perform well. But we should also give the team and the players some time and space to adjust and improve. After all, the game of basketball is a team sport that requires everyone's joint efforts and cooperation to win.
In the end, Xiao Nan wants to say that both coaches and players need to show their ability and style in the game. But more importantly, they need to learn from their failures, constantly reflect and adjust themselves. Only in this way can they continue to improve and become a better version of themselves. At the same time, we should also give them more support and encouragement, so that they can perform even better in the future competitions.
