In order to regain the championship, the Xinjiang men's basketball team invited the former national team defender and the old coach of the former Bayi, Adi Jiang, but after 3 seasons, Adi Jiang's coaching performance was not as good as Li Qiuping, even after Zhou Qi returned to Xinjiang, the team still could not play the dominance of the championship season, what is the problem?
As for the current plight of the Xinjiang team, the top eight and one players, Moko, who also played for the national team, gave the answer, he pointed out that Adi Jiang is somewhat nepotistic, the most typical is the excessive use of Arslan. Fans know that Adi Jiang and Arslan are famous father and son soldiers in the CBA arena, Adi Jiang was the main point guard of the Chinese men's basketball team during his player period, with the title of "field magician", and during the August 1st period, he won the league championship and the National Games championship, full of honors. However, Arslan did not continue the glory of his father, as early as the bay 1st, his defensive weaknesses and slow movement were pointed out by fans.
Moko also mentioned that at the level of Arslan, in horizontal comparison, in their time, they could not play the Bayi adult team at all, and now the Xinjiang team in addition to the defensive line, every other position is the top in the country, Arslan came, obviously pulled down the level of the entire Xinjiang defender. Of course, during Moko's playing, Bayi has not declined, and at that time they were still regulars in the Finals, competing with the Hongyuan men's basketball team in the CBA.
In the 2019/2020 season, Arslan played the highest number of minutes in the 2019/2020 season, averaging 24 minutes per game, scoring 9.1 points per game, shooting 36% from the field, shooting 30% from three-point range, averaging 2.3 turnovers per game and assisting 2.5 times. You know, Arslan is a point guard, such data is obviously out of standard, no wonder fans are saying that if it were not for AdiJiang, he would not even be qualified to enter the CBA, let alone play the starter.
After the Bayi team was disbanded, Arslan followed his father's footsteps and came to Xinjiang. Last season, his playing time was significantly reduced, which is also because Xinjiang has foreign aid, unlike in the Bayi team period, plus two local players, Zeng Lingxu and Yu Dehao, competing with him. In the 2020/2021 season, Arslan can get an average of 15 minutes of playing time per game in Xinjiang, with 5.7 points, 0.6 rebounds and 2 assists. Among the domestic players in the same position, Yu Dehao averaged 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and the veteran Zeng Lingxu's statistics were two to three times more than Arslan.
In fact, Moko is right to worry, if the Xinjiang team wants to achieve a breakthrough in the new season, it must increase the personnel reserve of the defender line, and Adi Jiang is too biased towards his son, which is completely detrimental to fair competition in the team.
