From the first year's "shark back to the peak", to last year's "gathering sharks to chase dreams", and then to this year's "there are dreams to burn, sharks to the future", the change in slogans indicates that "low-key" may become the main theme of the new season of the Shanghai men's basketball team. As the goal of the long-term "three-year championship" enters the final season, the whole team seems to be holding its breath, hoping to prove itself in the new season. Before going to Zhuji Division, the Shanghai men's basketball team played two warm-up games with three teams in Guangzhou, Qingdao and Xinjiang, and finally achieved a record of five wins and one loss, only losing to Xinjiang in the last game. According to team insiders who watched the game, the competitive state shown by the players in the game was gratifying, and it is expected to change the downturn of the past two seasons and create surprises for fans.
There is no doubt that in terms of the current coaching staff and the ability of the players of the Shanghai men's basketball team, the whole league can at least enter the top six, but including head coach Li Chunjiang and captain Wang Zhelin, they have not set the goal too high, "The goal is to play every game well and go all out to achieve better results." Li Chunjiang did not mention the specific ranking or achievement in the interview, "The first stage of the team has 13 games, we have to take each game seriously and do our own." ”
With the same answer given by Li Chunjiang, Wang Zhelin also focused on the upcoming first stage of the league, "trying to reach the playoffs, but at present we still have to play the first stage of the game and strive for a good start." Among the opponents in the first stage, Beijing, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other teams will become the touchstone to test the color of the Shanghai men's basketball team, "Confidence is definitely there, but the game still has to be played one by one." As a rookie, I hope to help the team break through in the results as much as possible, and I hope to enter the rookie All-Star. Li Tianrong did not hide his ambitions and vision for the new season.
For the Shanghai men's basketball team, time is currently the biggest enemy. In addition, beingware of the impact of injuries is also a top priority for the team to guard against. In the past two seasons, the team's record has been greatly affected by injuries, and Wang Zhelin, Franklin, Koranbek and other players have suffered from different degrees of injuries last season, so how to adjust the lineup and keep the players in good competitive condition and good health will be a problem in front of the coaching staff, "Li Guidance will be different for my use, he will reduce my pressure and burden as much as possible, so that I can maintain more physical fitness in the game." Franklin said.
According to the schedule, the Shanghai men's basketball team will usher in the first opponent of the new season, tianjin men's basketball team, on October 17, and the veteran captain Zhang Zhaoxu will become the focus of the game, "As a professional player, I will treat the showdown between Tianjin and Shanghai with a normal heart." I hope that the players on both sides will go all out, and look forward to bringing a stunning appearance to the Tianjin men's basketball team in the opener. Zhang Zhaoxu bluntly said that this will be an "emotional" game, "As an old player, I hope to take on the responsibility of both ends of the attack and defense with rich experience and height advantages on the pitch, and strengthen the shortcomings of the team." ”
