On October 28, the CBA league continued, and the Liaoning men's basketball team met Nanjing Tongxi. There is a gap in the strength of the two teams, but the two teams played more fiercely in the first half, and Guo Allen still maintained a high standard after his return, but in the first half, Liaoning team also had a shining point, he was Cong Mingchen, who scored 12 points in the half.
With the Liaoning team's sufficient internal personnel this season Yang Ming fixed Zhang Zhenlin in the third position to use, coupled with Yu Zechen also has a good upward momentum, the past few seasons of relatively quiet Cong Mingchen was originally considered to be more embarrassing, did not expect that under pressure this pitcher has made great progress.
In the first five rounds of games, Cong Mingchen averaged 10.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, including a three-point shooting rate of 44.8%, and Cong Mingchen had a tough performance in other games except for playing Shanxi inaccurately.
In the first quarter of the game with Nanjing Tongxi, Cong Mingchen hit a three-pointer on his first shot, and after being fouled by three points, Cong Mingchen scored 6 points in 4 minutes.
The excellent performance of the first quarter won more playing time for Cong Mingchen in the second quarter, although only one three-point shot in this quarter could not be thrown in, but Cong Mingchen used his own shooting to attract and create 4 free throw opportunities, and only in the first half he got 12 points, of which 7 free throws were all free throws, and the number of free throws was the first in the team.
The most interesting scene occurred in the second quarter when there were 5 minutes and 42 seconds left, Cong Mingchen actually dribbled through to the basket after taking the ball, although he failed to score but Cong Mingchen got a foul penalty opportunity, at this time the live camera was aimed at Yang Ming for a long time, Yang Ming also showed a sly smile when drinking water.
Last season, Cong Mingchen was also yelled at by Yang Mingchen and was too timid, and now Cong Mingchen is not only bold, but even dares to take the initiative to attack with the ball, this way of playing has rarely appeared in Cong Mingchen in the past, and Yang Ming must be very happy in his heart.
Cong Mingchen's progress is actually not just scoring and shooting, and when Liu Wei, the former captain of the national team, explained the game, he greatly appreciated Cong Mingchen's defensive attitude and defensive ability this season.
