On October 30, Beijing time, the seventh round of the CBA Shandong defeated Xinjiang 106-96, and the team's interior player Tao Hanlin played 46 minutes in this game, got 34 points and 18 rebounds, and was the number one contributor to the team's win.
This game is also Tao Hanlin's 5 consecutive appearances in 40+ minutes, and this season he has averaged 42.3 minutes per game, which is a veritable team "Iron Man".
In the game against Xinjiang, Tao Hanlin once suffered a weak foot when grabbing rebounds under the basket, but he only continued to play after tightening his shoelaces on the sidelines.
After the game, head coach Xu Changsuo said that it was not that he did not want to change, but that these veteran players insisted on playing on their own.
"This victory is a spiritual victory of the team, and several veteran players have fought very well on the field, especially Ding Yanyuhang, Li Jingyu, Tao Hanlin, who cannot rotate. There have been a lot of difficulties since the team was built, not because I don't want to change people, but sometimes they really don't want to go down. ”
In the seventh round of the league, Tao Hanlin averaged 23.6 points and 14.3 rebounds per game, which is the absolute core of the team's interior line, which is a big increase compared with last season (15.3 points and 9.4 rebounds).
