On October 24th, Beijing time, there was no big surprise. Despite all their best efforts, the Shanghai team lost the defending champion Guangdong team 97-112. The last two consecutive losses to the Beijing team and the Guangdong team show that the Shanghai team is still a long way from the true giants of the CBA. Of course, behind the two-game losing streak, the Shanghai team not only exposed its shortcomings, but also tempered the team. Li Chunjiang understands that this Shanghai team still has huge room for improvement.
The Shanghai team is regarded as a CBA upstart and also a newcomer. During the offseason, the Shanghai team’s operations proved the club’s ambition and determination-in addition to hiring Li Chunjiang as the coach, they have successively received excellent domestic and foreign aids such as Wang Zhelin, Jamal Franklin and Ren Junwei. In addition, the Shanghai team also recruited former Guangdong team video data analyst Pang Qimeng. As Du Feng said before the game, “Everyone knows that the Shanghai team has changed a lot this year, especially with the addition of some very good players, so this will be a wonderful game.”
The Shanghai team played proactively throughout the game. In the third quarter, Li Chunjiang allowed Guo Haowen to play the role of a surprise player. Guo Haowen scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the Shanghai team once to reduce the double-digit point difference to 2 points. But when the Guangdong team made a full-court press, the Shanghai team made consecutive mistakes, and the “South China Tigers” quickly regained their lead. This picture appeared more than once in the game, and it turned out that Wang Zhelin dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This is obviously not the Shanghai team’s tactical arrangement, but the Guangdong team’s defense is impeccable, so that the Shanghai team’s defenders can’t get the ball in the backcourt.
As we all know, the Shanghai team is a team lacking a system. Especially when Wang Zhelin and Jamal Franklin are not on the court, Li Chunjiang’s team has no offensive strength. In fact, the Shanghai team can easily be targeted by opponents on both offense and defense. Guo Haowen’s breakthrough is indeed sharp, but his shooting and free throws have not been very stable. Do you expect Guo Haowen to make 5 three-pointers in every game? One more point, the Shanghai team’s execution ability needs to be improved.
Lost to the Beijing team by 6 points and lost to the Guangdong team by 15 points. In the two wars of Beijing and Guangdong, the Shanghai team lost a net 21 points. Through these two strong dialogues, the Shanghai team understood its own shortcomings and gaps. The most important thing is that Beijing and Guangdong have their own system. Their style of play is very mature and highly targeted. The Shanghai team is a brand new team, and the generals still need time to adapt. Therefore, behind the two-game losing streak, the Shanghai team needs to summarize a lot. We will play against the Beijing team next Sunday and we can see if the performance of the Shanghai team will improve.Return to Sohu to see more
