101-113, Sichuan Men's Basketball Team suffered another defeat in the twelfth round of the regular season. They lost away to the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, the dark horse team this season.
The reason for Sichuan's loss in this game is very direct, that is, their offense is weak. They shot 26 times outside the three-point line and only hit 7 goals, with a shooting percentage of only 26.9%. Such performance is undoubtedly a disaster for the Sichuan Men's Basketball Team, which relies heavily on three-pointers, and it is reasonable to lose the game in the end.
Two foreign players Franklin and Thompson made 0 of 9 shots from outside the three-point line. It can be said that they should take responsibility for the team's poor performance outside the three-point line. However, behind the sluggish performance of foreign players is actually because of the poor performance of local players. Except for veteran Chen Xiaodong and mid-zoo player Chen Chen , the team has no other local players to score in double digits.
As the team's main striker, Chen Chen's performance can be regarded as a routine operation. The explosion of veteran Chen Xiaodong is somewhat unexpected, and he can also be regarded as the only comfort for Sichuan to lose in this game.
Because the team's main rotation player Zuo Zhennian had a sprained ankle, the Sichuan Men's Basketball Team was already stretched in this game, which was even less staffed. Bauman sent Zeng Wending and Chen Chen's starting front line combination, but Zeng Wending continued his previous sluggish performance. He was replaced after only 13 minutes in this game. The second inside line Min Qingfei got 8 minutes of playing time, but his performance was also poor.
had no choice but to replace veteran Chen Xiaodong. With 5 minutes and 27 seconds left in the first quarter, Chen Xiaodong got the chance to go on the game. Although he was 32 years old, he showed his outstanding skills in the first touch after his appearance.
At the 45-degree angle on the left side of the free throw line, Chen Xiaodong received a pass from his teammate. Facing the defense Cai Liang , he chose to turn two consecutive fake moves and half-turned, and successfully deceived Cai Liang. Then he used a backward jump shot and hit a difficult two-pointer. It can be said that there are definitely only a handful of inside players in the league today who can make such moves.
But after all, time is unforgiving. After that, Chen Xiaodong's two consecutive attacks ended in failure. However, the veteran still showed his comprehensive skills. 18 seconds before the end of this quarter, he steadily hit a three-pointer from the outside, helping Sichuan widen the gap to 10 points.
In the third quarter of the game, 32-year-old Chen Xiaodong also staged an empty cut dunk, which can be said to make people vaguely recall the Shandong Flyingman when he was young.
16 years old Chen Xiaodong joined the Shandong Youth Team. In the same year, he was selected by the National Young Master coach on the National Young Master training list. Although he suffered injuries, he was still the best among the same batch of National Young Master players. At the age of 17, he was promoted to the first team by Shandong. At that time, he was 2.07 meters tall, capable of inside and outside, and had a strong physical fitness. Therefore, many people called Chen Xiaodong a genius player, and the outside world also called him the successor of Gong Xiaobin .
In a game between Shandong and Guangdong in the regular season of the 2006-2007 season, Chen Xiaodong faced Yi Jianlian , which was about to log in to NBA, and completed dunks three times in Yi Jianlian's defense. At that time, Chen Xiaodong had already suffered a very serious injury and his bounce was not as good as his peak period.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiaodong has been suffering from injuries throughout his career, one of which was particularly serious in 2008. At that time, he once became the coach of the Shandong Youth Team. However, in 2010, Chen Xiaodong announced his comeback and joined the Sichuan team in the NBL League, and helped Sichuan to enter the CBA League all the way, and then helped Sichuan win the championship.
Although Chen Xiaodong's physical fitness is no longer as good as when he was young, his skills are still the best among the domestic insiders. For Sichuan, who has weak inside strength, he is the first candidate in the inside.
