After losing to the Qingdao Men's Basketball Team by 7 points in the final game, Beijing Enterprises also officially missed the last train of the playoffs. In the end, they said goodbye to this season with a 13th record in the league.
For this Beijing team that invested heavily in signings during the offseason last year, this season is undoubtedly a very failed season. Of course, coach Marbury's transformation of the small foreign aid Joseph Young also ended in failure.
During the offseason last year, Kyle Fogg, who had already reached a contract extension agreement with the team, was "dropped pigeons" by the team because at that time, Tong Xi did not choose to leave the powerful scorer Joseph- Yang. When all the teams were in a wait-and-see attitude, Beijing Controls made the first move and took the Tong Xi's "Monkey King" to the Forbidden City.
Of course, coming to this new team, Joseph Young did not escape the fate of being put on by Marbury. Because of Fogg's successful transformation case before, Marbury also started the transformation of Joseph Young.
Fogg used to be a powerful scorer in Guangzhou, but after joining Beijing North Control last year, although there was a period of pain, but fortunately, he eventually transformed into a passing game. The preferred backfield commander.
Therefore, everyone also hopes that Joseph Young can become the "Second Fogg". It's a pity that reality and ideals are always very different. How could "Dasheng Yang", who has been accustomed to the dignity of Jinling City, easily carry the tight curse given by Marbury.
In the first game of the season against Jilin, Joseph Young performed exceptionally well. In just 24 minutes of playing time, he made 10 of 20 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, and easily scored 27 points and 3 rebounds. All-around data with 4 assists and 2 steals.
I thought it was a good start, but the next many games also became a microcosm of Joseph Young's inability to integrate into the team. At the request of coach Marbury, he must get rid of the previous habit of taking the ball directly towards the basket.
is replaced by observing teammates first, which for the team,Although it is indeed very advantageous, it also varies from person to person. Not all players can suddenly adapt to this change of status. Obviously, Joseph Young is not suitable for this.
In the third game of the season against Tianjin, Joseph Young also consciously connected the team. The audience sent 11 assists, but the offensive feel suffered a slump. The whole game made 17 shots and only hit 5 goals. The three-pointer was a bleak 5-for-0.
Throughout the game, Joseph Young only scored 19 points. In the face of a weaker team like Tianjin, he failed to find an offensive touch. One can imagine how uncomfortable he is with this new identity.
Since then, in many games, Joseph Young has also been trying to change himself, but the effect was very small. In the past in Tongxi, because the team did not have such outstanding inside players.
Last season, apart from Haddadi and Yabu Sailai before, Tongxi's inside line only has weak blue collars such as Meldan and Sun Siyao, so most of his offenses are launched from outside. .
As a result, Tongxi averaged 31 thirds of three-pointers per game last season. The team’s main scorers, including Song Jianhua, Li Hongpeng, Yu Changchun, and Qiao Wenhan, are all outside shooters.
And this gives Joseph Young plenty of attacking space. This is why he averaged 38.3 points per game while also sending out a career-high 6.4 assists. Because the team doesn't have too many stable scoring points, he can also score easily by attracting double-teams and assigning the ball to the outside shooter when his offense is smooth.
But in Beijing Enterprises, all this has changed greatly. Unlike Tongxi, which has very few available manpower, Beijing Enterprises has introduced many players including Yu Changdong, Li Gen, Zou Yuchen, and Hou Yifan in one fell swoop, plus Wang Shaojie, Zhang Fan, Wang Zirui and Sun Tonglin who were in the team before. , Beikong can score a player far better than Tongxi.
Under such circumstances, it becomes very difficult for Joseph Yang to start the runaway mode in Tongxi in the past. This also brought him to a career low of 18.8 shots per game this season.Compared with the 27.7 times in the previous season, there is a full difference of nearly 10 times.
Although Beijing Enterprises has a lot of staff, it can be clearly found that almost all of their generals are insiders. This season, North Control has three players who averaged double digits per game. Among them, Yu Changdong and Wang Shaojie are inside players.
And these two standing in the penalty area occupy the offensive space, and also make Joseph Yang have to face a completely different offensive situation from the previous Tongxi. If you want to kill inside, then the team's penalty area will be very crowded.
There is another point. North Control lacks a stable pitcher this season. Except for Zhang Fan's three-pointer shooting rate of 41.7%, no other player has a three-pointer shooting rate of more than 38%. And from their 15th in the league, they averaged 26.5 three-pointers per game. It can also be seen that the North Control is not a team that launches offense from the outside.
This situation brought Joseph Young into a deadlock. In the past, in Tongxi, he only needed to distribute the ball to the outside to shoot. It was simple and clear, but the inside line of Beijing Control was so crowded.
As long as the opponent chooses to double-team their big man, it is almost difficult for Joseph Young to help the team break the deadlock in the absence of pitchers on the perimeter. This also resulted in him having been unable to find a balance between the offensive end and the organizational end.
And Beijing Enterprises also paid a heavy price for Marbury's wanton transformation of Joseph Young. Seeing the precarious situation in the playoffs, the stubborn Marbury finally made a change, giving Joseph Young more play on the offensive end, allowing him to let go.
So in the last 5 games, Joseph Young averaged 29.4 shots per game. He averaged 39.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. It seems that he has returned to Tongxi. That scoring is as easy as scoring. "Yang Dasheng".
Unfortunately, it was too late. After Joseph Young turned on the offensive mode, it turned Beikong's strong domestic players into spectators on the court. In the last life and death battle with Qingdao, he made 43 crazy shots and scored a season-high 53 points.
But looking at the domestic players of Beijing Control, except for Zhang Fan and Zou Yuchen who scored in double figures, the rest of the players have become defensive blue-collars and made no contribution. After the whole game, it almost became Joseph Young's scoring performance alone.
From initially restricting Joseph Young's shot, to finally indulging him in the offensive mode, it is clear that Marbury completely failed in his transformation. It's like making a dumpling, who has to be a chef, will definitely be very unaccustomed to it.
Compared with the next door team Yannis let Jonathan Gibson be himself ahead of time, he helped the team lock the postseason seat early. I don’t know if Marbury is going to think about whether he should continue this transformation. What about the plan?
