2022-2023 season CBA League curtain has begun. On the evening of the 11th, Shanghai Jiushi Men's Basketball Team made its debut in the new season, and unfortunately lost to the Xinjiang team 100-118 and failed to get a good start.
has experienced personnel adjustments during the offseason. The Shanghai Men's Basketball Team introduced Ding Yanyuhang , Yan Pengfei , Beasley , Trimble and other new players to strengthen the lineup, and further optimized the age structure. Many post-00s stars have been promoted to the first team. However, in the first game of the new season, the starting lineup sent by "Sharks" is still old-fashioned - Wang Zhelin , Ren Junwei , Liu Zheng , Li Tianrong, and Franklin debuted.
in the first quarter, Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team took the advantage of the field with its higher offensive efficiency. The Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, which failed to quickly enter the game state, was 18-35 and fell by as 17 points. In the second quarter, the "Sharks" stubbornly chased the points, gradually narrowing the gap between the two sides, and chasing to 52-59 at the end of the half. In the second half, the Xinjiang team maintained a strong offensive, while the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, which frequently dispatched troops, never found a way to change the situation, and eventually won the first loss of the new season by 18 points.
The "Big Sharks" team scored in double digits in the whole game. Wang Zhelin contributed 19 points and 14 rebounds in double double digits. New player Trimble also scored the highest 19 points in the team. Luo Hanchen and Ding Yanyuhang scored 16 points and 10 points respectively, and Beasley, who returned to the team, scored 13 points.
From the whole game, the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, which is regarded as the favorite to win the championship, performed just as coach Li Chunjiang said at the departure ceremony, and did not reach its best state. "In the first game of the new season, the overall performance of the whole team is average, and there is a big gap compared with the Xinjiang team." After this game, Li Chunjiang was obviously not satisfied when summarizing the performance of the "Sharks", "especially in defense, the Xinjiang team's high intensity, high confrontation awareness and ability are worth learning from. We must go back and summarize and do a good job in the subsequent games one by one."
For the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, which has a new team, how to make up for the lack of running-in for all players in the offseason as soon as possible and how to make the new lineup produce an ideal chemical reaction in actual combat will be a challenge that needs to be dealt with in the new season.
