Although Han Shuo, Li Honghan, and Su Ruoyu were successively introduced in the offseason, Zhu Songwei, who is known as "Shantou Durant", was picked up in the draft, as well as two powerful foreign aids, Haddadi and Hunt. But to say that the Sichuan Men's Basketball Team can be among the top eight in the league in the second stage, it is estimated that many people think it is a foolish dream. But this is indeed the case. In the final wave of the devil's schedule, Sichuan has successively faced off the playoff teams of Guangdong, Guangsha, Jilin, Qingdao, and Liaoning, and also achieved a wave of four consecutive victories. . What is surprising is that in the final battle, Sichuan cut the mighty Liao basket to the top, and thus rose to the top eight.
Compared with the offensive and defensive imbalance in the past few seasons, the Sichuan Men's Basketball Team is still lacking in scoring this season, averaging only 101.9 points per game, which is 13th in the league. However, they are based on strong defense, averaging only 103.7 points per game, and 113's defensive efficiency is also ranked 9th in the league. Therefore, they defeated many potential playoff teams including Beijing, Guangsha, Qingdao and Beijing Enterprises. Sichuan, which relied heavily on foreign aid in the past, although Haddadi and Hunter are still the main core of the team this season, both scored 45.5 points per game for the team.
But with these two as the tactical axis, other domestic players also played well. The team has 5 players Li Yuanyu, Zhu Songwei, Han Shuo, Chen Chen, and Su Ruoyu who score in double figures. Jing Hanyi, who averaged 9.5 points per game, has 6 domestic players in Sichuan who have scored in double digits. Throughout the entire league, only the Guangdong men's basketball team can achieve this feat. They are Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui, Ren Junfei, Zhou Peng and Du Runwang.
However, Haddadi is also a 35-year-old veteran after all. As the season progresses, Lao Ha has been playing and stopping because of major and minor injuries, and his state has also begun to decline. Even so, he still averaged 18.3 points, 14 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. Among them, the league's second rebound is definitely the main reason Sichuan can restrain Qingdao and Liaoning in the last two games. Facing Johnson, the biggest foreign player in the league today, Ha has 30 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks.Not letting the wind fall at all, but in the battle of the Liao basketball team with deep grievances, the audience once again scored 15 points, 20 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, which completely broke the opponent's penalty area.
In addition to Haddadi, Xiao Wai Hunt's gradual improvement is also the key to Sichuan's ability to maintain a certain degree of competitiveness. After scoring 42 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in the second game of Guangsha at the beginning of the season, Hunter's state was one game after another, and it seemed to be completely outside the team's tactical system. However, in the January 25, 2021 matchup against Shanghai, after scoring a career-high 68 points against Biao Fredette, Hunter seems to have been opened up to the second line of Ren Du, not only maintaining stability on the offensive end, but also more willing to draw the ball. The team cooperated and began to connect the whole team. At present, Jean is averaging 27.2 points per game to secure the team's scoring leader.
The seamless connection of the two foreign players seems to let people see the old "Harris + Haddadi" double ghost combination, plus the old Zhongqing domestic player configuration, these are all Sichuan men's basketball can The main reason for the dark horse in the league this season. If nothing happens in the next stage, the team's other outsider Smith will return to the team. By then, the Sichuan Men's Basketball Team, which has a more terrifying scoring ability, is likely to go all the way to the end.
