html At noon on the 116th, Shanxi team defeated Guangzhou team 108-102. In this game, Chang Lin played a total of 41 minutes, made 4 of 12 shots, scoring 12 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. So far, Chang Lin averaged 16 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4 assists in the three games after the start of the new season, which are all the highs in his career. Of course, the league has only played three rounds in the new season, and such data is not enough to illustrate the problem, but in any case, Chang Lin at least proves that he still has a lot of energy in his body, and he is still competitive enough on the court. So, why can Chang Lin, who was unable to enter the Shougang team before, even the 12-man daimyo, usher in his own outbreak in the Shanxi team?

Chang Lin played for the Shougang team for five seasons before, and he played a certain role in the first three seasons of the Shougang team. At that time, Chang Lin returned to the Shougang team from Jiangsu team, and his confidence in the game and technology were maintained very well. At the same time, the Shougang team had always lacked people in the interior at that time, so Chang Lin maintained a certain amount of time on the field in the Shougang team. But in the last two seasons, Chang Lin's position in the team's tactical system gradually became marginalized. In the last stage of the regular season last season, he did not go to the competition area with the Shougang team, but stayed in Beijing to train alone.

There are many reasons for this: the first is that through the introduction of players in recent years, the Shougang team has reserved many powerful players in the interior, and the position competition is fierce. Li Muhao , Fan Ziming , Zhu Yanxi , Qiu Tian , Hamilton and others can all play the ball; secondly, Chang Lin's technical characteristics focus on offense and weak defense. The Shougang team attaches great importance to the players, especially when head coach Yannis is coaching, so Chang Lin does not have an advantage in position competition. Third, Chang Lin and Yanis also have some differences.

These factors have caused Chang Lin to basically not be able to play in the game in the last two seasons of the Shougang team. After the end of last season, it was not surprising that Chang Lin did not receive a contract extension from Shougang. During the offseason, Chang Lin first tried out for the Shanxi team and obtained a two-year contract with his good performance. This also directly caused his explosion in the Shanxi team.

There are also multiple factors in this: First, Chang Lin still maintains good competitiveness. Especially in offense, he still has strong inside aggressiveness. Chang Lin said in an interview: "I feel that I can still play basketball, there is still a lot of oil in my body, and I feel that I am still competitive." After the end of last season, although the Shougang team had informed Chang Lin that he would not renew his contract, he did not leave the team immediately, but kept training with the Shougang team. He hopes to stay in shape and prepare for new opportunities. This is also the main reason why he was able to come out with a better condition immediately in the trial training of the Shanxi team.

second, Shanxi team currently lacks people in the interior. The main inside player Ge Zhaobao was reimbursed in the first stage due to pneumothorax surgery. At the same time, Yan Pengfei transferred to the Shanghai team. In addition, Shanxi team currently has no inside foreign players, so Chang Lin has more opportunities in the current Shanxi team.

Third, since the return of head coach Yang Xuezeng last season, the team once again took out the offensive banner. What they advocated is to drive defense. This idea is completely different from the Shougang team, and this is in line with Chang Lin's playing characteristics.

Regarding Chang Lin's performance, Yang Xuezeng commented on the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily : "Chang Lin has been practicing well since he joined the team. He is very hardworking and hopes to prove himself again. At present, Shanxi team lacks people in the interior. We also hope that Chang Lin can play his role more and help the team. At present, our No. 5 position is very short of personnel. I hope that Chang Lin can go in more and contribute more to rebounds and defense, and Chang Lin is also gradually adapting and integrating."
