[Shanghai team, what’s wrong?]?]
The league has played seven rounds in the new season, and the Shanghai team’s record is only 1 win and 6 losses. This performance is far from the outside expectations. After the end of last season, the Shanghai team made a big investment again and also introduced powerful players. On paper, their squad strength is stronger than last season. However, after the start of the new season, the record of the Shanghai team showed a cliff-like decline, and the outside world nicknamed them CBA Knicks. What happened to the Shanghai team and how should they change next?
The current problems of the Shanghai team with huge investment are caused by the poor state of foreign aid and the low level of match with the team. The Shanghai team had previously reserved three foreign aid, namely Beasley, Franklin and merlot. Beasley was cut off by the Shanghai team after only four games. Beasley was no longer a super player who killed all sides in the league. His attack was in a bad state, and his individual play alone was very damaging to the team. Shanghai team stopped the loss in time and quickly terminated the contract with him.
But at the same time, Franklin, a defender who played for the team last season and played smoothly, declined significantly in the new season. Franklin relied more on rhythm changes to complete attacks and gain scores through multiple fouls at his peak. However, with the increase of injuries, his physical condition was no longer the same year. In addition, the blow penalty scale of the new season widened, encouraging the players to fight more. Therefore, Franklin’s role in the new season became smaller and smaller. Franklin has scored less than 3 points on average, and the three-point hit rate has dropped to 11%. This kind of attack state and level is difficult to get the trust of the team coaching staff, and his playing time is also compressed to be present for less than 8 minutes. Another defender’s foreign aid Merlot is in a good state. He scored 22 points on average, and the outside shooting rate can be maintained at around 37%, which basically meets the team’s demand for the defender’s foreign aid.
Although the domestic players of the Shanghai team are strong, they still rely on the performance of foreign aid. However, only one of the three foreign aid in the new season can output normally, which is undoubtedly a very adverse effect for them. Especially in the offensive, the Shanghai team currently scored only 98.4 points in the 100 rounds, ranking 16th in the league, which is directly related to the downturn of foreign aid.
At the same time, compared with last season, the Shanghai team has also been declining in defense, which is also their fatal injury. Last season, the Shanghai team returned to the top four. One of the important reasons is that the defense quality of the Shanghai team has improved. Last season, Shanghai team lost 101.9 points in 100 rounds, ranking fifth in the league. Although this is not the top level of the alliance, it is at least the middle and upper level. However, it is obvious that the Shanghai team has regressed on the defensive end in the new season. They have lost 113 points in the current 100 rounds, ranking 19th in the league. Shanghai team is not a team that relies on defense to win, but such a poor defense will definitely make them pay the price of losing.
In what aspects does Shanghai team need to make rapid changes next? First, replace foreign aid. The Shanghai team has already made some moves. They are introducing two new foreign aid, one of which is defender bradso. When bradso played NBA, he scored with excellent physical quality many times, but his external projection level was not ideal. In CBA, if the defender’s foreign aid has a general ability outside, his game role will be discounted. This may be a worrying aspect of the outside world.
Second, we need to strengthen the defense. This is the aspect that Shanghai team must improve as soon as possible. Shanghai team has enough players with good physical fitness and strong defensive ability. This requires the coaching staff to give more stimulation and mobilization. Once the defense is improved, for the Shanghai team, their competition competitiveness can be increased.
The third young player needs to improve as soon as possible. Last season, the young players of Shanghai team, like Li Tianrong, played well. They dared to fight and injected more vitality and energy into the team, but in the new season, the regression of some young players is obvious, which may be caused by the current situation due to mentality. I hope to adjust as soon as possible and bring more help to the team.
