Xinjiang Yilite returned to the finals after four years, but the result of being swept 0-4 was disappointing.
It's not only the runner up, but also their captain and regular season player that disappoints people MVP Abdul Sharam's performance in the final was abnormal.
The field average is 9.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.5 errors, and the shooting rate is only 36.4%, and the three-point shooting rate is only 20%. Even the percentage of free throws is 38.5%.
It's hard for you to imagine that the number of the strongest local player in the regular season (Abdul Salam: the master key of Xinjiang Team) in the finals is so scary
The fans are even playing football - is it Li Guoguo who plays football? Salamu went to shoot "Country Love"?
Shalamu has nearly 10 points less than the regular track, and none of the four finals has exceeded 14 points. This is not a phenomenon that can be explained by poor state.
According to my observation, Salam's performance is low and Liaoning Team Very targeted defense is very relevant. G1 and G2 competitions, for Liaoning Fu Hao Against Salamu, Fu Hao, who has both size and mobility, is not afraid of the low back play of Salamu's signboard, but also can withstand the forced breakthrough of Salamu. When Shalamu's two axes holding the ball are restricted, it is basically equivalent to being blocked the Ren Du pulse.
G1 and G2, Shalamu challenged Fu Hao seven times on the offensive end, but only once created a score. Moreover, this goal was a lucky three-point that Fu Hao had sealed on his face.
Li Qiuping, who was commenting on the competition at that time, made a pointed comment: "Salamu, he has no advantage against Fu Hao."
In the regular season, Shalamu can act as the attack axis through low back play. Under the restriction of Fu Hao, G1 and G2 in the final greatly increase the difficulty of holding the ball to attack. Therefore, the sense of presence of salad wood is particularly low.
Data statistics can confirm this point. He has 24% of the regular season round share, which dropped to 15% during the finals, which is consistent with the impression of acclimatization in the Salamu competition.
Salamu of G3 and G4 improved in data. He scored in double figures in both competitions, because he adjusted his playing method according to the situation - since he could not play Fuhao one-on-one, he ran to get rid of the problem of being enveloped by Fuhao's size through no ball attack.
Zeng Lingxu, who was a teammate with Salamu, also gave instructions when commenting on the game: "Don't let Salamu play with the ball. Let him move and play. Let him catch the ball to judge."
The first attack of G3 Sharamu against Fu Hao was to open the defense by the time difference of empty hand receiving outside the three-point line, which also led him to find a way to deal with Fu Hao - that is, to move. Not only did positional warfare involve the defense by running without the ball, but also used the fast speed of defensive counterattack to follow up the next point.
The G3 Salad Wood has finally broken the ground for Fu Hao. He needs to move. Only by time difference and rhythm changes can he create space for himself
When the counter attack comes out, the salad wood can be effective
After opening up the situation in this way, Salamu began to find some MVPs. When there are more offensive options, the difficulty of defense will multiply, because the defender needs to predict how you will attack. When Shaamu could throw multiple choice questions to the defense, his attack began to live.
In G3, he successfully played Fu Hao three times, including two times of sitting in the low position. In the whole game, he played one-on-one against defenders four times, all of which were successful.
However, looking at the data sheet, Salamu only scored 14 points in 41 minutes, which is not the normal level of the regular season
This is because Director Yang Ming did not ignore the fact that Salamu opened the situation, but his response was that in the second half of G3, the defense was better Li Xiaoxu Start instead of Fu Hao.
As a result of this adjustment, Salamu met Li Xiaoxu in the first round of the second half, but found that he could not eat this group of matches, and then he could only be invisible at the offensive end, just like the scene of G1 and G2 against Fu Hao.
Can't break through Li Xiaoxu's position
It's not good to sit and hit Li Xiaoxu
The same is true for G4. Shaamak's success failed Li Xiaoxu
On the other hand, Salamu's physical strength cannot support him to play for 41 minutes and still maintain high intensity consumption. Going into battle with a high fever has already reduced the competitive status. In addition to frequent follow-up counterattacks, Salamu has consumed a lot of physical energy.
I don't know if you have found such a scene in front of the screen - the first section of G3 is not half yet, Salamu has opened his mouth and gasped after a counter attack
Shalamu's 38.5% free throw shooting rate is probably also a sign that his physical strength cannot hold up. Liaoning team, which is used to playing high intensity games, is accustomed to this kind of consumption.
Liaoning team can be said to be a "reduced dimension strike" against Xinjiang team. They have absolute advantages in height, sports ability and endurance under high intensity consumption. This set of data may fully show the differences between the two teams:
During the finals, Zhao Jiwei of Liaoning Team scored 6 out of 8, Zhang Zhenlin scored 9 out of 10 and Fu Hao scored 16 out of 18.
On the Xinjiang team side, Qi Lin made 9 of 13 shots from the basket, and Shalamu only made 9 of 15 shots.
As well, Shaamu, who has 6.3% rebounding rate in the regular season, fell to 2.4% in the finals
Of course, there is no absolute "big is good" in the basketball world. The popularity of the small ball era also fully proves that fighting big with small is an effective strategy.
In this round of series, the Xinjiang team has not tried to find another way to put five small lineups, but it is embarrassing—— The five small teams need to use range to draw space. It happens that their captain and core Sharam is not a player who can punish the defense through range
Salamu needs this kind of firm shot to punish the defense
What happened in the second half of G4 is a true reflection of the above argument. At the end of the third quarter, Qiu Biao directed the five small teams to fight back when they were behind.
Then Shalamu made five shots after that, all of which were three-point shots, but none of them hit.
Qiu Biao was unable to remove the salad wood at the critical moment of struggle. He was the fulcrum of morale and cohesion. However, the fact that Shalam didn't have three points really hurt the attack of Xinjiang team.
Han Dejun directly put Salamu one step, because he knew that Salamu could not punish the defense with three points
In addition to the inaccuracy of his three-point shot, there is another "fatal" problem. When there is an empty space, Salamu cannot throw the ball resolutely and decisively. Every time he receives the ball in an empty space, he does not directly complete the C&S shooting action, but makes a feint shot first.
The Fifth Primary School needs him to shoot three points, but this hesitant way of playing doesn't hurt Liaoning Team at all
This also shows that the long shot has never been his first choice. And a player with a three-point shooting rate of only 20% is really difficult to regard long-range shooting as the first choice
However, every time you catch the ball, you try to use a fake action to point, which is in fact to give the defender time to reach the position. Once the defense is reset, the standing position will not only leave Salamu no room for his own shot, but also eat away the space for his teammates to carry out the next step of operation. In the end, the round time is coming to an end, and it can only fall into the difficult one-on-one singles, and Sharamu can't eat the one-on-one defenders like the regular season.
I got a vacant seat at the first time and didn't make a move. After stopping, I found that there would be no more vacant seats
When Yang Jian was commenting, he repeatedly said that Xinjiang's three-point shot was "as precious as gold", but Salamu's habit of delaying the best shot time made Xinjiang's team's five small shots just deceive themselves.
In contrast, the five small teams of Xinjiang team did not completely fail to start. In the fourth quarter, Tang Caiyu made a decisive hit outside the three point line after he came on stage, and once made a comeback, reducing the difference to a level that could be tracked. From this point, it can be seen that only when more people of the Xinjiang team can pass the three-point attack defense like Tang Caiyu, the defense focus of the Liaoning team can be dispersed, and the Xinjiang team can take advantage of it.
In this way, maybe the finals are still going on, rather than a 4-0 sweep.
But the reality is very skinny. Liaoning team doesn't care about other people except Qi Lin and Tang Caiyu shooting three points when defending. The Xinjiang team also has no other back hand moves. They can only, like Sisyphus, keep passing the ball to Tang Caiyu, who was oppressed and defended by the Liaoning team. Tang Caiyu shoots three points against the defense, and then returns to the defense by hitting iron. They are fooling themselves.
If other people don't vote, they will find Tang Caiyu. Tang Caiyu is strictly guarded and finally falls into a dead circle
Everyone refused to shoot because Qi Lin and Tang Caiyu were both targeted, and finally the attack confidence of Xinjiang team collapsed
Well, now we can make a summary. The reason why Shaamu didn't have MVP in the finals was not only that Liaoning Team had found out about him, but also that his low position, breakthrough and no ball three board axe was completely inapplicable in the high-intensity match, and there was no other back hand moves that could be used on this occasion.
Shalamu's downturn and Xinjiang's 0-4 may be the inevitable result. In the final analysis, Salamu's technical and tactical characteristics cannot support him as the core of tactics, and the illusion caused by the low-intensity regular season cannot be continued in the finals. When the bubble was punctured, the role of the ball power was fixed, and the Xinjiang team did not have a second tactical axis in the same position, it was only a matter of time before the system collapsed.
At the end of G4, the exhausted Qiu Biao finally remembered that Crick was still sitting on the bench. And Crick is what the fans imagined Salamu should be like. The Australian who only played for 8 minutes scored 11 points with 100% shooting rate, including 2 out of 2 from the three-point line. The defensive end also contributed 1 break and 1 hat.
As a small interior line, Crick provides abundant energy and strength at both ends of attack and defense, as well as attack space and a variety of ways to solve problems. This is something that MVP Sharam does not do.
If Salamu can eat the match like Crick, will things be different?
Salamu in the finals actually reminds me of his appearance playing in the national team. In international competitions, Salad Wood can't be like CBA Playing the tactical core like that, because he can do too little when he has no match advantage at all.
To put it bluntly, when salad wood is stripped of its core frills by the high-intensity competition, it is just a "dream chasing". Even said, he still can not reach the tactical value of chasing dreams, because the passing speed and aggressiveness of Salamu are not enough, and he has no ability to deal cards at the top of the arc.
He is more like a degraded version of Batum with mobility and shooting ability. The fact that Bartum took the MVP was really unreasonable
I respect Salamu as a professional athlete very much, It has been proved that his professionalism and self-discipline are worth learning from and paying tribute to him.
But one is one, the other is two. Excellent mental quality cannot replace the level of football skills, and the fact that Salamu does not have the dominance that MVP should have.
This is the bottom reason why he played four bad finals.
Of course, I also very much hope that Salamu will be able to fake everything mentioned above in the future. It's a pity that a player with excellent will quality is buried like this.
