Zhou Qi's lethality is off the charts, Yang Hansen's cap is like the wind, Gao Shiyan's iron is amazing, and the CBA internal battle is eye-catching.
In the thirteenth round of the CBA League, the Guangdong team and the Tianjin team staged a thrilling showdown, and finally the Guangdong team narrowly defeated the Tianjin team 116-111, continuing their undefeated golden body. The biggest attraction of this game is undoubtedly the duel between Zhou Qi and James, the inner core of the two teams.
After Zhou Qi returned from a back injury, he showed amazing lethality, not only dominating the inside line, but also grabbing deadly offensive rebounds at critical moments to seal the victory for the Guangdong team. James, on the other hand, played well on the outside, hitting two three-pointers in a row, and scored 51 points and 15 rebounds in the game, playing the best performance of his CBA career.
However, when he faced Zhou Qi on the inside, he seemed powerless, and was even whistled for a technical foul, becoming one of the main culprits of the Tianjin team's defeat. Zhou Qi's performance makes people have to sigh at his dominance in the CBA.
He only played 29 minutes, shot 10 baskets, and scored 25 points and 13 rebounds, which was extremely efficient. His defense on the inside also made the Tianjin team's interior players daunting, unable to break through and score effectively.
The presence of Zhou Qi has greatly increased the internal strength of the Guangdong team, and also made their outside players more confident and relaxed, so that they can better play their strengths. The return of Zhou Qi has made the Guangdong team a completely different team, stronger and more stable.
However, Zhou Qi's condition has not yet recovered to 100%, and his back injury still needs time to adjust and recover. If he can stay healthy and progressive, then his influence in the CBA will be even more unmatched.
Zhou Qi's coach Du Feng is also a person who knows how to maximize his advantages, and he has formulated appropriate tactics and plans for Zhou Qi to allow him to play the maximum role on the field. Zhou Qi's performance in the CBA also makes people look forward to his prospects in the national team, he is still the first inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team and the hope star of Chinese basketball.
Of course, Zhou Qi is not the only interior superstar in the CBA, there is also a young rising star who is challenging him, and he is Yang Hansen of the Qingdao team. Yang Hansen's performance this season is eye-catching, he not only has a strong scoring and rebounding ability on the inside, but also has an amazing blocking talent, his defense, discourages opponents, and his blocks make the audience amazed.
In this round against Shandong, Yang Hansen showed his defensive charm, he swiped 8 blocks, set a new high this season, and he also scored 8 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists to help Qingdao defeat Shandong 115-110 and achieve an important victory. Yang Hansen's blocking ability reminds people of some interior superstars in the NBA, such as Yao Ming, Howard, Gobert, etc., and his defensive potential makes people feel that he is qualified to challenge the NBA stage.
Yang Hansen's offensive ability, although not as mature and comprehensive as Zhou Qi, but he also has his own characteristics and advantages, his speed and flexibility, so that he can have a variety of offensive means on the inside, his shooting and free throws, are also constantly improving and stable. Yang Hansen's performance made him another inner hope of the Chinese men's basketball team, and also made the competition between him and Zhou Qi more fierce and exciting.
In the comparison between Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen, there is one person's performance that is very disappointing, he is Gao Shiyan of the Shandong team. Gao Shiyan is the highest-paid player of the Shandong team and the main defender of the national team, and his ability and potential are beyond doubt.
However, in this season, Gao Shiyan's state has declined significantly, and his key data such as scores, assists, shooting percentage, and three-point shooting percentage have all come to a new low in Shandong's career. In this round of the game against the Qingdao team, Gao Shiyan's slump reached its peak, he shot 9 times, but did not shoot a basket, did not score in the whole game, and he was constantly sent a big hat by Yang Hansen, which made people feel distressed.
Gao Shiyan's performance put Shandong's offense in a difficult situation, and also made their defense lose support, which ultimately led to their defeat. Gao Shiyan's state makes people wonder if he has lost his fighting spirit and motivation because of signing a contract with a maximum salary, whether he can still regain his confidence and level, and whether he can still contribute to the Shandong team and the national team.
The internal battle of the CBA league makes people see the current situation and future of Chinese basketball, the competition between Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen makes people look forward to more confrontations and cooperation between them, Gao Shiyan's downturn, makes people worry about his future and development, and their performance also affects the overall strength and level of the Chinese men's basketball team.
