On the evening of December 20, the Shandong high-speed men's basketball team sat at home to face the Qingdao men's basketball team, a brother team in the same province. In the end, the Shandong men's basketball team lost to the Qingdao men's basketball team 94-104 and lost the much-watched "Qilu Derby".
At the post-game press conference, Shandong men's basketball coach Ding Wei summed up the game like this: "We want to set some things before the game, including rebounding. Judging from this game, except for the rebounding data that is slightly better, the other statistics are lagging behind the opponent across the board. In particular, our shooting percentage, two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws were not ideal. In this kind of important competition, how to adjust the psychology of the players and let them play their normal level is a topic. Such an outside shooting percentage is not a reflection of the true level of the player. Of course, the game is not good, and it is more uncomfortable for me to lead the team like this. But for now, how to adjust the players, how the coaching staff can actively find a way, and everyone work together to get out of the slump, is what we need to do now. I still say the same thing, the coach is the first person responsible for the team loss, and there is nothing wrong with this. ”
Qingdao men's basketball foreign aid Powell felt hot in this game, scoring a triple-double of 31 points, 13 rebounds and 16 assists with high efficiency. The two foreign aides of the Shandong men's basketball team, Shayok and Gillenwater, scored only 31 points in this game. In this regard, Ding Wei said that the team's defense of Powell has some problems, and Powell's state is also extremely hot. Ding Wei revealed that the team has no plans to adjust foreign aid for the time being. Gillenwater had a cold hand in this game, shooting 3-of-18 from the field. Ding Wei said: "As a professional player, it is normal for the state to have ups and downs - the league is so long, it is impossible to say that it has been so efficient. I had a long talk with Gillenwater yesterday and he made it clear that he was going to give it his all. But in the first half of the game, he acted like sleepwalking. At halftime, I told him, this shouldn't be your state, and he swore to me at the time, don't worry, coach, I will definitely adjust. But when the second half began, he was ......So I can't use him anymore in this game, because his mentality is wrong and it's not good for the team's chemistry, so I want him to adjust it. ”
Chen Peidong, who attended the post-game press conference with Ding Wei, said: "We played badly at the beginning of the first and third quarters. In the case of falling behind, we also failed to play well according to the coach's arrangement, could not shoot, and the retreat was not timely enough. Hopefully, we can make some adjustments during the "three-in-a-row". ”
