After Jones left the Jilin team, the Jilin team has only achieved a record of 2 wins and 9 losses under the leadership of new head coach Gao Junchao, which is only slightly better than the bottom Sichuan team. What is it that has brought the former playoff team to such a point?In this issue, let's take a look at it.
The Jilin team, the former single-aid team, has always been criticized for having too few foreign aid places, but they are still thriving in the CBA, at the cost of the main players playing almost the whole game. Including Jones, a single foreign player, caused Jones to complain on social media several times that he was working too hard, hoping that the team could bring in reinforcements. In exchange, Jones left the Xinjiang team.
Although the team has two foreign players Wells and Rakosevic this season, there is no one foreign aid for Jones, whether it is the run-in problem or the coaching ability of the head coach, it can reflect that Jones has formed a good chemistry with the team. From a certain point of view, Jones' departure is a loss for the Jilin team.
Jones' Xinjiang team is currently second in the standings, averaging 175 points 55 rebounds 7With 3 assists, he played more easily, but he was the team's second-highest scorer. However, his efficiency has taken a qualitative leap, from 42 minutes played last season to 25 minutes this season.
Jones's departure has the biggest impact on guard Jiang Weize, his ability to hold the ball is not very strong, when he partners with Jones, he generally focuses on the scoring guard position, and at that time he scored and cut melons and vegetables, and averaged 3 shots per game6 three-pointers, shooting 43% from three-point rangeAnd his best three-point point this season is just 25, the hit rate dropped sharply to 32%;The average points per game also dropped from 17 to 12. The only consolation is the assist from 46 rises to 64 pcs. It's not so much that the Jilin team has a disease"Jones's sequelae"., it is better to say that Jiang Weize has not yet adapted to the days without Jones.
Wells, the team's new junior outside player, is not good at handling the ball and assists, and he mainly plays shooting guard, averaging 185 points 48 rebounds 33 assists, and also pointed to Jiang Weize being able to send a second pass.
The best news for the team is that the team's third foreign player Peterson has joined the team, and the team attaches great importance to this young foreign player, counting on him to revitalize the team. Last season, he averaged 28 per game for Tongxi7 points 71 rebound 59 assists, although he is also a main shooting guard, but his assist ability is much stronger than Wells. His arrival can also share the pressure on Jiang Weize. The 183cm-29-year-old is also a score-scoring defender, and the team will need to improve their tandem ability at that time, and the team should not be too optimistic. The Tongxi team has point guards such as Wang Lanyan and Wang Zirui, and the Jilin team only has Jiang Weize.
However, the team should not be too pessimistic, in the team's seven-game losing streak there are five playoff teams, and the Fujian team has also entered the playoffs this season, and the team's strength has been greatly improved. The Jilin team needs to pay more attention to itself.
At present, the Jilin team has Jiang Yuxing and double foreign aid scoring 18+, the team is not short of scoring points, but other players also need to stand up, and the average score of the whole team is only 941 point ranked second from the bottom of the league, fifth from the bottom with rebounds, 13th from the bottom in assists, fifth from the bottom with turnovers (the fewest in the league last season), fourth from the bottom in shooting percentage (the fifth highest last season), and the fourth from the bottom with the proud three-point shooting, with a team-wide three-point shooting rate of just 31%.
