In the game between Beijing Control and Shandong men's basketball team, a rookie Chen Guohao actually suppressed CBA foreign aid Gillenwater, which was a big surprise. Gillenwater tried to defend Chen Guohao on several occasions, but all failed. In contrast, although Chen Guohao is not the team's number one attacking point, he dwarfs Gillenwater with his aggressive scrambling and fighting spirit that is not afraid of strong opponents.
Although Chen Guohao only had a bright performance in the first half, he proved his strength with 6 points and 8 rebounds, including 5 frontcourt rebounds. Although Gillenwater scored 17 points and 11 rebounds in 36 minutes, he did so with nearly 20 shots, the lowest efficiency on the team.
He seems reluctant to engage in physical duels and always tries to make difficult mid-to-long-range shots, which has become a telltale feature of his recent games. On the defensive end, there is always an inexplicable misposition, unwilling to engage in physical confrontation, and the attitude is not positive in front of the camera. This form cannot be hidden, especially in the combined statistics of multiple games.
Gillenwater: The road to rebirth in the face of adversity, once hailed as the omnipotent Gillenwater, now begs the question: what happened?Was it Foster's dismissal that made his position more secure?Gillenwater's form has dropped significantly so far this season, compared to previous seasons. Despite his age, his former all-round offensive approach seems to have lost its power this season.
Injuries have caused Gillenwater to miss a number of games, and his negative performances have left fans disappointed after his return. The team's captain, Tao Hanlin, is also worrying, his role this season has completely shifted to a blue-collar role, playing time has been greatly reduced, and the former dominance of the basket seems to be gone. Fans are looking forward to the return of the little shark that was still in the old glory.
It's not just about his personal form, it's also about the team's future results. Perhaps feeling the pressure, Gillenwater's form has improved significantly in recent times, and he has regained his old attacking and defensive feel.
However, just when people were looking forward to the future of Tao Hanlin and Gillenwater controlling the game, Gillenwater fell into a trough again, and the Shandong men's basketball team's interior line was still difficult to play at the level it should have, and the record was sluggish, no matter what kind of opponent it faced, it seemed difficult. The team is anxious, and the fans are even more anxious, and they can't help but ask: why did the all-powerful Gillenwater of the past few seasons suddenly become a "parallel import"?
Although his ability is unquestionable, his attitude does need to be corrected quickly. Maybe he's not in good shape, he's even injured, but as long as he's on the pitch, he should give it his all to fight for the team. Blindly slacking off will not only fail to help the team, but will become a burden. Should the Shandong Men's Basketball Club, whether it is the coaching staff or the management, take action?
Maybe they can counsel Gillenwater individually, or find other solutions. In short, they can't sit idly by and let him adjust on his own, and can the team afford it?
