Under the leadership of the new head coach Gao Junchao, the Jilin team has only achieved a record of 2 wins and 9 losses, and the performance is not good. It's a shame that a former playoff team has fallen to such a point. So, what caused the Jilin team's defeat and even consecutive defeats?
1. The problem of foreign aid leads to imbalance
In the past, the Jilin team has always been known for playing with a single foreign player, and although they have been criticized for having too few foreign players, they still have achieved good results in the CBA league. However, this approach also brings a lot of problems, first of all, the main players have to play almost the whole game, which is extremely physically demanding. Secondly, the departure of foreign players has a direct impact on the team's offensive and defensive balance and overall chemistry. For example, Jones's departure pairsDefendersJiang Weize's impact is particularly obvious, and his ability to hold the ball and score has been significantly suppressed.
However, in this season the team brought in two foreign players Wells andLacoAfter Sevic, there was no foreign aid like Jones, whether it was the run-in problem or the coaching ability of the head coach, it reflected from the side that Jones has formed a good chemistry with the team. This also led to difficulties in the team's tactics and player coordination.
2. The lineup reshaping brought about by Jones' departure
Jones' Xinjiang team currently sits second in the standings, averaging 17 per game5 points 55 rebounds 73 assists, not only played more easily, but also made a qualitative leap in efficiency. This also means that Jones' departure is a loss for the Jilin team.
Jones' departure had the biggest impactDefendersJiang Weize, when he was paired with Jones, performed well, averaging 36 three-pointers, shooting 43% from three-point rangeAnd this season, without Jones, hisThree-point shotThe shooting percentage dropped dramatically to 32 percent, and the average points per game dropped from 17 to 12. The only consolation is that the number of assists has increased. This shows that Jiang Weize has not yet adapted to the days without Jones, which has had a certain impact on the team's offense.
3. The introduction of new signings and the team's expectations
In order to fill the void left by Jones' departure, the Jilin team brought in small foreign players Wells and the upcoming onePeterson。Wells is the main hitScoring guard, averaging 18 per game this season5 points 48 rebounds 3With 3 assists, he is expected to bring more points to the team on the offensive end, but is not very good at assists with the ball. WhilePetersonHe performed well for the Tongxi team, averaging 29 points per game7 points 71 rebound 5With 9 assists, his arrival can share the pressure on Jiang Weize and improve the team's overall offensive tandem ability.
Although Jilin's record is not ideal, they still have a chance to turn the tide. The team needs to focus on its own problems and make positive adjustments, especially in terms of overall team coordination, offensive performance, rebounding, assists, etc.
Jilin's performance this season has been indeed disappointing, but we also have to see the difficulties and challenges that the team is facing. Judging from the situation of the Jilin team, there are several questions worth pondering:
1. The introduction and training strategy of foreign aid
In the past, the Jilin team was known for its single-foreign aid play, and to a certain extent, it did achieve good results. However, in the current situation of the general increase in the number of foreign aid, is it possible to readjust the strategy of introducing and cultivating foreign aid to better adapt to the situation of the league?At the same time, the team also needs to be more cautious in recruiting to ensure the strength of foreign players and the fit with the team.
2. The overall coordination and offensive efficiency of the team
The overall coordination and offensive efficiency of the Jilin team in the game need to be improved. In addition to a few main players, the scoring ability of other players needs to be better played. The team needs to strengthen the tactical arrangement on the offensive end and the tacit cooperation between players to improve the overall offensive efficiency.
3. Balance internal and external capabilities and role play
Jilin needs to better balance the ability of the inside and outside and let each player play the role they do best. Teams need more rebounding and defensive intensity to better control the pace of the game.
The Jilin team is currently losing in a row and is not optimistic. However, difficulties are also challenges, and we believe that the team can overcome them, realign the team and further improve the overall strength. I hope that the Jilin team can achieve good results in the next games and bring more surprises and joy to the fans.
