On the evening of the 29th, the BAIC men's basketball team lost 100-112 to the Zhejiang team at home. Although the BAIC men's basketball team failed to win the game at home, Jiang Wen's performance was remarkable. Jiang played 29 minutes and scored a career-high 18 points, including 4-of-5 three-point shooting. Jiang Wen said after the game that he was first based on defense on the court, and when there was an offensive opportunity, he shot decisively.
The BAIC men's basketball team brought in Jiang Wen from Zhejiang Guangsha before the start of this season. Jiang Wen was originally the same group of players as Sun Minghui, but due to many reasons such as position, Jiang Wen's opportunities to play in the Guangsha team were very limited. Last season, he only played in 11 games, averaging only 6 minutes per game, and his growth rate was noticeably slow. After coming to the BAIC men's basketball team this season, Jiang Wen didn't have much chance for most of the time, and he couldn't even get into the 12-man roster in some games. But he still worked hard to start with training and wanted to be ready.
The BAIC men's basketball team changed coaches in the middle of the season, and the use of Jiang Wen increased significantly after Jorio took office. The BAIC men's basketball team has lacked fresh faces and enough game vitality for many seasons before, but Jiang Wen has brought changes to a certain extent.
Since then, Jiang Wen's playing time has increased, but it has not been consistent. Recently, the BAIC men's basketball team has encountered a wave of injuries, especially Fang Shuo and Tian Yuxiang in the backcourt, who have suffered injuries of varying degrees, and their playing situation has also been greatly affected. In this case, Jiang Wen was given more court time, and he also seized such an opportunity. In the match with the Zhejiang team on the evening of the 29th, Jiang Wen played the best game of his career. He got into the groove quickly from the opening stages, took shots from the perimeter when he had the chance, and hit a high percentage due to his decisive attack. After hitting two three-pointers in a row, Jiang Wen shouted emotionlessly, and it could be seen that he was releasing his emotions. Later, Jiang Wen also became more and more relaxed and entered a better rhythm of the game.
Jiang Wen was surrounded by reporters after the game, but he was shy and a little unable to answer questions. When asked about his new career high, he replied: "Yes, I remember my previous highest score was 17. After that, I didn't have any goals, which was to defend well on the pitch and do my best to do my own thing. Offensively, when the opportunity arises, he shoots decisively and hopefully helps the team better. It is also worth mentioning that Jiang Wen's wife is also a staff member of the Shougang Club, which has become a good story for the BAIC men's basketball team.
