Can Lin Shuhao stand out in the competition of 3 foreign aid and enter the starting lineup of Guangzhou Dragon Lion in 4 sessions and 4 person-times CBA?
Directly to Nathaniel Mei Sen, who is more likely to win the favor of head coach Guo Shiqiang?
Is the completely different tactical system between Guangzhou Dragon Lion and Beijing duck more conducive to Lin shuhaofa’s own characteristics?
The above is the challenge Lin Shuhao faced after joining Guangzhou dragon and lion. The East Asian Super League invited Zhang Yongjun, a Chinese basketball legend who called the crooked gun, to interpret these problems.
Challenge 1: Starting battle
During the off-season, Guangzhou Dragon and Lion Club made great efforts to renew Nathaniel Mei Sen, sign Lin Shuhao, and then sign former Golden State Warrior striker Jordan Bell.
In the first half of last season, Guangzhou Dragon Lion had only a single foreign aid Nathaniel Mason, the latter of course served as the starting line; But by January this year, TJ-life, who once worked for Indiana Pacers and Portland Trail Blazers, joined Guangzhou Dragon Lion and immediately replaced Mason’s starting position and tactical position-before life joined, mason’s average playing time was more than 40 minutes; After life joined, his average playing time dropped sharply to 21.6 minutes, and the playoffs dropped to 13.0 minutes. The CBA of the new season will continue the foreign aid policy of 4 sessions and 4 people, which means that Mei Sen, Bell and Lin Shuhao will compete for the only starting quota and share 48 minutes of playing time. Therefore, there is media speculation that Lin Shuhao may have a major role adjustment in Guangzhou Dragon Lion’s CBA career, not excluding becoming Chen Yingjun’s substitute……
Zhang Yongjun’s interpretation
In the lineup of Guangzhou, I think maybe the No. 4 (Bell) will have more time to start, because comprehensive defense and steady attack should be considered at the beginning. Lin Shuhao’s role should be that he has rich experience, comprehensive and strong ability now, I think one of Guo’s guidance is to use his fast attack organization and breakthrough ability in the middle section to drive domestic players to play. In addition, he hopes Lin Shuhao can play well at the critical moment. Not necessarily starting is the main force, and the main force is not necessarily starting. I think Lin Shuhao’s role at the critical moment and his organizational ability, it should bring several more victories to Guangzhou in the new season. Lin Shuhao is over 30 years old and is the mature period of the defender. I think Guo Shiqiang places more hope on his organizational ability, it is not contradictory to let Chen Yingjun play his attacking role better. Lin Shuhao should have more chances to attack after taking the ball for a while, this is also a card to liberate Chen Yingjun. However, this Bell has never played in China before, and the inner team members are sometimes not easy to say. I don’t know whether he can adapt to Chinese style of play and cooperate with Guangzhou team members, once the cooperation is not skilled or difficult to play, perhaps Lin Shuhao and Mei Sen also become the main attack points.
Challenge 2: Foreign aid dispute
Whether starting or replacing, the involution between foreign aid is also very serious, especially Lin Shuhao and Mei Sen, whose positions overlap. Mei Sen’s figure, attack choice and shooting posture are all very similar to Allen Iverson, and of course the short board is also very similar. Mei Sen’s scoring efficiency is extremely high. He contributed 14.7 points in 13.0 minutes on average in the playoffs last season, but the three-point hit rate is very hot, only 16.7%, and, the height of 188cm and relatively poor defensive consciousness do not take advantage of the defensive end. On the other hand, Lin Shuhao hit 39.2 percent in the regular season and has a broad passing vision and a positive defensive attitude. Guo Shiqiang, head coach of Guangzhou Dragon Lion, attaches great importance to the performance of the players on the defensive end-in the 2019-2020 season, the defensive efficiency value of Guangzhou Dragon Lion is 121.3 of the bottom of the whole league; After Guo Shiqiang took over the handsome seal in 2020, the index rose sharply, last season, it has been promoted to 111.2 of the 11th in the league.
Zhang Yongjun’s interpretation
It should be said that Mei Sen and Lin Shuhao are both players who attack the team and are not the kind of independent players. These two players should all be preferred by Guo Shiqiang. In terms of quick attack, counterattack, breakthrough and passing, I think Guo Shiqiang prefers Lin Shuhao, especially his passing ability and his quick breakthrough are certain threats.
Challenge 3: tactical system
The tactical systems of Guangzhou Dragon Lion and Beijing duck are quite different.
Beijing duck is good at the cooperation between the defender and the center. Common tactics include: high gear removal, pistol tactics, Spanish gear removal, horn tactics, folding attack, etc. Tactical execution is that Beijing duck is good at creating basket space for insider and giving full play to the height advantage of the twin towers. The tactical execution of Guangzhou Dragon Lion is more dominated by Feng Wei swing people, and is good at the Zoom Action of Denver Nuggets and the Weave Offense of Golden State Warriors. In half-time battle, Guangzhou Dragon Lion often stands 5 outside, and insider is often pulled to downtown, with a large space under the basket. Although Li Yanzhe, the starting center of Guangzhou Longshi, is not often out in three point line, Zheng Zhun, the substitute center, is a stable tower of antiaircraft gun, reaching the highest 43.8 percent of the team three-point shot percentage last season. In an interview, Lin Shuhao once said-“The fast style of Guangzhou dragon and lion is very suitable for himself.” But Fast and Slow are only relative. Last season, Beijing Duck was the slowest team in CBA regular season, with 86.5 rounds per 48 minutes; Guangzhou had 89.0 rounds per 48 minutes, the fifth from the bottom.
Zhang Yongjun’s interpretation
It should be said that Lin Shuhao was not very bold and unrestrained in Beijing, because there were two centers there in the past two years, second ghost door-our outside team members do not want to have two centers under the basket, which is often not conducive to some breakthroughs on the outside. I think that if Zheng Zhun is going to play a season this year, Lin Shuhao’s breakthrough points should bring Zheng Zhun and Chen Yingjun many good three-point opportunities. In addition, Lin Shuhao is under great pressure in all aspects of Beijing. Beijing’s performance requirement is to enter the top 3, while Guangzhou’s goal is relatively low. The top 8 is enough to enter the playoffs. Less pressure is more conducive to Lin Shuhao’s better use of himself, especially to use his main energy to play the ranks behind. Relatively speaking, these teams are not so high in level, the pressure is not that great. I think Lin Shuhao and Mei Sen and Guo guidance can play a role after using them.
