Original title: CBA enters the era of “guard-driven”

After knocking out the Shenzhen men’s basketball team with 87:82, Wang Zhelin, who reached the semi-finals of the CBA playoffs for the first time in his career, was very excited. This feeling is something he can rarely experience. “Life must have some goals, after all, I That’s the age.”

This is the first time in 12 years that the Shanghai men’s basketball team has advanced to the top four of the league again. Their opponent in the semifinals will be the Zhejiang Guangsha men’s basketball team that eliminated the Jilin men’s basketball team. Whether the Shanghai men’s basketball team with Wang Zhelin as the core can continue to move forward depends on many factors, one of which is how to limit the performance of Sun Minghui, the core guard of the Zhejiang Guangsha men’s basketball team.

“The biggest gap between the two teams should be the defenders,” Jiao Jian, a former Chinese national basketball player, told China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily. The players in the position, in terms of experience and ability, are slightly less than the former.”

Indeed, taking this series against the Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team as an example, the performance of the two main local defenders of the Shanghai Men’s Basketball Team may be difficult to satisfy head coach Li Chunjiang. Especially in the second game against the Shenzhen team on April 10, Luo Hanchen made only 2 of 12 shots and scored 5 points, 4 rebounds and no assists. Another guard Yuan Tangwen’s data was only 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. .

And Sun Minghui’s performance in the series against the Jilin men’s basketball team was dominant. He averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game. It was his two key three-pointers in the third quarter that helped Guangsha. The men’s basketball team overtook the score and finally advanced strongly to the semifinals.

In fact, among the teams that have entered the semi-finals, in addition to the Shanghai men’s basketball team, the other three teams – Guangsha, Liaoning, and Guangdong have a common feature, that is, the back line is very strong.

The Guangdong men’s basketball team has three national team guards Zhao Rui, Xu Jie, and Hu Mingxuan, and the Liaoning team has Zhao Jiwei and Guo Ailun dual-core drivers. In the promotion battle of the Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team, Xu Jie, a small guard of only 1.78 meters, made as many as 12 free throws, hit 11 goals, plus 6 of 10 shots, scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. Guo Ailun scored 40 points and 10 assists in the first series against Shanxi men’s basketball team. Shanxi coach Yang Xuezeng had to sigh after the game: “Guo Ailun’s ability is too strong!”

If we broaden our vision a little more, Chen Yingjun from Guangzhou Men’s Basketball Team, Rochester and Burton from Tianjin Men’s Basketball Team, Feld from Shanxi Men’s Basketball Team, Jones from Jilin Men’s Basketball Team, Wu Qian from Zhejiang Men’s Basketball Team, etc. Not the core of their respective teams, played a key role in the team reaching the playoffs.

Once upon a time, the CBA was still a league where center players won the world. Yao Ming led the Shanghai Men’s Basketball Team to win the only championship trophy in the team’s history in the 2001-2002 season. In the 2006-2007 season, Wang Zhizhi returned to China and put on the Bayi team again. The final 4:1 successfully avenged the Guangdong team and defended the The last honor of the Bayi men’s basketball team. In the 2016-2017 season, the Xinjiang men’s basketball team with Zhou Qi became the sixth championship team in CBA history.

But now, CBA has quietly entered the era of defenders. “The tactics of many teams now revolve around defenders. If the defenders are strong, it will be easier for the team to play games. Moreover, the team will pursue speed and conversion ability more in the way of play. .” Jiao Jian told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily.

According to the technical statistics of this season’s playoffs, the Liaoning men’s basketball team and the Guangdong men’s basketball team lead in offensive ability. Among the average scores, at least 82 points are related to the two. The three guards Zhao Rui, Xu Jie, and Hu Mingxuan of the Guangdong Men’s Basketball Team contributed 36.6 points and 13.8 assists to the team in the playoffs. Although the data is not as good as Guo Ailun and Zhao Jiwei, the tactical core of the team has changed from before. The foreign aid + Yi Jianlian has greatly transitioned to several players in the backcourt.

In fact, the guard-driven style of play has become the mainstream style of international basketball. Whether it’s European basketball or American basketball, it’s the defenders who hold the ball to launch pick-and-rolls to instigate offense—Spain, the runner-up in the 2019 Men’s Basketball World Cup, as well as Australia and France, all have world-class defenders. The CBA league is now regarded as the frequent emergence of guard talents, especially the growth of young guards such as Sun Minghui and Hu Mingxuan, which not only makes the league look good, but also provides a foundation for the Chinese men’s basketball team to keep up with the advanced playing methods of international basketball.
