April 19, the recent CBA playoffs have started in full swing. Last night, the Liaoning men's basketball team ushered in the first game of the playoffs, and the opponent was the Shenzhen team. The Liaoning team was a little slow to start after the start, falling behind many times in the first and second quarters, but led by 1 point at halftime. Liaoning showed strong strength in the second half and finally beat the Shenzhen team 124-87, getting off to a good start. Many players of the Liaoning team performed well in this campaign. Yan Shouqi played 15 minutes, made 4 of 5 shots, scored 11 points and 2 assists, and contributed to the team's victory.
The Liaoning men's basketball team has adjusted its lineup for this game. We saw Li Xiaoxu in the starting lineup, which is rare. After the start, the Liaoning team was in average shape and was suppressed by the Shenzhen team in the first quarter. Yan Shouqi started the game. His task in the first half was more defense and he did not score in the half.
Yan Shouqi exploded in the second half. He first stole and assisted Zhao Jiwei to score, and then hit a three-pointer by himself. The Liaoning team took advantage of the momentum to open up the score, and the game situation was excellent. Yan Shouqi continued his output in the final quarter, scoring a goal with a sudden attack. The wonderful moment arrived. Yan Shouqi cut into the inside and fired up the defending Bai Haotian. He not only scored but also caused a foul. The score was "2+1". This ball was played very smartly. Later, Yan Shouqi hit another three-pointer. At this time, the Liaoning team had led by as many as 34 points, and the game was no longer suspense.
Yan Shouqi performed well in this game. He scored 11 points and 2 assists. Yan Shouqi's mission in the first half was defense, but in the second half the offense exploded, with three-pointers and "2+1".
Talking about Yan Shouqi, many Liaoning fans have doubted him in recent years, because he has been in the first team for a long time, but he just can't play. Some radical voices even suggested that the Liaoning team send Yan Shouqi away and instead train other young defenders. But this season is different. In the early days, Hugo was the head coach, and he gave Yan Shouqi a lot of playing time. He didn't give up because he made too many mistakes. It was through such experiences that Yan Shouqi gradually grew up. Coupled with the fact that Guo Ailun played intermittently due to injury, Yan Shouqi successfully took up the position in the backcourt of the Liaoning team.
In fact, Yan Shouqi is capable. Guo Ailun has responded to some radical fans on this before. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Yan Shouqi just lacked opportunities to exercise in these years. There are benefits to the increase in the CBA rounds, which forces the team to rotate more personnel, and Yan Shouqi did seize the opportunity.
