This game seems to be a confrontation between Fogg and He Xining.
Fogg faced He Xining most of the time. He Xining's defense is not bad. He is tall and tall, a few centimeters taller than Fogg. His physical hardware and golf business software are enough to lead and defend the opponent's foreign players, but Fogg is determined to sweep away the haze of the past in this game. If he continues to be so decadent, it will not only delay his contract, but also the ultimate goal of the Liao Basketball Team, so don't worry about efficiency or anything. It's team basketball, just score points, that's what he should do!
So in this game, the styles of Fogg and Liao Basketball are actually a bit inconsistent. This season, under the guidance of Hugo, the Liao basketball team has established a team basketball system based on the pick-and-roll and with Zhao Jiwei as the core. Singles only occur when there is a mismatch.
But, except Ferg!
Fogg's style has always been like this, solving problems that team basketball can't solve, breaking through defenses that team basketball can't. Many offenses are unreasonable, but you have to admire that Fogg can always get something back every time he takes a shot. Either a goal or a free throw, so many people question why Fogg takes so many free throws? He only knows how to greet the referee, but seldom thinks about the troublesome aspects of Fogg. He is fast and hard, and does not have a too gorgeous rhythm. He can pull it up at any time and throw it when people are crowded. You can't do it without fouling. So, if you make a foul, then It’s called part of ability!
However, this style of pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth and dancing on the tip of the knife is relatively risky. When encountering special care and defensive heroes, the efficiency will be greatly reduced. Furthermore, Fogg's offensive routine has not changed over the years and has been changing. Regarding the defense of each team, those experienced defenders probably understood Fogg's temperament and were naturally more prepared.
only played 25 minutes in this battle. He took the team's highest 20 sports shots, 4 of 13 3-pointers, and a shooting percentage of only 30.8%. However, he made a lot of free throws, 9 of 12 free throws. Therefore, the overall true shooting rate was The rate is not low – 61.3%. Especially in overtime, the team scored 11 points, and Fogg scored 6 points alone, including a breakthrough layup and 4 free throws.
On the opposite side, He Xining's firepower came more clearly. He used the screen to shoot 3-pointers. He threw 18 in the game and scored 8, with a hit rate of 44.4%, including the last 3-pointer against Zhao Jiwei in regular time!
He Xining mainly plays the No. 2 position this season. With his height, if a normal defender is to defend him, it will have relatively little interference with his outside shots. At first, the Liao Basketball Team sent Zhao Jiwei and Yan Shouqi to guard him. Strategically, facing He Xining's pick-and-roll mainly relies on the center retreating (protecting rebounds), supplemented by weak-side defense. It was an obvious goal. Zhang Junhao did not step forward to interfere decisively. He just stepped up and stretched out his hand. He Xining finally scored a 3-pointer (4 minutes and 34 seconds in the fourth quarter). Ugo on the sidelines immediately reminded Zhang Junhao to rush up and defend.

Later, seeing that he couldn’t hold on anymore, Ugo adjusted to Fogg’s marking, and the effect was definitely there. Therefore, He Xining never scored again after the draw, and even added At the critical moment, He Xining, who felt hot in the hand, did not take action even once! This is the value of Fogg. He may have ups and downs on the offensive end, but the defensive end is always online. Fans often forget his unique role on the defensive end because of poor offensive performance. If Zhao Jiwei, who is a head shorter than He Xining, is replaced, or even a few young backcourt players are used to defend, the result of this game is really hard to say.
I have to say that Hugo's use of foreign aid in overtime was very correct.
The reason why Shenzhen was able to fight the Liao Basketball team into overtime was undoubtedly the most important thing was He Xining's explosion. In addition, there was Feng Xin's stunning debut and the continued stability of the two foreign players. But overall, against the strong teams, the performance of local players in other positions was lacking. Shen Zijie scored 10 points, Li Muhao 4 points, Zhou Peng 4 points, and Lu Pengyu 5 points. The creation of these scoring opportunities did not entirely rely on teamwork. Shenzhen scored 10 points, There are good terminators at positions 2, 4 and 5, which are the basics of their offense, but they lack efficient and sustainable tactical coordination.
The Liaoning Basketball team’s offense seems to be led by Fogg, but what really determines the team’s fundamentals is the Liaoning Basketball team’s team basketball. In addition to Fogg's 31 points, Zhao Jiwei had 17 points, Zhang Zhenlin had 16 points, Morand had 11 points, and the role or substitute also performed well, Yan Shouqi had 12 points, Fu Hao had 10 points, Han Dejun had 10 points, Li Xiaoxu had 11 points... Eight players from the team scored in double figures.
With so many people opening at the same time, it’s not just the individual soldier’s ability to solve the problem that cannot be solved, it is definitely impossible without a strong and stable team offensive system!
Zhao Jiwei and Morand or Dahan's pick-and-roll, just this one move, many teams have been unable to withstand it. Zhao Jiwei can play the ball, Dahan and Dahan can finish, and they have support.
Sullinger and Feng Xin defended the pick-and-roll, and obviously lacked some tacit understanding. Sullinger took the initiative to block Morand to prevent a downward pass (allowing Feng Xin to bypass it). Unexpectedly, Feng Xin did not understand that 8 meters away The opponent still focused on squeezing through, but Zhao Jiwei finally broke through and scored a layup.

15 If you are tired of playing pick-and-roll, then play a corner, and others will go offline. Take away the defense, then pass the ball, assist Fu Hao or Li Xiaoxu to throw 3 points. Fu Hao was recently moved to the 4th position as the starter. It can be regarded as another masterpiece of Hugo, protecting the two elders and enlightening Fu Hao at the same time. Now Fu Hao has completely become a very efficient off-ball terminator on the offensive end. Air cuts + 3 points are his main style of play. He occasionally plays behind the basket and no longer stubbornly looks for the board. He runs actively, takes advantage of every opportunity, Quick shots and sideways hooks are really difficult to interfere with. It is really rare to have such a No. 4 position.
In the previous 21 games, Fu Hao started 0 times, averaging 9.9 points per game and shooting 46.4% from the field. In the last 9 games, Fu Hao started 7 games (7 starts throughout the season), averaging 13.3 points per game and shooting 54.5% from the field. It is obvious that the offense is getting better and better, and the value of space is getting greater and greater. This is why Hugo was put into the starting lineup.

Of course, Liao Basketball Team can also rely less on Zhao Jiwei at some stages on the offensive end. Morand will support the ball, and Zhao Jiwei will act as an off-ball player and run UCL to cut. The basket, or Fu Hao and Zhang Zhenlin flexed the screen and opened the back door to complete the alley-oop.
Alternatively, the junior Zhang Junhao can also organize pick-and-roll cooperation.
In terms of organization, Zhang Junhao may be better than Yan Shouqi and Li Huyi. His vision and overall view are comparable to the young Zhao Jiwei. He has a young face but is calm at heart, with a bit of maturity that does not match his age. In the second quarter, Feng Xin just hit the ball under the basket; looking back, Zhang Junhao took the pick-and-roll and knocked Feng Xin away, and hit a throw-in to respond (11:08 in the second quarter); then he stole Sullinger and assisted the ball. Zhang Zhenlin; in the last 32 seconds of the third quarter, after grabbing the front board, he received a pass from Fogg and hit a three-pointer; at the critical moment of the fourth quarter (3 minutes and 11 seconds), Zhang Junhao took over and calmly assisted Li Xiaoxu to hit the goal after a sudden score. Two points longer. In addition, he also grabbed two priceless offensive rebounds in the final quarter.
The most important thing is that even if Fogg is sometimes inefficient, even team basketball may lack a certain finish, but the Liaoning Basketball Team has endless bullets-naturally it is good at rebounding, in addition to the protection of center Shen retreat on the defensive end In addition, relying on the team's active fighting, facing several inside giants such as Shen Zijie, Salinger, Li Muhao and Zhou Peng, the Liao Basketball team's offensive rebounding rate was 40.7%, completely crushing Shenzhen's. 18.6%! In other words, in terms of the ability to grab the frontcourt, in this game, Liao Basketball was more than twice as good as Shenzhen! ! !
22 front boards and 57 total rebounds helped Liao Basketball have 11 more offensive opportunities than Shenzhen. Therefore, even if they threw 52 3-pointers and the shooting rate was only 32.7%, Liao Basketball could still win.
Team, hard solutions, fighting spirit, rebounds, bench... everything is there. This is the strength of the Liao Basketball Team. There is always an indicator that will tell the whole story! They are not an easy opponent to defeat!
Of course, no team is perfect, and the Liao Basketball Team also has its own weaknesses, such as unstable 3-pointers and the ups and downs of Fogg's offense, but that's it!
