Last offseason, after Zhou Qi left, the Guangdong men's basketball team got Wang Shaojie on loan from Beijing Enterprises, but because the team had many big foreign aids, Wang Shaojie did not get too many opportunities. However, in the playoffs, Wang Shaojie still used his best defense to give Guangdong great help. Facing the Shanghai men's basketball team with Wang Zhelin, Yan Pengfei and Lofton on the inside, Wang Shaojie not only did not drop the chain, but became the key to the team's victory.
It is true that Hu Mingxuan's key three-pointer is the key to Guangdong's last laugh, but without Wang Shaojie's role on the defensive end, Guangdong would not have had the last laugh. In the whole game, Wang Shaojie came off the bench for 2 minutes, hit 0 shots, and got it1 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks,The plus/minus is as high as a terrifying +29, which is the first in the team。 You must know that after the whole game, Guangdong only won Shanghai by 4 points.
Even though there was no performance in the first three quarters, Wang Shaojie still made a positive contribution to the team when the playing time in the final quarter was fully guaranteed. With 42 seconds left in the final quarter, Wang Shaojie successfully interfered with Shanghai's offense, and then helped Gillenwater get the ball and assisted Xu Jie to hit a key layup.
In addition to this defense, Wang Shaojie's rebounding scramble is also the key to Guangdong's last laugh in this game. Wang Shaojie picked up 3 rebounds, 0 of which were frontcourt rebounds, second only to Moreland in the whole team, if it weren't for Wang Shaojie standing up and actively fighting for rebounds in the frontcourt, Hu Mingxuan, these backcourt players are unlikely to get so many opportunities to attack twice.
In fact, Wang Shaojie himself also knows that when his offensive means are limited, he can only use defense to help the team, and it is precisely in a key stage like the playoffs that defense is an indispensable factor in determining how far the team can go.
As one of the few players who has a greater presence in the playoffs than in the regular season, Wang Shaojie has been much higher than the regular season during his tenure in the previous two seasons with Beijing Control, in addition to the 1.0 points and 0.0 rebounds per game in the 0-0 season, he also continued to stand up in the playoffs last season, averaging 0.0 minutes of playing time per game, getting 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists and 0 steals, and the shooting rate is as high as 0.0%. So in another playoff trip, it is not by chance that Wang Shaojie can have such an amazing performance.
In the best-of-three system, Guangdong has already got the match point, and Lofton, who has an excellent performance in the regular season, was successfully limited by Guangdong in the playoffs.
