The shanghai men's basketball team's first game of the new year met the Ningbo team. The strength of the team is limited, and it has beaten Nanjing Tongxi once so far. The Shanghai men's basketball team eventually won 119-85. In this game, The Shanghai men's basketball team's big foreign aid Feng Lai won 11 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals. After he's done four games, we can look at his abilities more objectively.

This is the first impression that Vonle gave us. In the next few games, Vonle's performance was less eye-catching. Against Xinjiang, he only had 5 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals in 18 minutes of playing time. In the game against Guangzhou, he had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 2 steals in 18 minutes. The shooting percentage in both games has also shrunk dramatically. He shot 3-of-13 from two-point range and 1-of-4 from three-point range.
# Tactical experiments and their own shortcomings #
From the actual battle, it can be seen that the coaching staff is still conducting some tactical experiments around him. For example, in the match with Guangzhou, Shanghai team in the fourth quarter of the point difference to 18 points, let Feng Lai as the No. 5 position, plus Yuan Tangwen, Guo Haowen and other outside players, played a "big with four small" lineup. This somewhat extreme routine may become a change of tactics for the Shanghai men's basketball team. However, from the perspective of actual combat effects, this set of tactics is still in the run-in stage. When playing Guangzhou, Shanghai's 18-point lead was eroded by the opponent. After that, the main force came on, but the Guangzhou team was full of momentum, and the sharks almost lost the game.

In addition to tactical experiments, some of Vonle's own problems have also made his play fluctuate. Although it is a large internal line, Vonle's technique is more outward-oriented. He's good at facing the basket and loves to shoot, but his back-to-back offense is lackluster. Against Ningbo, against rival foreign aid center Stimatt, Vonle twice singled his back, only to be hatped once and another dunk smashed into the neck of the basket. In addition, in some games, in terms of shooting choices, he played a little casually.
The second impression of Vonle gradually returned to reason. He is a capable foreign aid, excellent physical condition talent, can fall into the position, can also play a fast attack, technically also very characteristic, can further enrich the tactical system of the Shanghai men's basketball team, the initial judgment is no problem, but it is not without defects. The Shanghai men's basketball team uses him to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses, optimize the combination with different players, and tailor-made tactical routines.

Moreover, the role of the CBA's big foreign aid on each team is more in terms of rich tactics and complete system, and the explosive power of scoring is not so important. The overall strength of the team will not let foreign aid become the only arrow. Looking at the scoring list, the first place is Fujian's Trey Gordon, the second is Shandong's Hudson, and the third is Xinjiang's Merley, and the three teams are not considered to be the top ranked teams.
If you look at the top teams, Shanxi foreign aid Felder is 6th on the scoring list, and Liaoning local defender Guo Allen is 8th. After the CBA league changed the rules several times, the playing time of foreign aides shrank, and the influence on the game was also reduced. If teams want to achieve results, they still have to rely more on the whole and rely on local players.
# Guo Haowen three points down #
Instead of worrying that Feng Lai's attack did not meet expectations, it was better to worry about Guo Haowen's state. The Sharks' current top scorer is Wang Zhelin, who averaged 19.2 points per game; the second scorer was Franklin, who averaged 18.3 points per game; and the third scorer was Guo Haowen, who averaged 16.3 points per game! But after the start of the second stage of the league, Guo Haowen had some regressions, which were intuitively reflected in the three-point shot.
December 31, 2021, Changchun, 21/22 CBA Regular Season Round 16, Shanghai Jiushi 105-101 Era Guangzhou, China. In this game, Guo Haowen shot 0-of-3 from three points
He shot 42.86 percent from three-point range in the first phase, shooting 15-of-35. In contrast, in the four games since the start of the second stage, Guo Haowen's three-point shooting rate is 16.67% of 12 from the field. Last season, we said that Guo Haowen's strength lies in the breakthrough and attack and defense conversion after the rapid attack, but the three-point shot is a clear shortcoming, and the shooting rate last season was 24%. As a result, in the first stage of the season, Guo Haowen's three-point shot improved significantly, catching opponents off guard. But now how come it's going back?
The Shanghai men's basketball team is now playing as a whole, the depth of the lineup, and the average score of 6 people in the team is in double figures. But when fighting some hard battles, it is very necessary for a strange soldier like Guo Haowen to bring a wave of rhythm. Although the Shanghai team has now risen to the third place in the rankings, under closer examination, the team is far from reaching a complete state. The integration of big foreign aid and the state of the players also need to be maintained, and they can live up to the expectations of the fans in order to live up to the expectations of the fans.
