This season abandoned the old acquaintance Landsberg of the past two seasons, Zhejiang Chouzhou men's basketball team but in the small foreign selection of a main no. 2 position, the more diminutive Eric Green, is indeed somewhat unexpected, because the past few seasons of Chouzhou in the defensive position is indeed some people overcrowded, in order to let Wu Qian take the position, they even Deng Meng, a demon star who averaged 30+ per game, gave up, and in the case of the team needing a forward foreign aid, but parted ways with Landsberg, The choice of Eric Green, a defender who is only 1 meter 91 tall, has also made the outside world begin to question whether ChouZhou will look away this time.
Due to visa and isolation reasons, Green did not arrive at the team until the second stage of playing nearly half of the time, January 18 with Shenzhen, Green in the 17 minutes of playing time, 8 shots 3 only scored 9 points, although in the subsequent game with Jiangsu Kendia won the highest 21 points of the Chouzhou career at that time, but that game Green only hit 6 goals in 18 shots, facing such a chinese team did not play competitive, but also let everyone's doubts about Green grew louder, Especially in the second stage of the finale and qingdao match, Green once again pulled his crotch, hitting 5 goals in 16 shots in the whole game, more or less sounding an alarm for Chouzhou.
However, after the rest period of more than 1 month in the second stage, in the case of entering the third stage, Green's state has obviously changed greatly, the first game against Shanxi, he played 8 of 15 in 23 minutes, took 26 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists, maintained a stable attack at the same time, but also has a good passing ability, but also let many Chouzhou fans call out zhenxiang. Coinciding with the injury of Dawai Rakosevic in the match against Liaoning, Green, as the team's only foreign aid, also simply became the main core. In the focus showdown between Chouzhou and Liaoning on March 5, Green withstood the pressure without dropping the chain, and in the 40 minutes of playing time, he cut 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, helping the team to win without any danger.
Although he later lost the battle with Guangsha, Green handed over a quasi-triple-double of 31 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in that game, which became a fig leaf for the team. In the last showdown with Shanxi, Green finally played the savior of the team, and in the case of a bitter battle between the two sides for 1 extra time, he killed the opponent with a mid-range and won this precious victory with difficulty. After entering the third stage, Green can average 28.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, shooting 48.1% and 42.6% from three-point range, respectively, which can be regarded as a proof for himself.
Although the height of 1 meter 9 is not dominant, in Chouzhou, a team that is good at attacking and defending to convert fast attack and counterattack, Green will often be sent to the No. 3 position by coach Liu Weiwei to play the role of cameo forward, which has a good projection ability, so that he can use his own shooting to make up for the height disadvantage in the defense of these domestic players, and this season still maintains the impact Of the championship hope of Chouzhou, if you want to go further in the playoffs, I am afraid that you really have to rely on Green, the core of the backcourt.
