This year's offseason Shanghai team is the team with the largest investment, from the perspective of the new season, there is indeed a return, the current Shanghai team's record is 5 wins and 2 losses, ranking sixth, recently achieved three consecutive wins, the first stage of the later schedule is also relatively relaxed. Wang Zhelin and Guo Haowen are the best performers in the Shanghai team, Wang Zhelin can average 21.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, Guo Haowen can average 17.5 points per game, Ren Junwei, Zong Zan, Kelan Baike, Li Tianrong, Luo Hanchen are all doing well, and Franklin is also slowly finding feelings. Yuan Tangwen, including Li Chunjiang's two great disciples, Dong Hanlin and Liu Zheng, performed badly! Dong Hanlin was basically abandoned, and Liu Zheng was a pity that Li Chunjiang had not completely abandoned him.
In the new season, Liu Zheng averaged 20 minutes per game, only 5.3 points to score, very inefficient, shooting only 37.2%, shooting only 15.4% from three-point range, and shooting only 66.7% from free throws. In the last game against Beijing Shougang, Li Chunjiang only let Liu Zheng play for 5.4 minutes, and it can be seen that Li Chunjiang is very dissatisfied with Liu Zheng's performance, Liu Zheng's defense is very good, but the shooting rate at the offensive end is too low, and the mid- and long-distance shooting is inaccurate, which is very disappointing to the fans.
Liu Zheng was once the top flanker of the CBA in Zhejiang Guangsha, taking the 19-20 season (the last season of Guangsha), Liu Zheng averaged 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, quite comprehensive, and also shot 38% of the three-point shooting rate. It is precisely because of Liu Zheng's outstanding performance that the Shanghai team dug Liu Zheng out of Guangsha with a 3-year C contract last offseason. Coming to the Shanghai team, Liu Zheng judged that if the two were two, the average score last season was only 8.4 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate dropped to 28%, which did not help the Shanghai team to enter the playoffs; Li Chunjiang, the former mentor of the new season, came, and thought that Liu Zheng would find the feeling of being in Guangsha in the past, but did not expect Liu Zheng to perform worse and worse.
Liu Zheng is 30 years old, the decline in form is definitely related to age, the season is still early, the outside line of the Shanghai team is very much in need of his defense and attack, I hope that Li Chunjiang can activate him in the back.
