Live broadcast on January 7th news CBA regular season, Shandong 95-100 defeat Xinjiang. After the game, Shandong team coach Wang Yi and player Gao Shiyan attended the press conference.
When talking about this game, Wang Wei said, “today’s game, I think we played very poorly in the first three seasons. I think this is mainly a matter of mentality, it is not a technical and tactical problem. In terms of mentality, I think the ideological pressure of the players is relatively large. From shooting, we can see that the total number of shots is 33 out of 95 shots, the hit rate is 34%, and the number of shots is 37 out of 7 in 3-point shots is less than 20%, there are reasons for rushing or choosing opportunities here. However, there are also many empty spaces that have not been put in. This is mainly a matter of mentality.
“After losing several games in a row, everyone’s psychological pressure is also relatively large, and they are also eager to win the game. However, the competition itself is a link that compares psychology with tactics. Being too impatient will have a great influence on the play and execution of tactics. Excessive psychological pressure is the main reason for the bad mentality of the competition. After playing the game, Gao Shiyan and Tao Hanlin also had some injuries, which had an impact on them. Including that I am also very uncomfortable now. I had a fever some time ago, but it has not been very good. In fact, everyone is affected to some extent. In this job, we still need to move forward wholeheartedly.”
Gao Shiyan said: “I think today’s game is lost in the second quarter. At that time, the effect of the joint defense was not very good, and the defensive side gave the other side a lot of opportunities for three points. During that time, as a defender, I did not organize the team well, and secondly, there were some problems on the defensive side. Although we lost this game, the five people in the fourth quarter showed our mental outlook. I hope that through the fourth quarter of this game, we can sum up and continue to play this mental outlook in the following games.
“I think the main responsibility for losing in this game lies in me, because in the second quarter, I made the team more chaotic, resulting in a lot of losses. In the second half, I became very passive, with others, it doesn’t matter, including the coach. I have to make a good summary when I go back and play the game well.”
In this game, Gao Shiyan scored 13 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals in 14 shots and 5 shots.
