Live broadcast, December 21 -today’s CBA regular season, Xinjiang 81-110 lost to Shandong. After the game, Xinjiang men’s basketball coach Qiu Biao and player aludu salad Wood attended the press conference.
Qiu Biao commented on the game: “I think the game today is mainly lost on ourselves, especially the strong hardness of our defense at the beginning. The defensive pertinence is not enough, giving the opponent 37 points at the beginning, then there was another problem in our own attack. Losing 22 points in the first quarter was equivalent to digging a big hole, which was also the most important problem to be solved. The key point is that we got 81 points on the attack today. Our outside shooting rate may be a little anxious. We just told the team that ‘mainly let’s put our mentality and position right, must be based on the fight for each opponent, based on the fight.’
“The reason why we started behind, I think we are still not fighting hard enough. On the technical level, I think we can still sum up if we can’t get in, but there are too many opportunities for us not to get in, or to defend to the other side over the basket, three points for empty seats, and empty baskets, I also hope that everyone can understand this problem and improve it step by step. There are indeed injuries. Tucker (Farr), our main center did not fight either, including Yu Dehao, today. I think these are also objective reasons, however, I don’t want every team to see these things. I believe that if everyone does it well, the rest of us should not perform today, and we also hope that the team will grow and progress step by step.”
Aludu salad Wood commented on the competition: “I think our whole four-section competition still dug too big holes in the first section. In fact, the scores in the last three sections were still tight. I think our whole team in the first quarter should be in a sleepwalking state. Watching them get into too many empty baskets, they laid a gap of 20 points at once, and went after them hard, we haven’t been able to find our team’s own rhythm. The league is still very long. Summarize it well and play the game later.”
In this battle, aludu salad Wood played at 37 minutes 12 seconds, shooting 3 in 16, and scored 9 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists.
