Recently, the Shandong team has been criticized by the outside world for its poor record. After the two-game losing streak, the team’s ranking in the league dropped to 11th, and the prospects for the playoffs are not optimistic. As the team’s foreign aid, Hudson and Gillenwater’s performance is also particularly interesting.
In fact, although Hudson is older, his attacking firepower is fairly stable, averaging 24.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. However, the performance of the big foreign aid Gillenwater is really uncomplimentable. So far this season, the big foreign aid has only averaged 13.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

It was with the excellent performance of the two foreign players that the Shandong team maintained their lead in the first quarter.
In the next three quarters, Hudson and Gyllenwater played their respective roles. Hudson scored 21 points and 6 assists in only 3 quarters. Especially in the third quarter, “Hashen” made two three-pointers. His consecutive assists led the Shandong team to a wave. A 7-2 spurt. It was this small climax that helped the Shandong team to establish the victory of the whole game.
Although Gyllenwater mightn’t compare with “Hashen” in scoring, he was also very efficient in the first three quarters. He made 4 of 5 shots in 12 minutes, especially in the interior, which killed the Ningbo team and contributed 13 points. In the fourth quarter, Gyllenwater led the team alone. He scored 9 points in consecutive shots and penalties, suppressing the Ningbo team’s counterattack momentum.
In this campaign, Gyllenwater played 19 minutes, and he made 7 of 9 shots, including a three-pointer, contributing 22 points and 5 rebounds, the second highest score of the season.
