With the successful landing of Tianjin and Shandong, Beijing Enterprises was stuck outside the threshold of the playoffs once more this year. In terms of real money invested, Beijing Enterprises in the past two years can definitely rank among the top three in the CBA. But even so, Beijing still failed to enter the top 12. Many voices believe that head coach Marbury should be dismissed, but in fact, the author believes that the biggest fatal shortcoming of Beijing Enterprises is that Marbury has no way to solve it.
In the final battle of the playoffs this year, the four teams of Beijing Enterprises, Shandong, Tianjin and Xinjiang competed for two playoff seats. Beijing Enterprises previously ranked around 10, leading in position, but collapsed in the final stage and was overtaken by Tianjin.
There is a voice that Beijing Enterprises coach Marbury is a foreigner, while Tianjin coach Zhang Degui is a local coach and has a better relationship with other local coaches, so in the final playoff battle, Marbury lost to CBA’s ” Humanity”. There was such a voice last season. Last year, Beijing Enterprises had the lead in the final stage and defeated its direct competitor Guangzhou, but in the end lost consecutively to Shandong, Liaoning and Qingdao, and was overtaken by Guangzhou at the last moment. Combining with the head coaches of Shandong, Liaoning and Qingdao are Gong Xiaobin, Yang Ming and Wu Qinglong respectively, and thinking regarding their relationship with Guangzhou coach Guo Shiqiang, it is indeed imaginative.
There is a saying that “it needs to be hard to strike iron”. Look at the final performance of Beijing Enterprises this season. They have faced direct rival Tianjin twice and lost all of them. It is also difficult to obtain a win in the two intra-city derbies once morest Beijing. The Tianjin team directly incarnates the “Jinzhou Warriors” in the third stage, with 8 consecutive victories and only one loss in the third stage. Judging from the competitive state and team level, Tianjin should indeed advance to the postseason. game team.
If there is a “sophistication”, it must also be combined with the reality of the team. For example, the Beijing team chose to rest the games once morest Xinjiang and Shandong when the ranking was basically determined. Because playoff teams also have to consider their rankings and the health of their main players to prepare for the playoffs. You can’t fight to the death because of the so-called “worldliness”. If the main force is injured more than the gain. So this can only be said to be “push the boat with the current”. Opportunities have to be seized.
Buy buy buy
Under the influence of the epidemic, most teams have reduced their investment, but Beijing Enterprises, Shougang and Shanghai have gone the opposite way and have been buying and buying, which indeed reflects the strength of large state-owned enterprises. Looking at the results, Shanghai has rushed into the top four and Beijing is in the top eight, but Beijing Enterprises has not even entered the playoffs.
Looking back on the operation of Beijing Enterprises in the past two years, it is definitely a big deal. Last season, Sun Tonglin, Yu Changdong, Li Gen, Hou Yifan and other players were introduced. Bayi Supermarket grabbed Zou Yuchen, Ma Yong, Luo Kevin, Wang Junjie, Shi Yanbo, plus powerful foreign aids Youdu and Joseph Yang.
This season, the lineup from last season was basically retained. Li Weihao was selected in the draft, Liu Chang and Liao Sanning were upgraded to the first team, and 3 foreign aids were signed, “two big and one small”, Haas, Todorovich and Landsberg. It seems that the North Control team is strong and strong, and it is not a problem to enter the playoffs. But basketball is not that simple. It’s not like the higher the number in the game, the stronger the team.
The biggest weakness of Beijing Enterprises was until the end of the season, and Marbury might not come up with a solution.
The lack of qualified organizers is a fatal shortcoming, and it is difficult for Marbury to cook without rice.
Beikong has a good defense, and its defensive efficiency ranks sixth in the league. The author believes that the biggest problem of Beikong lies in the offense, and it lacks a “qualified organizer”.
Liao Sanning, the two main local defenders of Beijing Enterprises, although he has played some dazzling performances, let everyone see his talent, but he is a rookie and inexperienced following all. Zhang Fan is more of a shooter, his shooting is better than organization. And both have experienced major injuries and have been in ups and downs.
As for the three foreign aids signed by Beijing Enterprises, Haas is a traditional insider, Todorovic cannot fight tough battles, and Landsberg is also his own scoring type of foreign aid.
Judging from the key battles once morest Shougang and Tianjin, the Beijing team has Fang Shuo, Liu Xiaoyu and Jeremy Lin in the backcourt, all of them are battle-hardened and experienced. Rochester, the 37-year-old Champions League scorer in the backcourt of the Tianjin team, was in charge, and the attack was well organized. On the other hand, Beijing Enterprises, the critical moment might only let Landsberg single.
Looking at other competitors of Beijing Enterprises, there are also offensive commanders in the backcourt. Shandong has Hudson who can cast and pass, Jilin has a “model worker” Jones, Shanxi has Feld, and Guangzhou has Chen Yingjun. The Xinjiang team has no small foreign aid, and the local defenders are serious, and they also missed the playoffs. It can be said that they share the same problem with Beijing Enterprises.
In the previous two seasons, Beijing Enterprises also had Sun Yue. Although Sun Yue’s speed burst has been taken away by the years, his height, vision and passing skills are still there. And this season, even Sun Yue is gone. Looking at the team’s consecutive mistakes and missed attacks at critical moments, I don’t know if Marbury has changed his jersey and played his own thoughts.
Now look back at the news of the last offseason, because the 20-21 season failed to enter the playoffs, according to Xinhua News Agency: “In the past, some major decisions such as foreign aid selection and team style of play were made by Marbury alone. The situation will change.” Then Jilin media reported, “Beijing Enterprises may exchange Sun Tonglin + funds for Jones.”
If an organized foreign aid such as Jones, Feld or Gordon is signed, the outcome of Beijing Enterprises may be different, and Marbury is also a clever woman who can’t cook without rice.
