Which players should Beijing Shougang trade?

Beijing Shougang lost to Zhejiang Guangsha 104-109. The first stage of Beijing Shougang’s games was all over, with a record of 4 wins and 6 losses, ranking 11th in the CBA! They lost to Zhejiang Chouzhou twice, once to Guangdong Hongyuan, and once to Zhejiang Guangsha. In addition, they also lost to weak teams like Sichuan and Shanxi. The only four victories were against Shenzhen, Shanghai, Fujian, and Guangsha. They were all narrowly won by reversals in the second half, and there was no such big victory. Beijing Shougang spent a lot of money to build the lineup during the offseason, but they never expected to have such a record now! In the first stage, the scoring average was only 93 points per game, ranking fourth from the bottom; the three-point shooting percentage was only 34.8, ranking sixth from the bottom; there are so many inside players, and the basketball average was 42.5 per game, which was also ranked from the bottom.

Only Hamilton's performance among foreign players is satisfactory, averaging 17.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He has played in Shougang for four seasons and is relatively familiar with it. Jonathan Gibson's performance is not that satisfactory, averaging 16.8 points and 3.8 assists per game. He can only attack by himself and cannot organize. Defense is also a weakness. He averages 4 fouls per game. With Gibson's ability, he can do it better.

Fang Shuo averaged 17.3 points and 7.1 assists per game. Fang Shuo's performance was unparalleled, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.4. He is also the only local defender in Shougang who can do well. Zhai Xiaochuan averaged 13.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Except for his poor three-point shooting, he was impeccable in other aspects. Zhu Yanxi averaged 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 45. These three are all veteran players. Shougang relies on them and is still resting on its laurels.

Li Muhao averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game. His efficiency on the offensive end is really good, because the average playing time is only 20.4 minutes per game. It would be great if he could control his own fouls. Liu Xiaoyu's state in the new season is relatively good compared to previous seasons, averaging 7.4 points and 4.1 assists per game, but his three-pointer is too poor, which has always been his weak link.

Let’s talk about the two most disappointing players, Fan Ziming and Zhou Yixiang! Fan Ziming averaged only 4.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, his field goal percentage was only 41.9, and he averaged 3.7 fouls per game. He was troubled by fouls in many games. After losing to Zhejiang Guangsha, Fan Ziming posted: I can accept failure, but I will never accept giving up! Fan Ziming's contract will expire next year in the offseason. It is impossible to get the maximum salary and he will most likely have to leave.

Averaging 2.7 points per game, shooting 18.9 from the field, and 6.7 from the three-point range. This is the data Zhou Yixiang handed over in the first stage. The efficiency is unimaginably low. Zhou Yixiang has never proven himself in his entire career, and his efficiency has always been very low. In Xinjiang before, and in Shougang in the playoffs last season, his shooting was too tough. During this offseason, Shougang officially traded Zhou Yixiang from Nanjing Tongxi and also gave away two draft picks.

Every time he loses, head coach Pajagani always says that the players are exhausted! Now that the window period has arrived, I hope Shougang players can take a good rest, step up their training, and look forward to achieving good results in the second stage of the competition!
