The second stage of CBA was in full swing, in which Shandong ranked fifth with 12 wins and 6 losses. In addition to losing four games in the opening stage, they only lost two games from 1 1, which can be said to be very good. Due to the neat internal and external lineup, the strength of Shandong team is generally optimistic. However, Liu Yi, an outstanding draft player, has been a little quiet recently, and his playing time has also dropped significantly.

The success rate of CBA draft in 2020 is relatively high. Many players get stable performance opportunities in their respective teams, such as Guangzhou team, Sichuan team's Zhu, Jiangsu team's Zheng Qilong, etc. However, some players have experienced the process of opening low and going high. For example, Liu Yi of Beijing University of Physical Education was selected by Shandong team at 10.

Due to the low ranking in the draft and the strong team strength, Liu Yi doesn't have many chances. After the start of the new season, Liu Yi got single-digit playing time in the first four games, and then entered a state of zero playing. His situation is similar to that of Zhang Ning of Peking University. Zhang Ning, who joined the Shanxi team with the eighth overall pick, had his own online celebrity characteristics, but his performance in the first stage was not satisfactory, with poor shooting percentage and low efficiency. Many people began to question his ability.

However, Liu Yi took the lead in welcoming the turnaround. Perhaps Gong was moved by his performance in training. He gained a lot of playing time from the match against Liaoning on1October 6th. The last three games in the first stage were 1 1, 17 and 15 respectively. It is important to keep a high hit rate.

Liu Yi's sudden emergence makes fans full of expectations for him to continue to consolidate his position, with excellent physical fitness and stable projection. Liu Yi's position is similar to Wiliam's, and he is highly valued in Guangzhou team. However, the basketball court is changing rapidly, and Liu Yi has encountered new difficulties in the second stage.

In 65438+February, Gong used it again. Counting the previous game against Tianjin, he won the starting opportunity for five consecutive games, but his performance was not as wonderful as before. Except for the game against Xinjiang, he scored only 2 points and 3 points in other games. Liu Yi's playing time gradually decreased from about 20 minutes. In the last two games against Guangzhou and Jiangsu, Gong Dou didn't start, and the playing time was only 4 minutes at most. Some people may say that a period of low tide is nothing, but Liu Yi is obviously going downhill.

In contrast, Zhang Ning, who did not perform well in the first stage, is now proud. In the last five games, he got a lot of playing time, became more determined in offense, and shot percentage increased greatly, averaging 13, which is his latest data performance.

The main problem of Liu Yi recently is that the Shandong team has a strong personnel reserve and the internal and external lines are in good condition. After Hudson's return, the perimeter is already crowded, and there is no shortage of good offensive players, including Gao Shiyan and Chen Peidong. The attack is very sharp, Li Jingyu's projection on the front line is still accurate, and Liu Yi has some ups and downs, so it is easy to be replaced by other mature players.

However, Liu Yi need not worry. After all, it is normal for the team to have injuries or ups and downs, and he does not lack opportunities to perform. In order to regain the trust of the head coach, Liu Yi must still start with his good defense, seize the opportunity to score, and believe that his bright moment is still behind.
