Guo Shiqiang really treats Cheng Shuipeng as Curry! His coaching philosophy is very modern

In this men's basketball Asian Cup, the three-pointer of the Chinese men's basketball team was eye-catching and even a little unfamiliar. In the first match of the Saudi men's basketball team, he made 8 of 22 three-pointers and shot 36.5%. In the second game, India made 15 of 28 three-pointers and shot 53.6%. Is this still the Chinese men's basketball team who used to have constipated shooting from outside?

Among them, Wang Junjie and Cheng Shuipeng are really accurate. Wang Junjie made 1 of 2 in the first game and 3 of 3 in the second game. Cheng Shuipeng made 3 of 5 in the first game and 2 of 5 in the second game. Wang Junjie returned from the NCAA and has a very modern playing style and is a space-based power forward. Cheng Shuipeng, who comes from Zhejiang team, has a very advanced playing style and is very NBA.

After watching Cheng Shuipeng's offensive style in these two games, he felt like he was playing Curry and Lillard. Guo Shiqiang gave him a very high degree of freedom.

For example, after he and Hu Jinqiu made a 15 pick-and-roll, he made a three-pointer, full of confidence and decisiveness, and Yu Jiahao's 15 pick-and-roll, he saw the opponent's center back and retreat, and after covering, he directly pulled out a three-pointer like this. Curry often did this kind of ball, such as this breakthrough, and he stopped in a three-pointer.

Curry often does it.

Cheng Shuipeng used two covers from Zhao Jiayi and Yu Jiahao to cut from the bottom line to the top of the arc, and took a three-pointer. This double set up two covers, similar to the elevator door's three-pointer tactic. Curry often used his teammates to cover the basket and hit the ball with defense. Curry often did this. The reason why Cheng Shuipeng dared to shoot three-pointers so confidently was inseparable from Guo Shiqiang's support. Guo Shiqiang also set up special offensive tactics for him, which is enough to show that Guo Shiqiang is not a stubborn conservative coach. His coaching philosophy is also following modern basketball, paying great attention to space and three-point tactics.

Cheng Shuipeng performed very well in these two games, which is the strongest offensive point in the Chinese men's basketball substitute lineup. I hope he can continue to maintain aggressiveness and become another "Wang Shipeng".
