The National Games hit hard, averaging 20+9+4 per game! Without Lin Tingqian, this person is still an All-Star player

Before Lin Tingqian arrived, Shi Deshuai could be said to be the star of the Tianjin Men's Basketball Team. At his peak (18-19 season), he was able to hand in a gorgeous data sheet that averaged 19.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game. However, after Lin Tingqian joined the team and became the team's local core, Shi Deshuai simply began to play badly. In the past four seasons, he averaged less than double-digit points per game. In the past 24-25 season, his average score plummeted to 8.9 points, a new low since the 17-18 season.

However, in this year's National Games, Shi Deshuai regained his due skills. In the four games he played for Tianjin, he scored less than double digits in only one game, and scored 20+ points in the other three games. In the game where Tianjin defeated Jilin with an 8-point advantage, Shi Deshuai played 38 minutes in the game, made 6 of 12 two-pointers and 3 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 26 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

4 National Games preliminaries were played, and Tianjin achieved 3 wins and 1 loss, locking in the National Games finals in advance. During this period, Shi Deshuai averaged 29 minutes per game, scoring 20.5 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks, with shooting percentages of 52%, 44.4% and 84.6% respectively in the three events.

This National Games match was indeed a dimensional reduction blow for Shi Deshuai, and he also explained with practical actions that he was able to re-scorer double-digit scores in the CBA. However, Tianjin has missed the playoffs in these seasons (the last time he entered the playoffs was the 21-22 season), which is more or less related to the lack of strength of the team's local players.

Less well-known is that Shi Deshuai, who is 2.05 meters tall, has been selected as the All-Star twice (2019 and 20 years). As a swing forward with outside shooting ability, in Tianjin, which is currently in short supply, Shi Deshuai's paddling has also greatly reduced the team's strength. If he can score double-digit points again next season, Tianjin will still have the chance to enter the playoffs again while retaining James and upgrading from the small outside position.

Shi Deshuai, who is only 29 years old this year, is logically in the golden period of his career, but because of Lin Tingqian's existence, he has been playing in Buddhist activities in the past few years, which really disappoints the senior management's eager expectations for him.

In this National Games, in addition to Shi Deshuai, other young people like Zheng Haoran and Zhang Yunmeng have performed well. When Tianjin sent away the main players such as Meng Zikai and Jin Xin, it was actually to give young people more opportunities. As the Mesozoic generation who has played for many years, Shi Deshuai should indeed play a role model and be able to easily abuse the food on the National Games stage. His strength in the CBA is definitely not only an average of 8.9 points per game.
