Live broadcast on October 12th, Ningbo 73-97 lost to Zhejiang in the first round of CBA regular season. After the game, Ningbo Coach Li Ke attended the press conference.
Li Ke concluded: “First of all, Zhejiang men’s basketball is a strong team and ranked in the top league last year. In the first match, everyone was adapting to the rhythm and intensity of the match. Both sides were adapting and looking for feelings. The opponents adapted better than us. Our problems mainly lie in the second section, and the connection between attack handling and cooperation is not well done. But generally speaking, our defensive changes and team members’ efforts meet the requirements of the coach. Another thing is that the team has changed a lot this year. Some newcomers have joined in. I hope they can work harder to show themselves and work hard with the team.”
Li Yuanyu, the player representative, said: “We did not adapt enough to the intensity of the game, probably because of the first game. As a newcomer who has just joined the team this year, I have not reached a tacit understanding with the team’s running-in and technical and tactical level. I hope I can play the responsibility of the old team members and lead everyone to fight every game.”
Ningbo ranked second last season with 3 wins and 35 losses men’s basketball, while Zhejiang ranked fourth in the regular season with 28 wins and 10 losses.
Li Yuanyu played for 25 minutes and a half in the game, and scored 8 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steals in 11 shots (0 out of 3 points).
