On February 5th, mclemo arrived in Jinan smoothly. On February 6th, he appeared on the training ground and carried out training for recovering alone. According to the video from the scene, although mclemo has not participated in the high-intensity competition for a long time, the shooting status remains good, especially the three-point shooting is very accurate.
February 11th was mclemo’s 30th birthday. Although he had just arrived in the team for a few days, the club still attached great importance to his birthday and prepared a birthday cake for him in advance. After the morning training, everyone sang happy birthday songs in English in the training ground to celebrate his birthday. The teammates surrounded mclemo and pressed his face into the cake. The scene was very happy. Mike Lemo, with a cake face, raised his head with a smile and gave his teammates a thumbs-up to express his gratitude.
As for mclemo’s joining, Shandong men’s basketball coach Wang Wei had high hopes. He said that the reason why Shandong men’s basketball introduced mclemo was mainly because his three-point goal was good. In addition, he was relatively fast, you can lead the ball to break through and tear apart the opponent’s defense to drive the whole team. In addition, mclemo is in the year of fighting and should not suffer losses in the confrontation. Mclemo’s first impression of Shandong men’s basketball is that the team is fast in attack and defense. He hopes that he can play the advantage of fast attack and score more goals for the team. According to reports, mclemo has recently trained with the team, but he has not yet participated in the confrontation training, mainly because the coaching team has not recovered to his best condition.
It is said that this time he joined Shandong men’s basketball, it was the first time that mclemo went abroad, so he was still a little uncomfortable with the time difference. I believe that with the passage of time, he can find his competitive state well and integrate into the team faster. The actual combat ability and adaptability of this new foreign aid depends on the situation of confrontation training and actual combat. Fortunately, there is still a period of time before CBA restarts, and mclemo has time to get familiar with the team’s tactics. On March 1st, the CBA regular season Shandong men’s basketball home game against Liaoning, mclemo is expected to stage the first CBA show.
After consultation with all parties, the Shandong High-speed basketball club has been confirmed recently, and the team’s home court will return to Shandong Stadium (Shandong High-speed Basketball Stadium). On March 1st, Shandong men’s basketball will play the Liaoning team at home in the provincial stadium, which will also be the first home game played by Shandong men’s basketball in Jinan after 1104 days.
