On the 22nd, Franklin, a defender who once played for CBA in Shanxi, Sichuan and Shanghai, lost his job in the Philippine league. In the first 9 games, he averaged 23.1 shots and got 37.3 points, but in the latest game, he only shot 5 times and got 4 points, his abnormal performance made the team lose 102 to 120 miserably. Then Franklin left the team. Why Franklin had such a big contrast is still a mystery.
Franklin once killed four parties in CBA. He could get high scores in many games, many of which came from free throws. Franklin used to have more than 10 free throws in a single season, which showed that his ability to make free throws was extraordinary. Some fans also named him “the king of touch porcelain”. Franklin used to play for men’s basketball in Shanghai this season, but his condition declined obviously. Franklin was originally a player who relied on rhythm changes and making free throws as the main means of attack, but his offensive advantage was greatly reduced when his physical ability declined and the League encouraged more confrontation. Therefore, Franklin’s role on the court is quite limited. After leaving Shanghai men’s basketball, he moved to the Philippine league, but in the first few matches, Franklin was still the core of the team’s attack. His average number of shots exceeded 20, it is completely the treatment of the team’s top cards, and the average score is also very high. What I didn’t expect was that Franklin’s desire to attack showed a cliff-like decline in the recent game, which also directly affected the team’s record.
There was no clear explanation why Franklin was so. It is not clear whether there is a new job opportunity waiting for him. However, Franklin’s performance in CBA was still quite dedicated most of the time. Especially when playing for Shanghai, Franklin’s family died in the United States, but it caught up with the critical period of the team’s impact performance at that time. Therefore, Franklin did not choose to return to the United States for mourning after repeated measurement, instead, stay in Shanghai men’s basketball and play until the end of the season.
