The 22 point defeat of Guangdong Team actually has other reasons. The key point is not the absence of Zhou Qi and Ren Junfei!
It was really unexpected that there was such a big difference in the first game of the high-profile Liaoyue Battle. In the second half, Liaoning men's basketball team opened the difference to 24 points when the two sides were only three points short in the first half. At the end of the game, Guangdong men's basketball team defeated Liaoning by 22 points 97-119! First of all, I would like to ask you why Guangdong team suffered a disastrous defeat in this game? Welcome to discuss in the comment area!
I think the answer of most fans is that the Guangdong team lacks Zhou Qi and Ren Junfei, but I don't think so! A brief review of the process of the game shows that Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin were undoubtedly the most eye-catching players in the first quarter of the game. Zhang Mingchi made two 3-pointer shots, and Xu Xin scored directly under the basket once and walked up to the free throw line for two free throws. Only when the two scored 10 points in total did they try to help the Guangdong team catch the score. At the end of the first quarter of the game, they were only 1 point behind Liaoning team! Obviously, Zhang Mingchi's performance in the first quarter has exceeded his normal level, but under such circumstances, the Guangdong team is still in a passive situation!
On the Liaoning team side, Zhang Zhenlin alone scored 11 points in a single quarter, and among these 11 points, there were two points, three points and a penalty shot. It can be said that he broke through the front line of the entire Guangdong team alone! In fact, the key point of Guangdong team's defeat is very clear!
The first is the attack. Guangdong team, which always depends on three-point shots to determine the game trend in both the regular season and the playoffs, hit 12 of 45 three-point shots in total, with a poor 26.7% hit rate! Specifically, for the players, Waters made 3 of 12 3-pointers, Hu Mingxuan made 1 of 7 3-pointers, Du Runwang made 2 of 7 3-pointers, Xu Jie made 2 of 7 3-pointers, Zhang Mingchi made 3 of 8 3-pointers, Huang Mingyi made 0 of 1 3-pointer, and Li Yizhen made 0 of 1 3-pointer! As the team with the highest three-point shooting rate, it is normal for the team to suffer a disastrous defeat if the three-point shooting is like this in a game!
It is also worth noting that it is normal and understandable that freshmen like Huang Mingyi and Li Yizhen play abnormally on the stage of the semi-finals, but if Hu Mingxuan and Waters, including Xu Jie and Du Runwang, cannot find the feel of three-point shot, even if Zhou Qi and Ren Junfei return to Guangdong Team in the next game, it will still be difficult to play! To be honest, the Guangdong team got a lot of opportunities outside the three-point line in this game, especially Hu Mingxuan, who got a three-point vacancy at the beginning of the first quarter, but he didn't regain a touch until the fourth quarter, but even Hu Mingxuan got 10 points in a single quarter in the face of a huge difference, it could not change the trend of the game!
On the other hand, Liaoning team, who are not good at shooting three points, hit 44% of the three-point shots in this game. They also shot the three-point shot when their own rebounds were dominant. It is natural to win a big victory under such circumstances! In fact, this is the second key point of the Guangdong team's defeat, which is their own defense! It's not that Liaoning Team played so well, but that they didn't limit themselves enough! One of the most representative is the defense of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin!
First of all, Zhang Zhenlin got 34 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals! I have to admit that Zhang Zhenlin really has strength, but the core problem that Guangdong team can't help him in this game is Zhang Haojia's foul! As the only third player of the Guangdong team, Du Feng directly promoted Zhang Haojia to the starting line-up in order to limit Zhang Zhenlin's play as much as possible. However, he made three fouls in the first three minutes of the game. Both the second and third quarters were called fouls just after his debut!
Some fans may say that Zhang Haojia met a black whistle, but as a Guangdong team fan, I don't think there is a problem with the referee. From the first whistle at the beginning of the game, it can be seen that the referee was quite strict with his opponent's actions, but Zhang Haojia repeatedly failed to explain his hand actions cleanly, With the guidance of Du Feng, you have not found the standard of the referee! Such problems cannot be solved even if Zhou Qi and Ren Junfei come back in the next game, because Zhang Haojia is the only defender who can match Zhang Zhenlin!
The second is the defense against Zhao Jiwei. Zhao Jiwei got 19 points, 14 assists and 8 rebounds in a quasi triple double. His shooting percentage was as high as 77.8%, and the three-point shooting percentage was 66.7%. If you let a team's brain play such a performance on the court, there is no hope of winning!
So the reason why Guangdong team suffered a 22 point defeat was that their own attack and defense had problems! Maybe the return of Zhou Qi and Ren Junfei can solve some of these problems, but if you want to win the competition, you must rely on everyone to solve these problems!
