In the G2 game of the CBA finals, the Liaoning team defeated the Xinjiang team 97-86, leading 2-0 in the overall score. Although the Liaoning team won the game in the end, they were one step closer to the championship. However, as an all-star player of the Liaoning team, Zhang Zhenlin's state in this battle was very bad, with only 9 points on 3-of-10 shooting in the game, which put him at a disadvantage in the FMVP battle. Facing Zhao Jiwei and Fu Hao, he may miss the FMVP in advance. Moreover, what is even more embarrassing is that Zhang Zhenlin is suspected of playing a big name in the game, ignoring the existence of his teammates, and angrily throwing his shirt to vent his anger.
In this round of the series between the Liaoning team and the Xinjiang team, there is actually not much suspense at all. After the Liaoning team took a 2-0 lead, the finals were basically one-sided. With the current strength and state of both sides, even if the Xinjiang team returns to the home field, it is unlikely that the counterattack will defeat the Liaoning team. And once the Liaoning team wins the championship, then, who will the FMVP be? Before the finals, Zhang Zhenlin's biggest opponent may be Zhao Jiwei.
However, after the first 2 games of the finals, Zhang Zhenlin In addition to Zhao Jiwei, a strong opponent, Fu Hao is also a potential opponent, these two games, Fu Hao's state is really good, if it continues like this, FMVP will most likely be his. Moreover, in addition to Zhao Jiwei and Fu Hao, Han Dejun and Fergus's state is also picking up, and they also have the possibility of impacting FMVP.

After scoring 19 points and 8 assists in the G1 game, Zhang Zhenlin was completely lost in the G2 game, shooting 3 of 10, only getting 9 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. With Zhang Zhenlin's current form, he may have fallen behind in advance in the FMVP battle. If the Liaoning team really wins the championship in the end, it will be really difficult for him to get the FMVP.
What's even more embarrassing is that in this game, Zhang Zhenlin was also very depressed in the game due to his poor condition. Throughout the first half, Zhang Zhenlin's offense was very unsmooth, and there were mistakes one after another. During a break in the first half, Zhang Zhenlin was suspected of playing a big name. When he walked to the team's bench, when the big foreign player Moreland reached out and high-fived him, at this time, Zhang Zhenlin ignored this teammate and seemed to be still in the mood of the previous mistake. After returning to his seat, Zhang Zhenlin was also very annoyed, and after taking off his jersey directly, he fell the floor.
As we all know, Zhang Zhenlin is one of the most talented players in the men's basketball team at the moment. In terms of physical fitness alone, he is definitely the only player in China. However, Zhang Zhenlin's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. In terms of emotional and psychological adjustment, Zhang Zhenlin has not yet reached his best state. At this point, compared with his teammate Zhao Jiwei, there is indeed a gap.
