On December 13, Beijing time, the 15th round of the WCBA League ushered in a focus battle, and Sichuan finally defeated Inner Mongolia 87-84 to win 15 consecutive wins. After the loss, Inner Mongolia not only ended its 14-game winning streak, but also lost its top position. Moreover, in the game, Inner Mongolia once fell behind its opponents by 18 points, completely without the style of the former leader. After losing this battle, they are most likely out of the regular season championship.
Before the start of this game, in fact, the outside world is still more optimistic about Inner Mongolia. After all, the latter is the defending champion, and also gathered 9 national players, 3 more than the Sichuan team, in terms of lineup strength or psychology, Inner Mongolia is still dominant. However, as du Feng, the coach of the men's basketball team, said, the paper strength is virtual, and it is only known after the real fight.
No, Inner Mongolia has been in a passive state since the start of the first quarter. Trailing their opponents by 5 points at 16-21 in the first quarter, after entering the second quarter, this should have been a good time for Inner Mongolia to chase points. However, Li Yueru was in a general state, and did not score a point in the first half, which also gave Sichuan a chance, another wave of 28-18 small climax, extending the lead to 15 points.
Although it was at most 18 points behind in the first half, Inner Mongolia is the defending champion after all, and its strength is still there. Although Li Yueru was sleepwalking in the whole game, Huang Sijing and Yang Liwei and others were still in good shape, and Inner Mongolia once tied the score in the second half. However, at the critical moment, the Sichuan team stabilized its position and finally laughed to the end.
As the defending champion, Inner Mongolia in the previous 14 battles can be described as a difficult to find opponents, once beat the opponent by 79 points, the average win of the opponent nearly 50 points per game, but this time, in the face of the number one opponent in the championship, they lost, and, losing a little embarrassingly, if it is not Huang Sijing and other people struggling to support, the defending champion is afraid that he will suffer a big defeat. Moreover, after losing this war, Inner Mongolia is likely to lose the first place in the regular season, and a season of efforts has been wasted.
