On December 25, the second phase of the 2021-2022 CBA League regular season was rekindled, and in a high-profile strong dialogue, Beijing defeated Liaoning 99-76. The fiasco caused Liaoning to fall from the top of the table, but it may have accidentally saved Xinjiang coach Adi Jiang.
A fiasco that reduced Yan Jun to a supporting role.
Liaoning lost quite badly in this game, the whole game under the strict defense of the Beijing team, only scored 76 points, the last time Liaoning team below this score, to date back to the 18-19 playoff finals 62-99 loss to Xinjiang team, the net loss of 23 points also set a new low in recent seasons.
In the game, in addition to the first quarter of liaoning team can still resist a little, 26-29 only 3 points behind, the second quarter at the beginning of the Liaoning team made a series of mistakes, by the Beijing team quickly extended the lead to double digits, after which the trend has gone, has been pressed by the Beijing team, only 16 points in a single quarter, the third quarter is only 12 points into the account, the game lost suspense early.
Before the game, Liaoning was the third team in the league to average points per game, and Beijing was the team with the fewest points per game in the league, which was originally expected to be a fierce "contradiction war", but it did not expect to become one-sided. And the large point difference also "saved" Yan Jun, we know that the Yan Jun referee and the Liaoning team have an inexplicable origin, Liaoning fans think that Yan Jun is consciously targeting the Liaoning team, so whenever Yan Jun enforces the Liaoning team, when the Liaoning team loses, Yan Jun is often criticized and becomes the "culprit", this game because of the early loss of suspense, Yan Jun was basically not mentioned after the game, completely reduced to a supporting role.
Liaoning's loss was for a reason.
Liaoning's loss in this game is actually not surprising, mainly because the team's strength has changed.
The strength of the Beijing team has increased significantly. In the first stage of the regular season, Liaoning ranked first in the standings, Beijing only ranked 9th, but the gap between the strength of the two teams was not as large as it seemed, Liaoning and the top 6 teams only played 2 times, beijing team only touched the top 6 teams 7 times, the results of 3 wins and 4 losses (including victories over Guangdong and Zhejiang), not too inferior.
In the offseason, the Beijing team supplemented the two outside lines of Jeremy Lin and Gibson, one was well organized and the other was strong in scoring, which greatly strengthened the shortcomings of the Beijing team's defender line, and the Beijing team lineup was increasingly complete and had the strength to compete for the championship.
The Liaoning team hid a number of main forces. In this game, Liaoning took a rotation of Han Dejun, Guo Allen, Zhang Zhenlin and many other main players, which should be the main reason for the loss, in addition, Zhao Jiwei only played for 14 minutes, Zhu Rongzhen was still soft, Moland had just arrived, and he did not know much about the tactical system of the Liaoning team.
The strength of the Beijing team and the Liaoning team has increased and decreased, and it is not surprising that the Liaoning team has suffered a fiasco.
Perhaps it will become the help of Ah Tijiang's "sticking to his post".
In recent years, the former haoqiang Xinjiang team is Wang Xiao'er's New Year - a year is not as good as a year, the call of Xinjiang fans to "fall A" has not stopped, although A's Jiang "love and dedication" spirit has always supported him to stick to his post, but the pressure he faces is unimaginable to ordinary people.
The fiasco of the Liaoning team in this game may become a life-saving straw for Adijiang, the first two seasons of the Xinjiang team has also lost a number of main forces at one time, although the main reason for the decline in the performance of the Xinjiang team may lie in Adi Jiang himself, the loss of the main force is not unrelated, but with the lack of multiple main forces as a shield for himself to avoid "class", Adi Jiang should not let go, right?
Although the Liaoning team only took the turn to retire the main force based on various considerations, the high-profile strong battle ended in such a way, somewhat regrettably, hoping that the next two teams would meet in a real-life contest.
How do you see this game? Is the strength of the Beijing team above the Liaoning team? Welcome to high opinions.
