On December 26, Beijing time, in a CBA regular season game that ended last night, Liaoning lost to Beijing 76-99, and after losing this game, Liaoning's ranking dropped to second in the league, and Shenzhen, which has won eight consecutive games, rose to first. Yesterday was the first match day of the second regular season of the CBA, and the league officially moved from Zhuji to Changchun, so this game is also an opener for Liaoning. The debut loss to Beijing team 23 points, no chance to open the door, after the game Liaoning coach Yang Ming also let loose words, and said why the team will lose to Beijing.
At the post-match press conference, Yang Ming said: "The team is still a personnel problem, the four main players are not on, including Zhao Jiwei today is not playing for a long time, he is in the hands of several countries in the team, the physical state is relatively in line with the requirements of the game, but he does not dare to let him play more." For the outcome of the game, their health is the basic guarantee for the team's future results. This game is still aimed at training the team to run in, including the big foreign aid run-in. And facing the Beijing team is also a rare learning opportunity for our young players, so that everyone realizes that everyone must do their best to play with a strong team like Beijing."
From Yang Ming's post-match speech, it can be understood that although it is the first game of the second stage, the loss of the Liaoning team is actually a strategic abandonment. First of all, the main force of the Liaoning team Guo Allen, Han Dejun, Zhang Zhenlin and Li Xiaoxu did not appear in this game, according to the relevant reports before the game, it can be learned that the reason for their absence is that after a long period of isolation, the physical state and physical fitness can not suddenly adapt to the high-intensity game confrontation, need to find the state of the game through certain training, out of consideration for physical health and other factors, the coaching team finally chose to rest these main forces.
Secondly, although Zhao Jiwei appeared in this game, he only played for 14 minutes before clocking in and leaving work, and participating in this game was entirely to make up a 12-man roster. According to Yang Ming's interview, Zhao Jiwei is the best of several major players to recover their state, and can basically adapt to the rhythm and intensity of the game. It can be seen that Liaoning has been prepared to strategically abandon this game before the game, and Yang Ming's point of view is also very clear, Liaoning, as a championship team, will not care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool in the regular season, and the physical health of players is more important than winning or losing.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the interview, Yang Ming also released harsh words to Beijing, he said: "For our team, the next game against Beijing is our real contest, and I am also looking forward to this game." "Obviously, Yang Ming and the Liaoning team are ready to take revenge in the next two battles with the Beijing team, and the Beijing team should be careful in the case of the return of all the main forces of Liaoning." As a championship-level team, the Liaoning team is still very confident, and pays great attention to the physical health of players while ensuring the record. After a season of experience, head coach Yang Ming has also gained great growth, and the Liaoning team is once again ready to impact the championship.
