On the second matchday of the second phase of the CBA regular season, the two league's new local tycoons competed, and finally Shanghai won 102-83 against Beikong and won the second stage.
In the past two or three years, the investment of shanghai and Beijing control teams has ranked among the best in the league. Both teams have undergone a major change of blood and have great ambitions. However, last season, both new local tycoon teams missed the playoffs and became a laughing stock.
This summer, Shanghai Jiushi continued to invest highly, successively introducing a number of strong players, and hiring the championship coach Li Chunjiang to take charge, pointing to the overall champion. In the first stage, After a short run-in, Shanghai opened low and walked high, 10 wins and 3 losses, ranking fifth. The first stage of Beijing Control was tepid, 7 wins and 6 losses, ranking tenth.
There are many highlights in this game, the duel between the old enemy Li Chunjiang and Marbury, the debut of Shanghai's new foreign aid Noah Feng Lai, and the confrontation between the talented point guards Liao Sanning and Li Tianrong and Guo Haowen.
The situation in The North Control is like a bamboo, taking a 9-0 lead. With 3:08 left in the first quarter, Ma Yong received an assist from Wang Junjie to score a layup, and North Control led by 17 points 26-9 to achieve a fantastic start. This is also the biggest point difference in the whole game, but after the start of the second quarter, North Control fell into a scoring drought, and in less than one quarter, the lead of nearly 20 points was eroded.
At the end of the half, Shanghai surpassed the score 47-44. In the first half, North Control made as many as 15 mistakes.
In the third quarter, the adjustment of the North Control did not have much effect, the offense only scored piecemeal, and the defense was full of loopholes. Shanghai's new foreign player Noah Vonle, although he still has yet to run into the whole team, his dominance on the inside has been initially revealed.
At the end of the game, North Control also did not show fighting spirit and tenacity, allowing the point difference to continue to widen. If it weren't for the relaxation of Shanghai's defense during garbage time, It would have been difficult for North Control to even get 80 points. In the end, Shanghai won 102-83 against Beijing Control.
From leading by 17 points in the first quarter to losing 19 points in the final game, a little more time in the third quarter, Beijing Control was reversed by Shanghai for as many as 36 points. Seeing the team's poor performance, Marbury shook his head and sighed at the end of the game.
In the whole game, North Control made as many as 32 mistakes, including as many as 10 single-quarter mistakes in the third quarter. All 10 players made mistakes, including Liao Sanning 6 times, Yu Changdong 5 times, and foreign aid Haas and Ma Yong 4 times each. It is not so much that Shanghai has a strong defensive intensity, but rather that the North Control is chaotic. In the first stage of the regular season, Beijing Control's average errors per game were very many. After a 40-day offseason, the first game of the second phase, Beijing Control once again had a staggering number of mistakes. And the team has no new people to join, which makes people wonder about the quality of the team's training in the offseason.
Objectively speaking, compared with Shanghai, which is strong and strong, Beijing Control lacks an absolute core of super personal ability, and small foreign aid is not in place, and the loss is not unexpected. But what Beijing Control played in the game, as well as the hard work and morale when it was behind, was difficult to satisfy.
The two new local teams have parted ways this season. Shanghai has become a championship group, while Beijing Control is still on the verge of the playoffs.
