CBA League Round 16, CBA League ushered in the Qilu Derby, Shandong High-speed home to meet the same province brother Qingdao Guoxin, from the first fifteen rounds of competition, the two teams can be described as difficult brothers, Shandong High-speed as last season's playoff four, only 7 wins and 8 losses ranked eleventh in the league, Qingdao ranked twelfth in the league with 6 wins and 9 losses, both teams are trapped in foreign aid is not in place, and in the second stage of the league, both teams have a bit of shotgun for gun feeling, Shandong High Speed ushered in the return of two major foreign aid Hudson and Gillenwater, Qingdao's two major foreign aides, Wells and Johnson, also arrived as scheduled, but the situation of the two teams is not exactly the same.
Judging from the situation of Shandong Expressway, although the foreign aid returned, and the old Harian was not old, but the team was trapped by the rookie attributes of coach Xu Changsuo, the overall state of the team did not change qualitatively, the fourteenth round of hard work won the fish belly Jiangsu Kendia, the fifteenth round lost to the main competitor of the playoffs Sichuan Jinrong, the team's single tactics, too dependent on foreign aid problems exposed.
The first stage of Qingdao Guoxin's record is somewhat miserable, but after coming to the second stage, the return of foreign aid has greatly improved the strength and morale of the team, and they have defeated Guangzhou Dragon Lions and Ningbo Fubon, especially the victory over this season's big dark horse Guangzhou Dragon Lions has given the team a lot of confidence.
Judging from the game process, in the face of the same provincial brothers, Xu Changsuo, who has been the head coach of the youth team in Qingdao, is obviously not as strange as facing other teams, and is more targeted in terms of employment and tactics, and at the same time, it is more flexible in the on-site employment, and in the fighting style with Qingdao coach Wu Qinglong, the season is not in the inferior position for the first time. The long lock lock Qinglong can also be regarded as a surprise to Shandong fans.
In this game, Xu Changsuo made targeted adjustments to the Shandong high-speed starting lineup, using a large and four small lineup led by Tao Hanlin, With Li Jingyu as the fourth position, and the three defenders Hudson, Wang Ruheng and Chen Peidong jointly played. And the past main players Liu Guancen and Gao Shiyan were excluded from the 12-man roster, Xu Changsuo's active change of moves also received a better effect in the game, from the first quarter, the team was basically in a leading state, in the first half of the face of the impact of Qingdao double foreign aid, Shandong High-speed still maintained a 7-point lead.
In the second half, Qingdao Guoxin changed his moves, and the starting lineup sent a small lineup led by small foreign aid Wells, and achieved good results, once erasing the point difference to reverse the score. But Shandong high-speed through Hudson's play finally stabilized the situation, although the third quarter lost four points, but did not let the situation get out of control, in the key fourth quarter, Xu Changsuo and Wu Qinglong's fighting method once again prevailed, especially in the case of Li Yuanyu's full departure, Wu Qinglong did not send Johnson to lead the high lineup, but used a lower five small lineup, also received a miracle once counter-score, but this time Xu Changsuo also adopted a new change, Replaced Tao Hanlin with Jia Cheng, who had the stronger mobility, and regained control of the situation, and finally won the opponent 112-105, stopping the pace of Qingdao's three consecutive defeats and avoiding the embarrassment of two consecutive defeats.
Hudson was once again the team's winning thigh in this game, scoring a game-high 38 points in 37 minutes, including 5-of-11 three-pointers. At the same time, there are 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and the two games have 79 points, averaging nearly 40 points per game. In fact, Hudson's help to the team is not only reflected in these data, Hudson as the outside projection of the sea god needle, it is his arrival to stabilize the team's three-pointer military heart, in this game in addition to GillenWater continues to paddle, Wang Ruheng three-point shot 2 of 2, Li Jingyu 5 shot 3 of 3, Qiao Wenhan 1 shot 1 of 1, the whole team three-point shot 23 shots 11, shooting 48%. Although he lost money in the last round against Sichuan, his three-point shooting rate also reached 49%, and he shot nearly 50% of the three-point shooting rate in two consecutive games, which is a rare thing to see at Shandong High Speed this season.
Shandong high-speed this game can win another hero is Liu Yi, if you look at Liu Yi's data in this game, he played in this game for 28 minutes and only got 7 points and 3 rebounds, not too eye-catching, and some shabby, but if you watch the game process, Liu Yi's contribution on the defensive end is visible to the naked eye, this game he as a defensive tip, the main defense opponent small foreign aid Wells, whether with defense or confrontation is not too much loss, although Wells got 27 points, But this figure is already below his average, and Wells' scores are not very consistent, so they do not have the opportunity to control the game. This is also the key to winning the Shandong Expressway in this game.
