Tonight, the 16th round of the CBA regular season was played again, and Guangdong defeated Jilin 116:99 to end a two-game losing streak. With a big victory, sweep away the downturn since entering the second stage, it can be said that it is a new year with the appearance of victory! In this game, Zhao Rui was absent, but Ren Junfei returned. Although there is still a shortage of major generals, tonight's Guangdong played more actively than the first two games, scoring 30 points in the first quarter and beating the opponent by 19 points in the second half, making the game lose suspense early.
The UAE Dream returned to the peak, cutting 25+15 again after two years
The biggest contributor to this Guangdong victory is undoubtedly Yi Jianlian. In this game, the UAE Played 26 minutes, 9 of 12, 4 of 6 from outside the three-point line, efficiently cut 25 points and 16 rebounds, and 3 blocks, plus or minus as high as 26. In the first quarter of the game, the UAE League showed amazing form, shooting all three from outside the three-point line, and cutting down 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter. It is worth mentioning that this is the second time after two years that 25+15 data has been obtained.
Being able to overcome a devastating injury such as a ruptured Achilles tendon at such an age and return to the field is a legend in itself. Yi Jianlian returned to the field with his high degree of self-discipline and amazing willpower, although he could see with the naked eye that he jumped not as high as before, ran not as fast as before, and rarely saw that kind of earth-shattering buckle. However, he can still contribute to the team with his experience and skills, just like tonight.
Dreaming of returning to the top may even be a derogatory one, because we know very well how terrifying the UAE League was at its peak, and its strength was far more than that. If he was in the first two or even the previous stages, it felt a bit "heroic twilight", this game really found some feelings. Even if he doesn't jump high, he can still influence the opponent's shot with experience and excellent arm span, guarding the three-second zone under the basket, while the offensive end shows excellent feel. The transformation into an anti-aircraft battery may be a feasible path for the UAE in the future. Either way, he can help the team, both tactically and mentally.
He won as soon as he returned, and the name of the chicken stealing master was well deserved
There is such a kind of golden oil player, the field does not look very conspicuous, or even not impressed, after the game when he got the data sheet, found that he unconsciously scored 20 points. Ren Junfei is such a player, nicknamed "chicken stealing master" by fans, who can take advantage of the other party's inattention to play with the other party's defense.
His return is also a big reason for the victory in Guangdong, and finally has some support in the front line. He played 29 minutes off the bench and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 9-of-13 shooting, almost filling the data column. He is also a substitute player, in addition to Xu Jie and Zeng Fanri, the only player to score, is the third highest scorer in the team, after Hu Mingxuan and the UAE.
With the help of this game, Guangdong has regained a little bit of state. At present, they rank 6th in the league with a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, and the gap between Shanxi, Beijing and Guangzhou is not large, and the subsequent games cannot be taken lightly, and the fields are all games to be won.
After the cross-Chinese New Year's Eve passed, there was still a major play waiting for them, that is, the strong showdown with Liaoning. The Liaoyue war has always been the focus of attention of fans, and the two sides can be described as a gathering of national players, which is the top competition in the league. At that time, Zhao Rui should be able to return to the team, both sides are fully played, and then it will be up to see who is better!
