On January 1, 2022, Beijing time, the 17th round of the 2021-22 CBA League regular season, Liaoning and Guangdong presented a unique New Year's war, and finally Liaoning defeated the old opponent 115-95. Zhao Jiwei, who came off the bench, played 22 minutes and 47 seconds, and contributed 16 points and 8 assists efficiently.
At the beginning of the game, the scene was far less intense than we expected, the opening stage, both sides were mainly tentative, and they did not find the feel, 2 minutes passed, and both teams only scored 2 points each. Liaoning took the lead in upsetting the balance on the court, and Fergus and Zhang Zhenlin hit three consecutive three-pointers to help Liaoning open the score and stop Guangdong. The two sides returned to the field, just when Guangdong wanted to turn over, Guo Allen gave them a heavier blow, 12-2, Liaoning quickly established a double-digit lead!
The starting lineup achieved an overwhelming advantage, providing ample room for the rotation. In the second half of the first quarter, Zhao Jiwei came on as a substitute, and he immediately took over the offensive banner from Guo Allen and Fogg. There were more than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, And Zhao Jiwei quickly went to the basket and scored 2 points with a difficult inter-marching board. Zhao Jiwei's fiery feel seems to indicate that Liaoning's game today will be smooth, the last attack of the first quarter he hit the three points, the score on the court came to 26-6, if you do not see it with your own eyes, I am afraid it is difficult for you to believe that this is the point difference presented by the opening of the Liaoning-Guangdong competition.
But after all, Guangdong is the eleventh champion, and they can't just play one section to disarm their opponents. In the second quarter, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie gradually found their touch, and they were also approaching the field to score. For Liaoning, the real critical moment of this game appeared in the middle of the third quarter, and Guo Allen angrily rebuked Wu Changze, who did not make up for the position in time, in a return defense, and Liaoning was also confused. Guangdong took advantage of the situation to play a point-chasing climax, once narrowing the point difference on the field to 9 points, and Yang Ming had to call out a timeout to adjust.
Guo Allen is impatient, Ferge has been on the field for a long time, who can stand up in times of crisis? Zhao Jiwei gave the answer. The suspension ended, and Yang Ming let Guo Allen rest off the field. At the moment of attacking the stronghold, Zhao Jiwei used a personal attack that was not usually common to solve the problem for Liaoning. First of all, in a position attack, Zhao Jiwei suddenly accelerated into the inner line, and could have distributed the ball to the teammates who were ambushed outside the three-point line, but he saw that the Guangdong supplementary defense did not keep up in time, and directly came to an empty small lever and hit the basket.
Looking back, Guangdong defender Xu Jie, who has similar attributes to Zhao Jiwei, is not willing to show weakness, he seized the loophole of poor communication between Guangdong's outside defense and shot a three-point shot. "Shoot the horse first, catch the thief first catch the king", Zhao Jiwei "fight is the elite", came to the offensive side, facing Xu Jie, who felt hot at the offensive end, Zhao Jiwei signaled his teammates to pull away, directly came to "eat alone", with the advantage of strength confrontation, the back body advanced to the right distance, a shaking turn over jump shot won 2 points. This time, the extremely technical content of one dozen and one success, Zhao Jiwei has the meaning of "killing people and cursed hearts".
For a long time, there has been a theory that Zhao Jiwei is more suitable for abusing vegetables, and the hard battle depends on Guo Allen. Today, Zhao Jiwei gave a counterattack with on-field action. In people's past impressions, Zhao Jiwei is more inclined to the role of the commander of the backcourt, his main task is to dribble the organization, the field attack is more clear, any problem that needs to rely on personal ability to solve, Guo Allen is a better choice. This stereotype clearly underestimates Zhao Jiwei's offensive ability, in fact, as early as the first stage when Guo Allen could not appear, Zhao Jiwei often made cameo appearances as Liaoning's top scorer, and he has shown the ability to fight alone more than once.
A dozen Guangdong were dumbfounded, and it was also the inner demon that plagued Zhao Jiwei in recent years. When the first leg of the regular season was against Guangdong last season, Liaoning lost to the opponent 115-118, Zhao Jiwei played 20 minutes and handed over 0 points; in the second leg of the regular season, Zhao Jiwei felt cold, 11 shots outside the three-point line, dragging down the team's offensive efficiency; in the three rounds of the finals, Zhao Jiwei scored a total of 16 points, 14 shots outside the three-point line only hit 2 goals, and in the last two games, he played 41 minutes and 44 minutes respectively, and failed to play his due level In the men's basketball final of the National Games earlier this year, Liaoning defeated Guangdong to complete the defense of the title, and Zhao Jiwei only scored 4 points in the whole game, and the sense of existence is still not strong.
Tonight, Zhao Jiwei finally pierced the resentment and unwillingness in his heart with a sharp performance, and he contributed 16 points and 8 assists after only playing 22 minutes. Not only is the data efficient, but what makes Liaoning even more angry is that he has delivered wonderful assists more than once.
In the third quarter, he threw the ball near the basket just after halftime, and Zhang Zhenlin jumped high in the air relay to complete the two-handed dunk, and the breath penetrated Changhong! Shortly after the last quarter began, Zhao Jiwei staged the mysterious no look pass in succession, which was amazing! Liaoning killed the suspense of the game in a series of pleasing offensive combinations, winning the much-anticipated Liao-Yue Battle.
Who also said that Zhao Jiwei could not play the high-end round?
