On the first day of 2022, the CBA League presented a focus battle, and the defending champion Guangdong men's basketball team launched a strong dialogue with the standings leader Liao Basket. This game was hailed by the outside world as an early finals, the result of the game showed a one-sided trend, Liaoning men's basketball team finally won 115-95 guangdong by 20 points, with three consecutive wins to leave the game.
After the game, Liao Basket coach Yang Ming reviewed the game, bluntly saying that this is not the real level of the Guangdong team, the reason why the Liaoning Basket was able to win this game was mainly to successfully suppress the defensive intensity and counterattack speed of the Guangdong team, and secondly, the defense of the Liaoning Basket was quite in place, the rebound was 43 to 7, and its own mistakes were less than half of Guangdong.
Judging from the performance of the soul figures of both sides in this game, Liao Basket is eligible to take away the game. Guo Allen had 22 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Zhang Zhenlin 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Fergus 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 steals, Fu Hao 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Zhao Jiwei 16 points and 8 assists. Although Guangdong has 6 people scoring in double figures, it is not efficient, and the three-point shooting rate is only 34%.
In particular, the performance of the team's first brother Yi Jianlian was greatly disappointed, starting 20 minutes, 6 shots 0, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, with 3 points on the free throws, grabbed 5 rebounds and sent 1 block, plus or minus the second lowest -22 in the game. Single-game scoring set a career-low record.
Guangdong team head coach Du Feng also congratulated Liao Basket on its New Year opening after the game, and frankly said that Liao Basket's lineup is strong, the personnel is neat, there is thickness, the rotation is strong, foreign aid is in place, the pitcher is also there, and there are two of the best defenders in China. Seeing Liaoning (lineup), Du Feng said that "all coaches will drool".
But in the face of the big victory, especially under Du Feng's compliments, anyone can be complacent, but Yang Ming can't. Yang Ming soberly saw that this Guangdong team "from the whole game, it is not a normal level." Because we have more national teams in our two teams, after coming back, the state, physical condition, including the situation of foreign aid are all adjusting, do not be too optimistic, the real game is in the playoffs."
It was rare for Yang Ming to have such an understanding and was not carried away by the victory. As the biggest favorite team to win the championship this season, the manager can keep such a clear mind, which is the biggest blessing of Liaoning Basket.
