In the last moment of the game, Hu Mingxuan hit a three-pointer from the outside, Xu Jie won 2+1, and the South China Tigers' continuous pursuit of the whole game also stopped at the moment of whistle. At 95:115, Guangdong Dongguan Dayi team lost to Liaoning in the New Year's Battle, and suffered the third defeat of the second stage.
"Today's game didn't start very well, and the first game didn't start well in this pavilion. I think it may be too simple on the offensive end, always shooting outside, the opportunities are empty, but the shooting is too urgent, too eager to attack the basket, maybe everyone's mood is different," Du said after the game.
After catching up with Guangsha with all its might, then defeating Shanxi and being suppressed miserably, and then fighting with Jilin until the end of the battle to win, guangdong Dongguan Dayi team's recent sluggish competitive status is obvious. In the second stage, the passive reduction of Zhang Hao and Zhang Haojia's two young forces, and then the lack of Zhao Rui and Su Wei's two important internal and external rotations tonight, in terms of overall staffing, the South China Tiger is in an absolute disadvantage.
However, due to multiple factors, the situation of inability to attack reappeared in the first quarter, and the awkward start of 4:21 directly made the game more difficult. "Two consecutive games in this arena to get 10 points to start, in fact, is not the level that this team should be", Du director summed up the whole game when the unfavorable situation was particularly impressed by the unfavorable situation at the beginning, and the inability to shoot and break through also led to the South China Tigers helplessly digging a 18-point pit.
"I think the offensive end is relatively better, but I don't think it's enough. The young players have some bright spots on the field, but the degree and attitude of fighting are still a little weaker." After the big score in the first quarter, the full catch-up mode was passively opened, and the overall mentality of the South China Tigers was relatively stable, relying on the outside feel of the second quarter to recover the 5-point disadvantage. The chase momentum continued until the middle of the third quarter, when Du Runwang's three-point knife from the outside line once brought the game back to suspense.
However, in the case of limited rotation, the phenomenon of insufficient effort in the south China Tigers' back end is also evident with the deepening of the competition. Liaoning team after a suspension to adjust the offensive start again, and this time the South China Tigers finally failed to cope, the three-quarter strike point difference returned to 17 points, coupled with the 6:0 attack wave at the beginning of the last quarter, the suspense of victory and defeat also disappeared.
Looking back at the comparison of the whole field data, the South China Tigers lost the rebounding initiative under the disadvantage of the inner line, and the up to 17 mistakes in the whole game made the game more difficult. The Liaoning team made 8 mistakes in the whole game, only 3 times in the first three quarters, and did not create too many opportunities for the South China Tigers to pursue. "The Liaoning team has a very large thickness of personnel, and the ability to rotate players is also very strong. The double foreign aid is also in place, the inside line, the outside line has a good pitcher, there are two excellent domestic defenders, very mature. Therefore, I also hope that the young players such as Xiao Hu and Xu Jie in this team will learn more in the game and summarize and improve themselves. After the defeat, Du Coach mentioned learning from the opponent for the first time, and the player representative Xu Jie also said that he would benefit from the game, hoping that the team would regain its strength and look forward to the second duel:
"We didn't fight enough in this game, we didn't play as fiercely as our opponents, and we must play for our lives." We and Liaoning have the next game, I hope we can fight desperately against the opponent, this ball also learned a lot from Jiwei and Allen, and I am looking forward to the next showdown with them. ”

Hu Mingxuan scored 19 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Xu Jie contributed 19 points and 4 assists, Weems had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Zhang Mingchi scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, and Du Runwang and Zhou Peng both scored 10 points.
