In the just-concluded 19th round of the CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Shanxi 111:96, ending the opponent's seven-game winning streak. It is worth mentioning that the 7 consecutive wins are also the longest consecutive wins that the league is currently continuing, and Guangdong can be described as a well-deserved winner of the streak. The watershed of the game mainly occurred in the fourth quarter, when Guangdong played a 29:12 attack wave in a single quarter to lock in the game.
In a regular season round eight days ago, the two teams also met. At that time, Shanxi defeated Guangdong 125:99, allowing the latter to taste a wave of two consecutive defeats. Today the two teams met again, and Guangdong also let Shanxi experience the taste of losing, which can be described as a successful revenge.
The last verse shows a magical scene
There was also a rather magical scene in the last quarter of the game: in the last 5 minutes, three players in shanxi were sent off in succession, namely Xing Zhiqiang, Zhang Ning and Yan Pengfei, all of whom were sent off for accumulating 6 fouls. It can be seen how much pressure the Guangdong front has put on Shanxi in this game. In the number of free throws, it can also be seen that Guangdong has received a total of 31 free throws, while Shanxi has only 23 times, of which Yi Jianlian, Ren Junfei and Weems have combined to get 22 free throws, which is almost equal to the free throws of the entire Shanxi team.
At this time, the game has basically entered garbage time, several main players have been sent off, so that head coach Yang Xuezeng can only send young players such as Li Zhanglin. After the historical scoring king of CUBA entered the league, he was obviously a little uncomfortable, and made many mistakes when facing Yi Jianlian and Ren Junfei, and 2 shots were also biased.
The Guangdong team still relies on Yi Jianlian
The biggest contributor to Guangdong's victory in this game is Yi Jianlian. After entering the second stage, the UAE has staged a good play of a single-rider savior many times, and this time is the same. He played 26 minutes and effectively recorded a super-double double-double with 23 points and 20 rebounds on 7-of-13, with a plus-minus of the second-highest +15 on the team.
Especially on the defensive end, the UAE League grabbed 14 rebounds in the backcourt, helping the team to defend the inside line and helping to counter-attack the attack. During the game, Yi Jianlian also contributed a very wonderful steal and fast attack dunk. At that time, the player he was defending received a pass from Zhou Zhandong, and the UAE League was very familiar with the old teammate, judging the passing line at a glance, directly stealing the ball, and then dribbling the ball to the basket with both hands dunked. This wave of consecutive championship operations made the players on the Bench in Guangdong all stand up to cheer for the big brother, and the atmosphere was not lively.
The attack regained its form, and Guangdong gradually got better
The key point of this victory is that Guangdong finally played an offensive climax, and they played 18:2 at one point in the fourth quarter, directly taking the game away. The relatively balanced strength of the offensive and defensive ends is an important embodiment of Guangdong's hard power, and due to the successive absence of personnel and the lack of smooth team cooperation, they have not played on the offensive end for a long time. This game undoubtedly shows the recovery of Guangdong on the offensive end.
In this match, 10 Guangdong players played, 6 of whom scored in double figures. Weems scored a team-high 24 points, and in addition to the UAE League, Ren Junfei, Hu Mingxuan, Du Runwang and Zhou Peng also scored more than 10 points, which can be described as a multi-point blossom. In the absence of Zhao Rui, Guangdong can gnaw the hard bones of successive victories over strong teams, Shanxi, which more or less proves that the team's state is getting better little by little.
