In the 19th round of the CBA regular season, Guangdong Dongguan Dayi team broke the deadlock with a small climax of 25:2 in the last quarter after three quarters of battle, and finally won two consecutive victories with 111:96 revenge for Shanxi.
In terms of data, Guangdong's 6 players scored in double figures. Weems scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, THE UAE achieved 23 points, 20 rebounds and a large double-double, Ren Junfei contributed 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Du Runwang and Hu Mingxuan both scored 12 points, and Zhou Peng scored 11 points and 4 rebounds.
"This season we have seen that the Shanxi team is getting better and better, and several statistics are at the top of the league, especially the three-point shooting rate, the number of shots, the number of rebounds in the frontcourt, and the very good competitive state at the beginning of the second stage. After the double foreign aid was in place, it improved a lot of combat effectiveness, so today was a lot of pressure for us," said Du after the game.
At the beginning of the second stage, affected by the shortage of personnel, it was difficult for the South China Tigers to maintain a stable competitive state, and the rhythm of training instead of racing continued. Based on the background of winning the first meeting, the Shanxi team is also full of confidence in this battle. The three members of the whole team fought until they left the court, and they fought hard for each ball, and the opponent's determination to "double kill" also made the game extra glue.
The difficult trend of the game was also staged as expected, and the Shanxi team resisted the various attacks of the South China Tigers under the leadership of Feld in the first quarter to seize the start as desired. Although the South China Tigers took the initiative in rebounding under the UAE League, the team failed to achieve a significant advantage under the influence of 8 mistakes in the second quarter.
Trailing into the second half, the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides escalated again, and the momentum of the Shanxi team once revived in the middle of the third quarter. In the face of the backward situation, the South China Tigers are still playing steadily, with Zhou Peng as the main attack to maintain multi-point output has been consuming opponents, and after three quarters of battle, they finally found the opportunity to break through the deadlock.
"The Shanxi team has been in very good shape throughout the season, but today we have been actively starting from every rebound, every scramble, and every defense to play our rhythm." As Hu Mingxuan said after the game, the team has always maintained a focus on every detail, which has a positive effect on the victory of the game. After three quarters of high-intensity fighting, the physical fitness of the Shanxi team was finally greatly affected, and the tired offensive and defensive rhythm of running also allowed the South China Tigers to send a wave of 25:2 offensive climax to end the game, in which the UAE League cut 8 points and 9 rebounds in a single quarter and once again became the arrow figure to win.
"There's a metric where our young turnovers are number one in the league, but I still play for them. You can see that the ability to read the game before the young players on the field is still very lacking, some people have not improved their state on the defensive end after several seasons", compared to the victory, Du coaching still pays more attention to the growth of young people on the field, "Although the team has won three championships, it is the joint efforts of everyone, in fact, they still have a big gap, and they still need to work hard to learn and improve", Du coached the young people again after the game to send hopes.
Hu Mingxuan, the player's representative, also said: "Still learn more from the big brother of the team, the rebounding rush of the brother, the defense of Pengge, the whole strategy of the flying brother, driving our young to be more proactive to help the team, and finally win the game, so the team is getting better and better." ”
Victory is important, and returning to the winning streak also boosts the morale of the team. But looking ahead, the Challenge of the South China Tigers has only just begun. Next, it will fight with Tongxi and Jilin, and only closely follow the two strong enemies of Guangsha and Liaoning, leaving insufficient time for the South China Tiger to adjust. The next team will undoubtedly need to emerge multiple scoring points like this campaign and maintain its due defensive intensity in order to win consecutive victories.
