Although they struggled to catch up in the last quarter, the Beijing men's basketball team still lost to the Guangsha men's basketball team 88-99, suffering two consecutive defeats. Gibson, who came off the bench, tried his best, and in the 32 minutes of playing time, he shot 5 of 7 from three-point range, 9 free throws, shot down 36 points, and contributed 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, trying to fill the big hole that the team had dug before.
When the game is still 8 minutes and 40 seconds left, after Gibson fouled Hu Jinqiu, the referee went to the record station to watch the video replay, after that, the referee made a foul action, when this action was made, I believe that all the fans of the Beijing men's basketball team giggled in their hearts and pinched a handful of sweat, after all, if it were not for Gibson's efforts to fill the pit, the "Royal Forest Army" would not have been able to chase the nearly 20-point difference to single digits. Therefore, Gibson, who has already been convicted of a foul, if he is blown another foul and sent off, the game can be declared over early. Fortunately, the referee changed his sentence after discussion, and Gibson was just an ordinary foul, avoiding the fate of being punished.
At present, the foreign aid situation of the Beijing men's basketball team, in addition to Gibson, there is Also Jeremy Lin and Brown, who is recovering from training in Shanghai, Brown cannot rush to Changchun in the short term to meet the whole team, and Jeremy Lin has long ceased to be the style of the "Lin Crazy" in the past because of injury and age, and the Beijing men's basketball team will find it back, focusing on Jeremy Lin's tandem and defense.
Last season, the Beijing men's basketball team originally hoped to find "Mr. 75 points" Joseph Yang to match Jeremy Lin, but the yin and yang were wrong, they could only find Gibson to replace, and did not wait for Jeremy Lin.
When Gibson first played in Guangsha and Qingdao, he had already shown a good scoring ability, and was even ridiculed as a "Gib God", but Gibson's weaknesses were also more obvious, one was subject to height, facing tall defenders, he was easy to be targeted by opponents; secondly, Gibson sometimes did not make reasonable choices when attacking, which was inconsistent with the concept of Yannis who focused on teamwork. So last season, Gibson was also questioned.
But in the end, Gibson returned to the Beijing men's basketball team again this season, which shows that his ability has been recognized by Yannis and the club's senior management, after all, in today's Beijing men's basketball team, Gibson is the biggest variable in the offensive end, especially in the case that Jeremy Lin no longer has the ability to continue to score, Gibson's firepower is particularly important for the Beijing men's basketball team, not to mention that the opponent of this game is the Guangsha men's basketball team that only scored two points in the first confrontation.
The defender line of the Guangsha men's basketball team not only has the impactful Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, but Zhu Junlong can also suppress Jeremy Lin with his height and physical advantages when defending. So from the beginning of the game, Wang Bo first sent young players to allow to consume Jeremy Lin, and then when Sun Minghui defended, he constantly confronted Jeremy Lin, including two successful balls from Jeremy Lin's hands. In the second half of the second stage, Jeremy Lin was even sentenced to a foul because he could not keep up with Sun Minghui and directly pulled people.
When there were 8 minutes and 38 seconds left in the third quarter, after Jeremy Lin was once again cut off by Sun Minghui, Yannis finally couldn't help it, he waved a big hand to replace Jeremy Lin with Gibson, because the Greek little bald head was very clear, and then played like a boiled frog in warm water, from nearly 20 points behind, to 30 points, until it completely entered the garbage time.
Gibson lived up to expectations, and after a slight adjustment, he began to find the feel, scoring three points at the top of the arc at the top of the arc at 3 minutes and 29 seconds in the quarter, and the famous basketball commentator Su Qun said: "Gibson is the only hope for Shougang at present. With 38 seconds left in the quarter, Gibson dribbled the ball in succession, causing Feng Xin to lose his center of gravity and throw the ball high after physical contact, completing a 2+1, and single-handedly leading the team to a 10-2 mini-climax.
The fourth quarter was completely Gibson's personal performance time, he first scored on the layup, chased the difference to 10 points, then soared to three points, the difference reached single digits, and after the ball was hit, even Yannis was furious! Gibson continued to perform: two free throws, a basket in the air, and the point difference came to only 7 points.
Even when defending, it is often Gibson who appears under the basket for the first time, and several times in the last quarter, Gibson is Hu Jinqiu, who is much higher than himself.
Unfortunately, Gibson's teammates are really not very powerful, he passed to Zhai Xiaochuan, who was unguarded, but Xiaochuan's three-point iron pop-up, Gibson can only do it alone. At the last moment, Gibson was still trying, he actually jumped high and dialed the ball in from Hu Jinqiu's head, and also got the opportunity to take a penalty, which was quite sad.
It is worth mentioning that Jeremy Lin never played again after being replaced in the third quarter, and did not score a single point in the whole game, setting a new CBA career scoring low! There were also 5 mistakes. Coupled with the fact that he only scored two points in the last confrontation with the Guangsha men's basketball team, it can be said that Jeremy Lin's weakness was pinched to death by his opponent.
In addition, in the whole game, the Beijing men's basketball team started 5 people Jeremy Lin, Qiu Tian, Zhai Xiaochuan, Fan Ziming, Fang Shuo, the score added up to only 30 points, not as much as Gibson alone! None of the players who could score scored scored in double figures except Gibson. It can be said that the attack of the "Royal Forest Army" has already had serious problems.
After the introduction of Brown, some media believe that Gibson's future in the Beijing men's basketball team is somewhat precarious, but through this game, it can be seen that Gibson has consolidated his position in the team. However, Jeremy Lin needs to pay attention, if this downturn continues, until Brown joins, the player who is loved by Chinese fans may not be able to get a chance to play most of the time.
