In the last 18 seconds before the final game, Liaoning and Shenzhen team fought to 90 draws, and Guo Allen, who pulled away from the singles, stepped on the tail of 24 seconds of offensive time to break through the emergency stop jumper. If the ball is scored, Liaoning leads. Conversely, Liaoning is likely to leave the final attack to Shenzhen. Guo Allen's board shot did not hit the basket, but at this moment, a green lightning bolt took off and single-handedly made up the ball into the basket. 92-90！ Liaoning led by 2 points, with only 15.1 seconds left in the game, and Liaoning once again had the opportunity to dominate the fate.
It was no one else who scored for the Liaoning men's basketball team, it was no. 7 Zhang Zhenlin, who was the best at aerial work. After scoring the basket, Zhang Zhenlin wrote a fist and roared to encourage himself. And this game, thanks to Zhang Zhenlin's key basket, the Liaoning men's basketball team narrowly defeated the Shenzhen men's basketball team 92-90.
In the game, the second-year young man played 34 minutes despite a near injury, contributing 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. His data is not gorgeous, but at the critical moment, he has shouldered the heaviest burden for Liao Basket. In the last quarter, the Shenzhen team, which was once 9 points behind, fought back with all its strength and continued to narrow the point gap. At this time, Zhang Zhenlin was also trying his best to contribute to Liaoning at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Stealing Salinger, receiving Zhao Jiwei's pass to easily complete the attack, when Guo Allen's offensive end was once blocked and the Liaoning basket feel was not ideal, Zhang Zhenlin used his impact and enthusiasm to share the pressure for Guo Allen.
In the last 2 minutes and 52 seconds before the final game, The Liao basket turned from defense to attack, and Zhang Zhenlin was ambushed at 45 degrees on the left side. The ball was in his hands, and he deceived the opponent who made up the defense with a shooting fake action, and directly dribbled the ball to the basket to kill. Shenzhen team center Zhao Yiming basket to make up for the position, but in the face of this 2.20 meters tall, weight 140 kilograms, so that the height of the strong Han Dejun appeared to be a little birdy according to the big man, Zhang Zhenlin did not brake. Taking off and attacking the basket, Zhang Zhenlin fearlessly wanted to complete the partition buckle on the opponent's head. Although he did not succeed in the end, Zhang Zhenlin still caused the opponent to foul, and this aggression that ignores the size gap is to attack the basket, and also makes people see the courage of a heroic teenager.
It is with this fearless courage and all-out mentality that Zhang Zhenlin was able to complete the key basket at the last moment. Thanks to Zhang Zhenlin's victorious blow, Liao Basket was able to win the game hard after the opponent hit the iron continuously at the last moment.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in Zhang Zhenlin's career that he has contributed to winning the quasi-kill. Zhang Zhenlin, who has entered the CBA since last season, has experienced a staggered game in the 78 games he has played so far, and has also felt the thrilling moment of the difference in winning points between millimeters, but as the main forward of the Liaoning Basket, zhang Zhenlin is still the first time to give a winning blow at the last moment like this.
It wasn't easy for him. To know this match with Shenzhen, Zhang Zhenlin was almost injured in the third quarter. At 9 minutes and 45 seconds, Zhang Zhenlin slipped under his feet while defending the slide, and accidentally encountered a split fork, because it was an instantaneous action, and Zhang Zhenlin fell to the ground after the injury. After a moment's pause, he slowly got up and walked off the field to rest. Fortunately, Zhang Zhenlin was not seriously injured, and then he returned to the game, and he was still alive and well. But such an action can easily lead to a player strain, if it were not for Zhang Zhenlin's young age and good physical fitness, perhaps he would have suffered more serious strains.
For Liao Basket, Zhang Zhenlin is to some extent the person they can't afford to hurt. Playing this season so far, Zhang Zhenlin is the only player in Liaoning who has averaged more than 30 minutes per game. When head coach Yang Ming appropriately untied Han Dejun, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei and other veterans or main players, the young Zhang Zhenlin also began to take on more responsibilities, although he has hardly rested since he entered the CBA, participated in various events such as the CBA, the national team, and the National Games, and is one of the players who have played the most time in the CBA in the past year, but he still does not see fatigue and still conscientiously performs the tasks entrusted to him by the head coach on the field.
In the past two years, the outside world has said that the front line of Liaoning Basket has become stronger, and the emergence of Zhang Zhenlin and Wu Changze, as well as the addition of Fu Hao, have greatly strengthened the front line of Liaoning Basket. But in fact, in addition to Zhang Zhenlin, Wu Changze and Fu Hao are all swinging in the fourth and fifth positions, in other words, they are actually all internal lines, only Zhang Zhenlin is the third and fourth position swings. Therefore, he is the most important link between the inner and outer lines of liaoning baskets. Once Zhang Zhenlin is injured, then the Liao basket forward line is likely to return to the past again, and whether it is Liu Zhixuan or Cong Mingchen and others, they can only play the second and third positions, and it is difficult to fill the vacancy of the third position of the Liaoning basket, and the foreign assistant Ferge who plays a remarkable performance of the point guard is limited by height (1.91 meters) and cannot contribute to the third position.
Therefore, Zhang Zhenlin is very critical to The Liaoning Basket. Only when he is healthy and performs well, liaoning basketball's front line will not become a team weakness as in the past.
Two years ago, when Liao Basket and Guangdong faced each other in the Finals, Zhang Zhenlin, who had not yet joined Liaoning Basket, said: "Because we lack of manpower in the inner line, now Junge (Han Dejun) is very hard, and I hope to start to disperse some pressure for these big brothers next season." Now, Zhang Zhenlin, who is already a second-year student of Liaoning Basket, has obviously brought help to the team not only to share the pressure on the inside line, but also to carry the pressure on the front line. This young man, who Yang Ming called "a very talented player" and who Guo Allen said that he was "very optimistic about him", is taking over the banner in the hands of the big brothers step by step.
