In the second stage of the CBA regular season, the only loss of the Shanghai Sharks men's basketball team in the first seven games was a 100-117 loss to Shandong a week ago. In that game, which lost 17 points, the performance of the Sharks team was very depressed.
Tonight again met the Shandong team, the sharks not only succeeded in revenge, but also returned the opponent a 125:97; and the first quarter broke the Shandong team, early "clocked in and left work".
In order to play this revenge battle with Shandong, Sharks head coach Li Chunjiang did not put the main center Wang Zhelin into the starting lineup in the match against Ningbo on Sunday, only giving him more than 6 minutes of playing time. Let Wang Zhelin have a good rest, that is, specifically to deal with Shandong team center Tao Hanlin. In the first meeting between the two teams, Tao Hanlin had a large double-double with 22 points and 20 rebounds, which became the key to Shandong's victory.
The Sharks also made tactical adjustments in this game. Nimble little guard Rohan Chen started and improved the overall speed of the lineup, and at the beginning of the game, the Sharks actively wrapped up Shandong's small foreign assistant Hudson to limit his shooting and passing.
Although Shandong started with an 11-7 lead, the Sharks' personnel and tactical arrangements gradually showed their power. The Shandong side attacked dumb and made mistakes; on the Shark side, Wang Zhelin, who was physically energetic, repeatedly scored on the inside line, and Liu Zheng, who had performed well in the last two games, played well at both ends of the attack and defense. The Big Sharks relied on a 24-0 scoring climax of more than 5 minutes in the middle of the first quarter to beat Shandong to a crush.
The Sharks' wave of consecutive scoring extended to 34-1 at the end of the first quarter, with a staggering 41 points in a single quarter, and the lead extended to 29 points. It was an extremely rare score for two evenly matched teams.
In the second quarter, the strength of the big shark is still the same. The big foreign player VonLe in the second lineup played well, with a strong attack under the basket and a crosshair for the middle and long distance shots. Counting the first quarter, the sharks gave Shandong a 41:3 "super climax" in a total of 11 minutes, and the suspense of the game was completely ended before the half game was over.
After the entire first half of the game, Shandong did not score more than 30 points, and the Sharks led the opponent by 38 points at 67:29.
In the second half, the Shandong team, which was behind by a large score, had no intention of fighting. However, the sharks, who are eager for revenge, are still very serious, do not relax, and continue to expand the advantage of the score. At one point, the gap between the two teams was widened to around 50 points, and the Sharks entered the final fourth quarter with a 41-point lead. In the fourth quarter, the big sharks finished "routinely", allowing the Shandong team to narrow the point difference to within 30 points.
The Sharks' highest scorer of the game was big forward Vonle, who scored 30 points, 14 rebounds and six assists. Wang Zhelin has 23 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. Liu Zheng also scored 23 points on four of three-pointers, in addition to contributing to the team's highest 4 steals. Also in double figure was Luo Hanchen, who scored 14 points.
