After 12 days of fighting again, the "second battle" between guangdong and liaoning teams became extremely tragic. On January 13, Beijing time, the 22nd round of the CBA regular season, Liaoning team defeated Guangdong team 102-90. In this high-profile match, Weems, Han Dejun and Hu Mingxuan were all expelled from the game, and the clashes, fouls, and foot injuries were one wave after another. Although it is a regular season game, the intensity of this "Liao-Guangdong War" is no less than that of a finals.
In the first half, the competition between the two sides was still calm, although the confrontation was fierce, but the action was not too big. However, in the third quarter, the field was suddenly changed, and when it reached 9 minutes and 05 seconds, Hu Mingxuan's actions when defending Guo Allen caused some controversy. At that time, Guo Allen tried a three-pointer, but stepped on Hu Mingxuan's foot when he landed, and he could not get up. The referee did not blow the penalty, and the foot-wielding Guo Allen was very dissatisfied, "stepping on the foot", Guo Allen said loudly to the referee. And this round also seems to be doomed to the game will not go on smoothly.
Sure enough, with 5 minutes and 39 seconds left in the third quarter, an even more intense scene appeared. At that time, Guangdong team foreign aid Weems broke through, and Liaoning team center Han Dejun reached out to intercept, but was hit in the face by Weems's right elbow. Because Weems is accelerating the breakthrough to impact the basket, so even a behemoth like Han Dejun, who is 2.15 meters tall and weighs 123 kilograms, can't help Buts from rushing like this, not to mention, Weems elbowed Han Dejun's face, this fight, Han Dejun was directly knocked on the floor, and the landing sound was huge, and a tough guy like Han Dejun was suddenly hit by a straight leg.
The clash also occurred at this moment as the referee instantly blew both sides for fouls and then reviewed the video to decide whether to escalate Weems' fouls. An angry Han Dejun got up and went directly to Weems, and the two sides fought in an instant, with players on both sides, but they still could not stop the conflict in time. Before the referee could look back at the video, he had to rush into the field quickly to stop the clashes. At the same time, players from both sides, even members of the coaching staff, had to rush into the field to pull the rack, and thanks to the fact that most of the players remained calm, the conflict was avoided from escalating. In order to calm Han Dejun's anger, Guangdong coach Du Feng and Liaoning coach Yang Ming also entered the field to persuade that the Liaoning team and the Guangdong team, which have a good relationship with local players in private, have also clashed extremely rarely.
In the end, the referee reviewed the video to expel both the two conflicting protagonists, Han Dejun and Weems, and in an instant, the two teams lost a core player.
But that wasn't the only intense scene between the two sides in the game. In fact, along with the escalation of confrontation between the two sides, some other actions of controversy are also emerging. In addition to Hu Mingxuan's foul of destroying Fergus's quick attack and pulling people, and Weems' elbow to Han Dejun's foul, Hu Mingxuan also blocked Zhao Jiwei's blowing foul after Weems and Han Dejun were expelled, which also made the game full of gunpowder. Hu Mingxuan was even expelled for receiving two fouls. In addition, the game was nearing the end, and Wang Yingkai suffered another foul.
The Liaoning team lost Han Dejun, and the Guangdong team lost two main players, Weems and Hu Mingxuan. With Guo Allen's re-emergence after treatment, the Liaoning team was full of momentum, and the Guangdong team, which had lacked the main defender Zhao Rui (who had missed many games due to injury), lost two major ball-holding launch points, and the offensive system was suddenly disintegrated, and it was difficult to organize the smooth attack before.
In the end, Guangdong was double-killed by Liaoning in the regular season this season. This is obviously the result that the Guangdong team does not want to see, but also to avoid being killed by the Liaoning team twice, the Guangdong team, which lost the Liaoning team by 20 points in the New Year's Day battle, will desperately impact the Liaoning team at the beginning of this second world war. Compared with that game, the state of Yi Jianlian and Weems after the opening has rebounded significantly, but Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei and Han Dejun and others have not been in an ideal state under the defense of the Guangdong team, and the Guangdong team can be described as vengeful. At the same time, the Guangdong team is also trying to avoid being double-killed by the opponent and avoid losing the psychological advantage of facing the Liaoning team in the past. You know, in the final of the National Games last summer, Guangdong team lost to Liaoning team, although it is not the main team of Guangdong team, but it still has an impact on Guangdong team. Coupled with the fiasco of the first meeting of the season to Liaoning, if Guangdong loses to Liaoning again, it will be their first double kill since the 2017-18 regular season, and for the defending champions who have just regained their confidence and form, this is definitely not the scene they want to see.
Because of these factors, the match between the two sides has become extremely intense, even tragic, and far more than any meeting in the past two seasons. In the past two seasons, Guangdong and Liaoning have met twice in a row in the finals, and in the finals of the 2019-20 season, Yi Jianlian was unexpectedly seriously injured by a ruptured Achilles tendon. In last season's Spring Festival Battle, the regular season of Guangdong and Liaoning was equally tragic, Zhao Jiwei was injured unexpectedly, and there were many controversial fouls and defensive actions in the game. However, removing such a particularly unexpected factor as Yi Jianlian's serious injury, only in terms of the game itself, the liao-Cantonese war in this game is far more intense than any game in the past two seasons, and it is extremely rare for a situation like this to be expelled from the main force or treated with the main force injured.
The game has produced so many branches, which is definitely not what anyone wants to see, and it is obviously not what the two teams themselves are willing to see. After all, fans prefer to watch a game that is fierce but not unexpectedly conflicted, and for both sides, victory is important, but it is even more important to be able to win the game without controversy. But at the same time, it also shows the intensity of the confrontation between Guangdong and Liaoning, just imagine, if this is a playoff series, any game may affect the fate of the team, the game may become more tragic.
With Liaoning team double-killEd Guangdong team, Liaoning team, which has lost to Guangdong in the finals of the past two seasons, is also more confident in facing the defending champions. But it also needs to be admitted that this is obviously not the strongest Guangdong team, and how strong their ability to rebound after Zhao Rui's absence has also been proven. Ben is the old enemy, this season's regular season has happened so many episodes, which can not help but make people look forward to liaoning and Guangdong team if they meet again in the playoffs, what will it be like?
