On January 14, Beijing time, the CBA official just announced the punishment results for the conflict between the two sides of the "Liao-Guangdong War" on the 13th, of which Han Dejun was suspended for 7 games and fined 200,000 yuan, while Weems was suspended for 5 games and fined 140,000 yuan, which is also the highest fine issued by the CBA this season. However, compared to Weems can also catch up with the final battle of the second stage, Han Dejun is not so lucky, because Liaoning only has 6 games left in the next (against Fujian, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, Beikong, Ningbo, Tongxi), which means that Han Dejun not only has to miss all the matches in the second stage, but even in the first game of the third stage, he will also be determined to watch from the sidelines. It is true that he is indeed a victim, but Han Dejun's "impulse" really makes himself more than worth the loss.
It is true that Han Dejun's absence is a huge loss for Liaoning, but considering that the next opponents are not top teams, Liaoning baskets can also allow Han to take the opportunity to get plenty of time to recuperate. After all, Han Dejun, who is 34 years old this year, has shown a certain fatigue in the finals last season, and was directly hit by a 36-year-old fire-fighting giant in Guangdong, Jason Thompson, which is indeed a lament. If you want to put in the past liaoning basket that lacks the inside line, the absence of Dahan will be a fatal blow, but in the past two years, the team has ushered in a significant reinforcement in its weakest position, and the current team has Li Xiaoxu, Fu Hao, Zhu Rongzhen and Dawai Moland, which are enough to cope with the vacancy of Dahan's absence.
After Dahan was sent off, Fu Hao, a new signing who joined the team last year, also stepped forward, cut down the career-high 38 points with 12 rebounds, completely dominated the inside line, it can be said that Liao Basket can laugh to the end of the key hero, in addition, the big foreign aid Moland also just took advantage of the opportunity of Dahan's absence, quickly and team to run in, looking for a chemical reaction. After all, he basically served as a substitute for Daehan before, and Zhao Jiwei led the team's second team together, since joining the team in these 9 games, he has averaged only 6.4 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.3 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, and it is true that the defense is the top level of the league (the defensive efficiency is 92.5 in the third league), but on the offensive end, compared with the past two seasons in Shanxi, which averaged about 14 points per game, there is indeed a big difference.
There is no doubt that the goal of Liao Basket this season is still to impact the championship, and Han Dejun's absence is also just enough for the team to test its own internal gold content, if The temporary departure of Daehan can make Fu Hao, Moland and Zhu Rongzhen, who came back later, find a good competitive state, which is good news for the team. If this conflict can further improve the inner strength of Liaoning Basket, it will also greatly increase their chances of winning the championship this season.
As of now, Liaoning Basket is temporarily ranked first in the league with a record of 20 wins and 2 losses, and the next few opponents, in addition to Guangzhou, Beijing Control, Xinjiang, which have a slightly certain degree of challenge, the rest such as Fujian, Ningbo, Tongxi are the perfect opportunity for young players to find confidence, as long as other main players do not appear injury trouble, the team should still be able to stabilize their first position in the league.
