In the 22nd round of the CBA regular season, Xinjiang completely suppressed Zhejiang in the first three quarters, encountered an opponent reversal in the fourth quarter, and was beaten 15-39 in the single quarter, and finally lost the game 91-98.
This game is one of the few games in Xinjiang this season where the xinjiang team can play against a strong team and suppress the opponent at the beginning. In the middle of the third quarter, Xinjiang once led Zhejiang by more than 20 points, and they entered the final quarter with a 17-point advantage. Just when almost everyone thought that Xinjiang could win this battle, the field suddenly changed, and the backward Zhejiang team suddenly made a force, shot inside and outside, and finally surpassed the score in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter.
Why did Xinjiang suddenly collapse in the final quarter, allowing Zhejiang to score 39-15? To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of Adi Jiang dispatching troops.
In the fourth quarter, Adi Jiang let the big foreign aid Mortree rest for too long. During the time that Moretree was on the field, the Zhejiang team frantically chased points, and Adi Jiang waited until the last 5 minutes to let Moldry re-dress, but it was too late, and the Zhejiang team, which had already started, could no longer suppress it.
Mortree didn't play for a long time, his hands were cold, and he kept making mistakes. In fact, 31-year-old Mortree, who is at the peak of his physical fitness, why does Adi Jiang only let him play for 32 minutes? Zhejiang's big foreign aid Rakosevic played for 42 minutes, and the final showdown was Rakosevic's back-back layup after losing his balance to make a 2+1, and a gliding dunk sounded the horn of Zhejiang's counterattack.
In addition to the use of foreign aid, Qi Lin's inaction in the last quarter was the key to the Xinjiang team's failure to maintain its advantage. Qi Lin played the entire fourth quarter, and the statistics were all hung up to zero, not even a single foul. Throughout the game, Qi Lin played 46 minutes and had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, but the crucial fourth quarter did not contribute.
Adi Jiang summed up after the game: "Some players in some positions have become invisible people at key moments. Although he did not name names, Qi Lin, whose face was cleaner than his face in the fourth section, could not be blamed. Since some players have become invisible people at key moments, why didn't Adi Jiang replace him?
Although it is an unexpected surprise that the Xinjiang team, which is not as strong as Zhejiang, can suppress the opponent in the first three quarters, it is a pity that Adi Jiang gave up the victory to the opponent. Xinjiang is currently ranked 14th in the league, and it is certainly not an easy task to enter the playoffs.
