On January 21, Beijing time, the second phase of the CBA continued, and in the afternoon matchup, Beijing Shougang ushered in a confrontation with the Sichuan team. Beijing's last game was completely thrown by Tianjin's three-point rain, ending their three-game winning streak. Sichuan defeated Qingdao and won a wave of two consecutive wins, and the two teams are obviously very different in momentum.
Sichuan faces Beijing, and the biggest problem is how to score. At present, Sichuan's average score per game ranks fourth in the league, it can be said that the overall scoring ability is extremely poor, and Beijing is a steel division that is very good at defending, so in the face of such a copper wall, once the Sichuan attack is not guaranteed, it is estimated that it is difficult to win three consecutive wins.
Today's starting lineup of the two teams is: Beijing team - Jeremy Lin, Liu Xiaoyu, Zhai Xiaochuan, Fan Ziming, Qiu Tian; Sichuan team - Han Shuo, Jing Hanyi, Zhu Songwei, Guo Jinlin, Man li.
Section 1:
Both teams did not go well in the opening attack, several shooting attempts failed to form a score, the opening nearly 2 and a half minutes, relying on the inside to get the first point, the two teams played 2 draws. Today, Qiu Tian and Manly, the two interior players, were very proactive and basically dominated the entire attack of the team's opening.
Then Sichuan's Han Shuo landed on the ground while defending, unfortunately sprained his ankle, and rested on the side of his teammates' support. The overall offensive and defensive speed of the two teams today is not fast, even if there is a chance to defend and counterattack, it is stable and then play after the position is completed. Jeremy Lin found the feel of the outside line, directly hit the three points steadily, and the Beijing team took the lead 11-5. However, with a breakthrough, the Sichuan team successfully chased the point difference to only 2 points. At 5 minutes and 49 seconds, beijing requested a timeout.
The game continued, and the Sichuan team adopted a joint defense strategy, which made the Beijing offensive end somewhat blocked, and the two teams had nearly 2 minutes of time to score, which was actually the rhythm that the Beijing team liked very much. The first quarter of the two teams really played quite dull, and the outside line did not find the feel at all, and every time they were eager to play for 24 seconds before shooting. In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the two teams finally found a feeling outside the line, and finally with Gibson pressing a whistle for three points, Beijing team led Sichuan by one point in the first quarter of 18-17.
Section 2:
At the beginning of the second quarter, Sichuan continued to adopt a joint defense strategy, which allowed Zhu Yanxi to successfully find opportunities for outside projection, and his consecutive three-point shots helped Beijing play a wave of scoring. However, Sichuan side is not to let go, the inside line and the three points have also found a feel, did not let Beijing open the point difference, the score of the two teams came to 30-27. At 7:03, Sichuan requested a timeout.
The game continued, and the Sichuan team directly played a wave of 5-0, shortening the point difference to only 1 point. However, the Beijing team then showed its defensive strength, under Gibson's rapid counterattack, the Beijing team successfully expanded the point difference to 9 points, and this game completely turned into Gibson's own performance show, three points, breakthrough. Assists can do everything, and successfully helped Beijing team build an advantage.
With Zhu Yanxi's three-point shot in the bottom corner, beijing officially expanded the point difference to more than 10 points, and he still hit four three-point shots in a single quarter. In 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the Beijing team was 47-35, and the lead reached 12 points. Back from the game, the Sichuan team directly two three-points also in color, the point difference back to 6 points. At 2:03, Beijing requested a timeout. The offense was fully opened by both teams in the second quarter, especially the three-pointers, one shot more accurate than the other, in stark contrast to the first quarter.
Gibson once again completed the whistle hit, and Beijing team 53-44, maintaining a nine-point lead. In this quarter, he and Zhu Yanxi became the most powerful firepower on the offensive end of the team, and the two scored a total of 33 points in the first half of the team, which completely bankrupted the joint defense strategy of the Sichuan team.
Section 3:
At the beginning of the second half, Sichuan's attack was completely stagnant, and in 5 minutes, just relying on Manley to get 2 points, the point difference between the two teams began to expand. The intensity of the physical confrontation between the two teams has since increased, but Sichuan has not found the state of attack, and Beijing has seen it has widened the point difference to nearly 20 points.
After taking the lead, the Beijing team still made a lot of mistakes, and it was also a little too relaxed, but the Sichuan team did not find an opportunity to shorten the point difference. In the end of the third quarter, Beijing was 73-56, 17 points ahead of Sichuan. Today, Sichuan's only foreign aid Manley can be said to be useless, completely failing to bear the burden of the team's attack, and in the confrontation with Qiu Tian, he did not show any advantages at all, and was a bit passive and sloppy.
Section 4:
Shortly after the start of the final quarter, the Beijing team directly extended the point difference to 20 points. Qiu Tian is still very active on the inside today, and Yannis also gave him playing time, hoping that the young player can grow. The Sichuan team still did not choose to give up in the last quarter, and their occasional outside three-pointers still let the score hover around 20 points.
In the end, Beijing 98-69 successfully defeated the Sichuan team.
Gibson played more and more smoothly, and Jeremy Lin was afraid that his position would be difficult to protect
After the start of the second stage of the game, it is not difficult to find that in terms of the use of Gibson and Jeremy Lin, Yannis is obviously more inclined to Gibson, because he can always use his personal scoring strength to help the team play the desired effect, and is a very good player.
In contrast, Jeremy Lin's overall state is obviously not as good as before, and in terms of physical confrontation and projection, it has not returned to his best state, which makes Yannis strictly control the use of Jeremy Lin's playing time, many times Jeremy Lin can only sit on the bench, today's game he is in the end there is no suspense, only to be replaced by Yannis again.
Once beijing's third foreign aid is in place, I am afraid that Jeremy Lin's playing time may be reduced again.
