In the 28th round of the CBA regular season, Guangdong Dongguan Dayi team dug a 14-point pit in the first quarter of the sluggish state, and after fully catching up in the final quarter, it was close to single digits, hindered by insufficient time, and finally lost to Shanghai 101:108 to end the second stage.
In terms of data, Guangdong's 5 players scored in double figures. Ledo scored 23 points and 4 rebounds, Zhou Peng contributed 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Yi Jianlian had 15 points and 13 rebounds, Hu Mingxuan had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Ren Junfei had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
"The team is still in a difficult time, although Weems is back, but 5 games have not been played, the players do not feel good. These veteran players have worked very hard, but they are still on the field style, hard work, you can see that they still haven't given up the game after falling behind by more than 20 points, which is the spirit of the team. The opening few clips still played well, and after the transfer, the ability at both ends of the attack and defense was relatively weak, and the continuous mistake defense was not in place, allowing the other side to surpass the score. I think that's the difference between the main players and the young players," Du said after the game.
In the final stage of the second stage, the South China Tigers once again ushered in the top four teams in the standings. According to the team situation, this campaign naturally does not need to be mobilized, and it is extremely important to fight for victory. Coupled with Weems' return to the squad, the team ushered in the debut of double foreign aid, and the overall thickness of the increase undoubtedly made the team more powerful.
It is difficult to have a "no leak" in the overall offensive and defensive deployment, and Franklin uses accurate three-pointers to become the spoiler of the game in the opening stage. Inside, Wang Zhelin and Feng Lai sat in the town, and Franklin led 6 people to score three points, which also caused the South China Tigers to be difficult to attack and defend in the first half.
What is even more fatal is that as the core of the team's offensive organization, Weems has not been in good form in the absence of 5 consecutive games. As a result, the team's tactical system could not be used, coupled with the sluggish outside feel of the whole team, the South China Tigers finally failed to withstand the attack, and fell behind by as many as 20 points at half-time.
"We started a lot behind and it was more difficult to catch up against the strong teams. I felt the spirit of the team, and I will persevere when I am behind, fight until the end, and stick to this spirit and style", talking about the clip of the second half of the full catch-up, Ledo affirmed the team's hard work after the game.
In terms of the first half, in the key data of shooting, Shanghai's overall and three-point shooting rate was above 60%. Compared with its own 26.7% outside sluggish feel, the South China Tigers undoubtedly have a significant improvement at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the second half, and only then can there be a powerful chip to change the situation, and the overall pressure can be seen. It is also under such heavy pressure that the team is too physically exhausted due to its eagerness to catch up, resulting in the failure to take into account both offensive and defensive ends at the same time when it chases to only 13 points in the middle of the third quarter, allowing the opponent to attack again, and still returning after the fierce battle.
The crucial third quarter of the pursuit failed to go further, and in the final quarter of the game, the South China Tigers could only speed up the attack and fight with all their might. However, the gap between the two sides is too large, the time is not abundant, although the South China Tigers played an excellent single quarter of 32:20 with 0 mistakes, it is still difficult to win.
The difficult period of the second phase, which was plagued by personnel disorganization and injury, unfortunately ended in defeat, "The first stage did not have foreign aid, and everyone was very tired in the process, fighting under pressure, and the rotation of outside personnel was very difficult." Several veteran players are fighting, after spelling to go to the national team, there is no training time after isolation. ”
Du First affirmed the efforts of the whole team, expressed deep gratitude to the veterans, and summed up the second stage: "The accumulation of fatigue is getting heavier and heavier, and it may continue to the second stage, everyone does not have a good physical condition, the personnel are becoming more and more short, the old injuries and new diseases have also come out, Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan have been injured, and the UAE, Zhou Peng, and Erfei are also." In fact, this is the beginning of the personnel is not enough, the problems will pile up, the entire thickness of the personnel is relatively weak, but also in the face of the strong team to lose. The people who changed it also did not meet the requirements, hoping that the young players could see their own gaps. Next, try to make the players recover physically, adjust their state through training, and meet the third stage. ”
It is believed that through the rest of the window period, and with the continuous improvement of personnel, the difficulty of the shortage of personnel in South China Tiger will gradually ease, and the spring will inevitably usher in after the severe winter. At the end of the press conference, Du Also thanked Changchun City, Jilin Province, for providing good competition conditions for everyone, thanked all the staff, and sent New Year's wishes to everyone in advance: "I wish everyone a good year of the tiger, a success in their hearts, good health, and smooth work." I hope that in the coming year everyone will 'return with full blood' and everyone will be fine in the new year. ”
