After a month or so of rest, the third phase of the CBA 2021-22 season is about to start, and the current league ranking is very tight, if you want to enter the playoffs or enter the playoffs with a better ranking, then the third stage of the game is crucial.
In the first matchday of the third stage, there was a strong dialogue, the Guangdong men's basketball team faced the Shandong men's basketball team, and CCTV5 will also broadcast the game live. The two sides had a fight in the playoffs last season, although in the end Shandong team was eliminated 0-2, but it also caused a lot of trouble for the Guangdong team, especially the internal line Tao Hanlin, which made the Guangdong team that did not have Yi Jianlian at that time very headache.
Although the Guangdong team welcomed back Yi Jianlian this season, out of protection for him, the UAE League did not play a very good game performance, and the average per game was only 16 +8 data recorded. And the Shandong team's inner core Tao Hanlin ushered in a big outbreak, Averaging 20.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, the big double-double data is the league's local rebounding king, especially Ding Yanyuhang did not find his state, Gao Shiyan was injured in the case, Tao Hanlin supported the team's heavy responsibility very well, after the second stage of the game, Shandong ranked tenth in the league, but this can not let them take it lightly, after all, there are not many wins for the team behind them, if you want to enter the playoffs, the third stage of the game must be played better.
The Guangdong side also struggled in the second stage of the game, once suffered two consecutive defeats, and in the final battle of the second stage, it also lost 101-108 to the Shanghai men's basketball team. So for the Guangdong team, the next game against Shandong must go all out to avoid losing streaks, if the state is the same as the second stage, I am afraid that the team's record ranking will decline!
In terms of personnel, both sides have injuries, and Guangdong's core defender Zhao Rui has been absent for a long time, and there is no news of his return in recent days. On the Shandong side, the highly anticipated Ding Yanyuhang has come to the division with the team, and it is very likely that he will come back in the match against Guangdong team! After Xiaoding returned to the court this season, he has brought surprises and disappointments to the team, playing 10 games to average 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2 assists, having a single game of 34 points performance, but also a single game of 0 points performance, so long has not played a game, coupled with continuous major injuries, the state of instability is also normal, more worrying, can he continue to play like this body? However, I still hope to see Xiaoding comeback in the third stage and play a full season in good health!
