On March 1, Beijing time, the third phase of the CBA officially began, in a focus battle that ended not long ago, the defending champion Guangdong Hongyuan won the fourth quarter through the competition, and finally defeated Shandong 127-101 and achieved the opening of the third stage. In fact, from the moment the game ended in the first half, there was basically no suspense, and Hongyuan showed a level of combat effectiveness beyond Shandong, and the overall state was impressive. What is even more rare is that although Hongyuan won this game, except for Xu Jie, Du Feng did not let any player play for more than 25 minutes, and in addition to Zhao Jinyang, who played for 1 minute, the other players on the court scored, and a total of eight players on the team scored in double figures. The UAE league scored 17 points and 14 rebounds, Weems 15 points and 10 assists, Zhou Peng 15 points, Hu Mingxuan 10 points, Du Runwang 13 points and 5 rebounds, Ledo 17 points and 6 assists, Xu Jie 17 points, Ren Junfei 14 points.
In the second stage, Hongyuan suffered many consecutive defeats due to injury and personnel fatigue, and the ranking fell to the fifth place in the league, setting a new low after three consecutive championships. Many fans believe that from the perspective of Hongyuan's state, the defending title this season is no longer a play. It turns out that Guangdong Hongyuan, which has won eleven CBA championships, has a foundation that no CBA team can match. After resting for more than a month, the Hongyuan team members finally returned with blood, each team member was full of endless energy, plus Du Feng personally grasped the training, after the quality of Hongyuan's training came up, the overall performance was still guaranteed! In this game, Hongyuan played the signature offensive and defensive performance of the three consecutive championships. The offensive team played the team spirit of the Upanishads, eight people scored in double figures, and the players on the court basically scored. The defensive end is even more guaranteed by sufficient physical strength, and various hongyuan-style signs are scrambled and pressed, which completely collapses the Shandong men's basketball team. It can be said that this game Hongyuan finally played the normal performance of the past!
Here Xiaobian would like to highlight Xu Jie. Xu Jie almost played more than 28 minutes in this game, and with the highest playing time in the team, he still maintained extremely high efficiency, hitting 6 goals in 7 shots and only conceding a three-pointer. In the second stage, Zhao Rui's absence can be described as Sai Weng's loss of horse and knowledge, Zhao Rui can not play and thus completely inspire Xu Jie, by digesting a large number of ball rights, Xu Jie rose the ball fast. In this game, Xu Jie showed his rare emergency stop jump shot in the past, and he can not only solve the problem with the signature throw in front of the tall, but also use the high parabola mid-range jump shot to end the score, which is indeed a great improvement! And while liberating the individual attack, Xu Jie also sent 4 assists to ensure the smooth operation of the team.
Behind the eight-person doubles is the credit of the eldest brother Yi Jianlian and foreign aid Weems. The UAE has done its homework on both offensive and defensive ends, especially the defensive end, once again showing its dominance at its peak, grabbing 14 rebounds in only 25 minutes, and also imposing strong restrictions on Shandong's inner line. As for the foreign aid Weems, although his offensive state is still average, replacing Zhao Rui as the core ball carrier of the team and sending 10 assists to rank first in the team can see the importance of Du Feng to him. And in the game, Weems repeatedly sent the uae-style air-connected dunk, and he still contributed to the grand victory!
