Liaoning Basket ushered in three consecutive defeats after losing to Zhejiang Chouzhou, and the team's record also fell to the third place in the league. At home, the third stage has not been satisfactory since the beginning, and there are all kinds of regrets in each game, which is difficult to let go. In this game against Zhejiang Chouzhou, the team played a wave of 15-2 in the second half of the final quarter, almost achieving a big reversal, but the last moment was a little bit of luck, resulting in the team losing by 1 point.
Yang Ming took the initiative to take responsibility
After the game, Yang Ming took the initiative to take responsibility at the press conference, he said: Everyone's style in the second half of the final quarter is commendable, after the first game against Qingdao, there are changes, but it needs to be extended this time period, how to focus and execution through the whole field is what we have to do; there are also problems of physical fitness, running-in, injury recovery, but no matter what the reason the head coach has the greatest responsibility.
After that, Yang Ming said that the home game is indeed carrying some pressure, and really wants to get good status and results; at the same time, he also believes that the current Liaoning basket is only half a team, Guo Allen and Li Xiaoxu can't play, and the players are racing against time and injury.
In fact, this game against Zhejiang Chouzhou, Yang Ming's guidance is quite good, after all, the opponent Zhejiang is indeed a very good team, in the absence of a major general to lose 1 point is completely acceptable. In addition, Yang Dao's initiative to take responsibility in this game is also commendable, much better than the previous two games to shirk responsibility; we believe that Liaoning Basket can quickly adjust in the next game, play its own style, and start a winning streak.
Zhao Jiwei slashed 24 + 8 to put harsh words
In the three games since the third stage, the best performing player in the team is none other than Zhao Jiwei, who bears a lot of pressure and has a lot of playing time, and is the absolute mainstay of the team. In this game, he played 37 minutes, 9 of 18 shots, cut 24 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, scored, organized and connected in tandem, and performed very well under the high-intensity defense of Zhejiang Chouzhou, almost leading the team to reverse the opponent.
After the game, Zhao Jiwei still slightly blamed himself, he said: After playing Shanghai was equalized by the other side, it was not well controlled, and the key ball was not handled well; playing Zhejiang and the key ball was not grasped well, and as a defender, he had to bear a lot of responsibilities. In fact, Ji Wei does not need to blame himself at all, this kind of desperate three points already has a certain luck component, and it is normal not to be able to vote in.
In addition, Ji Wei put harsh words on social media, he said: Now the biggest enemy is himself, there are not many people on the top of the mountain, I want to go to see. It can be seen that he is not discouraged by three consecutive defeats, but more scrappy, wants to climb the peak, climb to the top to maximize his self-worth, and look forward to Jiwei in the next game to have a more outstanding performance.
Fogg tried his best
Fergus really tried his best against Zhejiang in this game, playing 37 minutes, scoring 33 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in 13 of 27 shots; especially in the second half, slashing 27 points led the team to always maintain a certain point difference with Zhejiang Chouzhou, and frequently responded to opponents in the last quarter, almost helping the team reverse the game.
One thing to understand is that Fogg is not just a scoreless foreign player, he also has a very important role on the defensive end. In this game, he will play the role of both offensive and defensive ends to the extreme, the offensive end uses the strong basket finishing ability, killing ability, throwing and mid-range continuous scoring, and the defensive end also has to defend Wu Qian or foreign aid Green, which has high physical requirements for him, but in the end he still did his job well.
Fergus, who is performing better and better, will become a very important part of the Road to the Championship.
