In a game that has been strategically abandoned, Beikong upset Guangdong. North Control's white center Haas became one of the team's key contributors.
The short board of the Guangdong team is on the inside line, and there is only one internal line in the starting lineup. Beijing Point starters are Wang Shaojie and Sun Tonglin, two interior players, Guangdong with No. 3 Zhou Peng in defense cameo forward, defending Wang Shaojie.
Although the snow hid Todorovich, Marbury had another tower, Isaac Haas. Haas's height of 2 meters 18 makes Guangdong's defense very difficult. Having to use a pinch attack on Haas opened up space on the outside.
Yi Jianlian has height, but physical strength is a problem. Ren Junfei's inner line size is insufficient, and Du Runwang is a spatial inner line, and the strength is at a loss. In this game, in front of Haas, Guangdong's internal weaknesses were exposed and targeted by Marbury.
When Haas first came to Beijing, due to the rhythm of the whole team, it was considered by many people to be a parallel cargo. After Todorovic joined, Haas's playing time has plummeted, and he has only started twice this year. In the last Beijing derby with Shougang, Haas even sat on the bench for 48 minutes.
In this game, Haas brought great help to North Control, especially his height, guarding the inside line, making the Guangdong position attack very uncomfortable. It is also Haas's backcourt rebounding protection that makes Beikong have 10 more rebounds than Guangdong.
Haas played only 17 minutes and contributed 11 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, which was extremely efficient. It was also his play that saved the precarious North Control in the playoffs.
Haas has played in 26 games this season, averaging 21.4 minutes per game and contributing 12.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 blocks. Haas's 12.6 points were earned with just 7.5 shots per game, shooting 61 percent from two-point range.
Although Haas's movement speed is not very fast, and the low offensive means are not abundant. But with his height advantage, he has a high finishing efficiency and has become a solid barrier in defense.
North Control's positioning of Haas is the third foreign aid, as a role player, Haas has fully played his own value. Haas is not a parallel cargo, but a good and inexpensive internal external aid.
