After a 109-80 victory over the North Control men's basketball team, the Guangdong men's basketball team did not fall twice in front of the same opponent, and also swept away the haze of the previous 5-3 losses, but in terms of performance on the court, there is still a certain gap between the Guangdong men's basketball team and expectations.
The last time the two teams met, the Guangdong men's basketball team was upset and lost to the North Control men's basketball team, so someone joked: "Marbury has been mixed in the CBA for so many years, and actually found that only Du Feng is his friend." Of course, this is just a joke, but combined with the situation that the Guangdong men's basketball team lost to the Guangzhou men's basketball team last time, the "eleventh champion" in this battle can not afford to lose anyway.
This is also why, when the fourth quarter began to Guangdong men's basketball single quarter 6-12 behind, Du Feng also called a timeout to adjust, although it is not clear what he said to the players, but look at his look, if you do not know the score, I am afraid that people still think that the backward side is the Guangdong men's basketball team. At that time, the Guangdong men's basketball team had already led by nearly 30 points, and the overall situation had been decided.
No wonder Du Feng is so anxious, in the first stage of the regular season, the Guangdong men's basketball team can still maintain the situation of Liaoning and Guangdong competing with the Liaoning men's basketball team, but since the start of the second stage, the state of the Guangdong men's basketball team has begun to take a sharp turn, until now let alone squeeze into the top four, even whether it can get the fifth place depends on the face of others.
Part of the reason why the Guangdong men's basketball team is facing the current situation is that the national players on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team after playing the World Preliminary Round, the state adjustment is not good enough, on the other hand, the Guangdong men's basketball team suffered a serious wave of injuries: Zhao Rui, Zhang Hao, Zhang Haojia have been absent for a long time, Hu Mingxuan has been affected by skin diseases, Weems has found a feeling after returning, but because of conflicts with Han Dejun was banned. New signing Ledo returned to his original state after his debut was eye-catching, he is a good foreign aid, but there is still a gap in grade from Marzanne Brooks.
At the beginning of the third stage, Zhao Rui returned, but it will take time for him to return to the old standards, Tang Jie can finally represent the Guangdong men's basketball team after a season with the team, but the game and training are completely different things, "Tang Shen" also needs time to complete the run-in with the team and fully understand Du Feng's tactics. Because of this, the Guangdong men's basketball team will be in the fourth quarter of the overall situation has been timed, still put Zhao Rui on the field, is to hope that through the game let him slowly find the feeling of the game. In addition, in the first quarter, after Tang Jie hit a back-up jumper, Du Feng not only encouraged Tang Jie during the timeout, but also stressed to him that he could attack boldly when he was semi-fast before, and there were many times in the game when Du Feng called Tang Jie to the sideline to teach the opportunity.
The reason why the Guangdong men's basketball team has been able to achieve three consecutive championships in the past three seasons is that their attack has made the opponent invincible, Yi Jianlian has a pillar on the inside line, and there is a combination of Marzan Brooks and Weems on the outside line, and the "small ball tactics" of multi-point blossoming can quickly tear apart the opponent's defense line. But now, "Little Kobe" is still recovering from injury in the United States, only the age of one year old Weems, and Yi Jianlian's explosive power dropped significantly after the big injury, when there was 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, Yi Jianlian received a pass from his teammates, and the result was directly pulled down, in exchange for the previous he directly dunked, and the shot under the basket of the big brother in the last round was also directly pressed by "rookie" Li Weihao.
So far this season, the Guangdong men's basketball team has averaged only 102.5 points per game, ranking ninth in the league, and last season they averaged 119.4 points per game, ranking first in the league, and from this data, it can be seen how seriously the defending champion's offense has declined. In terms of three-point shooting, the Guangdong men's basketball team only shot 36.8% from three points this season, and their statistic last season was 38.6%, which is also the first in the league.
In addition to offense, defense is the weapon of the Guangdong men's basketball team to dominate the league, and Du Feng's five-on-five tactics are formulated to ensure the physical fitness of the whole team. In the past, the Guangdong men's basketball team often took away the game in the fourth quarter or even the first half with a wave of defense, but now, due to injuries and other reasons, it is difficult for the Guangdong men's basketball team to guarantee such defensive intensity. In the third quarter of the game, the North Control men's basketball team played a wonderful attack in a row, narrowing some point differences, and in the fourth quarter they won the Guangdong men's basketball team by 4 points.
More importantly, the opponent for the Guangdong men's basketball team defense has become more and more adaptable, as long as the opponent's defenders play well, can make the Guangdong men's basketball team's tight defense fruitless, such as the last time the North Control men's basketball team clashed with it, Wang Junjie broke the Guangdong men's basketball team's tightness, the last game Chen Yingjun was bombed down 43 points, leading the Guangzhou men's basketball team to victory. But in this game, the Guangdong men's basketball team is facing a broken North Point defender line, Wang Junjie only played for 5 minutes, Zhang Fan and Liao Sanning were injured and in poor condition, so the Guangdong men's basketball team could suppress the North Point men's basketball team at both ends of the attack and defense.
But winning is a good thing, not to mention a big win, Guangdong men's basketball team this campaign a total of 6 people scored in double figures, the last moment, Zhao Rui after hitting a three-point exaggerated look at his hand, this campaign he cut 20 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. After Tang Jie was blocked on the basket, Weems, who was sitting on the bench, was even more smiling, and these shots highlighted the relaxed mentality of all the Guangdong staff.
In the whole game, the Guangdong men's basketball team hit a total of 28 three-pointers, shooting more than 50%, and the rebounds, assists and other data were also better than the opponent. After winning this game, the Guangdong men's basketball team is still 1 win behind the Shenzhen men's basketball team, ranking sixth in the league, which is not necessarily a bad thing for them, because such a ranking can avoid the first place in the regular season in the playoffs, and more importantly, the "eleven champions" are getting better and better, which is a thing that makes the team happy and makes the opponents afraid. After all, who wants to run into such a hard stubble in Guangdong in the playoffs?
