Guangdong Hongyuan ushered in the last game of the regular season, the showdown with Shandong Expressway, the two teams had a confrontation in the first game of the third stage, ending with a big victory in Guangdong. This game will not affect the ranking for Hongyuan, but the whole team is still very serious, hoping to improve the overall state of the team through the game; and for Shandong, this game can affect the team's ranking, if it can beat Guangdong, then the team's ranking will come to 11th, and the play-offs can avoid Guangdong.
The two teams played very fiercely in this game, Guangdong took advantage of the better state, played a 28-19 score in the first quarter, and led the score to double digits in the second quarter; then Shandong improved the intensity of both ends of the attack and defense, played a wave of 13-0, and gradually forced the score closer.
At the end of the second quarter of the game, the two teams came to a very glued position, Zhao Rui scored two points in an attack box, but fell to the ground because of physical imbalance, and fell to the ground for a long time after falling to the ground; after the team doctor went on the field to communicate, he could only carry Zhao Rui on a stretcher and send him out of the stadium.
This sudden situation caused the game to come to a short stop, the du feng director on the sideline could not sit still, stood up very worried, and had a serious face; and the whole team also became slightly silent due to Zhao Rui's accidental injury, the eldest brother UAE held his head with a towel, Weems showed a concerned expression on the bench, and the other players also lost their due passion for the game.
According to the team reporter Guan Xin, Zhao Rui may have been injured on the shoulder and is being examined; fortunately, there is no injury to the head, otherwise he may really miss the playoffs.
As the game progressed, we were pleased to see that Zhao Rui had returned to the sidelines, still with a pained expression on his face, but being able to come back meant that it was just a hard injury and no major obstacle. In the first half, Zhao Rui got 3 points and 3 assists, and the offensive end did not seem to be too eye-catching, but the defensive end made Shandong's offensive thigh Hudson shoot 1 of 6, and even 3 mistakes in just a few minutes, as well as two consecutive rounds of offensive fouls, which shows how good Zhao Rui is on the defensive end.
After Zhao Rui returned, the expressions of the Guangdong Hongyuan players were also very real, the players on the bench were very happy, and the players on the field were also full of morale after seeing Zhao Rui sitting on the sidelines, no longer so low.
Zhao Rui's role in Guangdong Hongyuan is beyond doubt, and whether he can play directly determines how far Guangdong Hongyuan can go in the playoffs. On the offensive end, his scoring ability and tandem organization ability are an important part of the team, and the team needs him to open the attack at key moments; his role in the defensive end is even more obvious, and he often assumes the responsibility of defending the opponent's star defender.
A false alarm is also a kind of happiness! Hopefully, all teams will be able to stay healthy in the playoffs and play wonderful duels.
