In the first round of the CBA playoffs of the four groups of duels, I believe that many fans think that Guangdong vs. Tianjin's series suspense is the smallest, whether it is from the overall strength and experience of the team, Guangdong team is crushing Tianjin team, and the format is arranged to win three wins and two losses, but also directly killed the weak team want to defeat the strong team through a game of upset way, as long as the Guangdong team is fully prepared, I believe that winning this round of the series, so as to advance to the second round of the series should not be too much of a problem.
However, the reason why Tianjin can enter the playoffs in the form of counterattacks in the late season must also have their superiority, the biggest feature of this Tianjin team is the outside projection, once their outside line is opened, the offensive ability is still very strong. According to statistics, after the league entered the third stage, Tianjin team can average 116.3 points per game, ranking first among all teams in the third stage, and they can also shoot 16.4 three-pointers per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 42.4%.
The most threatening point is Tianjin's outside Rochester, this season Rochester's outside shooting feels terrible, completely out of the CBA Curry feeling! Rochester averaged 8.8 three-pointers per game, 4.4 of them, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 50%, which is higher than the two-point shooting rate of many players, as long as he is given a vacant position, he can basically hold the handle. Therefore, if the Guangdong team wants to easily defeat the Tianjin team, they must focus on "taking care" of Rochester, try not to let him find the feel outside the three-point line, once he finds the feel, it will definitely drive the teammates around him, if the Tianjin team's outside line is all open, it will certainly be difficult for the Guangdong team to fight.
Fortunately, there are three defenders on the outside of the Guangdong team who can play the task of defending Rochester, and the captain Zhou Peng can also come up, he has height and arm span, and Zhou Peng is also the outside core of the opponent who often defends the opponent before. However, when the Guangdong team plays Tianjin, as far as possible, do not choose to package Rochester, because whether it is Burton or Lin Tingqian, he has a good scoring ability and the ability to dominate the ball, if once the bag of Rochester let him pass the ball out, then the subsequent defense line of the Guangdong team will definitely be threatened, so it is necessary for Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie, the three players to use their personal defensive ability to limit Rochester, so that he can't get more points at the same time, but also can't drive the teammates around him. The Guangdong team was half successful!
