The Guangdong men's basketball team won the first game of the playoffs with a 124-101 victory over the Tianjin men's basketball team and won the opening red! In this campaign, Weems showed the temperament of being born for the big scene, and in the only 24 minutes of playing time that was "saved" by Du Feng, he shot all 11 shots in the sports battle, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 3 free throws, and cut the team's highest 27 points, while having 5 assists and 4 rebounds, which was the greatest contribution to the victory.
Wims averaged 14.1 points per game in the regular season, shooting 50.4%, both of which hit a new low since playing in the CBA, and like the previous two seasons, this powerful foreign aid known as the "CBA Emperor" is considered to be old and the river is declining.
The data does not lie, Weems in the regular season state is indeed not good, this is related to age, after all, he is almost 36 years old, at this age to play a dominance, is the other side of the ocean James can not do; in addition, Weems this season in the second stage of the season only in place, just found some state, just in the Liaoyue war with Han Dejun clashed, was banned, the state was suddenly interrupted. Therefore, people's fears or doubts about Weems are not unreasonable.
But don't forget, it is Weems, in the first two seasons of the playoffs twice killed the Beijing men's basketball team, to save the Guangdong men's basketball team from water and fire, but also in the case of last season's Marchand Brooks Achilles tendon suddenly broken, season reimbursement, in the finals completely suppressed Ferge, became one of the team's few advantage points, and finally forced the Liaoning men's basketball team to achieve eleven championships.
Before the first game of the playoffs, Weems wrote on social media: "4 years and 3 crowns!" Start the journey of 4 crowns in 5 years today! "It's a domineering manifesto he made, and he has that confidence.
Weems is not just verbally strong, after the start of this campaign, the first 6 points of the Guangdong men's basketball team are all handled by him, in addition to the first attack is to cooperate with teammates, the basket score after receiving the ball, the other two attacks are shot against the people, showing an excellent competitive state, which shows that in this nearly 10-day interval, Weems has adjusted his personal physical and psychological state to the best.
As a three-point team, the Tianjin men's basketball team that has entered the playoffs this season is by no means idle, the three-point ball is their killer, and it is the team's foreign aid Rochester who controls everything, the white defender is well organized and offensive, and was once the leading scorer in the Champions League, for which Weems is not unfamiliar, because he has also killed in Europe.
For Rochester, Weems and his teammates tightened their grips on the one hand, forcing him to leave the middle and left sides, trying to attack on the right side with a relatively low shooting rate, and on the other hand, cutting off the connection between him and his teammates and exhausting him with all his might. You know, the reason why the Guangdong men's basketball team often takes away the game in waves in the past few seasons, in addition to destroying the attack of the decay, is the height advantage of Weems, Zhou Peng, and Ren Junfei on the outside line, and they can rely on their height and strength to cause great trouble to the opponent's defenders.
Such a high-intensity defense made Rochester's physical strength decline quickly, when Burton came on, the Guangdong men's basketball team quickly pulled the point difference, Weems jumped shortly after the beginning of the second quarter, and the point difference reached 14 points, stopping the Tianjin men's basketball team. Since then, the momentum has completely turned towards the Guangdong men's basketball team, and the "Jinmen Tiger" has never turned over, even if they have double foreign aid in the third quarter.
Weems was resurrected with blood, but Du Feng knew that as a strong team, it was too early to be out of shape, and scoring sharp knives like Weems had to be saved, so in the first three quarters, Weems basically only played half of each quarter before being replaced. Also in the third quarter, Weems lost his first shot on the free throw, but the athletic battle was still 8 out of 100%.
In the last quarter, the Tianjin men's basketball team has been completely broken, the Guangdong men's basketball team continues to play a fast attack counterattack, Yi Jianlian, Du Runwang have bombed the basket, the point difference goes straight to 30 points, Weems turned over 180 degrees after receiving the ball at the bottom line, the shot was very wonderful, and then after the strong shot was replaced by Du Feng, 11 sports war attacks all hit, he also became the eighth player in CBA history to score 20+ points in the playoffs, and the sports war shooting rate was 100%.
At the end of the game, Weems smiled and came to the middle circle with his teammates to shake his fist and cheer, he also glanced at the zhejiang men's basketball team who sat in the stands to watch the game, if the Guangdong men's basketball team passed, the defending champion of the quarterfinals will face the Zhejiang Youth Army, and at that time, Weems, who is no longer used provincially, will show full power.
