The Tianjin men's basketball team, which can help five people in four quarters, still lost in the whole, and the Guangdong men's basketball team gave enough defensive intensity from the beginning of the game, which is their attitude as a defending champion. The overall strength and inexperience of the Tianjin men's basketball team also performed well in the first quarter, and the pace of the game was completely controlled by the Guangdong men's basketball team, and finally the Guangdong men's basketball team also won a big victory 124-101, ushering in the opening of the series.
Sony Weems' performance will make the Back of the Zhejiang Men's Basketball Player who is watching from the sidelines, he has 27 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal on 11 of 11 shots, and he is the first player since Yao Ming to double the number of playoff shots and hit 100% of the shooting rate. Compared to Yao Ming's huge lead on the inside at the time, Weems was more of a mid-range projection, and it was more difficult to achieve a 100% shooting rate. To put it bluntly, Weems is unattainable in this game.
In addition to Weems, the Guangdong men's basketball team also had five players score in double figures, and Richard Ledo had 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals on 6-of-13 shooting in the final quarter. Of course, Ledo's performance can not be measured by data, his performance in the first three quarters is really hot eyes, if the Guangdong men's basketball team wants to go further, Ledo's state is obviously not enough. In addition, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, Zhou Peng, Xu Jie and others all scored in double figures, and the shooting rate was quite outstanding. The eldest brother Yi Jianlian is not in too good shape, scoring 9 points on 3-of-7 shooting in the whole game, hoping that he can find the form faster.
Weems' performance naturally needless to say, he reached a plus-minus of +39 in the whole game, the highest in the team. However, the most "sober" person in the Guangdong men's basketball team is actually not Weems, but Xu Jie. Xu Jie, who came off the bench, made 13 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 4 steals on 3 of 9 shots, including 4 three-pointers, and 8 points on 3-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, which is the key to the Guangdong men's basketball team to continue to expand its lead. In addition, Xu Jie made 4 steals in the whole field, the highest for the Guangdong men's basketball team, and it should be known that the Guangdong men's basketball team only had 9 steals, and Xu Jie almost reached half the level.
Don't look at Xu Jie's score is not as good as Weems, Ledo and Zhou Peng, but Xu Jie's plus-minus value reached +30, second only to Weems, which is enough to explain Xu Jie's role. And this game is also the epitome of Xu Jie's characteristics, he is very calm, even better than Zhou Peng, Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui and others. In the previous regular season, there have been many similar situations, especially when the Guangdong men's basketball team is relatively sluggish, Xu Jie is often the most sober one in the team, he knows what he should do, knows which way to help the team win the game.
Xu Jie, who is less than 1.8 meters, often grabs amazing offensive rebounds, which is also the key to many fans ridiculing him as "Xu Center", but Xu Jie can not only grab offensive rebounds, but also a good cover. In the game against the Tianjin men's basketball team, Xu Jie blocked Kenny Burton's counterattack layup with 4 minutes left in the game, although he was blown off for a defensive foul, but Xu Jie's bounce and defensive awareness were really excellent.
For this scene of Xu Jie defending Burton, Du Feng on the sidelines was very happy, and he laughed. In fact, Du Feng is very partial to Xu Jie, and Xu Jie also used his excellent performance to give back du Feng's preference, hoping that Xu Jie can be more stable in the playoffs, help the Guangdong men's basketball team to impact higher goals, and also hope that Xu Jie will make Du Feng laugh more and more times.
