124-101, Guangdong team in the first game of the playoffs easily defeated the Tianjin men's basketball team, the current total score of the two teams to 1-0, and then Guangdong team as long as the next game to win will enter the second round of the playoffs, facing the Zhejiang men's basketball team challenge, so as to fight for a semi-final place.
The most eye-catching in this game is the Guangdong team's foreign aid Weems, who contributed 27 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in only 24 minutes, and the most important thing is that Weems's shooting is 11 shots, which completely changes the slump of the regular season, as if finding the feeling of playoffs in the past few seasons!
However, in this big win game, the core of the team, Yi Jianlian, played extremely sluggishly, only got 9 points and 6 rebounds in the 25 minutes of playing, no assists, no steals and no blocks, shooting 3 of 7, three-pointers 1 of 3. Before the start of this round of the series, fans believe that Guangdong's biggest advantage is in the inside line, and the only people available in the Tianjin team's internal line are veteran Zhang Zhaoxu and inexperienced Li Jiayi, in terms of Yi Jianlian's strength, he should play very easily in this series.
The biggest reason why The Tianjin team was able to bite the score at the beginning of the game was that the Guangdong team could not penetrate their weak inner line, and the most threatening offensive point, Yi Jianlian, did not play much, and the Guangdong team relied on the excellent play of the outside players after that, and gradually pulled the score apart, and finally won a big victory. This inevitably makes fans start to worry, Yi Jianlian in the face of Zhang Zhaoxu's current level of internal players, can not achieve a suppressive play, if you enter the second round to face the inner line of the Zhejiang team, and even say that enter the semi-finals and finals, these potential teams have a stronger internal strength, really for the current Guangdong pinch a sweat.
The offensive end did not play, the UAE's threat at the defensive end seems to have been much worse than before, facing this game in Tianjin, there is no block into the account, there is no steal into the account, even the foul is only once, but this also has a lot to do with the Tianjin men's basketball team's play to the outside line, and the number of times to impact the inside line is not much. However, we can also analyze from another angle, now Yi Jianlian's threat at the defensive end has declined a lot, the game went to the third quarter, Tianjin's front line Meng Zikai did not choose to score when breaking into the inner line to face Yi Jianlian's defense, but with Yi Jianlian physical confrontation to get up to the basket, that goal can obviously find that after the confrontation, the human body has a bit of a sense of loss of center of gravity, although Mengzikai did not score that goal, but has relied on confrontation to get a chance to shoot. To know that Mengzikai's height is only 2 meters 06, the weight is only 93 kilograms, in the past, Yi Jianlian faced such an internal impact, he will definitely not give the opponent such a easy shot opportunity.
This picture reminds fans of the previous guangdong match against Liaoning, the same is Yi Jianlian when defending Moland, after being hit by the opponent and falling to the ground, you must know that the UAE League was once able to harden the big Gasol! In addition, there is also a picture that makes fans "tear eyes" is that in the fourth quarter of the game, Zhao Rui's long pass found Yi Jianlian, who did not have a defense in the front court, who completed the dunk after receiving the ball, however, his unguarded dunk this time was very sad to see, the UAE's starting height was very low, and his hands were only in the frame to buckle the team in, which was completely different from Yi Jianlian, who had excellent physical fitness and bouncing ability in our influence. The age of 35 and having just experienced a major knee injury do have a great impact on the strength and competitive status of the UAE!
