At 15:00 Beijing time on April 3 (Sunday), CCTV5 Channel will bring the second game between Shanxi and Guangzhou in the first round of the CBA playoffs. In the first match, with more blossoms, Shanxi won 120-101 against Guangzhou, and one foot has entered the quarterfinals. Faced with the unfavorable situation of going home early after losing, will the Guangzhou team fight back?
The competition between two regular season dark horse teams is also a fight between two championship coaches. When Yang Xuezeng coached the Sichuan team, he defeated the Liaoning team led by Guo Shiqiang in the finals, and now the meeting is also a continuation of fate. In the first game of Guangzhou's loss to Shanxi, the tactical arrangement guided by Guo Shiqiang is debatable, he wants to copy the liaoning team's small lineup success model in Guangzhou, but there is a gap in the ability level between the players, when the small players cannot play at a high level on the offensive end, the defensive end is naturally seized by the opponent to seize the opportunity of dislocation. The three-point shot is not accurate, the defense is caught by the opponent and attacked misplaced, the rebound protection in the backcourt is not ideal, and it is normal for Guangzhou to lose. For the Guangzhou team, the adjustment is certain, but the Shanxi team will not remain unchanged.
Where is the adjustment of the Guangzhou team? The first is the change of mentality, the fact that the loss is home is there, don't have the nervous, fearful mood, is to let go of the play, starting from protecting the rebound, which tests the enthusiasm and concentration of the players. The second is the adjustment of tactics, how Felder defends, how Simmons limits, whether it should be combined. In the case of joint defense, the breakthrough of the two foreign aides and Yan Pengfei's attack will be limited, but Yuan Shuai and others will threaten on the outside line, and how can they be adjusted when the joint defense is broken? The third is the use of Liv, it is difficult for Shanxi to limit the attack of this point, but no matter how strong a person is, there is always a tired time, if the bag is in place, the number of mistakes of Liv will come up. Yang Xuezeng's guidance is not afraid of Li Fu's personal strong attack, and the Shanxi team is afraid of Li Fu's tandem with Chen Yingjun and Guangzhou's domination of the ball. Guangzhou team can not be three-point shot has been about 20% shooting rate, Shanxi team also have to deal with it.
In the first game, in addition to Yan Pengfei playing the role of a strange soldier, Simmons' performance was really amazing to the fans. From being called a parallel foreign aid to trying to take over the game, Simmons' advantages gradually came to play. Guangzhou suffered a lot in defending Simmons, and in the second game, if Guo Shiqiang's coaching could not arrange special personnel to restrict it, he was likely to continue to play in the second team. If Simmons stays on the pitch long enough, it means Felder has plenty of rest, which is very bad for Guangzhou. Whether to play the third set or go home early, even if it is the guidance of Guo Shiqiang, who has been in the battlefield for a long time, I believe that the pressure at this moment will be very large. The Guangzhou team needs to reinvigorate, they must play their passion, especially Chen Yingjun and Zhu Mingzhen, otherwise what will they do to compete with the Shanxi team that has already gained momentum?
