No miracle happened, in the face of the huge disparity in strength, although the Tianjin team used their lives and used all their strength, they still had no choice but to lose to the defending champion Guangdong team, thus ending the playoff journey...
In this campaign, the Tianjin team knew the consequences of going home after losing, so it was prepared for various difficulties, and unusually sacrificed a double foreign aid tactic in the second quarter. Although The Tianjin team once forced the score to close in the second quarter, the difference in strength between the two teams was too obvious. With the deepening of the game, Tianjin team in the face of a huge score difference, confidence and patience gradually exhausted, and finally watched the opponent take away the victory, with a 0-2 score was eliminated by the Guangdong team, encountered a playoff "round trip".
It is worth mentioning that as the starting main center of Tianjin team, Zhang Zhaoxu once again performed badly in this game. Played 12.36 minutes and had 2 points, 0 boards and 0 assists. The offensive end had neither ideas nor any way, and the defense was beaten into a sieve. Zhang Zhaoxu, who is 2 meters tall and 21 meters tall, did not grab 1 rebound in the whole game, but lost 4 fouls. Watching Zhang Zhaoxu's sleepwalking performance on the field, Tianjin coach Zhang Degui had to abandon the first height of the inner line, press it to death on the bench, and play a small lineup, and did not let Zhang Zhaoxu play again in the second half...
In the first leg of the Yuejin Battle, Zhang Zhaoxu's performance was equally terrible. He played 19.04 minutes, shot 1 of 4 from the field, shot 1 of 4 from the field, and scored only 3 points and 3 boards, plus 3 fouls and 2 turnovers. In this key game, Zhang Zhaoxu has no sense of presence at both ends of the attack and defense. Catching the ball under the basket basically does not look at the basket, usually passing the ball out in a hurry; when competing for rebounds, it is more like playing volleyball, hitting the ball in the air to the outside line. It seems that he has no idea that he is a center who is 2 meters tall and 21 meters tall...
This season, in order to strengthen the ability to protect the basket and make up for the shortcomings of the lack of internal height, the Tianjin team took the initiative to contact and communicate with the Shanghai team, and finally signed Zhang Zhaoxu. In order to get this absolute "altitude", the Tianjin team, which is not well funded, "smashed the pot and sold iron" signed a contract with Zhang Zhaoxu with the maximum salary. However, Zhang Zhaoxu, who had high hopes from the Tianjin team, did not play the performance expected by the team. In an average of 18.8 minutes per game, only 4.8 points and 4.4 rebounds were scored. The offense has no means, the defense relies on the eyes, and its poor performance is in sharp contrast with his top salary treatment...
Admittedly, Tianjin lost to guangdong in the first round of the playoffs, mainly because the gap between the strength of the two sides is too large. However, if Zhang Zhaoxu is a little stronger at both ends of the attack and defense, tianjin will not lose more than 20 points on the field. I have to say that this top salary contract given to Zhang Zhaoxu, the Tianjin team is really "dumb eating yellow lian"...
