In the second round of the CBA playoffs 12-in-8, Beijing Shougang will face the Jilin Siberian Tigers. In the first leg of this round of the series, the Jilin team relied on the last minute of the match with foreign aid Jones to win the Shougang team by two points.
The loss of this game has once again questioned the coaching ability of Shougang coach Yannis by many Beijing fans. It should be known that the strength of the Shougang team is far above the Jilin team, and Shougang not only has the advantage of Li Muhao and Fan Ziming's inner line twin towers. In addition, the Jilin team has only one foreign aid, while the Shougang team has 4 foreign aides.
From this point of view, Shougang has no reason at all to lose to the Jilin Siberian Tigers, who are far inferior to them in game 1 of the playoffs.
Yannis, who has been coaching Shougang for 4 seasons. Although he created an iron-blooded defensive system for the team, he did not bring more progress to the Shougang team in terms of attack.
As one of the largest clubs in the CBA league today, Shougang has not been able to break through in the playoffs in the past few seasons. Every time they played against Guangdong, they could never cross this old opponent and always failed at the last minute.
In this season's playoffs, Shougang faced an opponent, the Jilin Siberian Tigers, there were obvious shortcomings in the inner line, but they did not play the advantage of the inside line in the first game with Jilin Team.
At the same time, the three-pointers they do best on the outside line also lost accuracy. Neither the inside nor outside the team played the performance that the team should have, and the loss of the Shougang team was inevitable.
If this year's playoff playoffs are still a single-round knockout system like last season, then the Shougang team has now ended this season's playoff journey.
So tonight's match with Jilin team, Shougang team has reached the point where it can no longer afford to lose. If it can't win the Jilin team, then Shougang will miss the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
This is completely unacceptable to both the team and the club's management, so Yannis now has only one way left in front of him, which is to win the Gillings in this game and defeat the opponent again in the next battle of Tianwangshan to advance to the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
However, facing the momentum of the Jilin team, Shougang is not completely sure that it can win the opponent in this game. How to play the team's advantages in the internal line and foreign aid will become the biggest problem that will test Yannis in this game.
For Yannis, this game will also directly determine his future fate in Shougang. In the event of a loss, his coaching career with Shougang is likely to end there.
Therefore, in this game, Yannis will definitely make some adjustments in time according to the defeat of the Shougang team in the previous game. Outside defensive player Wang Xiaohui is likely to re-enter the team's main lineup, mainly responsible for keeping an eye on the outside arrow figure Jones of the Jilin team.
In terms of the interior, Yannis should give full play to the advantages of the Shougang team, using Li Muhao Fan Ziming and big foreign aid Hamilton to attack the paint area of the Jilin team in turn.
Of course, the Jilin team will certainly not sit still, coach Wang Han will learn from the victory of the last game, continue to play the team's star combination advantage of double ginger on the team's defender line, and use the super attack power of foreign aid Jones to launch an attack on the interior line of the Shougang team.
From the current situation, if Jilin and Shougang can give full play to their respective advantages, then the outcome of this game is really difficult to predict.
This game, CCTV sports channel CCTV5 will also be broadcast live, I hope that fans will not miss this wonderful Jingji battle, in front of the TV set to cheer for their home team.
