In this game, Guangzhou played a very good defensive role, and the confrontation was very fierce. Although the rebound still lost 8, but the Guangzhou team three shooting rate are significantly ahead of the Shanxi team, Shanxi team two foreign aides a total of 37 shots only 11, it should be said that guangzhou team's defense in this game determines their victory.

Let's take a look at the technical statistics of the two sides in the third game. In the third game, Shanxi defeated Guangzhou 114-93. The Shanxi team rebounded 61 times, assisted 18 times, shot 41 of 89 shots, shooting 46.1%, shooting 35.3% of 34 from 34 from 12, shooting 76.9% from 20-of-26 from the free throws, 3 steals, 13 turnovers, 4 blocks, and 28 fouls.

This game is almost exactly the same as the first game, Shanxi team rebounding advantage is obvious, this game grabbed 15 more, while the shooting rate of the various shooting rates are significantly ahead of Guangzhou, Guangzhou team Liv and Chen Yingjun played poorly, Guangzhou team soon fell into passivity, and Shanxi team more and more courageous, especially Simmons and Zhang Ning's play allowed Shanxi team to lock the win.

Combined with these three games, I think the main reasons why Shanxi eliminated Guangzhou under the gram are as follows:

First, the rebounding advantage is obvious. Three games Shanxi team rebounded a win-win 35 rebounds, because of the guarantee of rebounding, Shanxi team than Guangzhou team has a lot more rounds, outside shooters shot more calmly and confidently, the hit rate is naturally much higher, so the group of rebounds against Shanxi team should be the first credit.

Second, the defense has improved greatly from the regular season. As we all know, this season's Shanxi team is a team with a very poor defense, and they averaged 111.3 points per game in the regular season, ranking first in the league. But this season they let Shanghai blast 135 points, Let Zhejiang score 146 points, let Fujian get 131 points and other high scores, they were labeled as undefended. But in these three playoff games, Shanxi's defense has improved greatly, Guangzhou's regular season shooting rate has dropped to 42.3%,these three games have dropped to 42.3%; Guangzhou's regular-season three-point shooting rate has dropped to 36.1%, and these three playoff games have directly dropped to 28.6%.

Third, role players play well. Felder's play is basically the same as in the regular season, and his projection is still very problematic. But another foreign player, Simmons, played better than in the regular season, especially in the third game, his timely outburst allowed Shanxi to open the score. Simmons averaged 17.6 points per game in the regular season and 23.3 points per game in the playoffs, which is still a relatively large improvement.

Yan Pengfei's play is crucial. Yan Pengfei played well in this series, he gave people the feeling that the middle shot was too accurate, and when the opponent's internal line could not be prevented, his middle shot could be punished. In the first game, he had 28 points and nine rebounds on 11-of-15 shooting, a game-high. He had 17 points and nine rebounds on 7-of-11 shooting in the third game, which was also outstanding.

Zhang Ning's play is eye-catching. Zhang Ning has played very well throughout the series, and his specialty is three-point shooting and basket confrontation. In the third game, he scored against his opponents under the basket many times, extinguishing the flames of the Guangzhou team's counterattack, and he scored 23 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game. Averaging 13.7 points per game in the playoffs, and 10.8 points in the regular season, it's clear that he's a big-game player who gets better at key moments.

For the Guangzhou team, they have been eliminated and they can start the season summary and prepare for next season. Guo Shiqiang took Guangzhou to 8th place this season, which is already the best record in Guangzhou's history, and after being eliminated after playing three games in the series, they have been respected and can leave with their heads held high.

Shanxi struggled to advance to the quarterfinals, and their next round opponent is Liaoning. The Liaoning team and Guo Shiqiang have a close relationship, and Yang Xuezeng led three foreign aides to defeat the Liaoning team to win the championship in the Sichuan team, when the two sides clashed off the field, so this round of duels became the revenge journey of the Liaoning team. Liaoning team strength is strong, whether it is the starting or substitute, the lineup is very luxurious, it is expected that Shanxi team will be difficult to take advantage.
