After the game, Simmons, the biggest hero of the game, was surrounded by teammates to enjoy heroic treatment...
In this battle, the Guangzhou and Mountain teams, who were tied 1-1 in the first two rounds, ushered in the third round of life and death. The winner advances to the loser's home, making the game "bayonet red" from the start. Both sides are defensively positioned and quickly get into form on the offensive end. The two teams scored with their teeth intertwined, and the game was very sticky. Entering the second half, guangzhou team began to fall into a scoring drought under the strict defense of Shanxi team, and Shanxi team played an offensive climax to pull the score apart in one fell swoop. Faced with a huge score gap of nearly 30 points, the tenacious Guangzhou team began to fight back, but the difference between the two sides was too large, and finally lost the game with a score of 93-114, watching the opponent advance to the top 8...
In this game, Shanxi's big foreign aid Simmons broke out again, playing in only 24 minutes, 13 of 23 shots (including 9 of 5 three-pointers), 5 of 6 free throws, crazy cut 34 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming the primary contributor to the big victory over Guangzhou in this game. In the first half, when Feld was in poor shape, it was Simmons' coming on the pitch that changed the stalemate on the pitch and quickly pulled the score apart. Yi Bian fought again, Simmons continued to be unforgiving on the offensive end, and led the Shanxi team to extend the score to nearly 30 points, thus completely locking in the victory.
It is worth mentioning that Simmons played for the Liaoning men's basketball team last season. Played 16 games for Liaoning, averaging 12.1 minutes per game, only 9 points, 2.7 boards and 1.6 assisted the account, and the data was far less than his performance in Shanxi today. This season, Simmons joined Shanxi halfway through, played a total of 28 games for Shanxi, and contributed 18.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists to the team in a limited playing time of 18.4 minutes per game, and was very efficient on the court.
The reason why Simmons ushered in an outbreak in the Shanxi team and his huge contrast with the Liaoning team is that the Shanxi team coach Yang Xuezeng is a good person. Simmons enjoys full ball rights in the Shanxi team, and this foreign aid who can play from the first position to the fourth position can attack and pass on the field, and can choose by his own judgment, which is exactly what he cannot enjoy in the Liaoning team.
Strictly speaking, Simmons did not fully display his full personal ability at the Liaoning basket, and due to sitting on the bench most of the time, coupled with the fact that he had been playing without the ball in the game, he had largely buried his offensive talent. Simmons was not happy in Liaoning Basket and was eventually cut by Yang Ming. This season, Simmons and Morland exchanged owners, the former went to Shanxi and the latter joined Liaoning. Moland has played 25 games for Liaoning this season, averaging 17.8 minutes per game, with 6.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1 assist, except for the rebounding, which is slightly better, and the gap between the rest and Simmons is very large, not even in a grade.
The Shanxi team advanced to the top 8, and they will face the strong Liaoning team next. And Simmons and Morland will also usher in a direct dialogue, which is stronger and weaker, and there will naturally be an answer when the time comes...
