When the score was fixed at 84-93, the Jilin men's basketball team, as most people expected, lost to the Guangsha men's basketball team in the first game of the playoff quarterfinals, but unexpectedly, the "Siberian Tigers" did not collapse, but fought with the regular season runner-up to the last moment, once again winning people's respect.
At one time, there were only 7 people rotating, and the poorest Jilin men's basketball team in the league swept the Beijing men's basketball team in the playoffs, which was impressive. Yang Yi, a well-known media person, revealed that the budget of the Jilin men's basketball team for the whole season is only 30 million, and the cost of Jones 1 person is far lower than the cost of the 4 foreign aides of the Beijing men's basketball team.
It can be said that the entire Jilin team is supported by tenacious will, but if you want to win, it is not enough to rely on will, and in the face of absolute strength, even the tenacious will will collapse. Therefore, before the quarter-final with the Guangsha men's basketball team, few people are optimistic about the Jilin men's basketball team, and the outside world generally believes that since the task has been completed, in the face of the powerful Guangsha men's basketball team, the "Siberian Tigers" are likely to not be able to survive the first three quarters, and at some point in the game, they will suddenly open up the point difference and directly collapse.
From the book analysis is indeed so, guangsha men's basketball team has Okafor and Hu Jinqiu, the twin towers, the two pointed directly to the jilin men's basketball team's internal line weakness, not to mention, Hu Jinqiu and Okafu's impact is by no means comparable to Beijing. On the outside, Sun Minghui, Zhao Yanhao, Zhu Junlong can consume Dominique Jones in wheel war, and even Jarrod Jones can delay, these people are young and strong, physically fit, momentum and passion.
But the basketball game is not on paper, otherwise the Jilin men's basketball team would not have advanced from the playoffs. For Guangsha coach Wang Bo, he is fully prepared for his old club, and the strategy he adopts is not too unexpected, that is, Hu Jinqiu, who just received the MVP trophy before the game, rushes to the inside line, and then fully restricts Dominic Jones on the defensive end.
The first strategy worked, Hu Jinqiu slammed into the first quarter, shooting 4 of 6, 4 free throws, and efficiently scoring 12 points. However, the second strategy was not so successful, Dominic Jones was also unstoppable, playing the first quarter, bombing 13 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, offsetting Hu Jinqiu's score.
At the same time, the attack of the Guangsha men's basketball team was overly concentrated in the hands of Hu Jinqiu alone, resulting in other points not being opened, and the mode of single-handed fighting was what the Jilin men's basketball team was good at, so in the first quarter of the game, the Jilin men's basketball team did not collapse, but led 24-22.
Wang Bo actually knows that it is not so easy to crush the Jilin men's basketball team at once, he needs to find an incision in the process of restriction and anti-restriction, and then simmer slowly, like a boiled frog in warm water. In the third quarter, Wang Bo waited for that opportunity, and when Hu Jinqiu rushed to the basket in 5 minutes and 28 seconds in the quarter, the Guangsha men's basketball team pulled the point difference to 9 points and stopped the Jilin men's basketball team.
But after that, Jones hit an incredible three-pointer! This is the role of the superstar, this quarter, he only scored these 3 points, but let the Jilin men's basketball team win 3 points in a single quarter, a sigh of relief, but also let the Jilin men's basketball team in the fourth quarter shortly after the beginning of the point difference to 4 points.
The second opportunity came when the fourth quarter was played to 7 minutes and 40 seconds, Zhu Junlong's free throw allowed the Guangsha men's basketball team to expand the point difference to double digits, but the Jilin men's basketball team did not give up, Jiang Yuxing's continuous attack once again narrowed the point difference to only 6 points, Wang Bo quickly called a timeout.
In fact, the Guangsha men's basketball team has done a good enough, Dominic Jones did not play the familiar rhythm, played very depressed, in the fourth quarter he was twice because of the blow penalty foul emotional control, also ate a technical foul, there was another interference ball, after learning that he interfered with the ball, Dominic Jones shouted, venting his inner depression.
But when Wang Bo restricted the other party, Wang Han, who was extremely familiar with him, was also countering. In the regular season, the Guangsha men's basketball team averaged 107 points per game, ranking third in the league, but this game they only scored 93 points, and they also played very badly. In addition to Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui, the other scorers did not play the level they should have, and Okafor, who had high hopes, only scored 7 points in the whole game, another fire point Zhao Yanhao played 38 minutes and scored only 8 points, and in the third quarter, the Guangsha men's basketball team scored only 17 points. In the whole game, the Guangsha men's basketball team shot 6 of 27 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was only 22.2%, which shows that the defense of the Jilin men's basketball team is very tough.
On the offensive end, the Jilin men's basketball team played very normally, and even if Jones was restricted, he had 27 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds, and the three-point three-pointers were very morale-boosting. Jiang Yuxing's impact made the Jilin men's basketball team once see the hope of catching up, he also scored 16 points, and Jiang Weize contributed 12 points and 9 rebounds, which can play a role as soon as he plays. In particular, it is worth mentioning Ang Lee, whose accurate shooting made Okafor lose sight of one or the other, weakening the height advantage of the Guangsha men's basketball team a lot, and he scored 18 points in 9 of two-point shots.
So even if they lose, the play of the Jilin men's basketball team is far more than the outside world expects, they not only did not collapse, but also once suppressed the attack of the Guangsha men's basketball team, it is difficult to imagine that this is a team with limited rotation players and has just experienced a hard battle with the Beijing men's basketball team. Two days later, in the second game, the Jilin men's basketball team will still not be optimistic, but so what? As Jones said after the game: "We're not going to worry about what we can't control, the next game!" ”
