This game Shenzhen team is not without opportunities, at the end of the third quarter 67-68 only one point behind, but unfortunately Shenzhen team in the fourth quarter of the whole team only scored 15 points. With 22 seconds left in the final quarter, Shenzhen trailed by 3 points 82-85, and originally had the opportunity to tie or narrow the point difference, but Lu Yiwen made a mistake in returning the pass, and Luo Hanchen stole a layup to kill the game.
In this game, Lu Yiwen played 13 minutes off the bench, scoring 0 points, 1 board, 2 turnovers and 1 foul on 3 shots. Shenzhen core Shen Zijie played 38 minutes in this campaign, 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 5 free throws, 10 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, and left the field with 6 fouls in the fourth quarter.

Series G1 Shen Zijie played 41 minutes, 4 shots 3, free throws 7 of 5 to score 11 points, 11 boards, 6 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 2 turnovers. As the core of the team, he averaged only 4.5 shots per game, which was obviously unqualified. In these two games, Shen Zijie's round share (the proportion of the player who ended the round with shots, free throws, and mistakes when he was on the court) was only 9.6%.
This round of the series Wang Zhelin completely suppressed Shen Zijie, the king played in G1 for 42 minutes, 11 of 17 shots, 5 of 10 free throws, 27 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Wang Zhelin averaged 18.5 shots per game and shot 57 percent from the field. He averaged 26 points, 15 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks per game in the series, all of which were higher than in the regular season.
Wang Zhelin became the fourth local player in CBA playoff history to have at least 27 points, 16 rebounds and 4 steals in a single game, the previous three being Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Shen Zijie on the other side is not a generalist, he was elected the best defensive player in the regular season and selected for the best team, while Wang Zhelin did not even score in the second team!
Shanghai coach Li Chunjiang said after the game: "Wang Zhelin is the soul of our team, he led the whole team up and played the role of an old player! This is the first time in Wang Zhelin's career that he has reached the final four of the CBA, and it is also the second time that Shanghai has reached the final four of the playoffs after 12 years. In the 2009-10 season, Shanghai was eliminated by Guangdong 1-3 in the CBA semifinals.
At present, the quarter-finals have all ended: Shanghai eliminated Shenzhen 2-0, Guangsha eliminated Jilin 2-0, Liaoning eliminated Shanxi 2-0, and Guangdong eliminated Zhejiang 2-0. Semi-finals: Shanghai vs Guangsha, Liaoning vs Guangdong. The semi-finals will be a best-of-five format, starting on 12 April and ending on 21 April at the latest.
The showdown between Shanghai and Guangsha has two major points to watch: 1. Li Chunjiang and Liu Zheng face the old lord; 2. The peak showdown between Wang Zhelin and Hu Jinqiu. Hu Jinqiu won the MVP in the regular season this season, but Wang Zhelin was too fierce in the playoffs! Previously, he had completely suppressed DPOY Shen Zijie, and then faced with the ST MVP, what kind of data could the king hand over?
Which two teams do you think will make it to the finals?
