On April 14, Beijing time, the Guangdong men's basketball team ushered in the second battle with the Liaoning men's basketball team semifinals, and Guangdong only scored the worst 79 points since the playoffs in the first game, and is bound to want to face back in this game. Deliberately let Lai Duo and Ren Junfei, the two injured soldiers return to the team's 12-man roster, the first quarter began at the beginning of the two sides into a hand-to-hand battle, Zhao Rui in a breakthrough process by Han Dejun elbowed to the temple, missing such a backcourt attack launch point, Guangdong in the first quarter 15-26 trailed 11 points. However, in the second quarter, Zhao Rui returned to the field after processing, and Guangdong also played a long-lost offensive and defensive conversion, at the end of the half to 44-42 to overtake Liaoning, leading by 2 points, in the second half yibian again, although Guangdong once relied on Zhao Rui to overtake the score, but in the last quarter Moland once again threatened, helping Liaoning to play a 13-0 shockwave, Guangdong finally lost to Liaoning 83-96, with a total score of 0-2 into an absolute passive disadvantage.
And this game Guangdong lost, as the team's interior core Yi Jianlian absolutely bear the main responsibility, this campaign he has a sense of presence at both ends of the attack and defense is almost 0, at the end of the first half he shot only 1 goal in 4 shots, only 6 points and 6 rebounds, the whole game was played, he played in 23 minutes, 4 shots 1 only 6 points and 7 rebounds into the account. In the confrontation with Morland, he can be said to be completely exploded by the other side, and in a defensive round in the last quarter, he was used as a background board figure for the next person to dunk.
In fact, in the last game, Yi Jianlian failed to play the ideal performance, in the 24 minutes of playing time, 8 shots 2 of 8 only 12 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. And G2 this game, especially in the first quarter, Yi Jianlian was almost used as a living target by Liaoning foreign aid Moland, a hit a quasi, in the face of this extremely physically explosive "spring player", Yi Jianlian has no countermeasures, if it is not Du Feng let Su Wei come on the field to restrict Molander, Guangdong's inner line is estimated to really be beaten into a sieve.
Since the Achilles tendon rupture in the 20-year finals, the UAE League, which has returned to the field this season, is 34 years old, even if it does not encounter the Achilles heel, it is 34 years old, and it is basically the late career for the interior players. The UAE Will also face a brutal test of great decline in physical function, and in the two encounters with Liaoning during the regular season, the UAE League has not been able to play a convincing performance. The first meeting between the two sides on January 1 this year, that game in the UAE League in the 20 minutes of playing time, 6 shots, only rely on free throws to get 3 points and 5 rebounds, and on January 13, the second game, Yi Jianlian, although in 29 minutes of playing time, scored 18 points and 7 rebounds, but only hit 6 goals in 14 shots, shooting as low as 42.9%.
Therefore, this semi-final has no upper hand against Liaoning Basket, which is also a reasonable thing. Not counting today's semi-final double battle, in these 5 playoff games, the UAE League averaged only 14.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game in 28.6 minutes of playing time, shooting as low as 40.7%, and the three-point shooting rate was only a pitiful 28.6%. I don't know if the team looks at the UAE League, which is now a hero in the twilight, whether it begins to miss the fire-fighting foreign aid Jason Thompson last season, if he can continue to stay in the team this season, Guangdong will not be so tight inside, relying on the veteran Su Wei to support there, after losing this game, Guangdong wants to enter the finals has been very difficult, and this defeat, presumably Guangdong will also usher in a major change of blood in this offseason, so that young players begin to take over the banner.
