Zhao Rui was elbowed in the head at the beginning, Erfei gritted his teeth for a moment, Ledo couldn't bear the pain caused by strain on the field, and captain Zhou Peng retreated after landing on his head in the third quarter... The semi-final second leg was unexpectedly tough. In the middle of the last quarter, the team achieved anti-oversurgence hope at 80:79, and the South China Tigers used their lives to compete with the opponent until the whole field whistle, but they could not cross this hurdle after many difficulties, and lost to the opponent again at 83:96, and the next showdown will have no way back.
"I think we played very well in this game, the second quarter of the unfavorable start to the score, everyone did a very good job of all the plans formulated before the game", after the game, Du coached satisfied with the results of everyone's fight, and still had a positive attitude towards the series.
Under the dangerous situation of the defeat in the first battle, Ren Junfei and Ledo returned to the battlefield in this battle, more to give their teammates positive encouragement, and in the reality of the lack of major generals, the South China Tigers could only restart the pace of fighting with all their might. Still a double-digit backward start, still a passive attrition of helplessness, the South China Tigers know that only one fight can gain hope.
When Zhao Rui returned to the field after a minor injury in the second quarter and scored 8 points in a row to lead the team to achieve a rebound, the morale of the South China Tigers team continued to rise, and the dawn of victory began to appear. At the moment when the third quarter captain Zhou Peng retired injured, we did not suffer a blow, but continued to move forward with the hope of the captain's fight, and were in the leading position in the middle of the final quarter.
"But it backfired, it's a pity, in the middle of the game because Ledo's legs were not good, I insisted on playing today. The second flight is not completely good, knowing that the team is very difficult to play with an injury, to know that it has not been played for a long time, the injury is not good, and this injury on the field has a great impact on him", Du guided to accept the results of the game, affirmed the efforts of the whole team, regretted the lack of personnel rotation but the confidence is still there.
"What makes people more sad is that Zhou Peng was injured when the score was more glued, and the rotation of the whole personnel was really stretched, which was difficult and not easy. Seeing the UAE League, Su Wei also fighting on the field, and the three small defenders, Weems is also, so long to fight each floor ball, the fourth quarter also rebounded. Maybe it was really in the case of the personnel that could not be adjusted to lose the game, I think everyone tried their best today. ”
Moving forward in adversity, Zhao Rui scored 21 points on the whole field to show his incomparable desire for victory. Moving forward in adversity, Du Runwang was not afraid of injuries, and shot 4 precious three-pointers in the face of the team's difficulties, and that resolute and fearless look brought unlimited positive energy to the team. Moving forward in adversity, Su Wei could only grit his teeth to speed up the pace of defense and win every hard-won ball for the team. Adversity forward, Xu Jie scored 18 points without fear of tall defenders to cleverly renew points for the team, Hu Mingxuan showed bleeding in his teeth...
"Everyone also saw our personnel situation, but we did not give up and were fighting. We've been fighting, even if we're a lot behind and sticky, we're fighting. Whatever the outcome of the series is acceptable, because we fought hard and hope that the fans who support us will understand," Zhao Rui said after the game.
After the struggle, it backfired, and we gladly accepted it. In any case, the next battle will be a duel on the edge of the cliff, there is no way back, and any aspect of the lack of opponents can only be compensated by fighting!
