In the second leg of the CBA semifinals, the Guangdong men's basketball team lost to the Liaoning men's basketball team 83-96, falling behind 0-2 on aggregate, and one foot was already standing on the edge of the cliff. In this game, one of the main reasons for the loss of the Guangdong men's basketball team is that the internal line led by Yi Jianlian has been blown up by the opponent.
In the whole game, the Guangdong men's basketball team only grabbed a total of 28 rebounds, 12 less than the Liaoning men's basketball team, and Yi Jianlian, as the core of the interior line, played for 23 minutes, but only got 6 points and 7 rebounds, and lost 21 points when he was on the court, ranking first from the bottom in the game.
In the match with Morland, Yi Jianlian obviously could not stand up to the opponent, and the Liaoning Basket Big Foreign Aid was only the first quarter of the game, grabbing 10 rebounds on his head. In the final quarter of the game, Moland repeatedly cut points on Yi Jianlian's head, and even staged a wonderful partition.
The Guangdong men's basketball team has not lost before, nor has it experienced a dark period of 6 years without a crown. But in the past, even if the game was lost, Yi Jianlian's performance was often very stable, and most of the time it was better than the opposite internal line. But the problem is that even if it is as strong as Yi Jianlian, it will not be able to defeat the magic of injuries and the old man of time.
Since being seriously injured in the finals 2 years ago, Yi Jianlian has made a comeback this season, and his athletic ability has seriously declined, while his age has risen, which has also caused his physical fitness, reaction speed and confrontation ability to fully deteriorate. Therefore, today, it is indeed difficult for him to play the role of the inner line of the sea god needle.
But even so, I believe that Guangdong fans will definitely not blame Yi Jianlian for this, because everyone has an old day, and Yi Jianlian has made enough contributions to the Guangdong men's basketball team and even the Chinese men's basketball team at its peak. Moreover, when on the field, Yi Jianlian's hard work is still very strong, including the ball he was dunked, if it is not a big delay after desperately defending, how can he become a humiliating background board?
So even if Yi Jianlian was indeed blown up by Moland in the confrontation, for this veteran, the fans should still give him enough respect and stop pouring salt on his wounds.
