The Liaoyue semi-finals, originally thought to be the peak showdown at the level of the finals, but finally played "one-sided". Now, the 0-2 trail of the Guangdong team has a lifeline, who can think of the defending champion so "not to carry the beating"? What is even more bizarre is that after 2 semi-finals, the inside line of the Guangdong team was actually beaten into a "sieve" by Moland...
★ Yi Jianlian: Heroic Twilight
"Years are a pig-killing knife", this statement is indeed true. As the "Dinghai God Needle" under the Basket of guangdong team, Yi Jianlian's performance in the semi-finals of Liaoning and Guangdong let us see the loneliness of heroes. He shot 2-of-8 in the first game, 1-of-4 in the second game, and made only 12 shots in 2 games, scoring 18 points and 16 rebounds. The leader of the Guangdong team is now faltering on the field, which makes people both distressed and helpless. Liaoyue semi-final G2, in the face of Moland's partition buckle and "death gaze" provocation, Yi Jianlian chose to swallow his anger. At that moment, everyone knew that Yi Jianlian was old...
★ Su Wei and Zeng Fanri: They have the intention to kill the enemy and are powerless to return to heaven
"The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and a generation of new people catch up with the old people", for the internal line of the Guangdong team, Yi Jianlian's "aging" has not been exchanged for the growth of new people. Su Wei is still the same Su Wei, habitually blocking and dismantling, wrestling hand-to-hand combat, having the heart to kill the enemy and unable to return to heaven; Ah Ri is still that Ah Ri, playing against the scolding, breathlessly turning back and running, doing his best to defend, but it is still far from "hardening". After 2 games in the Liaoyue semifinals, the 2 "helpers" around the UAE League made a total of 4 shots on the offensive end, with a total of 4 points and 3 rebounds. 2 big inside this performance, Guangdong team wants to win unless the sun comes out of the west...
★ Morland: Spring came too suddenly
For Morland, who has been questioned this season, he averaged 7 points and 7 boards per game in the regular season, which has always been called "parallel foreign aid" by the outside world. However, it is such a "parallel cargo foreign aid", averaging 2 double performances per game in the semi-finals, one person exploded the entire Guangdong interior line, and its invincible performance caught people off guard. Why did Moland, who was still in a slump against Shanxi in the playoffs, kill four parties in the semifinals against Guangdong? There are only two reasons, A: Moland himself is a player born for the big scene; B: The inside line of the Guangdong team itself is vulnerable. Dear officials, I will not repeat it here...
★ Zhu Fangyu: Remember the "5 for 1" transaction in those days?
In 2018, the CBA completed a "blockbuster deal", and the Guangdong team exchanged 5 people from Qingdao team for Su Wei with Gao Shang, Zhou Zhandong, Yang Jinmeng, Shao Yinglun and Liu Chuanxing. Guangdong sent away Liu Chuanxing, an internal line of 2 meters 25, and was quite questioned at the time. Some people say that the Guangdong team has a "triple crown" because it has changed back to Su Wei. The author believes that the person who said this is really "open-eyed and blind", the Guangdong team won the "triple crown" is not false, but this has little to do with Su Wei's return, the biggest contributor to Guangdong's "triple crown" is Ma Shang. Brooks and Weems, as well as a group of Nationals, Su Wei is at best a participant and witness...
★ Liu Chuanxing: I would have set my heart on the bright moon
As one of the chips of the "5 for 1" transaction, Liu Chuanxing is a rare "good seedling" in Guangdong youth training, and he was only 19 years old when he was traded to Qingdao. When he learned that he had been traded out by Guangdong, Liu Chuanxing was once very sad. In the 2019-20 season, Liu Chuanxing averaged 17 minutes per game in Qingdao, with 7.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.3 assists; in the 2020-21 season, Liu Chuanxing played 51 CBA regular season games for Qingdao, averaging 21.7 minutes per game, with 9.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. In recent years, Liu Chuanxing has made rapid progress, being selected for the National Olympic Men's Basketball Team many times, and was selected into the CBA All-Star North Division bench. This season, Liu Chuanxing joined the Brisbane Bullets in the Australian League.
Conclusion: If there is a Liu Chuanxing in the semi-finals of Liaoning and Guangdong
Nowadays, the Guangdong team's internal line "green and yellow" has become a fact, it is foreseeable that in the next Liao-Guangdong semi-finals, Yi Jianlian will still be difficult to support under the basket, and Moland will still wreak havoc and complete the internal line of the Guangdong team. We may as well assume that the Guangdong team did not have the "5 for 1" unequal trade that year; and suppose that there was one more Liu Chuanxing of 2 meters 25 under the basket of the Liaoning-Guangdong semifinals. But everything is just a hypothesis, there is no "regret medicine" in the world...
