Live bar April 17 news CBA semi-finals, Guangdong total score 0-3 was eliminated by Liaoning.
Just now, the media person Mai Suifeng published an article entitled "Why should we force the UAE to make a decision", and wrote in Weibo: "Last night, Guangdong lost 1 point to Liaoning in the overtime war, ending the season's journey. Yi Jianlian only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds, and did not play in the final final battle moment and overtime, so some people shouted 'Yi Jianlian retired'. Probably not many people know that Yi Jianlian has been injured in the first game of the series and has been gritting his teeth and insisting. No one can escape the day of retirement, but the final decision should be in the hands of the players themselves. ”
The article is as follows:
In last night's CBA semifinals, Guangdong lost 116-117 to Liaoning through overtime, and was eliminated by the aggregate score of 0-3.
Not many people expected that Guangdong would lead Liaoning for most of last night. I didn't expect this team to be able to play overtime with Liaoning. It is not expected that the last scoring points that Guangdong relied on were Du Runwang and Xu Jie. There was no way, Zhou Peng, Lai Duo, Ren Junfei, Zhang Haojia and Zhang Hao all appeared on the injury list. Tang Jie cramped, and Wang Xingkai was also injured.
What about Yi Jianlian? Why is the absolute leader of this team sitting off the court in the decider moment and extra time? Why did the whole game contribute with only 5 points and 5 rebounds?
Probably not too many people know that Yi Jianlian insisted on playing with an injury. Then say it again. In the first match of the Liaoyue War, Yi Jianlian could also contribute 12 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, but there was a strain. The injury did not reach the point where it was impossible to play directly, but it also really affected Yi Jianlian's performance.
During the difficult period of the whole team, Neither Yi Jianlian nor Guangdong announced this matter to the outside world, and did their best to maintain the stability of the military and finish the game first. But the fans are not blind, and it can be seen that Yi Jianlian's pace is getting slower and slower, and the explosive force is getting weaker and weaker.
In last night's game, Yi Jianlian's speed was reduced to the minimum, and even his movement speed was not even as good as Su Wei's... This is Yi Jianlian, a team leader who silently burned himself to the last moment.
In fact, this single season is like the epitome of Yi Jianlian's career: the start remains strong, the middle section suffers difficulties and is struggling to support, and the physical condition in the final section is difficult to sustain. Achilles tendon rupture is a fatal blow for professional players, and few have been able to maintain the top level after an injury at this level. A rare example is Durant, and strong as Kobe Bryant can no longer be his former self after breaking the Achilles tendon.
This season, Guangdong has been working hard to protect Yi Jianlian. Averaging 24 minutes per game in the regular season, the lowest CBA career since the rookie season. Yi Jianlian still maintains a very good efficiency after changing the style of play, contributing 16.2 points and 8.6 rebounds with a 50.2% shooting rate, and a 41.3% three-point shooting rate is the highest in the past four seasons.
It may no longer be able to take on the task of attacking strong points, and it may no longer be able to turn the tide. But Yi Jianlian can also contribute on the defensive end, guarding the penalty area with experience and footsteps.
Against Jilin on December 30 last year, Yi Jianlian scored 25 points and 16 rebounds on the team that could eliminate the luxury lineup beijing with a seven-man rotation. Facing Shanxi on January 6 this year, Yi Jianlian exploded 23 points and 20 rebounds in front of the team that eliminated the Dragon Lions and fought Against Liaoning.
In the 30 regular season games this season, Yi Jianlian can also score 12 double-doubles and send out violent dunks many times. It wasn't until the semi-finals that he was injured for countless of the first time in his playing career. Injuries are indeed part of the game, and it is a natural rule that the decline in competitive status brought about by age is also a natural rule.
However, emphasizing objective facts is not deliberately rendering tragic, but just wanting to explain the actual situation of Yi Jianlian.
The injuries of the Guangdong team and Yi Jianlian's personal situation are clearly placed in front of everyone. Competitive sports, not and do not have to become "worse than the convention".
When seeing that Yi Jianlian could not keep up with Moland's footsteps, when seeing that Yi Jianlian could not complete the offensive ending that had seemed very easy before under the basket, when seeing that Yi Jianlian could not reproduce the flying buckle.
When the lost people shouted "Yi Jianlian hurriedly retired" regardless of their disregard, did they ever think that everyone might be quietly spoiled by Yi Jianlian? Think Yi Jianlian will never get old? Those who do their best should not be blamed.
All the players can't hide from the day they retire, but the final decision should be in their own hands. As long as you persist, there is always a next game.
Thank you Yi Jianlian!
This season, Yi Jianlian played 36 games for Guangdong, averaging 24.2 minutes per game and having 15.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
