Hu Jinqiu fell early due to injury, and the good brother Sun Minghui made up for his regrets. On April 17, Beijing time, the third game of the CBA semifinals, the Guangsha men's basketball team, which lacked major generals, defeated the Shanghai men's basketball team 103-100, and swept the opponent 3-0 on aggregate to return to the finals. In the whole game, Sun Minghui played 44 minutes and 03 seconds, 14 of 24 shots, 7 of 10 three-pointers, 10 of 12 free throws, 45 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 assists and 1 steal, scoring the highest score in his career, and played a career battle.
After the last game, Guangsha suffered a heavy blow, the team captain, this season's regular season MVP Hu Jinqiu was hit by the opponent to the left rib for grabbing rebounds, and was diagnosed with spleen rupture and spleen bleeding after the game. Due to the urgency of the injury, Hu Jinqiu underwent surgery in the early morning of the next day. Although the operation was smooth, Hu Jinqiu needed to rest for at least three months, and for this reason, Daqiu was also reimbursed in advance this season. This was a great season for Guangsha to impact better results, and it was also a great opportunity for Hu Jinqiu to further prove himself. But with Daqiu injured, all this left regrets.
This regret, Sun Minghui obviously has to make up for his good brother. After Hu Jinqiu was injured, Sun Minghui stayed up all night and admitted that it was difficult to accept. He and Hu Jinqiu grew up together, worked hard together, and now, "Iron Man" Daqiu was rarely injured and was seriously injured, as a good brother, he chose to continue to work hard with Hu Jinqiu's strength. Sun Minghui said: "I will desperately fight for you and for the best of this collective." In this game, Sun Minghui also wore a writing and when the game began, Sun Minghui also fulfilled his promise with actions.
Guangsha's first score at the beginning came from Sun Minghui. Misplaced single-handedly challenged Wang Zhelin, Sun Minghui shook greatly and then completed a difficult retreat jumper with Wang Zhelin's cover. Attacking again, Sun Minghui hit a drifting three-point shot against Guo Haowen's cover before the 24-second offensive time was about to arrive.
In this battle, Shanghai continued to take a bag and strict defense against Sun Minghui, defending his Dai Hao, Guo Haowen, and Kelan Baike were at least 1.95 meters tall, and Li Tianrong's physical fitness was also quite strong, only when facing Luo Hanchen, Sun Minghui's body could have a slight advantage. With 9 minutes and 52 seconds left in the second quarter, Sun Minghui snatched a fast attack and was thrown to the ground by Shanghai foreign aid Franklin for a foul. Such a wheel war, no one may be able to eat, especially after the first two games of the series were strictly defended, but it is such a defense, not only can not stop Sun Minghui, but let him fight more and more courageously.
In the first half, Guangsha's last attack, Sun Minghui held the ball at the top of the arc and the whole team pulled it open for him. In the face of Kolan Baike's defense, Sun Minghui's left hand changed direction to accelerate the breakthrough, and although Wang Zhelin also had the assistance defense, he still could not contain Sun Minghui. A throttle was stepped on to the end, and Sun Minghui broke through to the basket to score again. In the first half alone, Sun Minghui scored 18 points.
This is the best embodiment of Sun Minghui's strong strength. In this season's playoffs, Sun Minghui did raise his performance to another level. Prior to this game, Sun Minghui averaged 22.5 points per game in the playoffs this season, second only to Guo Allen among local players (averaging 24.2 points per game). At the same time, Sun Minghui also carried Guangsha organizationally, and his average of 10.3 assists per game in the playoffs allowed him to lead all local players. Although Guangsha has Hu Jinqiu and super foreign aid Okafu, although Shanghai seems to be strong and strong, Sun Minghui's performance is even better and unstoppable.
Sun Minghui knew better than anyone the importance of this battle. After the fall of captain Hu Jinqiu, the good brother Zhao Yanhao was also injured in this game and withdrew from the game, and Guangsha can be described as "the roof leaks in the overnight rain". As the only "single minority" left in Guangsha's "three less", Sun Minghui needs a single core to carry the team forward. He understood that if this battle gave Shanghai a chance, there would be a lot of uncertainty in this series, and the more The remnants of Guangsha were further back, the greater the consumption and the more unfavorable to them, for this reason, he only had to carry the banner of attack and stifle all hopes of Shanghai.
Therefore, even if he was once weak in the breakthrough, Sun Minghui still single-handedly knocked out Shanghai's counterattack at the offensive end. Especially the more the game reaches the moment of life and death, the more critical Sun Minghui's play is. In the last 3 minutes of the last quarter, Guangsha's position attacked, and Sun Minghui once again mistook Wang Zhelin in a misalignment position, and once again hit a three-pointer steadily. With Sun Minghui's attack, Guangsha led by 5 points, temporarily stabilizing the situation.
In the last 1 minute and 34 seconds, Sun Minghui held the ball on the right bottom line and prepared to feed the ball to the low Okafor. Shanghai foreign aid Franklin's fierce collision was not punished by the foul, Sun Minghui took advantage of everyone's attention in this action, an accelerated strong Luo Hanchen came to the basket, with a turn to the basket to force the score, and created a foul. After another 2+1, Sun Minghui roared and vented, this time after playing three points, Sun Minghui helped Guangsha lead by 8 points, for Guangsha to seize the initiative again, this quarter, he scored 18 points alone. In the end, Guangsha also won the game without any danger, sweeping Shanghai 3-0 on aggregate and returning to the finals after 4 seasons.
