On April 19, Beijing time, CBA club Zhejiang Guangsha officially announced the injury of zhao Yanhao, the core of the team, and determined that Zhao Yanhao would be hospitalized for at least two weeks, and it may be necessary to recuperate for 3 months to half a year, which means that Zhao Yanhao's season reimbursement will completely fail to qualify for the CBA Finals that started on April 20.
Zhao Yanhao was injured in the third semi-final match between Guangsha and Shanghai, when Zhao Yanhao broke through with the ball, lost his balance in the air, and then retired from injury, appeared confused, and was directly sent to the hospital for treatment, on the same day, the hospital diagnosed Zhao Yanhao as a concussion and needed to stay in the hospital for observation. After 1 day of observation, Zhao Yanhao was determined to be focal cerebral contusion with intracranial hemorrhage brain trauma syndrome.
Zhao Yanhao's failure to qualify for the finals was a big blow for Guangsha, which was their second local core in a row, after the second game of the Shanghai series, ST MVP Hu Jinqiu was hit in the abdomen, directly causing a ruptured spleen and bleeding, announcing the season reimbursement. Now, coupled with Zhao Yanhao's season reimbursement, the three local giants of Guangsha have lost two at once, leaving only Sun Minghui alone.
Only from the perspective of data, this season Hu Jinqiu averaged 20.9 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, and Zhao Yanhao averaged 16.2 points per game, these two people are the key players of this Guangsha team that can reach the finals, and the joint declaration of absence means that the overall competitiveness of Guangsha has declined, and the possibility of impacting the championship has become smaller and smaller.
At that time, the opponent of the Guangsha Finals is the Liaoning men's basketball team, 4 years ago, Zhejiang Guangsha team history for the first time to play in the finals is to face Liaoning, when the Guangsha as a whole is relatively young, and finally 0-4 was swept out by Liaoning, at that time, almost everyone was not surprised that Guangsha was swept, but thought that this team could look forward to the future. And 4 years later, Guangsha this group of players grew up for 4 years, during which they also introduced local players such as Feng Xin and Xu Zhonghao, signed the former NBA tanhua Okafu, coupled with the further growth of the local big three, it is clear that this Guangsha men's basketball team wants to impact the championship, no longer the team that young can afford to lose.
Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao were reimbursed for the season, and a team lost two local cores in one go, which was unbearable for any CBA strong team, as strong as the 11th champion Guangdong men's basketball team, after losing Ren Junfei and Zhou Peng, the same collapse was swept by Liaoning 0-3.
From the perspective of the general environment of the CBA Finals, the sharp decline in the competitiveness of Guangsha is not a good thing, so that the finals become flavored, on the one hand, the Liaoning men's basketball team, which is the strongest in the history of the strong horse and strong team, on the other hand, the Zhejiang Guangsha, which has damaged two local core lineups, such a disparity in strength is difficult to attract attention from the outside world. This is a bad thing for the promotion of the entire CBA League, the championship will eventually be won by the team, for the fans, more look forward to the process of confrontation, the excitement of the game, when Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Yanhao reimbursement, this year's finals showdown, it seems to be flavorful, losing the wonderful point that let the outside world pay attention!
