The much-anticipated CBA Finals kicked off tonight, and the Guangsha men's basketball team scored only 11 points in the third quarter after insisting on half-time, and finally lost to the Liaoning men's basketball team 75-98, falling behind 0-1 on aggregate. However, the play of the two young players Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiaren is still remarkable, which is the key to the Guangsha men's basketball team's return with the opponent in the first half, of which Zhu Junlong contributed 10 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and Zhao Jiaren scored 15 points and 5 rebounds.
There is no doubt that Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao's successive injury reimbursement has made the Guangsha men's basketball team, which is not superior in strength, even worse, the vast majority of fans are not optimistic that they can win the championship, even if Sun Minghui and Okafu do their best, in the series of seven wins and four wins, the Liaoning men's basketball team, which is strong and strong, is also a great consumption of itself, and it is difficult to persist to the end.
Therefore, if the Guangsha men's basketball team wants to compete with the Liaoning men's basketball team, or if it wants to maintain the suspense of the game for a longer time, it must have people other than Sun Minghui and Okafu come forward. Fortunately, Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiaren stood up.
For Zhu Junlong, presumably the fans are no longer strangers, after Liu Zheng left the team, Zhu Junlong, who is more than two meters tall, has become the defensive gate of the Guangsha men's basketball team. It is worth mentioning that Zhu Junlong was selected as the MVP candidate for this season's regular season, with a contribution value of +5.73.
On weekdays, Zhu Junlong does not show the mountains and dew, does his job of defense, and shares the defensive pressure for Sun Minghui, but as long as the team needs it, he can also output firepower on the offensive end, for example, in the two playoff games with the Jilin men's basketball team, Zhu Junlong contributed 16 points and 14 points and 12 rebounds respectively, which limited Jones's play at both ends of the attack and defense. In the second game of the semifinals, Zhu Junlong scored 15 points and 4 steals, including 3 shots of 2 of three-pointers, although he only scored 6 points in the third game, but Zhu Junlong grabbed 7 rebounds. This season, Zhu Junlong's average three-point shooting rate per game has reached 42.7%, which has become a very stable firepower point on the outside line of the Guangsha men's basketball team.
In this campaign, the Liaoning men's basketball team as expected before, strictly defended Sun Minghui, Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei took turns to defend, once the blocking and demolition will let Zhang Zhenlin or Moland forward to delay, the entire first half, as the team's main attack point, Sun Minghui only shot 6 times, many times were prevented even the ball can not be received.
However, the Guangsha men's basketball team stubbornly held the opponent in the first half, of which Zhu Junlong played a very important role. Compared with the offense, Zhu Junlong's overall view is more amazing, the third-year youngster born in 1999, when there are 3 minutes and 36 seconds left in the first quarter, a wonderful pass to Okafor who has no one to defend under the basket, Okafu easily throws and scores; soon, Okafor grabs the rebound in the backcourt, a dragon dribbles the ball into the box, and then passes Zhu Junlong, Zhu Junlong continuously makes a false move of shooting, after flying two Liaoning players, suddenly back to Okafu, Okafu eats cake again to score, the calm of these two passes, It's hard to believe that this is actually a choice made by a young general.
As long as there is a chance, Zhu Junlong of course also has a flash of inspiration to play, the second quarter just started 1 minute and 30 seconds, Zhu Junlong a false shake, dodged Cong Mingchen's defense, strong play into 2 + 1! Zhu Junlong's outstanding performance punished the defense of the Liaoning men's basketball team, and he also passed back in this quarter to Zhao Jiaren, who played equally well in the first half, and Zhao Jiaren decisively hit the three points.
Born in 1999, the same as the third year of his career, and also more than two meters tall, Zhao Jiaren is the older brother in the Guangsha men's basketball team "Renyi Brothers" and the leader of Guangsha Youth Training. In the absence of a major general, Wang Bo put Zhao Jiaren into the starting lineup of this game, the latter played a strange role, in the first half of the 5 shots, scored 11 points, plus Zhu Junlong's 8 points, the two young players contributed a total of 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the first two quarters, so that the Guangsha men's basketball team only fell behind by 3 points before entering the intermission.
However, the young players are after all the first time to experience the finals, in front of the experienced Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei is still young, the entire second half, Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiaren only got a total of 6 points, of which Zhu Junlong also appeared a dribble 8 seconds before the half of the violation, Zhao Jiaren was guo Allen from the hand to cut off the ball.
But just as the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, even if the point difference has been opened, Zhu Junlong still takes the ball and rushes to the inside line of the Liaoning men's basketball team, and he cherishes this precious opportunity. Zhao Jiaren also met Morland's cover at the beginning of the final quarter, dodging in the air to change hands to score a layup. Before the game, Sun Minghui said in an interview with the media: "In fact, there are no chances of the finals in life, we must cherish it well, do not have too much pressure, show our best side in training, let everyone see their own value, do not think about winning or losing, we do our best, leave no regrets." ”
As Sun Minghui said, in the case of obvious lack of strength, guangsha all members do not have any pressure, especially for Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiaren, their road is still very long, they need to play light on the stage of the finals, show themselves to the fullest, and perhaps get the attention of national team coach Du Feng, and represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the world championship in the future. Just like Sun Minghui, who just stepped on the floor of the finals four years ago, after the competition experience, he is already a big general on his own, and the young players will one day grow into a tree in the sky, shoulder the burden of the team, and even be better than blue out of blue.
