After a thrilling hand-to-hand battle, Zhejiang Guangsha narrowly defeated the Shanghai men's basketball team 103-100, thus eliminating the opponent with a 3-0 aggregate score and reaching the CBA Finals again.
Although it won all the two rounds of knockout rounds in the playoffs, the Guangsha team also paid a terrible price for it. The two core players in the team were seriously injured in the series with Shanghai and will not be able to participate in the next finals with Liaoning.
Guangsha's "local big three" only has one Sun Minghui left, and the overall strength of the team has been greatly affected. Therefore, many people predict that in the finals, the Liaoning men's basketball team can once again sweep Guangsha 4-0 after the 2017-18 season and win the second CBA championship trophy in the club's history.
However, the players of the Guangsha team do not think so, although they have lost 2 main players, the team's offensive core Sun Minghui is still there. Moreover, Guangsha's two foreign aides are also in quite good form this season, compared to Moland and Fogg of Liaoning Basket, the strength of the two is not inferior, and even stronger than the opponent.
The Guangsha team's big foreign aid Okafor has expressed their determination to defeat the Liaoning basket, and in a recent interview with the media, the former NBA Tanhuaxiu said that he is very confident that he can help the team win the CBA championship, and now the Guangsha team has only 4 games left from this goal.
In this regard, many Liaoning fans do not think so, to know that even if Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Yanhao are there, they may not be able to beat The Liaoning Basket in the finals, not to mention that both of them have now decided to miss all the matches in the next series.
Nevertheless, the Liaoning men's basketball team should not have the slightest idea of a light enemy, after all, the Guangsha men's basketball team is the second in the regular season this season, and after Li Chunjiang left the team, the Guangsha team led by Wang Bo has become more united and the overall strength is stronger than ever. In the previous two rounds of playoff knockouts, Guangsha team won 5-0, which is enough to prove this.
In addition, there is also a risk of non-combat attrition in the current Liaoning Basket. The team's offensive core, Guo Allen, has accumulated 2 technical fouls in the past 5 playoff games, according to the CBA League regulations, players who have accumulated 4 technical fouls in the league will automatically suspend 1 game, and accumulate 6 times to suspend 2 games.
In the past many seasons, Liaoning basketball has suffered from referee losses not once or twice. Guo Allen was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and suffered several technical fouls. Last year, in the liaoning basket and Shanxi team, Guo Allen was expelled by Wang Meilian for two technical fouls.
Therefore, the players of the Liaoning team, especially Guo Allen, must pay special attention to their actions and words and deeds in the game, and once they are caught by the referee, then he is afraid that he will be blown again. If you suffer a suspension because of this problem, it will seem too much to lose.
Here, we also hope that the players of The Liaoning Basketball will be able to control their emotions in the Finals and play at their true level, so that it will not be difficult for them to beat Guangsha and win the CBA championship.
