Last night, the CBA broke out in a big upset, the champion favorites Liaoning and Guangdong team both lost, Liaoning lost 105-109 away to Shanghai, which surprised people, because the other day they also slaughtered their opponents with 27 points. After the game, coach Yang Ming bluntly said that we paid for our arrogance. It should be said that Liaoning will be more or less underestimated in this game. Yang Ming also admitted at the press conference that he had not done enough homework in his preparations.
The scores of the two teams in this game were almost the same, but the Liaoning team was in the downside and in a situation of chasing points. In a courtside interview after the game, Yang Ming said three reasons for the loss, two of which were correct, but one was not. I admit that the Liaoning players have a mentality of underestimating the enemy and did not keep an eye on the two reinforcements of the Shanghai team, but I said that the protection of the rebound was not enough, and I did not talk about the point. The Liaoning team won 8 rebounds, how to say that the protection of rebounds is not enough.
In fact, there are other reasons for Liaoning to lose, which is mainly because the Liaoning team's offensive efficiency is too low, especially the three-point shot was thrown by the opponent, Merlot shot crazy, one person hit 7 three-pointers, 14 three-pointers. The Liaoning team's three-point shooting percentage was 13 percentage points lower than that of the opposite side. In addition to their low offensive efficiency, Liaoning have inferior steals and five more turnovers than opponents, both of which offset their advantage in rebounding.
In addition, Yang Ming was criticized by Liaoning fans in terms of hiring, and Shanghai fans were gloating when they saw him reusing the aging Li Xiaoxu and Han Dejun on the inside. Shanghai fans bluntly said that Yang Ming actually helped us with Han and Li Xiaoxu on the inside. Both Liaoning fans and Shanghai fans said that this was inappropriate. Daehan scored 7 points and 6 boards in 17 minutes, while Li Xiaoxu's statistics were even worse, playing 27 minutes, shooting 0 of 3, 0 points and 4 boards, completely stealth on the court. The two insiders in Liaoning did not score as much as Shanghai Yan Pengfei alone.
Li Xiaoxu is age, in fact, he is 35 years old, his state has seriously declined, basically he can't play, only 3 points in the last game against Shandong, and many games scored single digits. But in Yang Ming's heart, he still believes in veterans, because these veterans who play with him also have feelings. There is a lack of trust in young players, and young player Liu Yanyu is not included in the tournament list. After the game, Liaoning fans angrily criticized Yang Ming, Liu Yanyu has vitality, can grab the board, has a shot, is he not better than Li Xiaoxuxiang? His protective frame and sweeping ability have clearly surpassed Li Xiaoxu and Han Dejun. There are young players who don't use it, but they trust veterans for many years, and they really deserve to lose!
