The CBA quarterfinals ended last night, with Zhejiang beating Guangzhou 113-100 away to sweep their opponents 2-0 to advance to the quarterfinals, but Guangzhou stopped at the quarterfinals. However, this result is already a breakthrough for the Guangzhou team, and if we want to continue to create good results, we need to continue to work hard.
Guangzhou didn't play well in this game, basically falling behind the whole game, only a brief lead in the third quarter. The Zhejiang team couldn't defend it, they scored a lot of points, even if Wu Qian felt cold, but he killed Cheng Shuaipeng and Lu Wenbo, the two combined to hit 10 three-pointers, a total of 39 points, Guangzhou team had no way to suppress them.
The shooting percentage of the two teams is very close, so where does the Guangzhou team lose, from the data, they lost on the rebound, a total of 13 rebounds, so that the number of shots of the Zhejiang team is exactly 11 times more than the Guangzhou team, and the mistakes of the Guangzhou team are also 3 times more than the Zhejiang team, which is the reason why the Zhejiang team has more shots than the Guangzhou team.
From the performance of the players, Guangzhou lost to two new stars Cui Yongxi and Jiao Boqiao, and the performance of these two national players was disappointing. Choi Yonghee's playing time was the third most 38 minutes on the team, but he was completely lost, could not find his own offensive rhythm and feeling, played iron, only 2 of 6 shots, even missed two free throws, lost 17 points per game, is the lowest positive and negative efficiency value of the team. Fans thought that keeping Cui Yongxi on the field was to continue to hurt the team, but Guo Shiqiang did not see it that way, and continued to trust him and let him stay on the field. I think the fans are right, the difference in this game is not big, if Choi Yongxi plays less, maybe the situation will change.
Another rising star, Jiao Boqiao, performed the same as Choi Yongxi, he played less time than Choi Yongxi, only played 13 minutes, scored 4 points on 1-of-2 shooting, but did not grab a rebound, did not assist, helped the team little, and was not as effective as another center, Li Yanzhe.
It is worth mentioning that these two rising stars did not perform well in the playoffs, very average, compared to the late regular season. Of the four playoff games played by Jiao Poqiao, only one scored 10 points, the rest were 2 and 2 and 4 points. Cui Yongxi performed reasonably well in the play-offs against the weaker Shandong team, but the series with Zhejiang was bad, with 9 points and 6 points in the two games, with a total shooting rate of less than 20%, crazy iron, lack of offensive enthusiasm and initiative. This shows that young people still cannot fight tough and vicious battles, face stronger confrontation, are at a loss, lack self-confidence, immature mind, poor ability to withstand pressure, and lack experience. Last night, the two of them were completely robbed of the limelight by substitute Tian Yuheng.
Of course, we believe that Cui Yongxi and Jiao Boqiao will continue to mature, but how long this maturation process will take, this is not clear. At the moment, the two rising stars can't fight a tough battle, the World Cup is coming soon, the intensity is greater than the CBA playoffs, does the national team coach Djordjevic dare to continue to use them?
