No one thought that this round of the series between Liaoning and Guangsha would be easy, but they did not expect that Liaoning would encounter such a big obstacle. In last season's finals, Guangsha lacked major generals and was riddled with injuries, and both sides started the season healthy, and they never thought that in the second game, Liaoning team Guo Allen had an injury. According to the news that it was a strain, Allen Guo's response on social media after the game basically confirmed that he was indeed unable to play due to injury.
From Allen Guo's words, we can feel that he is in a bad mood, which also indicates that this injury is not optimistic, and it is very likely that the next game will not be on. In this context, when we analyze this series, the variables are much greater.
In the comparison of the lineups of the two sides, there is not much difference in itself, but now Liaoning has fallen into a very embarrassing situation, that is, inside rebounding and outside offense can only be one. In the second game, Guangsha made eight three-pointers in the first quarter with a shooting percentage of nearly 80%, but Liaoning only trailed by 8 points, because Moreland was on the inside, fighting for rebounds. In less than a quarter and a half, Liaoning had eight offensive rebounds.
But now because there is only one domestic point guard left on the outside, Zhao Jiwei is left, Yang Ming has to use Ferg to share the pressure at the right time, so that the inside rebound is difficult to guarantee, which is one of the reasons why Guangsha slowly chased back the number of rebounds in the second half. But if Moreland, then Zhao Jiwei is too tired, and he didn't rest for a second in the second half, and he was consumed by Guangxia bag. As a result, Zhao Jiwei scored only 7 points on 2-of-9 shooting.
Admittedly, regarding the summary of this game, we cannot ignore Guangsha's magical three-point play, whether it is Sun Minghui, Wells or Wilzhe, they all hit particularly difficult three-pointers. And a big man like Xu Zhonghao also hit a key three-pointer. Can not only see the part of Guangsha's extraordinary performance, but also see the place where Liaoning plays beyond normal, Han Dejun, who has not scored more than 10 points in more than ten games, scored 12 points and 11 rebounds this game, really tried his best not to ask for too much play. And after Fu Hao was almost marginalized, this game not only caught the empty shot given, but also flew Wei Zhe to break through continuously, which was not the expected content of the game.
In short, with the aggregate score coming to 1-1, Liaoning's advantage has been eaten away. The worst thing is the follow-up appearance problem of Allen Guo, which is very troublesome. Once this containment point is missing, not only are there fewer people scoring, but also the defensive pressure of Guangsha is sharply reduced, and it can be more targeted to pinch Zhao Jiwei and Ferg. After the game, when Yang Ming talked about the next game, he said: The difficulty is coming!
At this time, Liaoning actually has an immediate solution, that is, Zhang Zhenlin is going to break out. The second half of the second game was already inclined to create chances for Zhang Zhenlin, but the second half was too poor to shoot 2 of 9. Of course, Zhang Zhenlin chose to focus on the ball after his poor hand and gave 5 assists. There is nothing wrong with this, but the key ball, rather than sharing it with Fu Hao, it is better to score it yourself. Because Fu Hao's score will not have much impact on Guangsha's defensive strategy, and Zhang Zhenlin plays, it will have a chain reaction and play a greater role in the victory. Next, it depends on whether Zhang Zhenlin can take on the heavy responsibility.
