Yang Ming mentioned the performance of several core Liao basketball after the G2 finals:
1. Without Zhao Jiwei, we would not be able to go now. He is very important to the team, especially when the team is plagued by injuries and he has a heavier burden. It's great that he's been in constant shape and hopefully he stays there until the end of the finals.
2. Han Dejun's performance has exceeded expectations, his age, injuries will affect his competitive form, but his attitude of fighting for every goal inspires the team;
3. Li Xiaoxu's desire to win is very strong, he plays the role of an inside hub at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and his long-term self-discipline has caused a virtuous circle.
Zhao Jiwei's stable output
Zhao Jiwei in G2, 7 of 10, 2 of 5 three-pointers, scored 21 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals, shooting 70%, three-point shooting rate of 40%, the two games of the finals have scored 50 points + 11 three-point + 14 assists, he is undoubtedly the general of this Liao basket.
Zhao Jiwei currently plays with a rating of 22.3, averaging 25 points, 7 assists and 2 steals per game, shooting 50%, as long as Liaoning wins the championship, he is FMVP, that is, the second consecutive MVP.
The second elder Xuanlu struck hard
Han Dejun is 26 years old this year, G1 scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks to support the inside, G2 he was defended by Yu Jiahao, but also contributed 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, the key is that he played 54 minutes in two games and only 1 turnover, so a stable veteran must be the X factor.
Another X-factor is Li Xiaoxu, who is also 33 years old this year, and his second brother, who suffered a serious injury, scored 12 points and 15 rebounds in G2, including 7 frontcourt rebounds, becoming another local player to score at least 7 frontcourt rebounds in the Finals after Yao Ming in the 01-02 season.
He has risen from ninth to fifth in the CBA Finals frontcourt rebounding rankings and is expected to hit fourth all-time this season, and a veteran can afford to be a surprise player with such a performance. He had 10 frontcourt rebounds in two Finals games.
Does Allen Guo still need a comeback? Lying crown?
As long as Guo Allen does not heal from his injury, he does not need to come back, and at present, the combination of Zhao Jiwei + Fogg's backcourt attack twin stars is stable and efficient, and Zhao Jiwei's ability to connect the team is also something that Guo Shao does not have. The injury that has not healed may still be a drag on the team.
Allen Guo can still come back when he is fully recovered, playing a substitute to face Zhejiang's second team, and this time the championship is likely to lie down regardless of whether Allen Guo comes back or not.
