Mr. Sun beat Luo Hanchen in overtime, but the opponents that Mr. Sun will face this time will be Yu Dehao and Sirzati, who have stronger defensive ability than Luo Hanchen, Yu Dehao is nicknamed CBA Beverley, and the defense is like a cowhide plaster, and Sirzat is another outside defense warrior reused by Qiu Biao this year, and in the absence of Zhao Rui, it was these two who supported the outside defense of the Xinjiang team.

Abdul Salamu vs Hu Jinqiu
This is the hottest and most comprehensive power forward matchup in the CBA, Abudu and Hu Jinqiu are the team's scoring champions, Abudu can get an average of 19.4 points, 11.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, Hu Jinqiu is 22 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1 assist, Hu Jinqiu's shooting rate is more efficient, but Abudu's attack range is wider, the range is wider, and he has a certain organizational ability in addition to offense on the court.
Jones vs Okafor
The comparison of foreign aid, both teams have three foreign aids, Xinjiang's main foreign aid is Jones, who averages 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 8 assists per game, Jones's game, as long as the number of assists is double-double, Xinjiang has not lost this season, the other two foreign aid Telles and Davis play a supporting role, and during the critical period, Qiu Biao trusts Jones's play more, Jones's throwing has killed the inside line of many league teams.
The use of foreign aid in Guangsha is relatively special, Wharton and Oliver are the main foreign aid candidates used by the team in the first three quarters, and Okafor, who only joined in the middle of the season, is the strongest foreign aid in Guangsha at present, but Okafor is not stable, Wang Bo's use of him is still biased towards the key stage of the fourth quarter, Okafor is a backhand of Guangsha, and the first three quarters of the game will not be too strong, of course, Guangsha does not need Okafor to work too hard, he only needs to use his personal singles to kill the opponent's inside line in the fourth quarter of the score biting stage.
Young marshal Wang Bo vs Qiu Biao
Compared with the tempers of famous coaches such as Du Feng, Li Chunjiang, Yang Ming, and Liu Weiwei, Wang Bo and Qiu Biao's coaching style is more Confucian and handsome.
As the head coach of the two new generations, Wang Bo succeeded Li Chunjiang in the first two seasons and reached a finals, Qiu Biao was the original head coach of Shenzhen, after Shenzhen was eliminated by Zhejiang last season, Qiu Biao chose to resign and join Xinjiang in the new season, the two led the team in the first stage of the game and stumbled, but after the second stage came back, Qiu Biao has gradually improved, fully mastered the team, Xinjiang's current 10 consecutive wins is the best witness, the second stage of 10 wins and 1 loss.
Guangsha since losing to Tongxi Wang Bo said the sentence "you come", the team has never lost much, they killed Liaoning, revenge Tongxi, defeated Shanghai, the current record in the second stage is 9 wins and 2 losses.
The shortcomings of the two teams are the key to victory
Xinjiang's shortcomings lie in some of the team's injuries, Zhao Rui was injured, Wu Guanxi did not play in the last round against Shandong, because he was sick in the hospital to do atomization, Abudu and Zhu Xuhang also have some hidden injuries, the current game trend of the Xinjiang team is generally to let Qi Lin take the initiative to find the state in the first quarter, the second quarter stage of the rotation lineup will drag the back legs, in the second half Abudu and Jones will take over the game, if there is a tug-of-war, it will depend on Joan's guidance, so how to defend Jones, will be a test;
Xinjiang's biggest strength is defense, and during their 10-game winning streak, they have allowed their opponents to score just 93.5 points per game, and in six of those games they have limited opponents to under 90 points.
Guangsha's shortcomings lie in the gap between the starters and the substitutes, Guangsha has the most balanced starters in the league, Guangsha's fourth quarter will use Sun Minghui + Zhu Junlong + Zhao Jiaren + Hu Jinqiu + Okafor's luxury lineup, the inside offensive and defensive two-body, the outside Sun Minghui dominates the overall situation, but Guangsha's bench is much inferior, Zhao Yanhao still needs to find the state, permit, Duan Liqian, Wang Xinrui, Li Jinxiao's substitutions are still not enough to pick the beams, Guangsha's current game is arranged, basically a clear card, this round continues to be a guest in Xinjiang, coupled with the long distance, Hu Jinqiu's injuries will affect Guangsha's preparations.
