As we all know, on December 29, Beijing time, CBA will usher in a special game in this round, Guangdong faces the challenge of Guangsha at home, an ordinary regular season, but the meaning behind it is not ordinary, this game will hold Yi Jianlian's jersey retirement ceremony, according to Zhu Fangyu said in an interview before the game, there will be some different surprises in this game:
1, Zhou Qi will make a comeback;
In fact, Zhou Qi has posted a pre-game training video yesterday, Zhou Qi has conducted two hours of strength training, and the injured right knee can already land on the ground, combined with Zhu Fangyu's answers about Zhou Qi's injury in the past few days, Mr. Zhu did not lie this time, Zhou Qi may really want to make a comeback, and Guo Allen will come back at the same time.
2. The jersey retirement ceremony of the UAE will be interspersed with the game, and many wonderful programs will be arranged;
According to Mr. Zhu, there should be mysterious guests present, and Yao Ming will definitely come.
The history of the two teams, the Guangdong team and Zhejiang Guangsha have played a total of 44 times in history, the Guangdong team has 35 wins and 9 losses, but last season the two teams played 5 times, the Guangdong team is 2 wins and 3 losses, the regular season has one win and one loss, and the playoffs 8 into 4 is Guangdong 1-2 loss to Guangsha, when the Guangdong team was reversed by Guangsha in two consecutive games in the first city, on April 23, Beijing time, the last playoff game of the Guangdong team in the 22-23 season, Guangdong lost to Guangsha 96-101, the United Arab Emirates handed over 3 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 5 fouls and 2 turnovers, and the opposite Hu Jinqiu cut 16 points and 13 rebounds (9 front boards) , that fight also became the last battle of the UAE's career.
Hu Jinqiu is one of the real reasons for beating the Guangdong team, but Hu Jinqiu's state is not too good recently, in the Guangsha beat Shanghai game, Hu Jinqiu dragged the sick body to resist Wang Zhelin and Yan Pengfei for 43 minutes, handed over 15 points and 5 rebounds, that game made Daqiu seriously overdrawn, and then Hu Jinqiu did not participate with the team in the last round of the game against the Xinjiang team, and Guangsha also lost to Xinjiang 86-96 at the home of Xinjiang, which shows that Hu Jinqiu's absence has a very big impact on Guangsha.
There are doubts about Hu Jinqiu's appearance in this game, but Hu Jinqiu should be able to play, he didn't go to Xinjiang because of the long distance, and Hu Jinqiu has 4 days to adjust after playing in Shanghai, if nothing else, Hu Jinqiu should be able to play.
Regardless of whether Hu Jinqiu plays or not, the Guangdong team must be prepared, the team is now in short supply of centers, although Zhou Qi is going to come back, but he will definitely not play for too long, so the position of the main center is 20-year-old Xu Xin, Xu Xin's recent state is very hot, in his last three games, he has been able to hand over an average of 15.3 points, 13 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game, this round of defeating Jilin, Xu Xin handed over the best data of his career so far: 18 points, 17 rebounds and 7 blocks, a real defensive gate, this is enough to compare Zhou Qi's data in the Xinjiang team, even if it is compared with Yang Hansen, the hottest young center now, Xu Xin is not lagging behind.
However, Xu Xin himself said that he also has shortcomings, that is, the physical fitness is not too sufficient, and the problem of physical fitness will also lead to the lack of confrontation of Xu Xin, which is the same as Zhou Qi, and Hu Jinqiu of Guangsha is a physical monster, often by Wang Bo for more than 40 minutes, in addition to the accidental spleen rupture in his career, he has basically not suffered any major injuries, Hu Jinqiu's height and weight are not as good as Xu Xin, but his personal skills, mobility, and competition experience are better than Xu Xin, and the alignment of the two will be one of the highlights of the game.
Xu Xin's single defense against Hu Jinqiu is actually not a big problem, Hu Jinqiu is not the main offensive inside, his score is driven by the guard, so whether Xu Xin can prevent Hu Jinqiu depends on whether he can do these two details: 1. In the face of Hu Jinqiu + Sun Minghui's two-person blocking, how can Xu Xin break it? 2. In the face of Hu Jinqiu, he ran up and played, pulled out and throw, whether Xu Xin could keep up.
In addition to Daqiu, there are two other strong generals in Guangsha's inner line, big forward Oliver and center Okafor, these two will be the real point to hit the inside line of Guangdong, Oliver is similar to Tianjin's David James, not tall, but strong mobility, Okafor is another hole card of Wang Bo, he will be the main foreign aid of Guangsha in the winning stage (the main half), mainly responsible for low-post singles, at this stage of the league, there is no player who can say that he can limit Okafor alone, if you want to limit Okafor, you can only continue to foul like the Xinjiang team, so that Okafor, who is not allowed to make free throws, to consume the ball。
In general, Guangdong is unable to completely limit the inside line of Guangsha, can only try to make the inside line not become a burden on the team, Guangdong's real advantage lies in the outside line, recently Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie's state is very hot, this season Xu Jie's error rate is the fourth lowest among all point guards who played more than 100 minutes, among the local guards, no one has a lower turnover than him in the case of round possession more than him, that is to say, Xu Jie has improved again, not only to achieve a low proportion of ball holding, but also to maintain a stable offense, no ball holding the ball and no forward conversion.
Hu Mingxuan faced Jilin in the last round, one person threw in 5 three-pointers (Xu Jie too), in the face of the Shenzhen game, his death entanglement once made the former CBA super foreign aid Adams breathless, praised Hu Jinqiu's defense after the game, this time, Hu Jinqiu will take on the main task of defending Sun Minghui, Sun Minghui is the real backcourt core of Guangsha, and it is also a barometer of the team's offense, Sun Minghui averaged 20.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 11 assists and 2.8 steals per game this season, which is a defender who integrates offense and defense in a real sense, but Sun Minghui's shortcomings also exist, that is, the three points are unstable, and he is more emotional.
In the playoffs last season, the reason why Guangdong lost to Guangsha was that in addition to not being able to play the opposite side on the inside, what was more terrible was actually the opponent's three-point shot, Wei Zhe, Zhu Junlong and Zhao Jiaren's three points directly broke Guangdong's joint defense, especially Wei Zhe's unreasonable three-point shot, although it was said that Guangsha did not have Wei Zhe this year, in Zhu Junlong Zhao Jiaren is still there, and now even Li Jinxiao, Hu Jinqiu has a certain three-point ability, trapped by the mobility of the big center inside, Guangdong has more difficulty in defense, but fortunately, Guangsha has been away from home recently, and the physical fitness of the boat and car will be affected, but the Guangsha of the whole army still has a great chance of winning.
The match will be played on December 29 at 7:35 p.m. Beijing time, and CCTV5 will broadcast it live.
