In the world of basketball, every game is not only a contest of skill of athletes, but also a contest of psychology, strategy and teamwork.
On January 10, a key battle in the 28th round of the CBA regular season was staged on the home court of the Guangdong men's basketball team, against the Guangdong men's basketball team, which was bent on winning, and the Shanxi men's basketball team, which had previously caused them to taste defeat. This is not only a matchup, but also a psychological and tactical battle.
At the beginning of the game, the Guangdong men's basketball team obviously did not forget the last defeat. Their foreign aid "Brother Shui" showed a hot hand, and with accurate three-point shooting, Guangdong took a 31-27 lead in the first quarter. The Shanxi men's basketball team did not give up easily, and they stubbornly chased the points in the second quarter, only giving Guangdong a one-point lead at halftime.
But the suspense of the game didn't end there. In the third quarter, Guangdong still relied on Brother Shui's steady performance, and at the same time, the young Zhang Hao also showed his strength. In the first game of his comeback, he contributed a season-high 10 points, and he was obviously a dark horse in the Guangdong team. After three quarters, Guangdong entered the final quarter with a slight 3-point advantage.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Guangdong men's basketball team was reborn and quickly played an 8:2 offensive to widen the difference to 9 points. In the end, they defeated the Shanxi men's basketball team with an excellent performance at home, ending their losing streak.
Brother Shui's outstanding performance was undoubtedly the key to the victory, he shot 12-of-17 from the field, including 8-of-10 from three-point range, and scored 35 points and 7 assists.
However, behind this victory, there was one player who did not perform as well as he wanted. Du Runwang, known as the league's top shooter, had a sluggish performance in this game, shooting only 1 of 6 from the field, and missing all 3 three-pointers, scoring only 2 points. Especially in the fourth quarter, when he missed two great opportunities, teammate Xu Jie's expression showed disbelief.
After the game, people couldn't help but think, what is the story behind the victory? Brother Shui's wonderful performance, Zhang Hao's stunning appearance, and Du Runwang's downturn all constitute different dimensions of a wonderful game. And Xu Jie's reaction revealed those unknown stories on the court.
Every game is a story, and every player is the protagonist of the story. In this passionate and competitive stage, there are both dazzling performances and embarrassing lows. But regardless, these stories work together to weave the charm and unpredictability of the sport of basketball.
Today, the Guangdong men's basketball team has written their own story with their hard work and sweat. Not only did they win the competition, but they also earned respect and honor.
And for the Shanxi men's basketball team and every player, this game is also a valuable experience and lesson. In the world of basketball, every shot, every defense, every game is a new challenge.
Let's look forward to many more wonderful stories from them in the basketball arena in the future.
