On February 2, 2024, the night of the CBA upset, 3 high-ranking teams overturned at the same time in this round, and they were all defeated by their opponents. The Xinjiang men's basketball team, which tops the standings, was reversed by the Shanxi men's basketball team when it led by nearly 20 points at most.
The Liaoning men's basketball team lost to the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team, which was absent from the three main players, and lost to the other party for the first time in team history. The core Sun Minghui was absent, and Guangsha lost to Nanjing Tongxi again, suffering three consecutive defeats. Even the battle between Fujian and Tianjin, which is not very concerned, is the same result.
The Xinjiang men's basketball team has just experienced a wave of 6 consecutive wins, although Wu Guanxi and Abdul Salamu are both plagued by injuries, but they still maintain a good competitive state in the face of the Shanxi men's basketball team.
Qi Lin broke out in an all-round way, shooting 11 of 15 and scoring 27 points alone in the first half. Driven by him, the Xinjiang men's basketball team led Shanxi by as many as 18 points in the first half.
But in the second half, the situation changed. Qi Lin's state was similar to the first half, and he was habitually lost in the fans' expectation of explosive points, scoring 27 points in the half and only 31 points in the whole game.
It is not only Qi Lin who is lost, but the strategic choice of the head coach has also been criticized. From the third quarter, the Xinjiang men's basketball team began to play a small lineup. Jones is the absolute core of this lineup, but at the same time the biggest hidden danger.
Now Jones, the degradation of long-range shooting ability is too obvious, not only can he not punish the opponent by shooting, but he will also send effective defensive ideas for the opponent, strictly prevent breakthroughs, and let him shoot.
In addition, as he gets older, Jones's defensive quality is also declining, and under the influence of various factors, it provides conditions for the Shanxi men's basketball team to chase points.
After being overtaken by Shanxi, he had a fever of 39 degrees, and the captain Abdul Salamu, who was supposed to take turns resting, went into battle with illness, and scored key goals in a row at the last moment, but still failed to save the Xinjiang men's basketball team.
It stands to reason that the Xinjiang men's basketball team will not easily play a small lineup. Perhaps it was because of the absence of the main center Wu Guanxi and the unfamiliarity with the new recruit Li Yanzhe that Qiu Biao made a last resort.
Of course, another possibility is not ruled out, the drill lineup under the big score lead, in case the situation is not open in the face of strong teams in the future, there are more lineup options.
No matter what the reason, this defeat needs to be summarized by the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and if they want to win the championship, they need to do a lot more.
Compared with the Xinjiang men's basketball team, the game lost by Liaoning basketball is not so difficult to accept. Looking back at the several games lost by the Liaoning men's basketball team this season, most of them were in this way, and the opponent's outside exploded. In this game, the three-point shooting rate of the whole team was as high as 61%, and the foreign aid Lile directly scored 47 points.
The shooting rate of the Liaoning men's basketball team is actually not low, but it still has not soared past the opponent. Zhang Zhenlin's absence also affected the Liaoning men's basketball team to a certain extent, and he usually does the work of defending small foreign aids.
Of course, whether it is the explosive variety of the opponent or the absence of the main players, it is not a reason why the Liaoning men's basketball team should lose.
After winning back-to-back titles, it may be time for their squad to be upgraded. The Xinjiang men's basketball team reacted a little faster than them, and the new foreign aid was basically in place. Maybe the Liaoning men's basketball team has plans in mind, such as waiting for the return of the "little foreign aid".
These are all technical reasons, but what about attitudes? Does frequently letting the opposing team hit high shooting percentage mean that there is a problem with their own defense?
Guangsha, after losing to Nanjing Tongxi, has suffered three consecutive defeats. Their problem is the most obvious, the core Sun Minghui missed a few games, and they lost a few games. Without Sun Minghui's combing, the whole team played in a disorderly manner.
In recent years, Guangsha has always been in the championship cycle, but every year it will miss the championship due to factors such as main injuries or foreign aid. I don't know if this year's Guangsha will expose its shortcomings in the most critical period.
This article is an analysis of the reasons why they lose from the perspective of a strong team, not to say which team should win or which team must lose. Everyone loves to read the script on the following grams, but no one can avoid the objectivity of competitive sports.
Upset has always been a bisexual word, just like yesterday's unpopular night, isn't it an inspirational night?
