The 39th round of the CBA regular season continued to be contested, with a provincial derby, and the Guangzhou team hosted the Shenzhen team. Before the game, Guangzhou ranked 10th and was on the verge of the playoffs, and Shenzhen ranked 6th, approaching the first group. After 4 quarters of fierce battles, the Guangzhou team defeated the Shenzhen team 109-96 with a wave of climax in the final quarter, and the new recruit Brown cut 34+7.
The two sides have met twice before this season, winning one each. In terms of strength, the Shenzhen team definitely has the upper hand. In the last round of the game, the Shenzhen team defeated the Guangdong team that had suppressed them for many years at home, and the record was tied with the opponent, while winning four consecutive games, it was only one step away from the top four in the regular season, and He Xining scored 44 points to create a career high. It is not easy for the Guangzhou team to keep a 50% win rate without collapsing without sending away the core Li Yanzhe of the inner line.
In terms of starters, Guangzhou's starting five tigers were Chen Yingjun, Brown, Cui Yongxi, Zhu Mingzhen, and Jiao Boqiao, while the Shenzhen team sent Adams, Sun Haoqin, Lu Pengyu, Gu Quan, and Shen Zijie.
In the first quarter of the game, Sun Haoqin and Brown opened the scoring for each autonomous team, and the two sides were evenly matched. After He Xining came off the bench, the Guangzhou team strengthened its defense against him, resulting in He Xining basically having no chance to shoot. Sun Haoqin, who was let go, broke out and scored 10 points in a single quarter. However, in contrast, the Guangzhou team blossomed more, with a wave of 8-0 in the middle of the first quarter and a 33-28 lead. In the second quarter, the situation changed abruptly, and the Guangzhou team played the game one-sided. The Shenzhen team's defense had problems, Jiao Poqiao's point was frequently missed, and Brown and Kemp took turns to bomb. The Shenzhen team was completely dumb on the offensive end, and the Guangzhou team played a wave of 34-17 in a single quarter, leading 67-45 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Yibian fought again, and the score difference was once stretched to 24 points, and the Shenzhen team fell into a desperate situation. However, the Shenzhen team did not give up, Adams and Shen Zijie fired inside and outside, and He Xining stopped the Guangzhou team with a three-point bloody throat shot. After the timeout, the Guangzhou team's offense was still constipated, and Gu Quan's three-point shot brought the difference back to single digits. Zhu Ming shook the whistle to stop the bleeding, and the Guangzhou team led the Shenzhen team 83-73 into the final quarter. In the final quarter, I originally thought that the Shenzhen team would be able to catch up under the leadership of foreign aid and several national players, but I didn't want the Shenzhen team to collapse directly. In the last 3 minutes, the difference was still 10 points, and the Shenzhen team had hope. However, in the next two minutes, the Guangzhou team extended the difference to 20 points with a wave of 10-0 and took the game away.

After this match, Guangzhou finished the first two stages of the competition with a record of 20 wins and 19 losses and ranked 10th. Although it did not enter the top eight, I believe that the fans should be satisfied, after all, the Guangzhou team operates on a small scale and is not strong on paper. In the past two years, Guo Shiqiang finally cultivated Li Yanzhe, and was sent away by the management. In this way, the Guangzhou team still persevered, and double-defeated the Shenzhen team, a powerhouse in the same province. There is no doubt that Guo Shiqiang brought out an iron-blooded team.
