In the first round of the playoffs, the Shenzhen team had a home court advantage, and the Beijing Control team was a little caught off guard by the 8:0 lead at the beginning, but at the end of the first quarter, the situation was reversed by the Beijing Control team to surpass 3 points at 32:29, and even the Shenzhen team was tired throughout the first half. However, in the second half, the style of painting abruptly changed, the offensive end of the North Control team was blocked, and the final quarter was almost always in the chasing stage, but even so, the North Control team still had the hope of killing. It's a pity that in the last 8 seconds of the game, the North Control team not only did not choose to pause, but also unexpectedly made a passing error, and as a result, it missed the game that had the hope of equalizing or even killing, and finally lost the good situation with a difference of 4 points of 102:106. What's even more incomprehensible is that Min Lulei, as the head coach of this game, has always insisted on using an 8-man rotation, and this kind of obsessive trust may be the main reason why the Beijing Control team was unable to return to the sky in the end.
In fact, the reason why the Beijing Control team was able to enter the playoffs this season is indeed inseparable from the arrival of Min Lulei's guidance, and it is inseparable from Min Lulei's employment adjustment, on-the-spot adaptation, and technical and tactical adjustment. But sometimes I have to admit that Min Lulei's guidance is really stubborn, and the rigidity of employing people is really incomprehensible. Although this game is an away game, and in the face of the Shenzhen team's 5 starters seem to be at a loss, after all, the big foreign aid Salinjie, the veteran Zhou Peng, the national team players He Xining, Lu Pengyu and Sun Haoqin not only have strong defensive ability, but also the flexibility on the offensive end makes the players of the Beijing Control team a little unbearable. The inside line can complete a solo fight, and the outside line has the ability to shoot three-pointers, so the opening game is close to 2 minutes and plays an 8:0. The starting 5 of the Beijing Control team, Zhang Fan, Meng Zikai, Zou Yuchen, Field and Liu Xiaoyu, not only couldn't score themselves, but also couldn't prevent the opponent's attack. Coupled with the disadvantages of the away game, it was not until 10 minutes and 25 seconds into the opening game that the scoring drought was broken for the team through the free throws of small foreign player Field.
According to the overall strength, the Shenzhen team should be above the North Control team, but both teams had accidents before the playoffs, and the small foreign aid of the Shenzhen team seems to be difficult to adapt to the team's offensive and defensive rhythm, so even if it appears in the 12-man squad, Zheng Yonggang, as the head coach, has not given any chance to play. On the side of the North Control team, the small foreign aid Lile was absent due to injury, which is undoubtedly the biggest damage to the North Control team, the big foreign aid Sampson was not attack-oriented, and the only reliance was Field and Riller. Therefore, this game can only rely more on Field to open up the situation for the team, even so, the North Control team turned the situation around at the end of the first quarter in an unfavorable situation, turned the score into 32:29 to complete the overtake, and maintained this advantage until the end of the first half. Although the Beijing Control team trailed the Shenzhen team by 1 point 27:28 in the second quarter, the Beijing Control team was still in the lead in the first half overall. This also gave the North Control team hope and confidence to complete the following grams away from home.
But what I didn't expect was that the North Control team in the second half again appeared at the beginning of the unfavorable situation, although the defensive end has improved, only let the Shenzhen team get 23 points, but the offensive side of the North Control team seems to have been in a passive state, the entire third quarter of the North Control team only scored 16 points, only one quarter behind the Shenzhen team 7 points, this time the advantage established in the first half is gone. Although the North Control team has been constantly narrowing the score gap in the last quarter, it seems that it is always one breath away and has never been able to complete the surpass. Although the Beijing Control team led the Shenzhen team by 1 point at 27:26 in the last quarter, the gap that was opened in the third quarter was a bit big, and the Beijing Control team still lost the game with a gap of 4 points at the end of the game. To be exact, it was a two-point deficit to lose the game, and the last two points were fouls caused by Zhang Fan's mistakes that caused the veteran Gu Quan to hit both free throws, which ultimately completely changed the trend of the game. For the North Control team, it is a pity to lose this game, in addition to the rebounding is not as good as the opponent, the main thing is that the opportunity to miss the stunner in personnel adjustment.
Although the small foreign aid Lile of the Beijing Control team missed the game due to injury, Yu Changdong, who has very rich playoff experience in the 12-man squad, Jin Xin, who was introduced from the Tianjin team in the offseason, and Lin Yanting, who was obtained in the draft, did not get any chance to play. This may be the main reason for the team's eventual defeat.
The North Control team didn't have any problems on both offensive and defensive ends in the first half, and the overall rotation was not bad. But there seems to be a problem with the positioning of the players. First of all, Zhang Fan, as the outside three-point shooter of the Beijing Control team, has always been the team's main scoring point, and it is basically based on fixed-point shooters. It is rare to see it take the initiative to attack with the ball throughout the season, but in this game, Zhang Fan changed his previous style of play, and at least 2 times after getting the ball, he first chose to attack with the ball, rather than taking the ball and shooting immediately, such opportunities are outside the three-point line. It's not that he couldn't shoot, but Zhang Fan chose to attack with the ball, and as a result, he made two consecutive dribble errors, causing the opponent to get a direct opportunity to counterattack directly and successfully score. At this time, Min Lulei's guidance was also suspended, and the first thing that should be clear is Zhang Fan's point, which can be received, even if he can't find a suitable opportunity, he can at least attract a defensive player to the opponent. It's best not to attack with the ball as a way to reduce mistakes. But the North Control team doesn't seem to have chosen to change.
The second is that the North Control team is a bit too conservative in the use of interior players. Originally, Yu Changdong has always played the No. 5 position, although his height and confrontation are not as good as the Shenzhen team's Salinjie and Shen Zijie, but he is also a little stronger than the pure No. 4 position like Meng Zikai! Moreover, Yu Changdong has basket skills and outside three-point projection ability. Although it is not as good as Meng Zikai's outside three-point, Meng Zikai's hand in this game is really not flattering, and he shot 0 of 4 outside in the whole game. It's really better to let Yu Changdong partner Wang Shaojie to play the inside, which can not only allow Wang Shaojie to play back to his comfortable No. 4 position, but also help the Beijing Control team keep the advantage of rebounding. But Min Lulei's guidance did not give Yu Changdong any chance. The other is Lin Yanting, the guard line of the North Control Team Liao Sanning made 5 mistakes, Zhang Fan made 4 mistakes, and Field rarely had the opportunity to break through the inside line, Lin Yanting, as a player on the guard line, although he is a rookie, he is not at a loss at all on the defensive end. It was perfectly possible to give it a try, but I didn't get 1 minute of playing time.
Finally, the main scoring points of the Shenzhen team are He Xining, Salinjie and Shen Zijie, and in the end, He Xining received 6 fouls and had to regret the rest. In fact, as the absolute scoring point of the Shenzhen team, Sallinger has already received 5 fouls in the last quarter of 8 minutes and 15 seconds, and then Min Lulei should make targeted arrangements, as long as Sallinger is made 6 fouls and leaves, the Beijing Control team is basically equivalent to accepting the game. After all, it is difficult for the Shenzhen team to open up the situation at other points, but in the next 8 minutes or so, the Beijing Control team did not make 1 foul on Sallinger, and this game has been full of 5 fouls on Sallinger. What's more, Sallinger alone got 33 points, 20 rebounds, and handed out 8 assists and 2 steals, which may be the most wrong choice for the North Control team. In addition, in the last 8 seconds, in fact, the Beijing Enterprises team could have called a timeout to arrange it, and better completed the 3-point kill or equalized the overtime, but Min Lulei did not choose to pause, and Zhang Fan's mistake at the last critical moment completely made the Beijing Enterprises team's entire efforts in vain.
The Beijing Control team, which could have taken the lead in getting the match point, had to reluctantly return to the home court because of their stubbornness.
