In the matchup between Guangzhou and Qingdao, Yang Hansen's performance became the focus, but unfortunately, his performance did not meet expectations. Coach Guo Shiqiang's tactical adjustments were quite in place, especially in the final quarter, when the Guangzhou team skillfully took advantage of Yang Hansen's defensive shortcomings and successfully opened up the point difference. Among them, the use of blocking and dismantling tactics is particularly crucial.
In the game, Chen Yingjun and Brown created scoring opportunities through blocking and dismantling many times. Yang Hansen appeared incapable on the defensive end, unable to effectively limit opponents, whether from beyond the three-point line or under the basket. Brown, in particular, exploded in the final quarter, whether it was an open shot or a breakaway score, he seemed to be at ease. Young's pace and ability to fight are stretched against a player like Brown.
Guangzhou has made an effective tactical arrangement for Yang Hansen's weaknesses, and whether he goes forward to defend or not, he can find opportunities to score. This tactical arrangement allowed the Guangzhou team to gradually gain an advantage in the score and finally won the game.
For Young, the regular season defensive player of the year and a burst of accolades seemed a bit watery in this game. On the stage of the playoffs, his hidden dangers were fully exposed and exploited by opponents. The lack of autonomy on the offensive end and the fact that the opponent was targeted on the defensive end were really disappointing.
Coach Liu Weiwei is probably speechless in the face of such a situation. He probably didn't expect that Yang's hidden dangers would be so obvious in the playoffs. For the Qingdao team, this game is undoubtedly a warning, and the use of Yang Hansen needs to be considered more carefully in the subsequent games.
