Today's CBA playoffs 12-in-8 series ushered in the final matchup, Shanghai hosts Beijing, and the victory of both sides will determine the last quarterfinals of this season's playoffs. In the end, the game ended, Beijing lost to Shanghai 98-118, and the big score was 1-2. It is worth mentioning that throughout the game, all the players of the Shanghai team scored, and finally defeated Beijing to advance to the top 8.
In this round of the playoffs, Beijing has suffered large-scale injuries, especially foreign aid, although it has the configuration of three foreign aids, but because Booker and Leaf are suffering from injuries, they can only fight with Keane alone, for the CBA team, the absence of foreign aid has reduced the overall strength of the team by more than half, and there is a strength gap with the Shanghai men's basketball team, so the final exit is also caused by strength.
After the series, Beijing locked up 11th overall for the season, which was their worst ranking since 09-10 (15th in 09-10). At the same time, this is also the first time that the same city team Beijing Enterprises has surpassed Beijing in the ranking since entering the CBA.
Although Shanghai is a 20-point victory, the two sides still played very heavy in this game, especially in the last quarter of the game, the two sides also broke out in conflict, Fang Shuo was fouled by Liu Zheng and stepped forward to theorize, and then Dai Hao and Fang Shuo Zeng Fanbo clashed, and then was pulled away by teammates. It is worth mentioning that the relevant reporters also captured the moment when Dai Hao was choked by Fang Shuo's neck at the scene.
After the referee watched the replay, Dai Hao, Zeng Fanbo, Fang Shuo, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Zhu Yanxi were all seized of power. Interestingly, after the four people in Beijing were seized power, it was confirmed that it was not only Zhai Xiaochuan, Zhu Yanxi, Fang Shuo, Zeng Fanbo, and Fan Yiming who were seized of power in the conflict, and a total of 5 people were seized of power in Beijing, and there were only two people left on the team bench in the end.
The loss of the playoffs in several seasons proves that Beijing's championship model must be changed, and you must know that the team's foreign aid allocation is basically the league's top three foreign aid configuration, which is better than most teams in the league. This also further verifies that if the team wants to get back on track to compete for the championship, then it must carry out a major change in the lineup, and after the game, many media people also expressed their views.
The aging of the team's lineup and the lack of fresh blood can be described as a state of inadequacy, which has made this giant team that has won three championships in four years gradually fade out of the first echelon of the league. The relevant media even bluntly said that it is time for the team's management to make a change, so that those players in the team who do not meet the CBA standards will leave the team when they should leave.
Let's talk about Zeng Fanbo, one of the few young players in the team, it can be said that Zeng Fanbo's starting point before entering the CBA should be the highest among the same batch of young players in China, and he is the most likely to impact the NBA's new generation of local players, but Zeng Fanbo, who has played two CBA seasons, has fallen too far behind, averaging 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in the regular season this season, and participated in the 3 playoff games, playing only 19.3 minutes per game, and only able to get 7.3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.7 blocks. Now when fans watch Zeng Fanbo's performance on the court, the only thing that can cause cheers is the few block shots in each game.
Many people are questioning the rotation of the team's coaching staff, and in the eyes of the outside world, since there are such talented young players, why can't they be given enough opportunities, and there are even many calls to encourage Zeng Fanbo to leave the team. In short, if this former giant wants to return to the road of contention, it must make drastic changes to the local lineup.
Finally, with Shanghai locking the last quarterfinals, all the next 8 into 4 matches are also determined, namely Liaoning vs Shenzhen, Xinjiang vs Guangzhou, Zhejiang vs Shanghai, Guangdong vs Guangsha
