Before you know it, the 2023-24 CBA playoffs have kicked off. In the previously concluded 1/4 finals, the Shenzhen team lost to the Liaoning team by a big score away.
Such a result is obviously unacceptable. In the first half, the two teams played back and forth. can enter the second half, the Shenzhen team completely collapsed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. The Liaoning team was full of firepower in the third quarter, and under the leadership of Zhao Jiwei, the Liaoning team outscored the opponent by 25 points in a single quarter.
The Shenzhen team only scored 13 points in a single quarter, and such an offensive performance was really bad. Sallinger only made 1 shot in a single quarter, and the core of the team still performed like this, and the rest of the team members can be imagined. It is worth mentioning that in the last quarter, when the Shenzhen team was 30 points behind, head coach Zheng Yonggang still did not dare to play Sallinger.
So much so that the latter also had emotions and kept complaining on the field. After all, the team has no hope of turning the tables, and in this case, instead of letting the main players consume time on the field, it is better to replace them early and let the main players rest. After all, in the best-of-five series, the Shenzhen team still has a chance to make a comeback.
This Shenzhen team, against Liaoning, has some meaning of being beaten back to its original shape. In the play-offs against Beijing Control, Shenzhen played vigorously inside, but against Liaoning, Shen Zijie and Li Muhao only grabbed 4 rebounds in total.
You must know that these two are ranked best in the domestic center position. Even if Li Muhao's declining state is no longer as brave as he used to be, his height and size still have an advantage among a group of interior players. This Shenzhen team, like a paper tiger, is facing the weak team, and the Shenzhen team strikes hard. But against the strong team, the Shenzhen team is a little powerless.
After the game, many fans sighed: If you knew this, it would be better to let the North Control team enter the playoffs. Indeed, in the regular season, the Beijing Control team and the Liaoning team played back and forth. originally thought that the strong internal strength of the Shenzhen team would create enough trouble for the Liaoning team, but judging from the first round of the encounter, the Shenzhen team is not the opponent of the Liaoning team.
Of course, in a best-of-five series, we can't just play a game. But the difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious, unless the Shenzhen team comes up with 120% of the state, otherwise, it is almost impossible to pass the level of Liaoning.
