For Zhejiang Guangsha, even if the away team loses two in a row, the best-of-five system still has a chance to successfully turn the tables. The premise is that all players must be healthy, and Wang Bo can do a large rotation. It's a pity that in the second game of the quarterfinals against the Guangdong team, Sun Minghui's mistake of 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the final quarter not only lost a key opportunity to overtake the score, but also worsened that Hu Jinqiu, as the absolute inner core of the Guangsha team, stepped on Zhou Qi's foot when he landed in the process of grabbing rebounds in this game, causing Wei's foot to be directly helped to the locker room and completely exited. This is undoubtedly the most serious damage to the team, once Hu Jinqiu is unable to play in the third game, even if he returns to the home field, it may be very difficult for the Guangsha team to achieve a big equalizer.
In the first quarter of the game, Wang Bo guided the domestic players in the starting lineup Hu Jinqiu, Zhu Junlong, Sun Minghui and Wu Xiao, and only replaced the small foreign aid Witherspoon with Floyd. But this did not change the team's slow heat, after being beaten 4:0 by the Guangdong team at the beginning, with Sun Minghui scoring 5 points in a row, the score was chased into a 5:5 draw. There was even a brief overtake after that, but I didn't expect the Guangsha team to suffer a scoring drought again on the offensive end. At 7 minutes and 16 seconds, the two teams were tied at 10:10, but in the next nearly 3 minutes, Guangdong team played a wave of 8:0 small climax, after that, it seemed very difficult for the Guangsha team to score every time. In the end, at the end of the first quarter, although the Guangsha team was not as far away as the first game, it also trailed the Guangdong team by 11 points at 19:30. In fact, judging from the starting lineup under the guidance of Wang Bo and the reduction of rotation players throughout the game, this game is very much hoped that the team will take away a game away from home, but it backfires, the more eager to win, the more difficult it is for the team to play a smooth attack.
All 12 players were featured in the 12-man squad for this game, but the team was already dragged down by foreign players in the first game, and Floyd was not used again for less than 10 minutes in the first game. Witherspoon in this game is not even as good as Floyd in the last game, only played 5 minutes and 31 seconds before completely abandoned, rather than this, the 12-man squad is really better to give domestic players one more chance, after all, they can do the best on the defensive end. Especially the young players Wang Xinrui and Duan Liqian, who are better at the defensive end of the regular season, can not only stimulate the fighting spirit and confidence of young players, but more importantly, let foreign players also understand that they will not get any chance to play if they play abnormally. Although Director Wang Bo did the same in this game, the foreign aid in the squad had a feeling of "who else should I be", so even if the game was not good, the team would still be inseparable from itself in the next game. This is really an invisible loss for the Guangsha team.
Although the Guangdong team was almost in the lead from beginning to end of the game, the Guangsha team was not without a chance to overtake or even win the game. The reason why there is a phenomenon of inability to return to the sky is that the team has really been using players, especially the main players, for a long time. The most obvious is the inside rotation, if Li Jinxiao is the main No. 4 position, then Xu Zhonghao, as a standard inside line, can be used as a substitute in the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the third quarter and the beginning of the last quarter to help Hu Jinqiu or Wu Xiao transition, at least let the two get a certain amount of relaxation. After all, although Xu Zhonghao's height and interior confrontation ability cannot completely limit Zhou Qi's play, at least it will not be so easy for Zhou Qi to score on the inside. But Wang Bo seems to be reluctant to give Xu Zhonghao more opportunities, Xu Zhonghao is indeed slow, especially in the anti-blocking and dismantling cooperation, will become the key breakthrough target of the Guangdong team. But when Wu Xiao committed 5 fouls in the last quarter, there were 5 minutes and 2 seconds left in the game, and the team only trailed by 6 points at 87:93, Guangsha had every chance to complete the overtake in the last 5 minutes.
Although Wu Xiao only got 4 points and 7 rebounds in this game, for the Guangsha team, especially when the team lacks an inside player like Hu Jinqiu, Wu Xiao should be properly protected and used in the last two or three minutes. But Director Wang Bo did not choose to let Wu Xiao come down to make a short adjustment, but continued to let him confront Zhou Qi on the court. You must know that Coach Du Feng is the best at causing trouble to the opponent's players according to the situation, and Wu Xiao has been in a passive situation in the process of defending Zhou Qi, such an opportunity Coach Du Feng will never miss easily. After all, Hu Jinqiu has already left the game due to injury, once Wu Xiao was forced to leave the game due to 6 fouls. Then, the inside door of the Guangsha team can be said to be completely opened, and any player has the opportunity to create a kill in the inside line of the Guangsha team. As expected, in just 33 seconds, Wu Xiao suffered another foul crisis in one of Zhou Qi's layups, and was forced to leave the court after 6 fouls. At this time, as the head coach of the Guangsha team, Wang Bo was forced to replace the veteran Xu Zhonghao, but at this time, the team was already 89:98 behind the Guangdong team by 9 points.
In fact, Wang Bo's guidance in the playoffs is really too cautious, as the first round of the playoffs against the Shanxi team, Sun Minghui was absent from the game, as a substitute Although the permission did not show much eye-catching data, but since he appeared in the squad, it is still okay to play for about 10 minutes. Especially when Xu Jie is on the court, the allowable height can be completely opposed, and Sun Minghui has already faced a foul crisis in the first quarter of this game. In most cases, they relied on the help of their teammates to assist in the defense, which made the Guangsha team very passive in the process of the Guangdong team's rapid counterattack. Especially for Hu Mingxuan and Waters, Sun Minghui basically shook it, and as a result, the two of them easily scored under the basket. What's more important is that when the game reached the last 6 minutes, the Guangsha team was only 1 point behind the Guangdong team at 87:88, and the ball was in the hands of the Guangsha team, as long as it scored 3 points or 2 points, the Guangsha team would overtake the score, so that the psychological advantage was absolutely superior.
It's a pity that when Sun Minghui carelessly let Waters directly complete the steal and complete the layup during the online ball holding. This also completely extinguished the desire of the Guangsha team to tie the score or even complete the overtake. Next, the team as a whole seemed a little careless both offensively and defensively, and there was no determination and fighting spirit to win the opponent again. In the end, the big score was completed by the Guangdong team to complete the 2:0 lead, once Hu Jinqiu can not play at home next, then, this season's Guangsha team's championship dream will be shattered again.
