Wang Bo found some-for-tat strategy with the Guangdong men's basketball team in the second game, and the team gradually mastered the initiative on the court from the second quarter. Their main problem is that the strength of small foreign aid is weak, which leads to the over-reliance on Sun Minghui in the back line. After Okafor came on the court, Guangsha once played an inside advantage. Okafor even had the upper hand in the process of aligning with Zhou Qi.
In fact, from the very beginning of the game, Guangsha showed the determination to win. They sacrificed a joint defense from the first quarter, so that Guangdong's offense was not so fluid. While the opponent improved the quality of defense, Du Feng solved this problem in his own way. He has 2 defenders with strong solution strength, that is, Waters and Hu Mingxuan.
In the first quarter, Waters scored 10 points in a single quarter. In the case of the opponent's joint defense, he directly hit the accelerator to the end, and before the opponent formed a circle, he had already completed the score. His style of play is simple and effective, so that Wang Bo's strategy can only be fruitless.
In the crucial second quarter, after the Guangsha men's basketball team got up, Guangdong was actually very passive. If it is not handled well, there is a high chance that the team will simply overturn. At this juncture, Hu Mingxuan stood up. As the leader of the team, he used four three-pointers to help the team break the opponent's joint defense when the offense with the ball was completely locked.
The pair combined for 47 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists. Their explosive performance is the key to Guangdong's victory. From the process of the game, we can see the determination of these two core players to hit the championship. Waters was originally a very easy little outsider, and as long as the opponent found a way to provoke him, he would fall into the trap of his opponent.
He spent a lot of technical fouls and physical infractions in the regular season, but he was transformed in the second half of the season. In this match, he was brought down many times by Sun Minghui and Floyd. After falling to the ground, he slowed down for a moment before getting up. After being deliberately injured by Xu Zhonghao, he did not go to any entanglement.
Waters' change is an important bargaining chip for the Guangdong men's basketball team to compete for the championship. He was horribly calm on the field. In the second half, the opponent obviously deliberately used large-scale fouls to make his emotions fluctuate. But Waters is different now, these traps are not working for him, and he can be considered for a contract extension in the offseason. He's a great fit for Guangdong and he's also able to help young players grow.
And the team's new leader, Hu Mingxuan, performed remarkably well in this game. He shot 5-of-17 from the field and scored five goals, four of which were three-pointers. The stats give a sense of the defensive pressure he faces. When Floyd stepped forward to provoke, Hu Mingxuan's domineering eyes let fans see a real leader. Don't care what your opponent is doing, focus on the game.
