The healthy Zhou Qi is omnipotent under the basket, and he makes the Guangsha inside line suffer. But in the second encounter, Wang Bo tried to use Okafor to beat Zhou Qi, and this trick really worked. Once Zhou Qi's advantage point loses the threat, the Guangdong men's basketball team will become very passive. In both games, Guangdong suffered in the second quarter. After 2 attempts, Wang Bo already had some countermeasures in mind.
In the third encounter, Guangsha will most likely focus on Zhou Qi. Weaken the inside advantage of the Guangdong team, and then entangle Waters and Hu Mingxuan on the outside, and Guangdong will become difficult to play. In the second round, Zhou Qi blasted 21 points and 17 rebounds, and he relied on his own strength to defend the inside line for Guangdong.
He lasted 30 minutes in this battle, and his physical consumption was huge. Next, when Hu Jinqiu is seriously injured and unable to play, Wang Bo will definitely use Okafor to continue to attack Zhou Qi. Zhang Mingchi and Bale did not play well in this game. Zhang Mingchi scored a tough 2+1 in the first quarter, and then fell silent.
Bale played 10 minutes and had three turnovers. Only Zhou Qi is stable enough on the inside. It is obviously not okay to rely too much on Zhou Qi, and then Bell must be allowed to go up to top it. When the opponent is on Okafor, Zhang Mingchi can be allowed to partner with Bale on the court. Use Zhang Mingchi to withstand the opponent, and Bell is waiting for the opportunity to assist in defense, which will have a certain power on the defensive end of the interior combination.
Judging from the playoffs, Hu Mingxuan and Zhou Qi are the two most stable scoring points in Guangdong. The two teamed up to score 40 points, which is comparable to the power of the internal and external cores. Xu Jie, Du Runwang and others are easy to get lost when the opponent increases their defensive intensity. In the first game, Xu Jie broke out in the third quarter, and in the second game, he was completely out of shape.
Du Runwang is overly reliant on three-point shots, and when his hand is cold, he can't shoot three-point shots, and the defensive end will become a colander. In the second game, several of Guangdong's main players were actually more stable in Waters, Zhou Qi and Hu Mingxuan. They are very level-headed, and no matter how big the opponent moves, they don't bother with the opponent.
It is indeed not easy for Zhou Qi to fight the inner line group of Guangsha alone, and Zhang Mingchi and Bell need to stand up and share his worries. In these two games in Guangdong, the more gratifying thing is that there are strange soldiers who stand up in 2 consecutive games. The first game was Zhang Mingchi and Huang Mingyi, and the second game was Zhang Haojia, which is a good phenomenon.
In the crucial third game, the team traveled lightly, forgot about the previous score, and played as the first game. But when the main center changes from Hu Jinqiu to Okafor, or even Xu Zhonghao, Guangdong needs to have more inside lines to stand up and share the pressure on Zhou Qi at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
