Zhou Qi was banned for two games
The matter of Zhou Qi's elbow hitting Li Jinxiao finally had a result, and the CBA league officially announced the punishment, Zhou Qi was banned for two games and fined 100,000 yuan, and Du Feng was jointly and severally liable for a fine of 10,000 yuan. Zhou Qi's importance to the Guangdong men's basketball team is self-evident, the first two games were cut 22 points and 8 rebounds, 21 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, not only Guangdong's defensive barrier, but also the offensive core, rebounding guarantee, without Zhou Qi, Guangdong instantly dropped a notch. The fourth game is still Guangsha's home stadium, and Zhou Qi is banned for two games, which may affect the trend of the series. The result can't be changed, it's useless to say more, and then it depends on how Guangdong adjusts, in fact, when Du Feng finishes the third game, he should be able to guess that Zhou Qi will be banned.
2.26m rising star Xu Xin entered the 12-man squad
In fact, the Guangdong men's basketball team doesn't need to panic, after all, it is still leading 2-1, and Hu Jinqiu of Guangsha still can't play, and Sun Minghui's injury is not good. The turning point of the third game is actually that Zhou Qi was sent out, and Guangdong could not crack the blocking and demolition of Sun Minghui and Okafor, and they all collapsed and lost all the games!
Zhang Mingchi was very tough in the playoffs, averaging 7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 81.8% from the field. In the absence of Zhou Qi, Zhang Mingchi alone is not enough, it is reported that Du Feng will activate Xu Xin and let Xu Xin enter the 12-man squad to replace Zhou Qi. Xu Xin performed well in the regular season, and got beautiful data such as 18+17, 14+11, and 10+15 in a single game. In the playoffs, Xu Xin did not enter the 12-man squad and did not play in three games. In the fourth game, Du Feng must use Xu Xin to top Okafor for a while, Xu Xin's offense is not as good as Zhang Mingchi, but his defense is better than Zhang Mingchi. In addition, Jordan Bell is bound to play longer.
If it weren't for Li Jinxiao's magical play, Guangsha would never have won the third game, and Li Jinxiao also killed Zhou Qi! In fact, the playoffs need strange soldiers to appear, especially when they are passive, and it is impossible to break the routine if they can't win in regular play. Xu Xin, will he become a strange soldier in Guangdong?
