In the 1/4 finals of the CBA playoffs, the third round of the game continued, and the Guangzhou team, which was 0:2 behind, returned to the home court to face the Xinjiang team.

In this game, the Guangzhou team started from the defensive end and strengthened the protection of rebounding, the most obvious contrast is that from the first game of rebounding 27 to Xinjiang 27, to the basic flat in this game. The other is to strengthen the defensive intensity of the outside, and the Xinjiang team only hit 26% of three-point shots in this game, and only shot 8 three-pointers. Another factor in Xinjiang's loss will be the poor free-throw shooting percentage, with only 60% of the 25-of-25 free throws in the game.
The Guangzhou team suppressed the Xinjiang team throughout the game, and the score was always in the lead, although the coach of the Xinjiang team, Qiu Biao, also made adjustments to the lineup, but the Guangzhou team did not give the Xinjiang team a chance at all.
Guangzhou's guard pair was the key to the win, with Brown scoring 37 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals, while Chen Yingjun had 23 points, four rebounds and three assists. Also outstanding was young player Choi Yong-hee, who scored 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting.
All three of Guangdong's teams have reached the quarterfinals of the playoffs this season, and the current situation is different. The first to be eliminated was the Shenzhen team, which lost to the Liaoning team by 98 points in three games. The series between Guangdong and Guangsha was originally not very suspenseful, but because of Zhou Qi's ban, it became confusing who would win in the end. The Guangzhou team, which is the weakest on paper, dared to fight under the leadership of Coach Guo Shiqiang, and impressed everyone with a 22-point victory.
Judging from the results of the team in recent seasons, Coach Guo Shiqiang's coaching level can be said to be the only one among the active domestic coaches. Leading a strong team can win the championship, and leading a weak team can overcome it!
