Zhejiang East Sunshine broke out a big upset at home, defeating the Guangdong South China Tigers with a 106-102 reversal, the key turning point of the game, that is, Guangdong's big man Zhou Qi suddenly lost control and gave Li Jinxiao a "warm hug", the result was not a glass of wine, but was directly sent off, and this good show was staged!
Here's the thing, originally according to the script, the Guangdong team should be stable and good things to grind, and smoothly advance to the next round. But who would have thought that Zhou Qi became emotionally out of control in the third quarter of the game because of a pinch shot, and that elbow went down, not only Li Jinxiao's face "blossomed", but also made the flower of hope of the Zhejiang team bloom! The referee didn't plan to punish much at first, and probably felt that this was a small episode, but the Guangsha coaching staff insisted on a replay, and the result was that no, Zhou Qi's big move had to be said to be a bit excessive, and he was directly sent off with a red card.
What do you say is wrong with Zhou Qi? It was originally good, but I had to stage this "I didn't mean it." In fact, after joining the Guangdong team, Zhou Qi's style has indeed changed a lot, people say that close to Zhu Zhechi, Zhou Qi may be "infected" by his teammates. Zhou Qi, who used to be quiet and quiet, now occasionally has to be a little "surprised", but this time it is really too strong.
The game was originally a sure thing for the Guangdong team, but as soon as Zhou Qi was out, the rules of the game changed. The Zhejiang team seized the opportunity and succeeded in chasing points in a wave. Zhao Yanhao's three three-pointers were simply a lifesaver, and a fire ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. The CBA's Curry showed his killer nature at critical moments, and those three points were really valuable.
And Li Jinxiao, in addition to being elbowed in this game, is really indispensable. He not only scored 19 points himself, but also worked hard to defend Zhou Qi. It may be that this "agitation method" completely angered Zhou Qi, but it turned out to make the Zhejiang team pull back a city. It seems that Li Jinxiao is not only a scorer, but also a good "psychological warrior".
On the Guangdong team's side, after losing Zhou Qi, it obviously felt like a deflated ball, and it suddenly lost that energy. Although Hu Mingxuan still tried to stabilize the situation, Zhao Yanhao's consecutive three points on the opposite side were like a fatal blow, and the Guangdong team could only watch the score be reversed. Zhou Qi's absence is not only a few fewer rebounds and scores, but also a psychological blow to the team.
Seeing this, I have to sigh, the Zhejiang team is really hard-boned, and the main wounded soldiers can still fight so tenaciously. Hu Jinqiu is injured like that, and other injured players are still persevering, Coach Wang Bo said well, it all depends on the unity of the team and the hard work of the players. No, the Guangdong team may face last year's nightmare again, and the lead is being eroded little by little.
In short, this match is not just a battle for victory, but more like a battle of wills. If Zhou Qi is really suspended, it will definitely be a big blow to the Guangdong team. However, who can say for sure what happened on the basketball court? In the next game, more suspense and stories are still to come, let's wait and see!
