In the fourth game of the CBA playoffs 8-in-4, Shanghai defeated Zhejiang 112-107 and tied 2-2. In fact, Shanghai played relatively easily in this game, but there was laxity in the last quarter, allowing Zhejiang to continue to chase points. But in terms of the general trend, Liu Peng's adjustment of this game is a crushing situation compared to Wang Shilong.
Among them, in terms of defensive strategy, Liu Peng obviously began to pay attention to Zhejiang's outside line. It is worth mentioning that when G3 lost, they had been insisting on defending Zhejiang's inner line, which led to Zhejiang's outside line running wild, Liu Peng's strain slowed down for a while, and finally caused Zhejiang to win G3. In this game, Liu Peng obviously began to limit Zhejiang's outside line, which also made Zhejiang make mistakes throughout the game, and the three-point shooting rate was very bad. In this trend, Liu Peng completely dominated the defense.
Of course, in addition to the defensive end, Liu Peng also made two major changes on the offensive end. In this game, Wang Zhelin broke out, Liu Peng did not let Wang Zhelin go to the first five blocks, but relied on Wang Zhelin's personal ability to single Yu Jiahao. Because Yu Jiahao's speed and confrontation are not good, Wang Zhelin can basically score easily when he is in the right position.
Of course, in addition to this strategy, Liu Peng will also try to let other players fall out of Yu Jiahao and restrict him from entering the inside line. Because his footsteps are not good, this also makes Wang Zhelin frequently win frontcourt rebounds under the basket, which is a huge supplement to the team's offense.
So as far as this season is concerned, Liu Peng's progress is still very great. We don't talk about his development of young players, but the whole series has been very good and the overall response has been very good. According to this trend, in fact, Liu Peng will continue to coach in Shanghai, and indeed his strength has been fully demonstrated.
