Have it?
No!
This can be there!
This one really doesn't have ......
In the 2009 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang pulled to the limit and created the Spring Festival Gala stage so far may be the last phenomenon-level famous stalk, which has been passed down to this day. But after that, he gradually disappeared from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and people were surprised to find that it was not that the threshold for sketches was high, it might be that we were too tricky.
The same is true for the CBA playoffs, where there have been so many exciting matchups in the past two seasons, but the consecutive sweeps in the finals are difficult to equalize. The fans scoffed and thought about it repeatedly, whether it was that the two sides did not work hard, or that Liaoyue was too charming.
Wait over and over again, retreat to the second, 23-24 season playoffs, Liaoyue War will return for a limited time, this matchup can really be had!
In Shenyang on May Day, it will probably be more than 20 degrees of weather, and the cool early summer will not feel manic, but the stands of the Liaoning Stadium must be a different scene. The hustle and bustle of the mountains and rivers of Golden Week may be like a spring breeze there, because at that time, the "best rival in the history of the CBA", the hottest Chinese basketball IP in recent years, the Liaoyue War, will start there.
If you want to write about the Liaoyue War, you can't just write about the Liaoyue War.
It is necessary to write a magnificent history of the growth of Chinese men's basketball talents.
Liaoning, the "eldest son of the Republic", is the first talent province in China's men's basketball team. Nearly half of the coaches in the CBA are from Liaoning, and if the total number of Liaoning players in the CBA's annual player statistics is not the first, it may be more interesting than when they were the first. 94, 96, 08, there has never been a shortage of faces of Liaoning players in any golden era of national teams in the history of Chinese men's basketball. In the first year of the CBA, in the playoffs of the 95-96 season, Guo Shiqiang, Wu Naiqun, Wu Qinglong, Li Xiaoyong, Zheng Yonggang, Jiejun, Wang Shouqiang and others who experienced the first Liaoyue war later became famous basketball celebrities or coaches.
Guangdong, which is at the forefront of reform and opening up, is a major basketball province in China, and that is another scenery. In the first Liaoyue War, Li Chunjiang was from Liaoning, Huang Yunlong was from Fujian, Guan Deyou and Fan Lichen (Fan Ziming's father) were from Jilin, Daniel Zhang Jun was from Hubei, Song Xi and Ouyang Guijing were from Guangdong, Ma Yongzhong was from Hebei, and Li Qun was from Heilongjiang...... Basketball people from all over the world came here to open up, and finally cultivated a fertile soil. In the future, the flowers that grow here will bloom in the Chinese men's basketball team from generation to generation, such as Zhu Fangyu in Guangxi, Du Feng in Xinjiang, Wang Shipeng and Zhou Peng in Liaoning, Zhao Rui in Heilongjiang, Yi Jianlian in Guangdong, Ren Junfei in Shanxi, etc., and the flow of basketball talents in the southeast coast will always be vibrant.
It is necessary to write about the ups and downs of society and the history of basketball development.
The spring breeze blows at sea level, from south to north. Basketball is the epitome of economic and social development, after 1995 in China, standing at the forefront of the times in Guangdong, is an enviable land of wealth, laid-off Li Chunjiang regained the fire of basketball here, and by the way, the Chinese basketball world was lit. Guangdong, a team established by a private enterprise, has been running wild since the first year of the CBA, disrupting the league layout with a dark horse attitude. Although it lost in the next two playoff battles against Liaoyue, Guangdong has become the unshakable king of the CBA for more than ten years since the beginning of the 99-00 season. Three consecutive playoff encounters, including the first meeting between the two sides in the finals in the 07-08 season, Guangdong won the championship without blood. Guangdong, embracing the spring breeze, is the most proud team in the past 30 years, and it is a place that countless people yearn for.
The decline of the old industrial area is the tears of the times, and Liaoning basketball in the old system is undoubtedly emotional. Li Chunjiang, who was forced to be laid off, is just a small example of this, and countless Liaoning basketball people who want to leave but don't want to leave, are struggling in the middle ground of silence and outbursts. At the beginning of the league, they were able to play against Bayi for three consecutive years, but in the following ten years, the loss of talent, the team's downfall, they did not have a championship, and even relied on good luck to barely avoid relegation. Liaoning's road to the championship was extremely bumpy, until they won the first championship in team history in 2018, and the system was still a hot topic of discussion for this team. The arrival of the Liaoning Dynasty is the flying of basketball in the land of Liaoning, and it is not the new life of the old industrial area.
It is necessary to write the magnificent history of the evolution of the Chinese men's basketball professional league.
The first year of the CBA piled up by 12 teams is the prelude to the professional reform of the Chinese men's basketball league, and the Liaoyue battle between the private team Guangdong and the institutional team Liaoning is just a chance to compete with the army team Bayi. More than ten years later, when the Liaoyue Battle started in the finals for the first time in the 07-08 season, the story was completely different. Bayi played the last finals in team history the year before, the wheels of the times are rolling forward, army basketball has become a thing of the past, and the overture of Liaoyue seems to be starting at this time.
More than ten years later, in the 19-20 season, the Liaoyue War met again in the finals, and at this time, Bayi, the last team of the CBA that was outside the market economy, had actually completely bid farewell to the professional league. Guangdong, which is in mature operation, and Liaoning, which is in the process of brewing reform, have opened a new round of Liaoning-Guangdong war, and although Liaoning has lost twice in a row, it has not sunk again, but opened their own dynasty era.
When the 22-23 season won the championship, the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government sent a congratulatory message for the first time, and this season, that is, the Liaoyue War on January 1, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee came to the scene to watch the game. Liaoning basketball has gone through the most difficult struggle period, not only in every stadium can see neat "1234, I love Liaoning basketball" fans, in every team there are Liaoning players who say "I also have a sister accent", but from the root, they finally explored a new "mixed system", that is, the government, enterprises, society "three supports" development model, for the CBA league to provide another way to be studied.
The early summer wind is intoxicating, but it is not a beautiful meeting. Thirty years, with a flick of his fingers, ask where to smile at the sky. There were many people and things in the Liaoyue War, fighting, winning and losing, verbal battles, and even abuse, slander, and conflicts, but in the end, they all joined hands and became a part of history.
Last year today, the scenery was different. Guangdong was eliminated 2-1 in the playoffs by Guangsha led by Sun Minghui, so Liaoyue missed the duel in the semifinals for the fourth consecutive year. As a result, Liaoyue also missed the CBA historical record of hitting the Xinjiang and Guangdong battles, which had played in at least the playoffs in the semifinals for five consecutive years.
In fact, as early as the last time they met, they had broken a series of records, which was enough to be called "the best rival in CBA history".
In the semifinals of the 21-22 season, the Liaoyue battle was staged for three consecutive years, and that series was the 10th meeting between Liaoyue in the history of the CBA playoffs, surpassing the 9 "military-Guangdong battles" between Guangdong and Bayi, and becoming a group of rivals with the most playoff encounters in CBA history. At the same time, Liaoyue also surpassed the 7 times of the Junyue War with 8 meetings at least in the semifinals of the playoffs.
After that round of the series, the two sides were tied 5-5 in the playoffs. But are they the best rivals in CBA history?
Big data doesn't seem to be so easy to get them through. The final game of that series was the 88th meeting between the two sides, which in the not-so-long history of the CBA, sounds like a number that is hard to beat considering that there have been a maximum of two regular season games in a long time, but it is not. Although Bayi had already left the CBA for two seasons at that time, the record of 92 "military-Guangdong battles" created by Guangdong and Bayi was not broken until the last Liaoyue battle in the regular season this season, that is, the 93rd round of the Liaoyue war.
The pair of bitter rivals have unwittingly set a record for the most 10 playoff games in CBA history, and a total of 93 games. According to the author's unofficial statistics, they are already the team with the most matches in history, with Guangdong winning 51 and Liaoning chasing 42 wins.
And a few days later, on May 1, they will set a new record for the 11th series and the 94th round of the Liaoyue Battle.
We always think that history is a few lines in a book, a few handfuls of soil in a museum, but we don't know that we are all in history. Just like the Spring Festival Gala in 2008, Zhao Benshan took his most tired sketch "Torchbearer" to the stage, people thought it was still a beginning, but they didn't know that the end of an era had quietly arrived. A week later, Liaoning and Guangdong staged the first finals in the CBA.
In the final game of that round of the series, Yang Ming scored 20+ points in the only game of his career finals. Zhu Fangyu, who was opposite him, scored 31 points to win FMVP, and is now the general manager of Guangdong. Du Feng only scored 9 points, enjoying his journey to another consecutive championship, and now he is the coach of Guangdong. Time has passed, and now on the opposite side of the "Fengyu Combination", the young Yang Ming is now the champion coach who led the team to win the championship twice, and is no longer an opponent who can be easily looked at.
People have changed, but the battlefield in Liaoyue has not changed.
Coach Wu Naiqun returned to the Liaoning coaching staff with Coach Yang Ming in the middle of the season, and I don't know if he will remember the time 29 years ago, when he was also a young man in fresh clothes. Looking carefully, in Guangdong's huge coaching support team, you may still be able to see Wang Huaiyu, Ma Yongzhong and others. The swords and swords of the past will be replaced by a smile in the end.
The Liaoyue War changed far more than we thought. In the last battle of the last playoffs Liaoyue War, Guangdong still lost in overtime, and it has only been two years, but among the 10 people who appeared in Guangdong, Yi Jianlian, Zhao Rui, Wang Xinkai, Tang Jie, Su Wei, Zeng Fanri have all left the team now, Sonny Weems has gone and returned, the injured Ren Junfei is injured again, and Zhou Peng is no longer wearing the Guangdong shirt.
The winner is the ever-changing side, but in Liaoning's lineup, the last time Guo Allen appeared in the eyes of fans was under Jia Yueting's social media. Guo Allen's most recent victory for Liaoning was the battle between Liaoyue and Guangdong on New Year's Day, and this time, we may not be able to find him on the field.
Grievances and hatreds are indescribable, they have all melted into the long river of time, and the Liaoyue War is not just a battlefield in the CBA.
Guo Allen's light may be even brighter in the decisive battle between the National Games and Guangdong. In Xi'an in 2021, Liaoning, which lost the CBA finals, successfully avenged Guangdong with Guo Allen's 33 points, breaking the demons of the past few seasons, and the cornerstone of the Liaoning dynasty was ceremoniously laid down in the grand awards ceremony.
The 81-year-old gray-haired Jiang Xingquan enjoyed a rare pleasure in the crowd, ready to officially welcome the championship tour before retirement. Zhou Peng, Zhao Rui, Zhou Qi, the three national team friends, the opponents who rushed to the championship in the Liaoyue War just now, are appreciating the different lusters of the gold and silver medals of the National Games. Who would have thought that just two years later, Zhao Rui went to Xinjiang, Zhou Qi went to Guangdong, and Zhou Peng went to Shenzhen.
Zhou Qi, the hero who made Liaoning successfully break through the border at the National Games, has become the biggest barrier for Guangdong to prevent Liaoning's three consecutive championships, which may be a scenery that has not been seen in the Liaoning-Guangdong War in the past 30 years. But when we think about it, maybe nearly 30 years ago, watching Li Chunjiang lead Guangdong to defeat Liaoning, and watching Wang Shipeng and Zhou Peng take away the championship from Liaoning 16 years ago, did the fans at that time have a similar state of mind to us at the moment?
Liaoning is looking forward to becoming the third team in the history of the CBA to complete three consecutive championships, and they are looking forward to truly writing the Liaoning dynasty into the history of the CBA, and in this history, Guangdong is undoubtedly an indispensable witness. Only when you go over the mountains can you see the supreme scenery.
As for Guangdong, the CBA's No. 1 giant, they don't need to prove anything. But Weems's promise, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie's future, Zhou Qi's declaration of return, all the things they want, also need the best opponent to confirm. Now, as you wish, Liaoning is in front of you.
Nearly 100 years ago, Zheng Zhenduo translated Tagore's poem into the following text: If you cry when you miss the sun, then you will miss the stars. Maybe it's also appropriate to use him in the Liaoyue War: if you're still thinking about the first 10 Liaoyue Wars, then you'll have to miss the excitement of the 11th Liaoyue War.
