On April 29, in the fierce battle of the current CBA playoffs, fans saw a number of exciting matchups. The Liaoning men's basketball team has always been very concerned by the outside world, the team ranked first in the regular season this season, and the opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Shenzhen team. The result was very easy, the Liaoning men's basketball team swept Shenzhen 3-0 to advance, waiting for the semi-final opponent Guangdong team in advance. Before the game, there was good news for the Liaoning team, Guo Allen has returned to China, and with his arrival, the team lineup will most likely be adjusted.
The backcourt of the Liaoning men's basketball team has always been an advantage, Zhao Jiwei needless to say, and now Guo Allen is also back. If Guo Allen can play, then Yang Ming should not give him too much playing time, focusing on adaptation, after all, he has just recovered from injury. Yan Shouqi is likely to still start, and he has indeed improved this season. There are also Fogg and Cooper in the backcourt, and the backcourt of the Liaoning men's basketball team does not need to worry at all. If it is five guards, then it is Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Yan Shouqi, Fogg, and Cooper. If Guo Allen continues to be absent, then the teenager Zhang Junhao will enter the squad.
The small forward position has always been a staple for Zhang, and the rising star continues to grow and can now shoot and hold the ball. It can even be said that Zhang Zhenlin is a big advantage against the Guangdong team, or the key to opening up the situation. Cong Mingchen was injured before, and his state is still adjusting after returning. Previously, Zhao led Zhou to enter the squad, so he will also be in the semi-final lineup.
The available players in the Liaoning men's basketball team are also sufficient, and Moreland, Li Xiaoxu, Han Dejun, Fu Hao, and Liu Yanyu are not injured. Yang Ming mostly used Moreland and Fu Hao to start the regular season, and Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu were substitutes. In the playoffs, Yang Ming let Li Xiaoxu start, and the second brother's rebounding skills are really strong. Young player Liu Yanyu may not have many opportunities, and there is a high probability that he will not be in the 12-man squad.
To sum up, it is not difficult to speculate on the Liaoning men's basketball semifinal lineup. Backcourt, Guo Allen or Zhang Junhao, Zhao Jiwei, Yan Shouqi, Fogg, Cooper, small forward, Zhang Zhenlin, Cong Mingchen, Zhao Shuzhou, inside Moreland, Li Xiaoxu, Han Dejun, Fu Hao. This lineup is not much different from last season, and the variable is that there are more Cooper and Zhao Shuzhou.
The first round of the Liaoning men's basketball playoffs was easy, but the semifinals were different because the opponent was the Guangdong team. The opponent has been strengthening this season, with Zhou Qi and Jordan Bell on the inside, as well as a number of national players. The Liaoning men's basketball team will not be easy to defeat Guangdong, and even the situation of fighting all the time, looking forward to the showdown between the two teams.
