With the end of the Zhejiang-Shanghai war, the final seat of this season's playoffs has also been determined, the second half of the regular season will be the second place in the regular season of Xinjiang, the third place Zhejiang, the first half of the region is the already determined Liaoning and Guangdong CBA "Spring Festival Gala War".
The first round of the Liaoning-Guangdong war, will be started on the evening of May 1, Beijing time, the regular season Guangdong and Liaoning 4 games, Guangdong won 1-3 record, the first 3 games against Guangdong were all defeated, the 4th game was at home to defeat Liaoning 119-94, this victory for the Guangdong team, is of great significance, on the contrary, Yang Ming is not very good, when he just returned to the position of head coach of Liaoning, he lost to the Guangdong team, and then lost to Zhejiang by the same big score.
However, the first battle of the Liaoyue War, for the Guangdong team, there seems to be no pressure, at least from Du Feng's interview with Guangdong Sports Station before the game, Du Gui is more honest, the first sentence of the interview directly said that Zhou Qi can't play, Ren Junfei can't play, Liaoning is the defending champion, the inside advantage, home advantage, strength above the Guangdong team, I hope the team will give it a go, to fight to learn.
Du Feng is a bit unusual, and even committed a taboo, and directly reported the main injury to the opponent before the war started, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Yang Ming, because in this way, Yang Ming can transfer the focus of research and defense to Zhang Chiming and Bell.
In the fourth match with Liaoning, Bell had just registered and had not appeared to play against Liaoning, so Yang Ming needed to study it carefully, and similarly, against Zhang Mingchi, who averaged 8.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game against Guangsha, Yang Ming should not be underestimated, but since Du Feng chose to play a bright card, he constantly emphasized the difficulties faced by the Guangdong team in the first game, but he wanted to relieve the pressure on the team and left the pressure to Yang Ming's side.
First, Guangdong, as the fourth-ranked "lower dog" team, this time faced the first in the league, Liaoning, which won Shenzhen as many as 32.6 points per game in the first round of the playoffs.
Second, this time as a guest in Liaoning, Guangdong also suffered 4 rounds of hand-to-hand combat with Guangsha, and was consumed half a life by the opponent to successfully clear the customs, in fact, it also needs some serious games to find the state.
Zhou Qi is still one game away from lifting the ban, Ren Junfei was also hit and injured his knee in the confrontation with Xu Zhonghao, the latest situation is a little not optimistic, although Erfei can walk on the ground, but from his walking posture, it can be seen that he is also a little reluctant, the intensity of the playoffs is twice as large as the regular season, whether Ren Junfei can catch up with the next games in time, is still unknown.
Ren Junfei caught up with the Liaoyue battle is enough, Guo Allen seems to have a certain probability of not being able to play, the latest news of Guo Allen is that he has rushed back from Spain, the first stop landed in Pudong, Shanghai, and then will transfer to Shenyang to gather with the team, from the perspective of the itinerary, Guo Allen will definitely not be able to catch up with the first game, and Yang Ming has no reason to let Guo Allen come back early, the risk is too great.
So, how many games is Allen Guo most likely to comeback?
Personally, I think that it is most likely to be in the G4 or G5 battle, of course, the premise is that the two teams can play the last 2 games, the first 2 games of Liaoning are at home, but the time is relatively tight, Guo Allen needs to reverse the jet lag after returning to China, accept the team's joint training, and after evaluation, this can only play, so the first 2 games, Guo Allen's task is mainly to sit on the sidelines and watch.
The G3 and G4 games will be played away, G3 will start on May 6, Guo Allen's jet lag must be no problem, but Yang Ming should not be too anxious to let Guo Allen return, if Liaoning leads 2-0 at this time, then Guo Allen will come back to find the state, but with the pre-game deployment of the Guangdong team, Du Feng will inevitably focus on the deployment of the G2 war, taking advantage of Zhou Qi's comeback and Liaoning's hard work, and strive to win the ideal result of 1-1.
Therefore, the G3 battle, if it is played with a 1-1 draw, Yang Ming will not be too risky, after all, Guo Allen has been injured for a long time, he has only played 3 games this season, his state is a mystery, and Liaoning is not in a desperate situation, therefore, the G4 or G5 game is the meaning of Guo Allen's return, as Yang Ming's backhand.
The first two battles of the Liaoyue War, the variables will be very large, the two teams will not be able to make mistakes and the main players will be banned, with Guo Allen, the backhand, in fact, it is also in disguise to increase the psychological pressure on the Guangdong team.
