On May 1, Beijing time, the Liaoyue battle G1 ended, and the Liao Basket at home finally defeated Hongyuan 119-97 through four quarters of competition. Losing by 22 points in the first semi-final, this may be something that many Hongyuan fans did not expect. However, when Zhou Qi and Erfei can't play, and the inside line is obviously at a loss, Hongyuan's probability of winning is really not high, and this loss should be accumulated experience. Although the game was lost, several players on Hongyuan's side played well, Waters, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie, at least played their normal level and performed well. And Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin had a good performance in the absence of Zhou Qi Erfei, and they could also pass the game. As for the other forwards, Zhang Haojia, Huang Mingyi and Du Runwang have completely collapsed!
Waters played 24 minutes and had 19 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds, including the most in scoring and assists. Objectively speaking, Waters did not blame anything other than shooting more three-pointers from a long distance. In the face of the iron bucket-like defense, the excellent water brother still scored 19+6 in 24 minutes, and it was not his responsibility to lose Hongyuan in this game. Hu Mingxuan's shooting rate was slightly lower, hitting only 5 of 14 shots, including 1 of 7 three-pointers, and got 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Although it is slightly ugly in terms of data, the offensive end should be the main output, and the defensive end should be the main defense Zhang Zhenlin, and Xiao Hu, whose physical strength is close to the limit, has tried his best. As for Xu Jie, he found his form in this game, with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and it was he who stood up in the second quarter and scored consecutive points to maintain the situation, and did not let Hongyuan completely collapse in the first half. The three defenders were able to maintain the lower limit despite the team's poor performance, and they did their best!
Zhou Qi and Er Fei, the two main players, couldn't play inside, and Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin were forced to become the team's core internal rotation. Among them, Zhang Mingchi played 24 minutes, scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 6-of-12 shooting, while Xu Xin played 16 minutes, scoring 10 points and 4 rebounds on 3-of-4 shooting. Objectively speaking, in the first half, the two performed well when they had sufficient physical strength, especially Zhang Mingchi frequently hit three points on the outside, and Xu Xin effectively killed Moreland on the inside. But the two of them have just turned 40 years old, and their game experience and skills cannot be compared with the 70-year-old veterans of Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu on the opposite side. In the second half, the two ran out of physical strength, and Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu really began to exert their strength and broke up the Hongyuan young inside duo.
Du Runwang, Zhang Haojia and Huang Mingyi in the front line all collapsed. Du Runwang made 2 of 7 three-pointers, and when the three points were not accurate, he became a burden to the team on the defensive end, and there were many times when he was distracted and was stealed by the opponent and lost the rebound. Zhang Haojia, on the other hand, contributed several famous scenes in this game, with 3 fouls in 4 minutes. Du Feng cultivated him for a season, just to build him into a secret weapon against Zhang Zhenlin. As a result, Zhang Haojia actually played self-destruction at the critical time, no wonder Du Feng was speechless with his head on the sidelines! The teenager Huang Mingyi was stunned from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, and he was sleepwalking in the audience, and he swallowed zero eggs like Zhang Haojia, and he also needed to go back and summarize it well!
