On May 1, Beijing time, Liao Basket defeated Hongyuan 119-97 at home, and these 22 points also refreshed the score difference between the two sides in the playoffs in the past ten years. From the perspective of the game, Hongyuan's three-point hand in the first half is hot and fashionable and can fight with Liao Basket, the gap between the two sides is not big, but in the second half, Liao Basket gently exerted force, and the score difference was immediately pulled away, no matter how Du Feng adjusted, once the score difference was significantly narrowed, Liao Basket can always immediately adjust and open the score difference again! And looking at the technical statistics, we can find that the front line of Liao Basket played very well, the Liao Basket front line led by Zhang Zhenlin scored a total of 60 points, and Hongyuan's side only relied on Weems to score 10 points, Du Runwang scored 6 points, and the huge gap of 60-16 was completely a kick of Liao Basket to hit Hongyuan's goal!
Hongyuan's biggest problem is still the front line, which I believe everyone knows very well. In the past two years, Hongyuan missed the finals and the semifinals respectively, completely because the gap between the front line and the opponent is too big, and the guard line and the inside line cannot fill this big hole. In 22, he was swept by Liao Basket because Zhou Peng and Weems were seriously aging, and in 23, even these two left the team, and the forward line led by Du Runwang Erfei was blown up by Guangsha. This time in the Liaoyue confrontation, G1 Zhonghongyuan was once again caught by Yang Ming to face this problem. Zhang Zhenlin was almost omnipotent on this night, slashing 34 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in the whole game, driven by him, Li Xiaoxu 8 points and 8 rebounds, Fu Hao 9 points and 4 rebounds, Cong Mingchen 6 points, Zhang Junhao 3 points, and the Liao Basket front line scored a total of 60 points!
On Hongyuan's side, Zhang Haojia came up and abandoned his martial arts, and the continuous fouls made him only play for 7 minutes, without even making a shot, and he scored and swallowed zero eggs in the whole game. Huang Mingyi was stunned from the beginning to the end of the game, playing 16 minutes and 0 points. Xiao Li and Zhang Hao only did one thing to defend when they came up, and they also scored 0 points in the whole game. As a result, the forward line on Hongyuan's side only relied on Weems to score 10 points, and Du Runwang scored 6 points, all of which added up to more than half of Zhang Zhenlin's score! Weems's magic in the regular season was completely ended in the playoffs, and it turned out that not every athlete was James, and the 38-year-old Weems could no longer carry the team in the high-end game. Even Weems is not strong, and the remaining Hongyuan forward line is even more hopeless, and Zhang Haojia and Du Runwang, who have a little experience, can't take on the heavy responsibility, let alone count on a few first-year players.
G2 Zhou Qi unblocked, but his return can only relieve the pressure on Hongyuan's inner line, and the front line of Liao Basket still has the absolute upper hand over Hongyuan's front line. If Hongyuan wants to "steal" a victory at the home of Liao Basket, G2 In addition to Zhou Qi to play at the level he should have, the front line also has to be supported, Weems and Du Runwang want to play their normal state, and several other young players will either break out on the offensive end, or give Zhang Zhenlin and others trouble on the defensive end, otherwise if it goes on like this, Hongyuan may be taken away directly by Liao Basket 3-0!
