On May 3, the CBA playoffs were in full swing, and the Liaoning team played the second matchup with the Guangdong team at home. After the start, the offensive and defensive intensity of the two teams was very large, so the score was difficult to pull away, and the Liaoning team fell behind by 2 points in the first quarter. Liaoning's offense and defense began to decline in the second quarter, resulting in a nine-point deficit at halftime. In the second half, the Liaoning team was completely suppressed by the Guangdong team, once trailing by more than 20 points, and although there was a counterattack momentum in the final quarter, it still lost 110-94. This game was hotly discussed after the game, mainly because of the loss of the Liaoning team, three of which were the mainstream.
First, excessive foul counting.
Looking back at the game, the Liaoning team's game became a replica of the previous game of the Guangdong team, and the number of fouls committed by the players soared. First Yan Shouqi, who quickly reached 4 fouls, you must know that he is the team's starting backcourt, which makes Yang Ming how to rotate. Later, Yang Ming was replaced by Cooper, but the new recruit was not suitable for the game at all, and he couldn't score when he came up, and there were many mistakes. Replacing Zhang Junhao immediately made another mistake, which completely disrupted the rhythm of the Liaoning team. The game went deep, and even some veterans had problems, Han Dejun quickly fouled twice, and Fogg fouled three times, how to play this game.
Second, people grow old before they grow old.
What is the biggest feature of the Guangdong team, that is, multiple rotations to ensure offensive and defensive intensity, and all 12 people are on the field. There were still people who laughed at Du Feng's five up and five downs before, but now they still laugh out. On the other hand, in the Liaoning team, Yang Ming uses veterans the most, and this later problem comes. For example, Daehan began to pant early in the third quarter, and his physical strength was insufficient, and the number of fouls and turnovers increased. and Li Xiaoxu, the second brother didn't have to say anything about rebounding, but he couldn't last a long time, and he was gasping for breath off the court in the third quarter. It's really a person who gets old first, and the veteran does have experience, but there will definitely be problems with physical fitness in the face of high-confrontation games, which is unavoidable.
Third, the number of mistakes has soared.
The main reason for the Liaoning team's loss in this game is not only the main players, but also the substitute players. Zhao Jiwei did not finish the game with 6 turnovers, and Cooper made 3 mistakes in 2 minutes. Not to mention Zhang Zhenlin, the number of mistakes is not less than Zhao Jiwei. In this regard, it can also be seen that Du Feng's targeted strategy is high-pressure defense, leading the defense all over the court, and pressing in the front court. The Guangdong team has the physical strength to complete this defensive intensity, while the Liaoning team has no coping strategy, and Yang Ming is seen through by Du Feng.
There is also something to say about the performance of the main players, Zhang Zhenlin is 1 of 11 in the third quarter, this is the absolute main force, how to win with such a performance. Of course, losing is not the end, the Liaoning team still has a chance to adjust next, and it can only be said that the Guangdong team will see you at home.
