Xiao Dong's point of view: In the first game of the CBA semifinals, the Guangdong team encountered Waterloo, and the inner line and the organization were connected into a weakness
Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Dong, a sports blogger who has been following CBA events for a long time. Today, I would like to talk to you about a key matchup in the first leg of the CBA semifinals - the fierce battle between the Guangdong team and the Liaoning team. In this game, we saw a painful defeat for the Guangdong team, which also exposed their serious problems in the interior and the organisational tandem.
At the beginning of the game, the Guangdong team faced a huge challenge. Playing away, they need to quickly adapt to the tactical play of the Liaoning team and find a way to crack it. The course of the game did not go as expected by the Guangdong team. The Liaoning team firmly controlled the rhythm of the game with its strong internal strength and excellent organizational tandem ability.
Judging from the data, the Guangdong team lost to the Liaoning team with a score of 97-119 in this game, losing by 22 points. Such a score gap can be said to be quite rare on the stage of the CBA playoffs. What's even more worrying is that Guangdong has seriously lost control of rebounding inside, and at the end of the game, they have 14 fewer rebounds than Liaoning. This means that the Liaoning team has more offensive opportunities and secondary offensive opportunities, opening up the score gap.
In addition to the problems of the internal line, the Guangdong team also has a lot of problems in terms of organizational tandem. In the whole game, they only handed out 16 assists, which can be said to be quite low in the CBA arena. The poor organization and tandem made the Guangdong team's attack fragmented and lacking integrity, and could not form an effective offensive threat.
During the game, there was also a controversial incident that caused widespread discussion among fans and the media. Liaoning player Zhang Zhenlin angrily promoted East team player Xu Xin after a dunk and provoked him. Such behaviour is contrary to sportsmanship and seriously undermines friendship and respect between players.
In the face of such a provocation, Xu Xin showed a very high professionalism and a calm attitude. He said that he didn't quite understand Zhang Zhenlin's behavior, and thought that the most important thing was to play a good game and win the game back. He emphasised that he would not clash with the opponent and that he would concentrate on the game. Xu Xin's response showed his maturity and calmness as a professional player, and also won the respect and praise of fans.
Why did the Guangdong team suffer such a painful defeat in the first game of the semi-finals? Xiao Dong believes that this is mainly related to their weakness in terms of internal line and organizational tandem. Let's take a look at the inside line of the Guangdong team. Guangdong's interior has always been their strength, but in this game, they failed to play as well as they should. The Liaoning team's interior strength is strong, with a number of tall and strong players, which has caused huge pressure on the Guangdong team's interior line.
The interior players of the Guangdong team also failed to play their own characteristics in the game, unable to form an effective attack and defense on the inside. This led to a serious loss of rebounding in the interior control of the Guangdong team, giving the Liaoning team more offensive opportunities.
Let's take a look at the organizational tandem of the Guangdong team. Organizational tandem is one of the key links of a team's offense, and in this game, the Guangdong team's organizational tandem has serious problems. Their passes were not precise and timely, and they were often prone to turnovers and tackles. Their attacking tactics also lacked variety and innovation, allowing the Liaoning team to easily crack their attack. As a result, Guangdong's offense became fragmented and lacked coherence to form an effective attacking threat.
In response to the above problems, Xiao Dong believes that the Guangdong team needs to make targeted adjustments and improvements in the next games. They need to strengthen their defensive and offensive capabilities on the interior and improve the level of competition of their players on the inside. They need to improve their playmaking tandems, improve the accuracy and timeliness of their passes, and increase the variety and innovation of their attacking tactics. Only in this way can the Guangdong team be able to show their strength level in the next game and start a fierce competition with the Liaoning team.
Guangdong suffered a painful defeat in the first game of the CBA semifinals, but it also allowed them to see their weakness in terms of interior and organizational tandem. Xiao Dong believes that as long as the Guangdong team can seriously sum up the lessons and make targeted adjustments and improvements, they will be able to catch up and achieve better results in the next games. Let's wait and see!
