In the second leg of the CBA semifinals, Guangdong Hongyuan's match against Liaoning Bengang was wonderful. The strategic duel between the two head coaches Du Feng and Yang Ming is breathtaking. In the end, Du Feng adopted a series of unexpected tactical adjustments and successfully knocked down a strong opponent Liaoning Bengang, but Yang Ming was a little caught off guard in this game.
The biggest attraction of this game is undoubtedly the confrontation between the two managers. Du Feng and Yang Ming are both extremely powerful coaches in the history of the CBA, and the two have faced each other many times on the CBA stage before. This semi-final matchup naturally attracted great attention from fans and the media.
Du Feng's performance in this game can be said to be surprisingly victorious. He made some unexpected tactical adjustments at key moments, drastically changed the team's lineup and offensive play, and successfully coped with the opponent's tactical deployment. Such a performance fully reflects Du Feng's tactical skills and on-the-spot decision-making ability as a top coach.
In contrast, Yang Ming looked a little at a loss in this game. Although he has mastered a strong Liaoning Bengang, he seems to be unable to find an effective countermeasure in the face of Du Feng's tactical changes. The loss of this game also exposed some of Yang Ming's shortcomings as a head coach, especially in terms of on-the-spot coping ability and psychological adjustment ability at critical moments.
In addition, the article also mentions Allen Guo's performance in this match. According to reports, Guo Allen was unable to play before the game due to his injury not healing, which triggered some inappropriate remarks by Yang Ming after the game, which seemed to be a suspicion of shirking responsibility. This performance has undoubtedly sparked a lot of discussion from the outside world.
In general, this CBA semi-final second leg game has undoubtedly become a wonderful battle between the two coaches, Du Feng and Yang Ming. Du Feng successfully defeated the strong Liaoning Bengang through the tactical adjustment of "new wine in old bottles", while Yang Ming's performance in this game was a little inadequate. At the same time, the article also mentioned the controversy caused by Guo Allen's injury, which undoubtedly became a major attraction of this game.
Let's focus on the following aspects of this game:
1. Du Feng's tactical adjustment of "new wine in old bottles".
In the last game, Liaoning Bengang relied on Zhang Zhenlin's outstanding performance to pull the score away and successfully defeated Guangdong Hongyuan. However, in the second game, Du Feng adopted a series of unexpected tactical adjustments, and finally succeeded in bringing down his opponent.
Du Feng was obviously aware of this situation and made corresponding adjustments according to this situation. In this game, he started Williams and also brought Jordan Bell on, which undoubtedly confused the opponent to a certain extent. But Du Feng's key adjustment is also that he has focused the team's offense on improving his interior height.
Hongyuan does have certain height shortcomings in the interior this season, especially the key position of Xu Jie. In this regard, Du Feng made adjustments in this game, minimizing the playing time of Xu Xin and Zhang Mingchi, the two interior players, and instead chose a taller player to match the inside advantage of Liaoning Bengang. This tactical adjustment of "new wine in old bottles" not only successfully solved the team's interior height problem, but also created some trouble for the opponent Liaoning Bengang.
Through these tactical adjustments, Du Feng successfully pulled back a city, which reversed the situation of the game. This fully reflects Du Feng's tactical skills and on-the-spot decision-making ability as a top coach. He is able to flexibly adjust the lineup and offensive play according to the characteristics of the opponent and the actual situation of his own team, and finally achieve the goal of surprising victory. Such a performance undoubtedly makes people sigh at Du Feng's excellent level at the tactical level.
Second, Yang Ming's performance in this game
Compared with Du Feng's outstanding performance in this game, Yang Ming's performance was a little decadent. The article mentions that in the face of Du Feng's tactical adjustments, Yang Ming seems to be unable to find effective countermeasures, which exposes some of his shortcomings as a head coach.
First of all, in terms of on-the-spot decision-making ability, the article pointed out that Liaoning Bengang showed an obvious state of "confusion" in this game, which actually came from Yang Ming's own "confusion". Because Hongyuan's changes obviously exceeded Yang Ming's expectations, he was a little at a loss in the face of this sudden tactical adjustment. This also made Liaoning Bengang make a lot of mistakes on the field, and the overall performance was not good.
Secondly, in terms of psychological adjustment ability, the article mentions that compared with Guangdong Hongyuan, which maintained a relatively stable mentality in the first two games, Liaoning Bengang seemed to be a little out of control in emotional control. Especially after Zhang Zhenlin's successful dunk, some of his "abusive" celebrations undoubtedly pushed the team's mood to a higher state. This excessive exuberance became an obstacle in the subsequent games, leading to a slump and tragedy in the team at critical moments.
