On May 4, Beijing time, the CBA playoffs continued, Xinjiang lost to Zhejiang at home in the series, Qi Lin played 29 minutes and 35 seconds, 5 of 0 (3 of 3 of 0, 2 of 4 free throws) and scored 2 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 block and 3 fouls.
Qi Lin handed over 3 fouls in a short period of time in the first quarter of the game, failed to make a shot, and in the second quarter, except for a three-point shot at the top of the arc, he also failed to make much contribution on the court.
In the third quarter, he played 11 minutes and 25 seconds to get 2 free throw opportunities, and the three-point and rebounding aspects also failed to help the Xinjiang men's basketball team too much.
Compared with the first game, Qi Lin continued to create a threat on the outside, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team beat Zhejiang by as many as 35 points.
Why did Qi Lin criticize this game by name?
In the playoff semi-finals game, Qi Lin as the main forward, 29 minutes, 2 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists is a very outrageous performance, especially in terms of rebounding, although the Xinjiang men's basketball team does not need him to fight hard, but in terms of some defensive rebounds, Qi Lin is not as good as some guards with a sense of rushing, and through the opportunity to transfer the ball, Qi Lin also played without the expected enthusiasm, such an attitude compared with Lu Wenbo, Cheng Shuai, Peng Wu Qian and others, Qi Lin is completely in a state of confusion.
Qiu Biao's continued use of him in the second half is already a big factor in terms of human affection, perhaps it is also Zhu Xuhang's season reimbursement, after Telles left the team, the Xinjiang men's basketball team did not have a stable three-point shooter.
This game is also an important factor for Qi Lin to compete among many forwards of the same age who cannot enter the regular national team, competing for physical fitness, running and throwing ability, Qi Lin is a very competitive player in the same position in China, but the enthusiasm of the defensive end, the choice of the offensive end, especially in terms of headwind, Qi Lin is far inferior to Zhu Junlong of his age in all aspects.
Compared with Zhang Zhenlin, Cui Yongxi, and Du Runwang, Qi Lin's advantages are not outstanding enough, when the outside line lacks a stable shooting percentage, Qi Lin holds the ball alone and counterattacks to create kills, and the chances of going to the free throw line are all failed to reach the absolute core performance of a team in the top four of the playoffs, and he lacks enough convincing hard battles to prove himself.
Of course, it is not realistic to lose Qi Lin alone in this game, but as the core forward of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, the next game urgently needs to find a short time to get back to the state.
