In the second round of the CBA semifinals, which was full of gunpowder, the Guangdong team finally found its form at the home court of the Liaoning team, winning 110-94, and the total score of the series was rewritten to 1-1. It's not just a win in a game, it's more like a battle win, and every player is like going through a tough battle.
Let's talk about Zhao Jiwei and Bell's "pushing, pushing, shoving" first. It's not dancing, it's more tense than dancing! The atmosphere on the field was like a powder keg on the verge of exploding. Bale seems intent on approaching Liaoning's tactical discussion board, which is not a smart move. Zhao Jiwei immediately stepped forward to give a "friendly reminder", and the two immediately launched a series of heated exchanges of body language. The referee was also very busy, and after the replay, the two each received a physical foul. Ah, what a free action blockbuster this scene is!
Then there was Xu Jie's roar, so loud that it almost lifted the roof of the gymnasium. This roar came from dissatisfaction with Zhang Zhenlin, perhaps because Zhang Zhenlin made some small moves in the game, or Xu Jie just wanted to stand up for his teammates. In any case, this roar not only made Zhang Zhenlin stunned, but even the audience could feel the anger. The referee's technical foul on Xu Jie did not seem to calm his anger, but instead made the fans on the sidelines more excited.
Guangdong's counterattack was swift and effective. Soon after the start of the race, they showed their might. By the end of the first quarter, they had a five-point lead. By halftime, that advantage had been extended to nine points. Especially in the third quarter, the Guangdong team played a wave of climaxes, hitting three-pointers in a row, widening the score gap. Every player seems to be doping, and the transition between offense and defense is fast and sharp.
Although the Liaoning team tried hard to narrow the point gap, the Guangdong team's defense was also tight and gave great pressure. Although the fans of the Liaoning team have given the greatest support as always, the Guangdong team has found the rhythm of victory at this time and is no longer easy to be shaken.
This game is not only a contest of technique and tactics, but also a contest of psychology and will. The conflict between Zhao Jiwei and Bale, and Xu Jie's angry roar at Zhang Zhenlin, clearly showed the intensity of the game. As spectators, we see not only the moment the ball enters the basket, but also how the players control their emotions in a high-pressure environment, and how they try to test the edge of the rules.
From this game, we can see how the Guangdong team got back on the right track by adjusting itself after the defeat in the first game. Their performance taught us that a loss is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of the ability to learn from the defeat. Winning the game is important, but what is more important is to grow into a stronger version of yourself through the grinding of each game.
In addition, the conflict between Bell and Zhao Jiwei is also a cautionary tale. In a high-pressure playing environment, it's just as important to keep your emotions in check. A spur of the moment can cause unnecessary trouble for the team. As professional players, they need to stay calm in the excitement of the game, which is a test of their professionalism and a sign of responsibility for the team.
For Liaoning, the defeat could be an opportunity for reflection. Being beaten at home by such a big margin is undoubtedly a wake-up call for them. The team needs to make adjustments in the next games, both strategically and mentally, and there must be improvements. At this time, the communication between the coach and the players is particularly crucial, and only by really thinking in one place and working hard in one place can the situation be reversed in the next game.
Every game is a new beginning, regardless of whether the previous one is won or lost. Both Guangdong and Liaoning have the opportunity to prove themselves again in the upcoming matches. As fans, we expect them to bring more exciting games, and we also hope that they can show more sportsmanship and professionalism on the field.
Overall, this game not only provided a fierce basketball matchup, but also gave us a lot of insights about competitive sports. Behind the victory or defeat, there is a patchwork of countless details and a test of psychological quality. Every attack and defense of the team is an all-round challenge of strategy, physical strength and will. Through such competitions, players and spectators can learn a lot, which is also a valuable asset that sports competitions give us.
