On May 6th, Beijing time, the CBA playoffs continued to play, the Liaoning men's basketball team lost to the Guangdong men's basketball team with a big away score, and the total score was 1-2 behind, Moreland played 10 minutes and 29 seconds, 4 of 0, 1 of 4 free throws, and got 1 point, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 fouls.
In the first quarter of the game, Moreland entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, playing more actively on both offensive and defensive ends, but the shooting percentage was poor, 0 of 3 got 0 points, 4 rebounds and 1 foul, and he failed to take advantage of Zhou Qi and Jordan Bell. After playing 3 minutes in the second quarter, there was no scoring progress, and Yang Ming replaced Moreland, whose mentality was affected.
Yang Ming did not activate Moreland in the third quarter, but hoped to be driven by Moreland's defense in the fourth quarter, but Moreland's layup mentality still failed to effectively adjust, in addition to being at a disadvantage against Zhou Qi, and the offensive handling of the ball failed to meet expectations, Yang Ming completely lost his mentality to Moreland and was replaced.
For Moreland's performance, he needs to take the blame for the loss of this game, if the Liaoning men's basketball team relies on Li Xiaoxu and Han Dejun to fight against Zhou Qi is not realistic, and Moreland's scramble and defense are in a state of taking on heavy responsibilities, the regular season faced the Guangdong men's basketball team played the expected effect many times, but it didn't work in the playoffs, in addition to Guangdong's targeted defense, more Moreland's mentality is facing changes, he seems to have been unable to adapt to this high-pressure defense under the way of playing, once he failed to handle the ball comfortably, Moreland's impatience spread to the whole team, especially in the case of backwardness, Moreland is playing more and more urgently, for Liaoning is not a qualified foreign aid performance.
Yang Ming is very tolerant of Moreland, even if Moreland has some inexplicable mistakes and emotional outbursts, Moreland is allowed to make mistakes in the regular season, but in the playoffs of the semifinals, it is difficult for Moreland to be satisfied if he can't give back to the Liaoning men's basketball team through actual performance, especially when the series is 1-2 behind, if Moreland still fails to make adjustments in the next game, should the Liaoning men's basketball team renew his contract?
