Game 3 of the CBA playoffs semifinals continued, with the Guangdong South China Tigers beating Liaoning Bengang 98-82 at home, leading 2-1 on aggregate and just one win away from the finals.
In this game, Liaoning team general Li Xiaoxu was forced to withdraw because of a suspected Achilles tendon injury, fortunately, there was good news from the Liaoning club after the game, and the Achilles tendon injury has been ruled out after the preliminary examination by the team doctor, but the follow-up situation needs to be further observed.
When the game was in a fierce stage, Liaoning men's basketball player Li Xiaoxu was suddenly injured due to no confrontation.
His body lost balance on the court and his weight fell on his left foot, but his ankle seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure on his body, so he immediately covered his left Achilles tendon and immediately jumped off the court with one leg with a painful expression.
This sudden situation made the audience and the fans in front of the audience gasp, and a huge stone hung over their hearts.
The situation at the moment of injury was very obvious: Li Xiaoxu's movements suddenly became unnatural, his expression was distorted by pain, and he directly covered the Achilles tendon of his left foot with both hands, as if trying to relieve the severe pain there.
Teammates and coaches quickly rushed to his side to reassure him and help him off the field.
Although the medical team at the scene immediately treated him, everyone was worried that he might have suffered a rupture of the Achilles tendon, an extremely serious injury for an athlete.
A ruptured Achilles tendon means long-term rehabilitation and can even threaten an athlete's career.
After the news broke, fans and industry insiders expressed their concern and support on social platforms, hoping that Li Xiaoxu could recover quickly.
Many began to discuss that the team may need to readjust their tactics to fill the void in his absence, and officials said that the possibility of an Achilles tendon injury has been ruled out for the time being.
This news undoubtedly relieved the fans, and they expressed their blessings to Li Xiaoxu and their support for the team in the comment area.
Although the exact injury and recovery time have not yet been announced, everyone is pleased with the good news.
Now, the team's medical team is further evaluating Li's injury to determine the next steps in treatment and rehabilitation.
Li Xiaoxu's injury is a heavy blow to the Liaoning men's basketball team, he is one of the important players of the Liaoning men's basketball team and plays an important role in the team.
His injury will not only affect the strength of the team's squad, but also have a certain impact on the team's morale.
After Li Xiaoxu's injury, other players of the Liaoning men's basketball team need to work harder to make up for his vacancy.
In the face of the strong defense of the Guangdong men's basketball team, the offense of the Liaoning team was obviously suppressed, they could not find an effective breakthrough, and the entire offensive end seemed to be a little stagnant.
In a number of offensive attempts, players were unable to escape the opposition's close defense, resulting in a serious impact on their shot selection and shooting percentage.
The Liaoning men's basketball team also encountered difficulties on the defensive end, and they failed to effectively suppress the Guangdong team's multi-point offense, especially when defending the Guangdong team's outside shots, which seemed inadequate.
Guangdong's perimeter shooters repeatedly got easy shots when unguarded, and those chances often translated into scoring, further adding to the defensive pressure on Liaoning.
The Guangdong men's basketball team also has an advantage in rebounding and quick transition offense, further widening the score gap.
For the Liaoning men's basketball team, injuries and lineup adjustments are one aspect, but the more critical issue lies in the team's coordination and tactical execution.
On the offensive end, they need quicker player flow and clearer tactical intent to get away from Guangdong's tight defense.
In this case, the Liaoning men's basketball team needs to unite and face difficulties together, and they need to make adjustments in the fourth game to improve their offensive efficiency and defensive quality.
They also need to better protect their players to avoid another injury situation, and fans are very concerned about Li Xiaoxu's injury and whether Guo Allen will return.
Li Xiaoxu's injury has been preliminarily confirmed, but the specific recovery needs to be further observed.
Fans hope that he can recover soon and return to the game, and there is no definite news on whether Guo Allen will return.
Guo Allen is one of the core players of the Liaoning men's basketball team, and his comeback is very important for the team, and fans are looking forward to his return to help the team win, but also worried about his health.
