"If a master makes a move, the winner is only a millimeter." This is an eternal truth on the basketball court. In the recent Liaoning-Guangdong war, fans witnessed a thrilling duel, watching the young players of the Guangdong team on the court and the veterans of the Liaoning team fighting wits and courage, and people couldn't help but sigh the charm of basketball. And in this showdown, we saw the power of Du Runwang, and the healthy Zhou Qi deserves the title of the Great Demon King.
Before the start of the game, many people were still questioning Du Runwang's ability. Some people think that his scoring is not outstanding, and he can't completely limit the opposition's core players defensively. But in this battle of Liaoyue, Du Runwang responded to these questions fiercely with his "three points of rain". His accurate three-point shot is reminiscent of Mitsui Shou in "Slam Dunk" - "It's good to have you." ”
Du Runwang's several three-pointers shot through the Liaoning team's defense like cold arrows, bringing the morale of the Guangdong team to the peak. Although he doesn't score much in every game, he always gives the opponent a fatal blow at the crucial moments. His presence has opened up space for Guangdong to attack, allowing other players to better play their punches. What's more, every three-point shot he made was like a hammer, which made the mentality of the Liaoning team gradually collapse. Sure enough, as a regular of the national team, Du Runwang's value is far more than just scoring.
When it comes to the victory of the Guangdong team in this series, the healthy Zhou Qi is undoubtedly the core hero. In the G1 game, due to the absence of Zhou Qi, the Guangdong team lost to Liaoning by 20 points. However, in the G2 and G3 games, Zhou Qi made a strong comeback, and the Guangdong team defeated Liaoning by nearly 20 points one after another, completing the big reversal.
Although Zhou Qi does not seem very explosive in terms of scoring data, his influence on both offensive and defensive ends is obvious to all. His rebounding, defense, and intimidation all make the Guangdong team look like a completely different team. Averaging just 27 minutes per game, he single-handedly changed the course of the game. His defensive coverage is so large that the interior offense of the Liaoning team is almost impossible to play.
In fact, the Guangdong team also paid enough attention to this big devil. His dominance under the basket is undoubtedly invincible, especially after Yi Jianlian's retirement, Zhou Qi has become the inner pillar of the Guangdong team, with long arm span, tall height, good physical fitness, and solid skills, all of which make it difficult for him to be limited under the basket.
However, the game also made people see the plight of the Liaoning team. Once Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin were locked by the high-intensity defense of the Guangdong team, almost no one in the Liaoning team could stand up to solve the situation. Yang Ming also seemed a little helpless, so he could only use the main players, causing Zhao Jiwei to be exhausted every game. The Guangdong team has obviously studied this in depth, and their strategy is to constantly consume Zhao Jiwei.
Rejuvenation and multi-point flowering have become the key to the victory of the Guangdong team. In contrast, the depth of the bench and the development of young players of the Liaoning team appear to be insufficient. Although the Liaoning team is still slightly better in terms of overall strength, they were caught off guard in the case of the sudden change of formation of the Guangdong team.
Each position is singled out, except for Zhou Qi, the Guangdong team does not occupy an obvious advantage in other positions. But that's the charm of the Guangdong team's system. Du Feng's tactical arrangement is ingenious, the team execution is strong, and the young players get a lot of playing time, even at the cost of the record.
It is this system that allows a miracle soldier like Du Runwang to play well at critical moments, and also allows Zhou Qi to maximize his role. Zhou Qi is at home in Guangdong's system, and his rebounding and defensive abilities are fully utilized, which also makes Guangdong look like two completely different teams with and without him.
However, it also exposes the dilemma of the CBA's current interior players. The skills of the center are generally degraded, and techniques such as footwork under the basket and left-hand hook hands are rare. If there is a technical center like Wang Zhizhi or Yao Ming, Zhou Qi's role may be greatly reduced.
But the reality is that a healthy Zhou Qi is still the top interior player in the CBA, worthy of the title of the big devil. His dominance, technical versatility and defensive intimidation under the basket are unmatched by other players. Du Feng and the Guangdong team naturally also gave him high trust and attention.
This Liaoyue war allowed us to see Du Runwang's role as a strange soldier and the invincible dominance of a healthy Zhou Qi. So, how much do you think Du Runwang and Zhou Qi play in the Guangdong team? Will they be able to lead the Guangdong team to greater glory? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
