Can the defending champions come back from the dead? Liao Basket was forced to change formations, and the first local person is expected to explode again!
On May 8th, Beijing time, the first half of the CBA semifinals Liaoyue battle continued to be staged, this game is the fourth meeting between the two teams in the series, the first three against Liao Basket one win and two losses are at an absolute disadvantage, and what's worse is that under the best-of-five system, Liao Basket is now facing away from the cliff, and if it loses again, the season will be over.
Liao Basket, which has no way out, can only win G4 to bring the series back to Shenyang's home court, but the difficulty is really, really big. Because of this game about winning or going home, not only the long-awaited Guo Allen continued to be absent, but the rebounding maniac Li Xiaoxu was also exempted from the game due to injury, so the strength of Liao Basket was weakened again.
Head coach Yang Ming was also forced to change the lineup, activating Liu Yanyu, who rarely got the opportunity to play this season, and let him replace Li Xiaoxu in the 12-man squad. However, Liu Yanyu is obviously inferior to Li Xiaoxu in terms of competition experience and physical strength, so Liu Yanyu cannot replace Li Xiaoxu, and it is impossible to expect him to make much contribution, but there is no choice, so he can only use it head-on.
If the Liao Basket that played in the remnants wants to think of coming back to life, it depends on the performance of the main players. Only Zhang Zhenlin, who has the best performance in G1, can break out again, and Liao Basket can turn the tables against the wind.
In fact, Zhang Zhenlin's performance in the past against the Guangdong Hongyuan team has been very good, the regular season has hit a career-high score of 46 points, and the finals have also scored a key equalizer, and in the first game of this year's semifinals, he once again turned the tide and sent the Guangdong Hongyuan team to a black start.
However, in the second and third games, Zhang Zhenlin's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was substandard, so Liao Basket lost two consecutive games and both were big scores, and the losses were complete. But this is obviously not Zhang Zhenlin's real level, it may be that his mentality has changed due to the interference of field factors, so the rhythm is out of order.
Coincidentally, today happened to be the day when Liao Basket played against Zhejiang team G1 Zhang Zhenlin in the finals last year and won a triple-double - contributing 13 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming the first person in the country. Maybe he can wake up Zhang Zhenlin, who has been in the doldrums for two games, and look forward to him rebuilding his confidence in the Guangdong Hongyuan team, cashing in his true level in the game, leading the Liao Basketball team to rise against the trend, and making the impossible possible, let's see you in Shenyang!
