The Guangdong men's basketball team showed its might at home, sweeping the Liaoning men's basketball team with a score of 98-82. Speaking of which, one can't help but be reminded of the old saying: "On our own turf, we are in charge!" "Isn't this the Guangdong team interpreting this sentence vividly?
Let's talk about Yang Ming, the coach of the Liaoning team, the tactical arrangement of this game makes people feel that he has really reached the point of "exhaustion"? He tried to adjust the team by increasing the rotation in this game, but it didn't seem to work, but it made the team's offense more weak, and the defense was running all over the court, but he couldn't catch the opponent's flaws. In this game, Yang Ming's strategy is like forgetting to put salt when stir-frying, no matter how fresh the ingredients are, the taste is always a little bit worse.
Compared with Yang Ming's headache, Coach Du Feng of the Guangdong team seems to be much more at ease. Especially Zhou Qi, the big man simply swept thousands of troops under the basket, scoring 13 points and 12 rebounds, with a plus/minus of +23, such a performance is simply the level of MVP. Moreover, not only did the defense do a good job, but his blocking and dismantling cooperation with Waters was also wonderful, making the Liaoning team's defense porous one after another.
And when it comes to playing beautifully, I have to mention Zhang Haojia, this young man's three-point shot today is almost surprisingly accurate, and his performance on the court is like a little sniper. Whenever the Liaoning team wanted to narrow the point difference, he would stand up and throw a "reassuring pill", which directly deflated the opponent. No, Coach Du Feng also specially formulated a personal defensive strategy for Zhao Jiwei in Liaoning, which was like setting up a small trap, making Zhao Jiwei a little powerless in this game.
Speaking of powerlessness, Zhang Zhenlin of the Liaoning team was also quite expected in this game, but he did not burst out of the energy he should in the game, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Liaoning team. The team's three-point shooting rate is only 28.6%, which is really hard to support them to go far. And Li Xiaoxu's injury made the team like a plate of loose sand, without the momentum of the past.
Looking ahead, the Liaoning team does need to make some adjustments. The first is the mentality, it's not terrible to lose a game, but it's the morale to lose. Yang Ming will need to find a breakthrough in the next game and adjust his tactics, especially how to effectively use Zhang Zhenlin's impact, which will be the key for them to catch up. As for the Guangdong team, they just need to maintain their current form and continue to play their team advantages, especially in the outstanding performance of local players, and can have the upper hand in the next games.
The competition is not only a contest of skills, but also a game of psychology. Judging from this game, the Guangdong team is not only technically superior, but also psychologically more stable. Their home advantage is greatly magnified and every player feels like they are charged and full of energy. The Liaoning team, on the other hand, needs to work hard to adjust its mentality, and must not let the temporary backwardness affect its long-term combat effectiveness.
Overall, this game is not just an ordinary playoff game, but more like a battle of strategy and psychology. The Guangdong team showed their deep heritage and on-the-spot adaptability, while the Liaoning team exposed some problems under pressure. In the long run, if Liaoning can learn from this defeat, they will still be an opponent to be reckoned with in the future.
For the next match, the audience must be looking forward to it. If the Liaoning team can adjust their attitude and correct their tactics, then they are fully capable of turning the situation around again. As long as the Guangdong team continues to maintain stability and make good use of each player's strengths, they will be able to expand their advantages as much as possible in the next games.
In the end, no matter which team wins the event, this kind of game is enough to be memorable. Because this is not only a contest of players, but also a contest of coaches' wisdom, a contest of strategies, and a psychological game. That's the beauty of sports, where every match can have unpredictable outcomes and every matchup can spark a different spark.
Returning to the game itself, we can also see the overall progress of Chinese basketball, both at the technical level and in the competitive state, there has been a significant improvement. Such a game is not only the victory or defeat of the players, but also the epitome of the development of the entire basketball sport. Through such high-intensity confrontation, not only the individual skills of the players will be improved, but also the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the whole team will be strengthened.
So, as basketball fans, we have reason to have higher expectations for the future of Chinese basketball. Every game and every progress is a small step in the process of Chinese basketball in the process of moving towards the world's basketball power. Let's wait and see how these brave teenagers will paint their own brilliant chapters in the future arena.
