The CBA semifinals, the crucial fifth game, is not only about the honor of the two teams, but also a contest of interests. When this key battle was approaching, the Guangdong men's basketball team suffered a heavy blow - the team's core player Zhou Qi was unable to play due to injury.
This undoubtedly makes the lineup of the Guangdong men's basketball team even worse. Zhou Qi, as the guardian of the interior line and an important part of the offensive end, his absence undoubtedly made the Guangdong team's tactical system face a major adjustment. However, the Guangdong men's basketball team did not lose its fighting spirit. They reacted quickly, convened players to discuss countermeasures, and looked for new ideas to deal with the offense of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
In this crucial battle, how will the Guangdong team make up for Zhou Qi's absence? Where will they find the strength to defeat the strong Liaoning team? Let's explore the mystery of this uphill battle.
For the Guangdong men's basketball team, Zhou Qi's absence is undoubtedly a huge blow. He is not only the pillar of the team's interior line, but also an important button on the offensive end of the organization. In previous games, he stepped up at critical moments many times to turn the tide for the team. Zhou Qi's absence reshuffled the tactics of the Guangdong team.
But the Guangdong men's basketball team did not give up on itself. Instead, they acted quickly and called the players for urgent discussions to find a strategy to cope. General manager Zhu Fangyu and head coach Du Feng know that this game is not only about the honor of the team, but also a severe test of the will and quality of the players.
As a result, the Guangdong team began to explore new tactical combinations and lineup combinations. They plan to let outside players such as Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie take on more offensive responsibilities and disrupt the defensive rhythm of the Liaoning team through accurate passing and quick breaks. At the same time, rookies Xu Xin and Zhang Mingchi will also get more opportunities to play, and they will need to show a tougher attitude on the defensive end and contribute as much as possible on the offensive end.
In general, the Guangdong team is undoubtedly looking for multiple breakthroughs when dealing with this tough battle. Whether it's the spirit of unity, tactical adjustments or the explosion of young players, it is likely to be the key to Guangdong's victory.
This coping strategy based on team cohesion undoubtedly highlights the unique temperament of the Guangdong men's basketball team. They were not demoralized by Zhou Qi's absence, but instead gathered a stronger sense of unity at this critical moment. This concept of unity is strength may be the key to the Guangdong team's ability to soar against the wind in difficult situations. Although the Guangdong men's basketball team is facing the dilemma of Zhou Qi's absence, the Liaoning men's basketball team is also facing a lot of challenges.
In the last game, the victory of the Liaoning team mainly relied on the excellent performance of Liu Yanyu and Fu Hao. And this time, it is difficult to say whether they will break out again. On the other hand, although Zhao Jiwei, a veteran of the Liaoning team, recovered his touch in the last game, but in this round, Coach Du Feng will undoubtedly strengthen his defense and make him dumb again.
Moreover, Moreland, the foreign aid of the Liaoning team, has always been known for his hot temper. In the last game, although some of his irrational behaviors did not affect the team, if he gets out of control again this time, I am afraid it will become a breakthrough for the collapse of the Liaoning team.
At the same time, the Guangdong team will also set its sights on the rookie players on the inside - Xu Xin and Zhang Mingchi. With Zhou Qi unavailable, the two youngsters will have the opportunity to shine in key moments. Xu Xin, with his excellent height advantage and interior defensive ability, is undoubtedly the key to making up for Zhou Qi's absence. And Zhang Mingchi's outstanding performance in the last game also gave people a lot of surprises, and he may become the rookie king of the Guangdong team in this tough battle.
In the last semi-final between Guangdong and Liaoning, he brought an unexpected surprise to the Guangdong team with his excellent three-point shooting rate. And this time, he may become the rookie king of the Guangdong team in the absence of Zhou Qi.
Although the Liaoning team is strong, they also face many hidden dangers. Through in-depth research and analysis, the Guangdong team found the weakness of the Liaoning team and formulated targeted tactical strategies. They hope to catch the Liaoning team off guard with precise strikes and efficient attacks.
Unity is strength, this is not only the declaration of the Guangdong team at this moment, but also the goal they expect to achieve in this crucial battle. In the regular season, the Guangdong men's basketball team once experienced the experience of Zhou Qi being absent due to injury and Xu Xin starting. At that time, the 20-year-old showed extraordinary strength, and even the opponent coach Guo Shiqiang had to be convinced.
Now, at the critical moment when Zhou Qi is unable to play, Xu Xin is once again pinned on high hopes. His height advantage and interior defensive ability are undoubtedly the key to making up for Zhou Qi's absence. Moreover, in the last semi-final with Liaoning, another rookie Zhang Mingchi also gave people an unexpected surprise, and he shot three points and played impressively.
This undoubtedly made the coach of the Guangdong team, Du Feng, feel very pleased. He knows that it is undoubtedly a great asset to have such a group of young players full of potential at a critical time. Not only can they play a role on the defensive end, but they may also become the rookie kings of the Guangdong team on the offensive end.
It is worth mentioning that in the semi-finals between Guangdong and Guangsha, another inside player, Li Xiaoxu, also broke out at a critical moment and wrote a wonderful page for the Guangdong team. This momentum of young players breaking out at critical moments undoubtedly gave the Guangdong team firm confidence.
