Du Feng chose to change the formation in G5, and he is indeed the most ambitious head coach in the league. In this duel, Guangdong threw everything it had to fight the other party. Ren Junfei, as the top salary inside line in the team, chose to return with injury and fight with the team. Although he suffered from a knee injury, he chose to stand with the team in the semi-final match.
Ren Junfei's comeback in this battle is also a last resort decision. Zhou Qi was injured by Moreland's dirty movements in a row in the G4 confrontation, resulting in serious injuries to his shoulder and waist, and he couldn't continue to persevere. He can only barely sleep by relying on painkillers now. Guangdong's game is for the fans, and it is also for Zhou Qi.
The 12-man roster, Du Feng adjusted. Zhou Qi was absent, and Ren Junfei returned to take his place. He is in a small lineup and can be pushed to the No. 5 position. And Li Yizhen, who had performed well before, was abandoned in this game. G4 confrontation, he didn't play well. Du Feng made a desperate bet and chose Zhang Wenyi, who had not appeared for a long time, which was an extremely risky decision.
Zhang Wenyi did not participate in the competition for a long time. Compared with Li Yizhen, his three-point shot is more stable. But the sense of oppression in defense is obviously not as good as Li Yizhen. Du Feng arranged for him to be in the squad in order to strengthen the threat of outside projection. Without Zhou Qi, Guangdong has no advantage under the basket. They can only hope for an attack from the outside.
Ren Junfei's arrival means that Waters' playing time will increase. The duo are the ace of the team. Ren Junfei's grabbing boards, strategies, blocking and dismantling, and stealing chickens work very well with Waters. During the period when Ren Junfei was suspended, Waters' playing time was significantly reduced, and this battle was his rightful battle.
Without Zhou Qi to play containment under the basket and lack of independent offensive ability, Bell's playing time will be compressed. When he's on the field, the offense tends to stall. The inside line can arrange Zhang Mingchi to play a dozen, he has improved a lot this season, and he can exert his power when he is ordered to do so.
For this life-and-death duel, Du Feng played the last hole card. Li Yizhen and Bale, the two big contributors to previous victories. Now one is not in the squad, and the other is less time. The combination of Waters and Ren Junfei can become the main player of the second team. Guangdong plays their favorite rhythm and has the strength to compete with their opponents.
After losing the defensive barrier, Du Feng gave it a go. There is no Zhou Qi on the inside, and Li Yizhen is withdrawn from the backcourt, which is obviously to put on a posture of attacking with all his might. The team must start the game and try to establish the initiative on the field in the first half. In the third quarter, you have to withstand the impact of your opponent. Without Zhou Qi guarding the inner line, Zhang Zhenlin will be liberated at this point, and Zhang Hao needs to follow him. The veteran returned with an injury, rendering a tragic atmosphere for Guangdong. Young players must put down their baggage and go all out to kill the opponent's penalty area!
