The schedule of the CBA Finals is out! Liao Basket welcomes two good and one bad news, and the suspense of Zhou Qi's contract renewal is revealed
After eliminating the Guangdong men's basketball team in the semifinals, Yang Ming gave the team players a day off, and Liao Basketball's big foreign aid Moreland and small foreign aid Cooper also appeared in the local shopping mall to "buy, buy, buy". The players of Liao Basket have adjusted their mentality very well, and their physical recovery is also very good. According to the schedule, the first game of the CBA finals is scheduled for 19:35 on May 15, and the Liaoning men's basketball team is confident to get off to a good start at home. Before the start of the game, Yang Ming also received some good news and bad news.
The first good news, the finals system adopts a best-of-seven system, and the first two are the home of the Liaoning men's basketball team. As Coach Yang Ming said, in the semi-finals, we were able to withstand the pressure to eliminate the Guangdong men's basketball team, which is also inseparable from the enthusiastic support of the home fans, and the shouts and cheers of the Liaoning basketball fans also brought energy to the players. Therefore, it must be difficult for the Xinjiang men's basketball team to play in the first two away games, and Coach Qiu Biao's goal plan is to win one game.
And Yang Ming's goal plan is to keep two home wins, because the home court of the Xinjiang men's basketball team is also difficult to play, and the Liaoning men's basketball team is not suitable for playing a seven-game protracted battle with the opponent, after all, there are many veterans in his team, and he consumes a lot of money in the semifinals and the Guangdong men's basketball team, and there are many injuries in the team, so the Liaoning men's basketball team has the idea to quickly end this round of finals.
The second good news is relative, Xinjiang men's basketball ace guard Zhao Rui's injury has been updated, he is currently suffering a large strain, and it is unrealistic to recover in the short term, his strain is somewhat similar to Guo Allen's early strain, so Zhao Rui may miss most of the finals for the sake of his career.
The Xinjiang men's basketball team has more young people, and the three foreign aides are very capable of playing, but the guard line is still not as good as the Liaoning men's basketball team in the absence of Zhao Rui. In particular, Zhao Jiwei and Fogg both found the super level of winning last year's championship in the semi-finals. Therefore, Xinjiang men's basketball head coach Qiu Biao specially issued a request to Yu Dehao, he must guard against Zhao Jiwei in the finals, and desperately spare no effort to consume Zhao Jiwei.
However, Yang Ming also ushered in a relatively bad news, the overall free throw level of the Liaoning men's basketball team in the semifinals has declined a lot, and the G5 life and death battle that eliminated the Guangdong men's basketball team is only 64%, and the big foreign aid Moreland's free throws in 6 in 1 are even more miserable, so it is not ruled out that the Xinjiang men's basketball team will be deployed on the shortcomings of the Liaoning basketball team, and Coach Qiu Biao can also carry out "shark cutting tactics" against Moreland at critical moments.
In addition, it is reported that Liaoning men's basketball rebounding king Li Xiaoxu is currently recovering from his injury, and he is very likely to make a comeback in the finals. However, it is also difficult for Yang Ming to decide whether to let Li Xiaoxu play, because Liu Yanyu played very well in the previous two games, and Fu Hao was promoted to the starting line-up, and Li Xiaoxu's current offensive level is far less than these two young people. Therefore, Yang Ming needs to do a good job in the deployment of personnel rotation.
It is worth mentioning that the Guangdong men's basketball team entered the offseason ahead of schedule after being eliminated by the Liao Basketball team, and the team is currently being exposed to be trying to persuade Zhou Qi to complete the contract renewal with the team, and Zhou Qi himself is not in a hurry to reach a contract renewal with the Guangdong men's basketball team. Zhou Qi hopes to go to the United States to treat his back injury first, see how the entire CBA market environment responds to him, and then make a decision.
Zhou Qi's original plan was to win the championship in the Guangdong men's basketball team, so that he could add endorsements in the offseason to make up for the loss of signing fees. But with the plan to win the championship in vain, Zhou Qi has to seriously think about whether to renew the contract. As Yang Ming said, Zhou Qi is the top center in the CBA league, so he can get a top salary of 6 million for any team he goes to. If there is really a team willing to pay a signing fee of about 50 million for Zhou Qi's team in the offseason, then according to Sui Ran's style, he will definitely help Zhou Qi sign the contract, and he will not talk about feelings with the Guangdong men's basketball team at all. Therefore, the suspense of Zhou Qi's contract renewal will not be revealed until the summer, and at that time, the Liaoning men's basketball team will also have the opportunity to fight for Zhou Qi's clubs.
