Liaoning men's basketball team eliminated Guangdong Hongyuan 3-2 to advance to the finals. In the case that Guo Allen could not come back and Li Xiaoxu was injured, Yang Ming could only choose to change the formation urgently in G4 and G5, Liu Yanyu, who had not played for the team before, was ordered in the last two games, but Liu Yanyu did not live up to the trust of the coaching staff, and played competitive in two consecutive games.
Liu Yanyu was originally in a state of abandonment in the playoffs, and in the interior rotation, Yang Ming only used Han Dejun, Moreland, Li Xiaoxu and Fu Hao, but due to Li Xiaoxu's accidental injury, in order to improve the team's interior frame protection and rebounding, Yang Ming had to boldly use young players. It was Yang Ming's bold decision this time that helped the Liaoning men's basketball team change the trend of the series, and Liu Yanyu became the team's bench wonder.
In the game against Guangdong Hongyuan G4, Liu Yanyu played 19 minutes, 6 of 10 in the game, cut 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and the shooting rate was as high as 60%. Liu Yanyu has a strong physical talent, especially the bouncing performance is very good, on the court very well limited Zhou Qi's play, the individual offensive end is also shining, in addition to the basket finishing efficiency, Liu Yanyu also developed a stable mid-range shooting, for the team to completely open up the situation. In the fifth decisive game, Liu Yanyu also scored 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in 3 of 3, dared to fight on the court, actively blocked and dismantled his teammates, and spared no effort on the defensive end.
In the next finals against the Xinjiang men's basketball team, in the face of the more flexible Wu Guanxi, in addition to Moreland to play a role, Liu Yanyu also needs to help Han Dejun relieve a certain amount of pressure and use his excellent frame protection ability to help the Liaoning men's basketball team defend the inside line. I hope that in the next games, Liu Yanyu can continue to play his value and role, strictly implement the tactical arrangements of the coaching staff on the field, and lay the foundation for the rise of next season.
