The finals of the new CBA season will start on the evening of May 15, Liaoning men's basketball team VS Xinjiang men's basketball team, the competition system is 7 games and 4 wins, and the first game will be played at the home of Liaoning men's basketball team, which is the first time in the history of the two sides to meet in the finals.
Liaoning men's basketball team's new season playoffs journey is not particularly smooth, although easily defeated the Shenzhen men's basketball team, but the fierce battle with Guangdong once needed to play to G5 to determine the winner, Yang Ming can win 2 games in a row in a 1-2 backward situation, in addition to the players and foreign aid burst out of amazing energy, luck is also on the side of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Zhou Qi due to a back injury G5 can not play, which makes the 5 battle almost one-sided, Liaoning returned to the home easily defeated Guangdong to get the place to advance to the finals.
In the first game of the finals, whether the physical recovery of the core players of the Liaoning men's basketball team can meet expectations, whether Li Xiaoxu can come back, these are the focus of attention from the outside world, and Guangdong's strategy for Zhao Jiwei won 2 games, whether Fogg and Zhang Zhenlin can share more handling rounds, the difference between Xinjiang and Guangdong is that the error tolerance rate of the forwards and the interior line is higher, Wu Guanxi, Abudu, Li Yanzhe are entangled, Han Dejun, Moreland, Fu Hao will bear greater challenges. If the whole team can play the offensive and defensive rhythm of G5, Liaoning has a better chance of getting off to a good start, on the contrary, once the physical recovery fails to meet expectations, and the error tolerance rate of the guard line is not as high as imagined, Qiu Biao is likely to focus on.
Xinjiang returned to the finals after a lapse of 5 years, and Abudu is already the absolute core, but other local players have been replaced, and the same is true for foreign aid, including head coach Qiu Biao, who is also playing in the finals for the first time.
Before Xinjiang departed for Shenyang, Qiu Biao said in an interview with the media: Our goal is to win the championship, but in terms of the process, we must disassemble from the details, from each round, and from everyone's focused defense. There is a relatively large gap between our overall experience and the other side, and we can only find tacit understanding through hard work.
If Wiggington and Jones can play at the level of the semifinals, and Yu Dehao and Huang Rongqi are entangled, Zhao Jiwei, Fogg, Xinjiang's guard line rotation is a notch higher than Liaoning. On the striker side, Qi Lin and Abudu are also in charge, and Tang Caiyu also has the possibility of becoming a surprise soldier, and Zhang Zhenlin may not be completely on the target, but Abudu has a strong ability to solve problems, and he is one of the absolute cores of Xinjiang.
Xinjiang's biggest problem may be the inside finals experience, Li Yanzhe and Wu Guanxi are difficult to achieve a state of creating advantages alone in the new season against Liaoning, Moreland may burst Xinjiang's penalty area in terms of defense and rebounding, whether Qiu Biao can have a way to limit Moreland, or like Du Feng, directly Moreland is on the court to send him to the free throw line, these are the focus of attention from the outside world.
