In the debut of the CBA finals, the Liaoning team defeated the Xinjiang team 121-112 at home and got off to a good start. Although it is a CBA finals game, the excitement of the Liaojiang battle is very average, and the intensity is greatly reduced. Compared with the Liaoyue War, this time the finals can be called rookies pecking each other, and there is nothing to watch. The performance of the Liaoning team and the Xinjiang team in the finals is actually a microcosm of the fall of the Chinese men's basketball team. The 37-year-old Han Dejun's violent departure made the Chinese men's basketball team desperate.
Liaoning and Xinjiang, both of which are traditional powerhouses in the CBA, have met 5 times in the playoffs and Xinjiang have won 4 times. However, in this finals, the Liaoning team defeated the Xinjiang team. This is not to say how well the Liaoning team played, but the Xinjiang team did play too badly, and was basically beaten on the floor by the Liaoning team in the first half.
Judging from the whole game, the overall performance of the Liaoning team is still good, Fu Hao, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, and Han Dejun all played in excellent condition. Among them, the 37-year-old Han Dejun is particularly respectable, a lot of age, and he also played a fast attack with Xiao Young to complete a domineering dunk. In the whole game, he scored 23 points and 6 rebounds, and he dreamed of returning to the top. On the contrary, the Xinjiang team, whether it is Wu Guanxi or Li Yanzhe, is completely controlled by Dahan, and there is no power to fight back.
If Han Dejun can still play in the forbidden area at the age of 37, it is old and strong. Then, Abudu, the new MVP, this battle was his night of shame, playing 41 minutes in the game, 2 of 8, 5 points, 8 rebounds and 5 fouls. 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter, Abdu hit the first goal, and in the first 31 minutes of the game, the MVP didn't score a point, such a performance turned out to be the strongest player in the CBA league.
In the past few seasons, we have been questioning the MVP of the league, from Wang Zhelin, to Wu Qian, and now to Abudu, they are the MVP strength in the regular season, but once they reach the playoffs, they disappear in an instant. In fact, it is not as good as Abudu and Wang Zhelin, it is on the side of the Liaoning team, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Fu Hao, don't look at the finals, they played well, but once they reach the international competition, how many of these people can stand up.
Since Yi Jianlian's retirement, the Chinese men's basketball team has dropped another notch. Although there is still Zhou Qi as a card player, compared with more than ten years ago, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team has fallen by a notch, which is an indisputable fact. In the past, we could play a good half-game game against the strong teams in Europe and the United States, and sometimes we could even wrestle with them, but now, we can't even win against Japan and the Philippines. It's no wonder that some Internet big Vs complain that the CBA finals are simply rookies pecking at each other.
