Zhao Rui and Guo Allen are absent, and Li Xiaoxu is back! CBA Finals Game 1: The 12-man roster of both sides is released
Beijing time, Wednesday, May 15, 2024. After a season of fierce battles, it is time to see the real chapter! It's time for the finals! Tonight, in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, the defending champion Liaoning Bengang faced the strong Xinjiang Elite! At present, the 12-man roster for each of the two sides for this game has been released!
We saw that on the Liao Basket side, Guo Allen continued to be absent, but the "second brother" Li Xiaoxu made a comeback. With this high point, coupled with Han Dejun and Moreland, the impact of Wu Guanxi and Li Yanzhe on the opposite side can be suppressed.
On the Xinjiang side, Qiu Biao previously pointed out that Zhao Rui's injury was not a bone injury, but a strain, but whether to play respects science. We saw that after Xinjiang eliminated Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent in the semifinals, Zhao Rui returned to Xinjiang with a little "limp". In this finals, he continued to be absent. And on the Liao Basket side, Guo Allen, who was on the opposite side, did not make a comeback. However, judging from Guo Allen's recent form, he does not rule out being able to play at the last moment of the finals. We continue to observe.
The Liaoning men's basketball team is a strong soldier. Their team has been basically built more than 10 years ago, and then there are constantly veterans withdrawing, such as Liu Zhixuan, such as He Tianju, such as Yang Ming, etc., who retired, and then there are fresh blood to add in, such as Zhang Zhenlin. Overall, Nova has a sparkle of brilliance, but it is not bright enough. For example, Liu Yanyu, who played Guangdong in the semifinals and became a wonder soldier, but can he continue to dazzle? And Yan Shouqi, Zhou Juncheng and other players still need to work hard.
On the Liao Basket side, it is Zhao Jiwei who is stable! It's Fu Hao! It's Ferg and Moreland. These players with a reasonable age structure fought all the way to the finals stage! In the past 5 seasons, Liao Basket has reached the finals, losing to Du Feng's Guangdong team in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. In the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, they defeated two teams from Zhejiang to win the championship. This season, face the strong Xinjiang!
On the Xinjiang men's basketball team's side, the lineup is indeed luxurious. They have purchased a number of top domestic players this season, such as Wu Guanxi, such as Zhao Rui, such as Li Yanzhe, plus Abudu Salamu, Qi Lin, Yu Dehao, and other local players. and the signing Jones, who plays a super role from time to time. The other two foreign players, Wiggington, Crick are also solid.
The luxurious lineup of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, after all, is the run-in of the first season, and it is not very stable. Under the leadership of Confucian handsome Qiu Biao, it has been very successful and progressive. If they play smoothly, the stars will break out collectively, which is enough to make the Liaoning team, which has a slightly older age structure, have an impact. However, if it is suppressed, it will come to a standstill if it has the same ups and downs as it did in the semi-finals against Chouzhou. The defending champion Liaoning is a team that specializes in "playing seven inches" and is very good at grasping the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent.
In this finals, four wins in seven games, I am optimistic that the two teams will not rush to a 4-0 sweep, and it will definitely be a situation of ups and downs and fierce battles. Because the players on both sides are very resilient, and that's what attracts the fans!
