In the first game of the finals, the Liaoning team defeated the Xinjiang team 121-112 at home, although it only won by 9 points, in fact, the game lost its suspense early, and the Liaoning team led by 20 points at most, and it can be said that it was garbage time. From the point of view, the two sides are not teams of the same level! The frontcourt advantage of the Xinjiang team was not brought into play, and Abdul Salamu only had 5 points; Although Qi Lin scored 16 points, he left the game with 6 fouls early. Han Dejun scored 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting, beating Wu Guanxi and Lee Yanzhe. The lineup of the Xinjiang team is very thick, but almost all of them are role players, and the three-point shot is too poor, only Qi Lin is a shooter, and the space cannot be opened.
Fu Hao recently exploded
In the fourth game with the Guangdong team, Fu Hao played 35 minutes, 13 of 26, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and scored 31 points and 9 rebounds. In the fifth game with the Guangdong team, Fu Hao played 31 minutes, made 8 of 12 shots, and scored 18 points and 3 rebounds. In the last game, Fu Hao continued to run wild, playing 41 minutes, shooting 12 of 15, and scoring 29 points and 9 rebounds. In the last three games, Fu Hao's data is a little terrifying, especially the shooting rate, three-pointers, throws, hooks, how to play.
Fu Hao's performance is so good, it has something to do with the absence of one person, that is Li Xiaoxu! Li Xiaoxu did not play in the two games against the Guangdong team, and only played 3 minutes against the Xinjiang team in the last game. Fu Hao's playing time has been 20-25 minutes before, and his playing style is relatively conservative, after Li Xiaoxu was injured, Fu Hao's playing time was more than 30 minutes, and he completely released it on the offensive end and opened up space.
It may not be good to say this, but the fact is that it is more beneficial for the Liaoning team for Li Xiaoxu not to play, why do you say so? Li Xiaoxu didn't attack, his shooting was too poor, and he couldn't even score free throws. With Fu Hao and Liu Yanyu, it is more conducive to the attack of the Liaoning team. Li Xiaoxu's defense is not as good as we imagined, his low-post defense is okay, once it is expanded, the shortcomings of slow movement speed are exposed. There are many people in the Liaoning team who can grab rebounds, and Fu Hao grabbed 9 rebounds in the last game.
Will Fu Hao win the MVP of the finals?
Judging from the first game, the finals can be boring, far less than the Liaoyue battle. The highlight may be who the MVP of the finals will go to? Zhao Jiwei, Fu Hao, Zhang Zhenlin, Han Dejun, and Fogg are all possible, Fu Hao's scoring and efficiency are so high, I'm afraid that the MVP of the finals will be his.
