The first game of the CBA finals was lifeless, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team has changed to a certain extent in the second game of the finals, at least the players' mental outlook and hard work have improved, but the Xinjiang men's basketball team still failed to take away a victory from the away side. What does it mean to be 2-0 down in the finals? No team has ever won a championship before.
Therefore, the Xinjiang men's basketball team has reached the edge of the cliff.
In fact, the Xinjiang men's basketball team also realized the crisis, and behaved more actively after the start of the second game, stopping the Liaoning men's basketball team soon after the opening. Liaoning men's basketball coach Yang Ming was a little dissatisfied with the team's performance, and after the adjustment, the Liaoning men's basketball team regained control of the situation on the court, and suddenly opened the score before the end of the first half, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team became a chaser in the second half of the game.
Throughout the game, the Xinjiang men's basketball team still seemed to be unprepared, and the defense of the Liaoning men's basketball team did not have a good effect. not only did not do enough to defend key people, but also allowed players such as Han Dejun and Fu Hao to continue to play efficiently, which also doomed the Xinjiang men's basketball team to defeat. Fu Hao's performance in the finals is eye-catching, and he is undoubtedly the key to the Liaoning men's basketball team's ability to take the lead.
In the first game of the finals, Fu Hao played 41 minutes, Fu Hao scored 29 points and 9 rebounds on 12-of-15 shooting, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team had no way to defend Fu Hao. In a sense, the Xinjiang men's basketball team was very flustered by Fu Hao, so much so that fans joked that "the Liaoning men's basketball team has signed the mysterious 'fourth foreign aid'".
Fu Hao's performance is indeed amazing enough, but is this an accident?
Since joining the Liaoning men's basketball team, Fu Hao's performance has not met the team's expectations, his state has fluctuated greatly, and he has not been able to grow into an indispensable core player of the team in the Liaoning men's basketball team. But the situation that cannot be ignored is that Fu Hao was in quite good shape before the end of the regular season, and continued his competitive form in the playoffs.
Especially in the semifinals against the Guangdong men's basketball team, Fu Hao has become one of the pillar players of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
The Liaoning men's basketball team lost two games in a row, and at the critical moment when the score fell behind the Guangdong men's basketball team, Fu Hao stepped forward in the semifinals G4, and scored 31 points and 9 rebounds in that game to help the team tide over the difficulties. scored 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting in the life-and-death battle, Fu Hao made great contributions to the team's promotion to the finals, and this seemed to allow him to completely put down his burden and find himself.
The first game of the finals was a full house, and in the second game, 18 points and 9 rebounds on 6-of-12 shooting were still important.
Fu Hao's performance in the playoffs is quite hot, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team will not be unprepared for his defense, but in the case of the overall performance of the Liaoning men's basketball team, it is obviously not easy for the Xinjiang men's basketball team to prevent every strong point. Fu Hao seized the opportunity to constantly kill the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and several difficult goals had a relatively important impact on the game to a certain extent.
The outstanding performance of these two games also made Fu Hao one of the strong contenders for the MVP of the finals. However, the Xinjiang men's basketball team will inevitably improve the defensive level and confrontation intensity when it returns to its home court, and whether Fu Hao can continue the hot state of the playoffs is a test for him personally and the Liaoning men's basketball team.
The most critical moment is coming.
