This victory not only made fans look forward to the road of the Liaoning team to win the championship, but also brought a series of exciting news, let's take a look!
Zhao Jiwei set a new record in the finals: an all-round warrior on the back line
To say that one of the focal points of this game is none other than Zhao Jiwei. The Liaoning guard played almost the whole game today, with a one-minute break in the first half, and his performance on the court also deserves our respect, not only contributing 13 points on the offensive end, but also showing great efficiency on the defensive end, taking six rebounds and four steals. Although there are also small regrets of 4 mistakes, he does not hide his flaws, and he proves his comprehensiveness with practical actions. What's even more amazing is that Zhao Jiwei's performance this night made him add another heavy stroke to the historical record of the CBA finals - 10 points, 8 assists, and 4 steals, which only appeared on the stage of the finals a total of 5 times, and Zhao Jiwei alone dominated the third. Such an achievement is undoubtedly the best commentary on his outstanding ability and game wisdom.
Yang Ming modestly stated: Win in the moment, it is best to take a victory away from home
The joy of victory did not make Liaoning head coach Yang Ming lose his cool. Facing the camera, Yang Ming showed extraordinary humility and calmness. "As far as we are concerned, it is better to sum up this ball, make the rotation of personnel more reasonable, and at the same time suppress the characteristics of the Xinjiang team, the home team has the aspect of stimulating the excitement of the players, but there is also half of the pressure aspect, I also hope to seize this, I hope that the next game, in the home field of Xinjiang, it is best to take away a victory! Best!. From Yang Ming's words, we can know that playing at home has the advantage of boosting the team's morale, but it also comes with great pressure. When the team is leading 2-0, it still does not relax, but can stay focused in the next away trip to Xinjiang and strive for the next city, which is both modest and ambitious, which is the embodiment of the spirit of Liao Basket.
Fu Hao wants to grab FMVP: the shining moment of the new star on the inside
If Zhao Jiwei is a model worker on the guard line, then Fu Hao is the pillar of the Liaoning men's basketball team. After scoring 29 points and 9 rebounds in the last game, he contributed 18 points and 9 rebounds in this game, and his outstanding performance in two consecutive games made Fu Hao the favorite for FMVP (Most Valuable Player of the Finals). Whether it is accurate mid-to-long-range shooting or tough under-basket confrontation, Fu Hao has shown maturity and stability beyond his years. If he can maintain this state, Fu Hao is very likely to lift the first FMVP trophy of his career, which is not only an affirmation of his personal efforts, but also the strongest proof of the internal strength of the Liaoning team.
