Three more good news on the night of the Liao Basket victory! Zhao Jiwei ushered in the strongest helper, and Yang Ming finally waited!
97-86, the Liaoning men's basketball team won another big victory in the second game of the finals! Compared with the first game, I think the victory in the second game is more meaningful to the Liaoning team!
Because in the first game, it was obvious that the Xinjiang team was not able to match the intensity of the Liaoning team in the opening stage, so the Liaoning team quickly took a big lead in the first quarter! But this game was different, the Xinjiang team directly stopped the Liaoning team in the opening stage, and Yang Ming was even forced to call a timeout!
Although the Liaoning team gradually found the feeling of the game and even stretched the difference to 15 points at one point, the Xinjiang team tied the score again in the fourth quarter! Therefore, the Liaoning team encountered enough difficulties in this game, and it can be seen that the Xinjiang team has also tried its best, but the gap between the two sides is too obvious, and in the end, in less than four minutes, the Liaoning team seized the opportunity to lock in the victory directly with a wave of 9-0!
For the Liaoning team, on this night of big victory, more important than a victory, they have three other gains, and they are also three good news!
The first is the psychological advantage, after winning this game, the big score of the finals has become 2-0, in the history of the CBA, since there has been a 7-game 4-win format, there have been a total of 12 2-0 leads, and the final leading teams have all won the championship! In addition, this game is also the 10th consecutive win of the Liaoning team in the finals, and they have swept their opponents 4-0 in the past two seasons in the process of winning two consecutive championships! Therefore, even if we go to the home field of the Xinjiang team, I believe that the psychological advantage is still on the side of the Liaoning team!
The second is the problem of the lineup gap, perhaps after the first game, many fans still have great hopes for the Xinjiang team, because they have achieved a record second only to the Liaoning team in the regular season! Many fans think that the reason why they lost to the Liaoning team in the first game was because they didn't play well at the beginning, because they were ahead of the Liaoning team in the next three quarters! But it turns out that the gap between the current Xinjiang team and the Liaoning team is all-round!
Take the second game as an example, it can be seen from the opening stage that the Xinjiang team has made sufficient preparations before the game, and they also grabbed the start well, and the score was once 8 points ahead of the Liaoning team! But the Liaoning team encountered too many such scenes, and they overtook the score at the end of the first quarter without hurrying! And stretch the margin to double digits before the end of the first half!
As for the gap between the lineups between the two sides, the most obvious is in the fourth quarter, when the Xinjiang team once overtook the score, a three-point score from Zhang Zhenlin of the Liaoning team and a 2+1 from Fu Hao quickly opened the difference again! When the Liaoning team missed the opportunity to the Xinjiang team in a row, the Xinjiang team missed 4 free throws in a row! This is the most direct gap between a team that has reached the finals for the first time in recent seasons and a team that has reached the finals five times in a row and won two consecutive championships!
Therefore, after watching the second game, the current Xinjiang team does have a long way to go if it wants to beat the Liaoning team in the series!
The last and biggest piece of good news is Fogg's outbreak, the Liaoning team scored a total of 97 points in this game, and Fogg alone scored 34 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and sent 5 assists! How important is Fogg's outburst to the current Liaoning team?
First of all, the most intuitive embodiment is that he can score the most points on the team, can grab the most rebounds on the team, and he can also deliver the second-highest assists on the team, and at the same time he can control his mistakes well! The result is that whenever the team is in trouble, he can step up and help the team! Take this game as an example, when the team was tied or even overtaken by the Xinjiang team in the fourth quarter, Fogg scored 10 points in a single quarter to help the team stabilize the situation and win the victory!
Secondly, what the data does not reflect is that his outburst completely liberated Zhao Jiwei, in other words, Zhao Jiwei waited for a season and finally ushered in his strongest helper, including Yang Ming, who still chose to believe in him when he was in a long-term slump in the second and third phases of Fogg, and this time he finally waited for Fogg's outburst!
Zhao Jiwei played more than 46 minutes in both finals, why he was able to stay on the court for a long time, it was because of Fogg's outburst that completely liberated him, Zhao Jiwei played almost the fourth quarter in this game, but he barely had any ball in the whole quarter, he was on the court to attract the opponent's defense! The reason why he has this respite is because Ferg took over the game, and without Fogg's outburst, I believe it will be difficult for the Liaoning team to win this game!
But this is the championship team, this is the championship foreign player, he will always step up when the team needs him the most! The outbreak of Fogg in this game not only helped the team win the game, but also gave Zhao Jiwei a time to adjust, so in the next game, Yang Ming will usher in a full-fledged Fogg and a short recharge of Zhao Jiwei, which is undoubtedly great news for the Liaoning team's away trip!
