On the evening of May 17, Beijing time, the second game of the 2023-24 CBA finals had just ended, and the defending champion Liaoning Bengang defeated Xinjiang Guanghui 97-86 at home, temporarily taking a 2-0 lead in the series. Compared with the first game, the two sides set up a posture for an offensive battle, today's game The two teams obviously increased their intensity on the defensive end, for the Liaoning men's basketball team's inner double-core Han Dejun and Fu Hao, Qiu Biao also made a targeted deployment, although in the first half of the third quarter, the Liaoning men's basketball team once achieved a double-digit lead, but then their offense suddenly lost power, and the fourth quarter was opened by Xinjiang to play a 10-1 attack wave, and the score was overtaken in one fell swoop, Yang Ming chose the simplest and rude method at the critical moment, That is to hand over the ball to foreign aid Ferg and rely on Fergus's single-point explosiveness to solve the problem, and Ferg also lived up to expectations, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, and finally helping the Liaoning men's basketball team win a difficult victory at home.
In this campaign, the Liaoning men's basketball team continued the starting lineup of the last game, and in the squad, it only replaced Zhao Shuozhou with a small foreign aid Cooper. But in today's game, Moreland's state is still not good, Yang Ming still only gave Da Mo less than 11 minutes of playing time, Han Dejun, who broke out in the last game, received special care from the Xinjiang team today, although Da Han is still very the court, but he only got a total of 6 shots, 6 shots and 4 of 11 points and 8 rebounds, the two teams have been playing inextricably in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the Liaoning men's basketball team fell into a scoring crisis in the first half of the game, and the defensive end also accumulated five fouls early.
At the most critical moment, the experience of the Liaoning men's basketball team helped them, the immature Xinjiang players' performance on the free throw line today can only be described as a disaster, although the referee gave the Xinjiang team as many as 30 free throws, but the Xinjiang team only hit 18 free throws in total, and at the most critical moment in the fourth quarter, Huang Rongqi and Wiggington missed two free throws, which also indirectly helped the Liaoning men's basketball team win the final victory. And to say that the biggest contributor to the Liaoning men's basketball team's victory today, but also the small foreign aid Fogg, when the Liaoning men's basketball team's offense was in trouble, Yang Ming's chosen response strategy was to rely on Fogg's personal offense to solve the problem, on the other hand, the three foreign aides of the Xinjiang team, whether it was Jones, Wiggington, or Crick, the performance after the debut could not be compared with Fogg, Ferg alone got 34 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the whole game, the most important thing is that Fogg's free throws were 11 of 12 free throws, and he almost did nothing. As long as the Xinjiang team makes a mistake, Fogg will punish the opponent severely.
At the last moment of the game, when the scores of the two sides had lost suspense, Yang Ming also chose to replace Fogg with a substitute player, when Fogg was off the court, Yang Ming, who had always had a calm temperament, couldn't help but hug Fogg fiercely, from that moment, Yang Ming was almost excited to cry, after all, if it wasn't for Fogg in this game, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the Liaoning men's basketball team to win in the end.
