In the fourth round of the CBA League, Beijing Shougang faced Sichuan Jinrong, Beijing defender Liu Xiaoyu scored a team-high 15 points in 20 minutes, and led the team to a 101-66 victory over Sichuan, while in the third round of Beijing Shougang's 109-103 victory over Shanghai Jiushi, Liu Xiaoyu scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, and at the moment when Fang Shuo could not return to the team and Jeremy Lin had not yet arrived, Liu Xiaoyu seemed to have a sunny day for the team's defender line. The team's streak win over Shougang head coach Yannis is clearly in a good mood. Commenting on Liu Xiaoyu's recent outstanding performance, he said that Liu Xiaoyu is a smart player. Compared to previous seasons, he has clearly not been in a hurry this season. "It's not about going to the top and looking for attacking chances, it's about letting the chances find itself." At the same time, Yannis made a very interesting analogy at the end, he compared Liu Xiaoyu to red wine, hoping that the longer the time, the more fragrant the taste. And Liu Xiaoyu also responded humorously: I am Lafite in 82.
Coincidentally, in the fourth round of the CBA League, the Shanghai Sharks, who had just been defeated by Beijing Shougang, met the league boss Guangdong Hongyuan, this time the luxury sharks once again suffered defeat, and the team finally collapsed in the fourth quarter after facing Guangdong Hongyuan for three quarters, and finally lost 97-112. After two consecutive wins, the team has also experienced two consecutive defeats, two wins and two losses in four games, and now it seems that at least temporarily, the Shanghai Sharks have not gotten rid of the embarrassment of a fierce operation before the start of the season, and when it comes to the league, it is still in place. The shark's dream of becoming a dark horse is only a dream for the time being. And the leader of Guangdong Hongyuan to defeat the Shanghai Sharks in this game is still a veteran, he is Guangdong Hongyuan's captain Zhou Peng.
In this game, Zhou Peng's play is quite a bit of a taste of old man talking about juvenile madness, facing the luxury division Shanghai Jiushi, he played 31 minutes, efficiently got the highest 31 points in the game, and the state was like a god, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, shooting a shooting rate of 75%. Shooting 10-of-13 from two-point range, he shot 77 percent from the field. Even the always slightly worse free throws reached 100%. However, there were only two free throws. There are also 12 rebounds in the account. The overall performance can only be described as perfect.
Liu Xiaoyu and Zhou Peng are both from Guangdong Youth Training, Liu Xiaoyu played with Guangdong for nine seasons, then transferred to Shanghai for two seasons, then transferred to Beijing Shougang, and now has five seasons in Beijing Shougang. During the period experienced injury troubles, the state is also ups and downs, and even once rumored to part ways with Beijing Shougang, this season in fang shuo absent, young players can not stand up to the situation, Liu Xiaoyu's state is quite rejuvenating, can average 14.3 points per game, 6 rebounds. It is already the core of the team's defender line, and in the game against the Shanghai Sharks, it is the first contributor to the team's victory against the old master. Now old and strong, it has finally become a glass of rich red wine in the eyes of the coach.
Zhou Peng, who was in the same period as Liu Xiaoyu, was half a year younger than Liu Xiaoyu. Unlike Liu Xiaoyu who chose to drift, he is a representative of one city and one person, from his debut in 2006 to the present, he has played for Guangdong Hongyuan for 16 seasons, and has long become the soul of this team, as the captain he is also one of the spiritual leaders of the team. Especially in the case of Yi Jianlian's injury and inability to play, he also led the team to win the league championship under extremely difficult circumstances last season, and the team established a three-consecutive championship. This season, he averaged 16.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, which is close to the level of the peak of his career, where his old teammate Liu Xiaoyu has become a cup of honorable 82-year Lafite, I don't know if the current Zhou Peng is also a bottle of 82-year Lafite? I don't know what coach Du Feng will give.
