At 48:52, The North Control team entered the intermission with a quarter-point difference in the first half of the match with Shanxi. The reason why this game is highly anticipated is entirely due to the performance of Shanxi team in recent times, only one loss in the past four games, especially the victory over Liaoning team, which has allowed many fans to see the potential of this Shanxi team at present. The North Control team has won two and lost two of their last four matches, and although it is a youth army, it is still very competitive under Marbury's tuning. In this game, the North Control Team can be called the home of the little devil, and many young players like Liao Sanning, Wang Junjie and Zhang Fan have played extremely well. In the starting lineup, Marbury sent zou Yuchen, Yu Changdong, Liao Sanning, Zhang Fan and Hou Yifan five players.
The two sides were evenly matched from the opening stages of the game, with the maximum point difference not exceeding four points. Although the Shanxi team has always occupied the active situation, but has not opened the point difference, the North Control team in the first quarter of this game can only rely on Liao Sanning to open the offensive situation. Zou Yuchen was replaced by the field after playing less than eight minutes for three fouls in a single quarter, while Haas, who came off the bench, although his rebounding protection ability was extremely prominent, his offensive ability was relatively average. On the other hand, the Feld of the Shanxi team is completely unstoppable. In the first quarter, 15 points were scored, the first quarter ended the game to 25 draws, and in the second quarter, Shanxi started from the inside line and won two consecutive offensive attempts, and Marbury requested a timeout twice in a row in order not to be pulled apart. Thus changing the passive situation on the field, Shanxi team led by four points at the end of the half.
The entire first half of the North Control team can be called a little ghost, north control three young Liao Sanning, Zhang Fan and Ma Yong combined to contribute 24 points and 6 rebounds. Although Liao Sanning is a rookie this season, he has shown maturity and sophistication, contributing 11 points in the first half of six shots, especially the two emergency stop jump shots, which fully demonstrate Liao Sanning's solid skills. In this game, Liao Sanning faced Feld's strict defense with only one mistake, and contributed 11 points and 4 assists at halftime, which is the best explanation of his personal ability. Today's Liao Sanning can be called the new thigh of the North Control Team, and Marbury's cultivation of him has achieved results.
Zhang Fan's performance was relatively sluggish, scoring only 6 points in six shots in the first half. Fortunately, Ma Yong fell from outside the three-point line, helping the North Control team to keep biting the score. The inner line that the North Control team is proud of in this game did not show much advantage, the internal line of the Shanxi team was also high, Zou Yuchen, Wang Shaojie, Yu Changdong, Haas four players only combined to score 15 points. In addition to the above four internal linemen, Sun Siyao, the eye-catching xiu who was introduced to the North Control team this summer, was completely abandoned. Sun Siyao's playing time after joining the North Control team this year was extremely limited, and he was basically hidden by Marbury. Marbury should also be surprised by the relative downturn of the inner players and activate this amazing soldier with unlimited potential.
