On the evening of the 29th, the second game of the CBA Finals was held in Zhuji. After a hard battle in extra time, the Liaoning team narrowly defeated guangdong team 102-98, and the score of the two sides became 1-1. Liaoning team Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin and others have impressive performances, among which Zhao Jiwei hit a three-pointer in the last minute, dragging the game into overtime, which also became the key to this game.
Liaoning fell behind 0-1 in the previous big score, and they were forced into a desperate situation in the format of three wins and two wins. In the second game of the finals on the 29th, the overall performance of the Liaoning team was significantly better than the first game, just as head coach Yang Ming said before the game, "The team's mentality has been normal." Liaoning was still behind in the first two quarters, but they overtook the score with Guo Allen's strong score in the third quarter. After entering the fourth quarter, both sides had a chance to win. Originally, the Guangdong team had touched the championship trophy, but they missed Zhao Jiwei in the last minute defense, allowing the latter to hit a three-pointer, which was also the only 3 points that Zhao Jiwei hit, but the value was as precious as gold, and the Liaoning team dragged the game into overtime.
Talking about this key three-pointer at the post-match press conference, Zhao Jiwei said: "Before this shot, I had a few shots before that, and I felt good, but I didn't score, I didn't talk about anything, mainly the trust of the coach and my teammates, just like the coach said 'give me a job'!" Yang Ming, who was beside him, teased, "Am I so rude?" In the whole game, Zhao Jiwei shot 2 of 9, 1 of 6 from three points, 2 of 2 from the free throw line, and had 7 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.
In extra time, rookie Zhang Zhenlin continued to perform strongly at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and on the stage of the finals, Zhang Zhenlin continued to show his extraordinary talent and super psychological quality, and his performance did not look like a rookie player at all, but like a veteran who had been playing for many years.
The Guangdong team actually had a chance in overtime, especially when they pressed the whole field at the last moment, making the game suspenseful again, but after Zhao Rui's three-point projection was deflected, everything lost its meaning.
In this game, both teams played at a very high level, and this level of play was completely matched to the finals. The two sides also entered the third game, a more intense and brutal competition to determine the championship.
For the final showdown, Liaoning coach Yang Ming was not willing to talk more after the game, he was more willing to regard the Guangdong team as a strong enemy, "In fact, after winning the ball, our lounge is still very calm, because we are mainly impact-oriented, the opponent is the ten champions, the defending champions, their bench depth and experience are stronger than us, so we have no pressure, we have completed the task." ”
Guangdong coach Du Feng said: "This game is very dramatic, it is a pity. We had baggage in the lead and didn't let go of the last game. In the end, the game was lost, and several young defenders paid the tuition and went back to prepare for the next game. Talking about Zhao Jiwei's final three points in the fourth quarter, Du Feng said, "This should not be formulated by the other side, the other side shares the ball, we did not do a good job in the rotation, the game is like this, it is normal." ”
In the final battle, was the Guangdong team successfully defending the title, or the Liaoning team's revenge successful? Let's wait and see!
