Tonight, a heavyweight battle in the CBA is about to be staged. Liaoning and Guangsha will usher in the first meeting between the two sides this season.
At present, Guangsha is the only team in the league to remain unbeaten so far. Will Tonight's game be guangsha continue the pace of winning streaks, or will it be broken by Liaoning undefeated gold?
Judging from the two teams' encounters last season, Guangsha swept the opponent in the regular season, while Liaoning sent Guangsha home in the playoffs. Basically, there is no division between up and down. In fact, such a result fully reflects the equal strength of the two sides.
In terms of the ability of the players alone, there is no doubt that Liaoning is the stronger side. Han Dejun sat on the inside line, Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen formed the backcourt, Zhang Zhenlin and Fu Hao and Li Xiaoxu Cong Mingchen formed the front line, the lineup is perfect.
But in fact, Liaoning often does not reflect the advantages of personnel in the game. This is because Liaoning has a huge hidden danger in defense, that is, Dahan's blocking and demolition defense. One of the characteristics of this season's Liaoning race is that regardless of whether the opponent wins or loses, someone will score more than average. For example, Chen Yingjun when playing Guangzhou, Jiang Weize when playing Jilin, Jia Hao, Yuan Shuai and Zhang Ning in Shanxi, playing Xinjiang let Shalamu get the highest 43 points of the season, and even Xi Xi could fight with Liaoning to the end.
These players all started from playing Han Dejun's blocking and dismantling, which caused great trouble to Liaoning. And when Liaoning changes its defense to joint defense, it will give the opponent's outside pitchers a lot of opportunities. Looking at the two teams' encounters last year, the two Guangsha games won in the regular season were started from the defensive loopholes of Dahan, especially Zhao Yanhao, whose erratic positioning and accurate shooting made the Liaoning team suffer a lot.
Therefore, in tonight's game, the most important winner or loser is whether Liaoning can effectively deal with the loopholes in Dahan on the defensive end, and whether Guangsha can take advantage of the defensive loopholes of the Liaoning team to win in the case of the overall strength disadvantage. That's what tonight's game is all about.
I look forward to a wonderful match between the two sides.
