On the evening of October 30, in a focus match in the 7th round of the 2021-2022 CBA regular season, Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent fought hard for 4 quarters, took nearly 2.5 hours, and finally defeated Guangdong Dongguan Dayi 124-101, breaking the defending champion's unbeaten golden body and winning four consecutive wins.
In this campaign, Zhejiang's Wu Qian shot 5 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, scored 29 points and 12 assists, and was the first contributor to Zhejiang's victory. In addition, Yu Jiahao had 26 points and 17 rebounds, Cheng Shuaipeng had 21 points, and Zhu Xuhang had 17 points and 8 rebounds, all of which also had excellent performances.
Although Guangdong's Xu Jie scored 24 points, he shot only 1 of 6 three-pointers; Zhao Rui shot 0 of 4 from three-point range, 6 points early, and only scored 14 points; Hu Mingxuan scored 13 points on 0-of-5 shooting from three-point range; Zhou Peng scored 18 points, Yi Jianlian played 8.6 minutes and had 10 points and 4 rebounds.
It was the second time the two teams had met this season. In the first meeting, Guangdong defeated Zhejiang 110-94. Before this campaign, Guangdong ranked second with six consecutive wins, while Zhejiang ranked third with 5 wins and 1 loss. Meet again, and both teams are eager for victory.
In the game, Guangdong coach Du Feng arranged for Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Ren Junfei to start the game; Zhejiang coach Liu Weiwei arranged for Wu Qian, Zhu Xuhang, Lu Wenbo, Zhang Dayu and Wang Yibo to start their debut.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat at both ends of the attack and defense, and from time to time there were people on their backs on the field, and the whistles of the 3 referees were also one after another. Among them, in a scramble, the ball actually flew out of the stadium and smashed into the shoulder of Guangdong coach Du Feng.
In the fierce battle, Guangdong team Yi Jianlian once again showed a strong internal control, he blossomed inside and outside, scored consecutive points, and helped Guangdong team establish a leading edge.
Because the defenders of both teams have a strong ability to break through and score, the duel between them is also very fierce, especially the contest between Zhao Rui and Wu Qian, which is white-hot. In order to limit Wu Qian's score, Zhao Rui received 3 fouls shortly after the opening.
Of course, under the close care of the other side, Wu Qian did lose the crosshairs at the beginning, and after 7 attempts, he hit the first goal of the sports battle. In the first quarter, Zhejiang shot less than 17 percent of the shots, while Guangdong's shots were close to 40 percent. In the first quarter, Guangdong led Zhejiang by 22-20 by 2 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, after the UAE League came off, the Guangdong team made significantly more mistakes and the shooting rate dropped; while the Zhejiang team Cheng Shuaipeng and Zhu Xuhang successively found the feel, they frequently projected on the outside line, and maintained a high shooting rate. Wu Qian also gradually got rid of the interference of the Guangdong team's defenders, shooting and free throws inside and out, and scoring quickly in double figures. At the end of the half, Zhejiang team surpassed Guangdong team by 8 points 51-43.
In the second half, the Guangdong team did not adjust to the state, but instead lost power in the third quarter, fell into a scoring drought for a long time, and the point difference became wider and wider. With Wu Qian hitting a three-point whistle in the quarter, Zhejiang led Guangdong by 21 points at 89-68. For the Guangdong team, 21 points behind the opponents, it is very rare. In this quarter, although the Guangdong team scored 25 points, more than the 21 and 22 points in the previous two quarters, they let Zhejiang get 38 points. In this section, in a tough confrontation, Hu Mingxuan had physical contact with the other party when he defended Wu Qian's basket, and then bled in his mouth, suspected that his lips were broken, and could only be treated. To a certain extent, this once again weakened the combat effectiveness of the Guangdong team.
In the last quarter, Yi Jianlian still did not appear, and the Guangdong team stubbornly counterattacked in adversity. Unfortunately, they have never been able to regain their bravery. Zhao Rui just played 2 minutes, he received the 6th foul, and he could only helplessly go down. During the departure, he was blown by the referee for a technical foul for venting his emotions. After performing this free throw, Zhejiang's Wu Qian hit another three-pointer, and the score came to 102-75. Zhejiang team led by 27 points! The game basically lost the suspense of winning or losing.
