On November 2, Beijing time, Shougang and Shenzhen competed in the eighth round of the regular season, and in the end they lost 91-99 to the opponent, suffering two consecutive defeats. Zhang Zhuo, an internal player who came off the bench in this game, almost became a miracle soldier, and he performed prominently in the third quarter, and was an important player for the team to chase points in succession. At the same time, in this game, the main interior lineman Li Muhao also experienced injuries, he injured his leg less than three minutes before the game, and was supported by his teammates, and the injury is currently unknown. It is also worth mentioning that Fang Shuo returned in this game, but due to a long absence, he was not in good shape, and his long-range shots were deflected out one after another, and it was obvious that he still needed some time to find his form.
The Shougang team was tight in this game, Fan Ziming was suspended for four fouls, and Zhu Yanxi had to truce due to a foot injury. Under such circumstances, the Shougang team more often raised Zhai Xiaochuan to the fourth position, and also activated the inner line Zhang Zhuo, who had rarely played before.
Shougang played poorly in the first two quarters, both inside and outside the line are fully tight, the game is very ugly, the point difference is more behind, and they have fallen behind their opponents by 15 points at the end of the half. Just when many people thought that the game was transitioning to garbage time, the Shougang team staged a point-chasing storm in the third quarter, and they played a 10-3 scoring climax to quickly reverse the situation on the field. During this time, Zhang Zhuo almost played the Odd Soldier, whether it was a counterattack or an internal score, he could seize his own opportunities and did not live up to the trust of the coaching staff. After the third quarter, the Shougang team forced the point difference to 4 points, and the suspense of the game returned.
In the last quarter, the two sides were still fighting each other, Shougang team Zhai Xiaochuan, Raymond and other players continued to score points, contributing to the team, but unfortunately the team has not been able to complete the score, in the last three minutes, Li Muhao suddenly encountered a leg injury, he had to be supported by his teammates. It also became a turning point in the game.
At the same time, Fang Shuo, who made his debut this season, also failed to seize some long-range shooting opportunities, which made the Shougang team lose the last hope of turning the tables. Fang Shuo underwent leg surgery in the offseason and has since entered a long recovery period, this game is his first game of the new season, obviously his form is far from before, he scored a total of 9 points, shooting 12 shots and only 3 hits.
After the game, head coach Yannis believed the team had lost two important interior players, which had a detrimental effect on the team. At the same time, playing poorly in the opening stage and losing the rebound in the front court at key moments are also the causes of defeat.
Yannis said after the game: "We didn't have Zhu Yanxi and Fan Ziming in this game, which had a big negative impact on us, although I am not a coach who loves to make excuses, but this is a fact. This also affects li Muhao's need to stay on the field longer. We want the lineup to be healthy and getting better and better. ”
At the same time, Yannis said after the game that he played poorly in the opening stage, resulting in a large number of point differences, which made the team continue to catch up. At the same time, they lost four rebounds in a row in the final quarter, which made them lose their chances in the most critical stage of chasing points. But in the end, Yannis also praised the fighting spirit of the whole team. 'The team has always been very hard, not affected by the scores, they have always fought like a warrior in the game."
What is even more worrying is that the inside main player Li Muhao injured his leg in this game. After the game, Li Muhao told the Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter that he thought it was a problem with the calf muscles, "The more he ran to the back, the more painful it was." "At present, there is no determination whether to carry out an MRI examination in the future, and Li Muhao is now more likely to undergo ice treatment."
Lee came off with less than three minutes left in the game, when he felt unwell in the absence of confrontation and was then supported by his teammates. After the game, Li Muhao told the Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter: "I don't think there is too much of a problem, but it depends on the situation behind. It is a calf muscle problem, running to the back, the more you run, the more painful it is. ”
Raymond passes the ball for Lee Muhao
Li Muhao does not know whether to undergo an MRI examination, which depends on the decision of the team doctor. He is currently on ice. In this game, due to the absence of two important interior players Fan Ziming and Zhu Yanxi, Li Muhao's time on the field increased rapidly, and he played nearly 37 minutes in this game.
At present, shougang team has experienced two consecutive defeats. Shougang's next round opponent is Fujian, which is a good buffer and morale boost opportunity.
