On the evening of December 11, the Shandong high-speed men's basketball team, which has just won two consecutive victories, will usher in another key game: away to challenge the Qingdao Guoxin men's basketball team in the same province. CBA Qilu Derby, here it is again!
According to the new format of this season, the Shandong men's basketball team will play 4 meetings with the Qingdao team in the regular season, and the first Qilu derby of the season will be ushered in on the evening of December 11. Since the start of the second phase of the regular season, the two teams have shown diametrically opposed trends: Qingdao first defeated the strong Xinjiang team 104-88 at home, but then suffered three consecutive defeats on the road, losing to Tianjin, Fujian and ShenzhenThe Shandong men's basketball team lost first and then won, and ushered in two consecutive wins after losing to two strong teams in a row, Zhejiang and Liaoning, and won Jiangsu and Fujian at home. Shandong men's basketball team was able to win two consecutive home games, in addition to the reason why the opponent was slightly weaker, but also had a lot to do with the comeback of the big foreign aid Gillenwater.
After missing six rounds due to injury, Gillenwater finally returned to the CBA in the round of 13 against Jiangsu. In the first game of his comeback, he scored 28 points to help the Shandong men's basketball team defeat the Jiangsu team 116-95. Next, in the Shandong men's basketball team's home game against Fujian, Gillenwater contributed a game-high 41 points to lead the team to a second consecutive victory. In these two games, although Shandong men's basketball foreign aid Shayok and main small forward Liu Yi were both absent due to injury, Gillenwater's comeback allowed the whole team to find the backbone. Some fans commented that Gillenwater is really the "thigh" of the Shandong men's basketball team, if it weren't for his injury and missed 6 games, the Shandong men's basketball team would definitely be ranked higher than now. In the first 14 rounds of the regular season, the Shandong men's basketball team ranked 12th in the standings with a record of 6 wins and 8 losses, only one win less than the Qingdao team (7 wins and 7 losses). Therefore, this game is another card battle for the Shandong men's basketball team.
Due to the emergence of teenager Yang Hansen, the Qingdao team is quite popular this season. This person is 2The 18-meter-old 18-year-old center has started all 14 games this season, averaging 37 appearances per game6 minutes, you can get 17 points 134 rebounds and 28 caps, the data is indeed very eye-catching. It can be expected that in the CBA Qilu derby on December 11, Yang Hansen will definitely bring a great threat to the inside line of the Shandong men's basketball team. Tao Hanlin, Jia Cheng and Gillenwater, whether these interior players can limit Yang Hansen's play is very important for the Shandong men's basketball team. In addition, the Qingdao team recently recalled a height of 2The 13-meter big center foreign aid Johnson, although he played mediocre against the Shenzhen team, he has made the Shandong men's basketball team suffer a lot in previous seasons. It can be expected that the inside line of the Shandong men's basketball team will face a lot of pressure in this game. In addition, the Qingdao team has always had a high win rate against the Shandong men's basketball team at home, and they will definitely go all out to win the Shandong men's basketball team after just returning to Qingdao after three consecutive defeats away from home. For the difficulty of playing away, the Shandong men's basketball team must be fully psychologically prepared. After winning two consecutive victories, the Shandong men's basketball team is now in high spirits, and if it can play the momentum of consecutive home wins over Jiangsu and Fujian, it is not hopeless to win the Qilu derby away. But Qingdao are not easy to mess with back at home, having won four of their previous five home games this season, losing only to Guangdong. Therefore, if the Shandong men's basketball team wants to win the Qingdao team away, it is actually quite difficult, and it is possible to lose the Qilu derby if you are not careful. In the game, the Shandong men's basketball team still has to fight hard to defend and maintain concentration on the game from the first quarter to the fourth quarter.
