It is unbelievable that the Guangsha men's basketball team has defeated the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team twice in a row this season. Last night, in the 16th round of the CBA regular season, Zhejiang Guangsha team challenged the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team away. In this game, the Liaoning men's basketball team is still absent because of the injuries of Guo Allen and Cong Mingchen, and the Guangsha team has defeated the Liaoning men's basketball team in a meeting this season, so this time, the Liaoning men's basketball team is bound to go all out. However, in the end, the Liaoning men's basketball team lost 86-99 at home to the Guangsha team, thus achieving a double defeat of the opponent this season and a four-game winning streak.
In terms of statistics, the Guangsha team had six players score double-doubles, including Hu Jinqiu scored 19 points, Oliver got 17 points and 10 rebounds, Zhu Junlong got 16 points, Zhao Jiaren got 14 points, Sun Minghui got 13 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, and Wharton scored 13 pointsThe Liaoning men's basketball team also had six players score double-doubles, Zhao Jiwei scored 17 points, Zhang Zhenlin scored 11 points, Fogg scored 12 points, Fu Hao, Han Dejun and Yu Zechen all scored 10 points, Li Xiaoxu got 6 points and 10 rebounds, and the big foreign aid Moreland only got 8 points and 7 rebounds. In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were evenly matched, and it wasn't until Wharton hit a three-pointer late in the quarter that the Cantons took a slight lead. At the end of the first quarter, the Liaoning men's basketball team trailed the Guangsha team by 2 points at 27-29.
In the second quarter of the game, the Guangsha team quickly established a 10-point lead under the leadership of Hu Jinqiu, but Han Dejun and Fogg continued to attack, using free throws to close the score, and at halftime, the Liaoning men's basketball team trailed the Guangsha team by 3 points at 54-57. In the third quarter of the game, the Guangsha team changed its defensive strategy and used the trap method to limit Zhao Jiwei's play, causing the Liaoning men's basketball team to stagnate on the offensive end, and the Guangsha team took the opportunity to expand the point difference. With the three-point shots of Fu Hao and Zhang Zhenlin, the difference gradually narrowed, and at the end of the third quarter, the Liaoning men's basketball team fell behind the Guangsha team 75-82. In the fourth quarter of the game, the Guangsha team continued to attack and continuously expand the point difference, although the two sides began a tug-of-war, because the Guangsha team has maintained a double-digit lead, and finally successfully defeated the unstoppable Liaoning men's basketball team.
It is worth mentioning that in the game, there was a war of words between Liaoning men's basketball coach Ugo and Guangsha coach Wang Bo. According to the on-site video replay, after the Guangsha team's foreign aid Wharton hit the three-point shot, head coach Wang Bo may have been emotional and shouted a dirty word to the Liaoning men's basketball bench, triggering a verbal altercation between the two head coaches. In the post-game interview, Liaoning men's basketball coach Ugo said: "I have a lot of respect for every coach, but I can't accept that the other side swears at us, which I can't accept." Ugo refused to shake hands with Wang Bo after the match, which made Wang Bo feel very unhappy. However, according to relevant news, the head coach of the Guangsha team apologized to Liao Basket in the post-game interview, and even specially communicated with Ugo face-to-face. Therefore, we can trust that the two sides have shaken hands and made peace.
It is worth mentioning that Liao Basket performed well in the early stages of the game, but became very passive in the next three quarters, especially in terms of outside shooting. Therefore, Liao Basket's loss to the Guangsha team was not unjust. However, the good news is that after the Liao Basket loss, head coach Ugo and his players have begun to make tactical corrections to the shortcomings in this game, which will provide them with a chance to attack the championship trophy. At the same time, Allen Guo's comeback time is getting closer and closer. According to the current news, Allen Guo can already participate in the 5-on-5 intra-team match, which means that he is ready to play at any time.
