14 points upset, West Heat helped stop the 6-game losing streak, and the 40-quarter lead was finally reversed
Beijing BAIC's away win over Shandong was considered a bloodless victory, while Nanjing Tongxi suffered six defeats. Who knew that the first place Wang Lanyan was injured, and Farr did not play five minutes later, which made the Tongxi team not only turn defeat into victory, but also have a one-sided situation. From the first half, Beijing BAIC fell into passivity and completely lost its attack speed, and in the next game, they were all suppressed by Tongxi. This is also the biggest dark horse in the CBA that has won all five games, and it is also the only team in the whole game that has won one against two.
In fact, in this game, the pressure on Nanjing Tongxi's coach Xi Relijiang was much greater than that of Beijing BAIC's, and the six consecutive losses also made his players a little disheartened. If he loses at home, he is in danger of being sacked. As a result, the opening of this game was more intense, and Beijing BAIC achieved a good score of 4-0 at the beginning, and Beijing BAIC had already achieved a 4-point advantage of 28:24 in the first quarter. What Nanjing Tongxi is most afraid of is not these four points, but Farr's injury seems to be still recovering after 5 minutes and 9 seconds on the court, which will become the biggest test they will face next. Without Farr, his defensive ability will be greatly limited, and Zeng Fanri and Blakeney will have more opportunities. What's even more terrifying is that when Beijing BAIC caused 6 fouls to Zeng Fanri and Liu Dong in the penalty area, Beijing BAIC was very likely to win the game.
However, after Beijing gained a four-point advantage in the first quarter, Beijing BAIC no longer adopted the strategy of actively attacking the restricted area, because their big foreign aid Farr could not play. On the contrary, Xirelijiang's side, still maintains his own rhythm, and his focus is still on the positional game, because the key is whether he can win the game, if he rashly launches an offensive and can't get points, then he will lose the cover of rebounds, and then he will be used by the opponent for a quick counterattack. Sure enough, Beijing BAIC 6 people won more than two, but this did not prevent Tongxi five people from winning double-digit records, among them, Blakeney 42 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, Zeng Fanri 12 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, Wu Tingjia 20 points, Liu Dong 10 9 rebounds. Although he contributed five rebounds and five rebounds, his well-timed defense and packing were important factors in the team's victory. Moreover, he can observe the situation on the battlefield and make changes accordingly, reducing the chances of attacking. So, not only did he have 29 assists in the game, which was second in Beijing, but his three-point shooting was also 50% of the 32 shooting.
In the Beijing men's basketball team, although there are 6 players who have double-digit high scores, including Fan Ziming 12 points, Lief 14 and 9 rebounds, Zhai Xiaochuan 15 and 10 rebounds, Zeng Fanbo 11 6 rebounds, 13 Qiu Tian with 13 and 7 rebounds, and Keane with 19 and 6 assists. But none of them can score more than 20 points, and Fang Shuo, as the core player, is very bad, he has played 33 minutes, but his performance is very bad, he got 4 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists, 1 steal. 2 shots 11, 2 three-pointers, 6 3-pointers 0, when Fang Shuo has no offensive ability, his backline has become the biggest flaw. What's even more puzzling is that Beijing BAIC let Fan Ziming play for 16 minutes without Farr, and Beijing BAIC only got 26 free throws in the whole game, 9 more than Tongxi. Fan Ziming's shooting success rate in the restricted area has increased to 75 percent, and he has no disadvantage in the face of Zeng Fanri. But Jorio played too many times in this game, and after 27 minutes, he scored 13 points, but the shooting rate in the restricted area reached 57%, which was obviously inferior to Fan Ziming.
And in this game, he also pinned all his hopes on this one, because they have lost six games in a row and can no longer afford any losses. So, this victory became their lifesaver, so from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, five people did not play, only Liu Dong substituted. This is quite a challenge for Nanjing Tongxi, and if Beijing BAIC continues to keep their penalty area attacking, I think Tongxi will become very difficult in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter. Xi Re, Lin Wei, Zeng Fanri, Wu Tingjia, and Blakeney, by this time, they were all exhausted, it was a team that looked big, but in fact only the five of them and Liu Dong were on the field. Beijing BAIC's lineup, most of which are experienced players, but there are nine substitutes, and in this kind of high-density game, they are confident that they still have a chance to turn the game around with the advantage of outside the three-point line without a quick attack in the third quarter.
It's a pity that Beijing BAIC has followed the Tongxi team's style of play from beginning to end, especially in the case of the opponent's three-point all-round shot. However, it was never possible to find a breakthrough in the offensive. In the end, he only comforted Ding Wei, and then brought his enthusiasm to his side.
