On December 26, the CBA peak showdown was fiercely staged, with the Liaoning team and the Guangzhou team facing off, and Guo Shiqiang once again ushered in the confrontation with his old opponent. The focus of the game was the fierce battle on the back line, with Guangzhou having super defender Chen Yingjun and Liaoning also boasting top defender Zhao Jiwei. However, Zhao Jiwei felt hot in this game, especially in the second quarter, his shooting status was unstoppable, and he made 5 three-point shots in a single quarter, hit 4 times, and scored 12 points.
In the first quarter of the game, the Liaoning team fell behind the Guangzhou team 20:24, mainly because Zhao Jiwei had a poor hand and failed to drive the morale of the whole team. Except for Zhang Zhenlin's outstanding performance in the first quarter, the shooting percentage of other players was not outstanding, while the Guangzhou team relied on the play of foreign aid Moore and the efficient performance of Cui Yongxi and Jiao Boqiao to expand the score advantage. However, when the game entered the second quarter, the situation immediately changed drastically, and the main reason was that Zhao Jiwei regained his touch.
In the first 4 minutes of the game, he hit consecutive three-pointers, and then his shooting percentage continued to climb, completing four consecutive hits, while Guangzhou's core guard Chen Yingjun's shooting performance dropped sharply, shooting 1 of 5 and 0 of 4 three-pointers. This contrast helped the Liaoning team launch a wave of crazy counterattacks of 27:13, quickly turning from behind to leading. Zhao Jiwei performed bravely in three-point shooting, and even had excellent frontcourt rebounding performances. In his last game, he grabbed 10 rebounds and completed a super triple-double.
With 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the second quarter of the game, Zhao Jiwei grabbed the frontcourt rebound again and completed the second offense, bringing the Liaoning team's lead to double digits. When Zhao Jiwei's goal began to attract the opponent's defense, Zhang Zhenlin's hand gradually improved, and his shooting rate continued to rise, and he made a layup to score the 15th point of the first half.
In the end, after halftime, Zhao Jiwei shot 6 of 12, 4 of 6 three-pointers, scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and he is expected to complete another triple-double feat in this game;Zhang Zhenlin made 7 of 8 shots, scored 15 points, and completed 2 assists. Guo Shiqiang witnessed foreign aid Ferg not score a point in this game, and Moreland only scored 3 points. However, the domestic twin stars of the Liaoning team stepped forward and supported the entire lineup of the team.
These two players have a close relationship with Guo Shiqiang, one is his right-hand man in the men's national basketball team, and the other is the ace superstar of the Liaoning team. However, surprisingly, under the leadership of these two players, Guo Shiqiang's team suffered a heavy defeat. Zhu Mingzhen and Chen Yingjun, the two players who played against them, did not perform well, Zhu Mingzhen only scored 2 points, and Chen Yingjun only scored 4 points. As a result, the duel between the two core players and the sluggish performance of the other two core players led to the Guangzhou team having to fall behind.
