On the evening of December 30, the 23rd round of the 2023-2024 CBA regular season ushered in the New Year's War, and the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team defeated Nanjing's top Sujiu (Tongxi) team 100-92 at home, winning three consecutive victories. After winning this game, the North Control team rose to eighth place in the winning percentage list.
The Beijing Enterprises team has played at home in the past three rounds, and has previously defeated the Ningbo team and the Shandong team, and the winning rate has returned to 50%. Coach Min Lulei's pragmatic style of play allows the Beijing Control team to maintain a high winning rate when facing the middle and lower reaches of the winning percentage list. In this game, the Tongxi team, which was ranked 15th before the game, played dominance at the beginning and once led 15-8. The strong point of the Tongxi team is the small foreign player Blakeney, whose tandem and scoring help the team to bite the score. Zou Yuchen continued to attack on the inside, helping Beikong lead 31-21 in the first quarter.
Both teams saw their second-quarter shooting percentages drop, and point guard Liu Xiaoyu, who was playing his 600th CBA game, used his experience to ensure the team's offensive success rate. Both teams scored 15 points each in the quarter, and the North led 46-36 into the second half. The third quarter was a game in which Beijing Control laid the victory, and Liao Sanning came off the bench and sent several wonderful passes to Zou Yuchen on the inside. The North Control team grasped the opportunity of switching between attack and defense well and continued to expand the lead. At the end of the quarter, North Control led by 20 points at 80-60. This also made the game lose the suspense of victory and defeat in advance.
In the game, a total of 6 people in the Beijing Control team, including Zou Yuchen, Liao Sanning, Yu Changdong, Zhang Fan, Meng Zikai and Felder, scored "doubles", among them, Zou Yuchen scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Min Lulei said after the game, "Blakeney and Lin Wei played well in the first few rounds, and we also focused on the defense of them before the game, including Liu Xiaoyu and Liao Sanning, as well as the team's pinching and rotation did a good job. For Liu Xiaoyu, who played in the CBA for the 600th time, Min Shuai affirmed, "Some athletes have beautiful data, but some are unknown to contribute to the team, Liu Xiaoyu is such a player, indispensable to the team." ”
