On the evening of January 30, the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team faced Nanjing Tongxi team at home, and finally the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team defeated the opponent 103-97 with the joint efforts of all the players, and won seven consecutive wins for the first time, creating the longest winning streak in team history for the second time in the season, and the overall record became 22 wins and 15 losses. After the game, Beijing Control coach Min Lulei said that he didn't think too much about the winning streak, he just wanted to play every game seriously and win every game that should be won. In this game, when the situation was stalemate and the opponent was crazy to chase points, everyone's confidence was very strong, and someone stood up in every game, and he thanked the players for their hard work.
After defeating Guangsha in the last round, the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team ushered in the second consecutive six wins of the season, and the self-confidence of the players has been built. Back at home, even if Min Lulei did not deliberately pursue a winning streak, the players, especially for some veteran players who have experienced five consecutive wins in the past 8 impacts, are their only pursuit. The one who experienced the most pain was Zhang Fan, and he became the biggest contributor to the team's victory in this game.
After the opening, Beijing Control first stood up with Jin Xin, who had a good performance in several consecutive games, he hit two long-range shots and 2-pointers, 10 points in hand, helping the team take the lead in the first quarter of the game, so that North Control took the lead to end the first half of the game, although the 7-point advantage was not very big, but it has been suppressing the Tongxi team, and there is a feeling of controlling the situation.
The course of the second half was a bit tortuous, but it can be seen through the two quarters of the game that the North Control players have matured and are not prone to the collapse of the third quarter or the final quarter as they have been in the past few seasons. In the third quarter, the Tongxi team sent Farr, his height is indeed outstanding, and when attacking under the basket, the North Control player can only try to prevent him from scoring through continuous fouls, but it is still very difficult to deal with it, and the number of fouls of several players continues to accumulate, and Min Lulei has to replace the interior players continuously.
Even so, Farr quickly scored 15 points. However, Beikong maintained continuity in the offense, Zhang Fan hit 3 3-pointers in succession, Meng Zikai's half-volley and two assists Yu Changdong's basket offense, Liller's breakthrough, Beikong did not fall behind on the offensive end, making the Tongxi team's "big move" invalid. At the end of the third quarter, Xi Relijiang had to replace the exhausted Farr, and North Control expanded the score gap to 12 points.
In the decisive quarter, Blakeney and the teenager Lin Wei both came to feel the feeling, and led Tongxi to continue chasing points, and the score difference returned to single digits again, and the situation on the court became a little tense. At the critical moment, Zhang Fan stood up again and extinguished the flame of the opponent's counterattack with two 3-pointers, the veteran Liu Xiaoyu desperately defended Blakeney, Meng Zikai and Chen Guohao, who was finally replaced on the court, went all out to grab the rebound, and Beijing Control maintained the victory to the end, ushering in the longest 7-game winning streak in team history.
Zhang Fan scored 24 points on 6-of-9 shooting from beyond the three-point line in the game, and Riller scored 23 points on just 2-pointers and free throws, and all the players worked together to beat their opponents for the second time this season. The significance of this game is not only to set a team record, but also to beat potential playoff qualification rivals, and to increase the self-confidence of the players, making the team more mature and united.
