In the CBA, every game carries the honor and dream of the team. The recent matchup between the Guangsha men's basketball team and the Liaoning men's basketball team has aroused the eagerness of fans. The game was full of drama, from the announcement of the player's injury to the final decision of the game, every moment was gripping.
First of all, personnel changes on the pitch became the primary focus of this game. Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, and Zhao Jiaren were absent due to injury, while Sun Minghui held his position with injury. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Liaoning team, because in the game, these players are both the backbone of technology and the symbol of team morale. The Guangsha team has an advantage in this aspect, the core lineup is roughly complete, and the only uncertain factor is Sun Minghui's injury.
At the beginning of the game, the Canton team showed a strong momentum as soon as they came up, and Wharton's offense was almost unstoppable. The team's defense was even more impressive, and the opponent repeatedly fell into the quagmire of offensive errors, forming a 14-point lead. Liao Basket looked faltering without Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen, and the lack of young guards made them unstable when dribbling.
Zhang Zhenlin's form was sluggish and he failed to stand up for the team. The poor protection of the rebounds makes them very bad in this regard. However, the arrival of the second quarter brought a ray of light to Liao Basket. They adjusted well at this stage, and their offensive efficiency gradually improved. Zhang Junhao became a wonder soldier and showed outstanding performance.
Han Dejun solved the playmaking problem with a series of clever passes, creating more scoring opportunities for his teammates. The Guangsha team encountered a dilemma at this time, the attack stalled, Okafor's play was not good, and the opponent played a wave of 8-0, and the advantage disappeared in an instant. But fortunately, after Hu Jinqiu and Wharton came on the court, they quickly stopped the bleeding, not only performed well on the scoring end, but also stopped the scoring momentum of Liao Basket on the defensive end, and the effect was immediate, and the point difference was reopened.
Moreland became a lifesaver for Liaoning in this game. He made a strong three-point shot and was not afraid of defense, successfully breaking the scoring drought, and at the same time single-handedly stabilized the team's decline through counterattacks and kills under the basket. However, Zhang Zhenlin's three-point shot never hit, wasting a lot of scoring opportunities. If it weren't for this, Liao Basket might have overtaken it long ago.
Hu Jinqiu scored in the counterattack fast break, Duan Liqian made a free throw, and Zhang Junhao's breakthrough layup hit a big hat to the Guangsha team. Moreland stepped up again, and the basket finally overtook the score, 44-43. Duan Liqian covered the foul, Zhang Zhenlin's three-point shot finally found the Nets, Duan Liqian showed an excellent three-point touch, Moreland scored again, and a wave of 15-4 counterattack made the Liao Basket overtake Guangsha 49-44.
In the course of the next game, the two teams fell into a fight again, and the overall play was not ideal, bumps and bumps, either iron or mistakes, and the scoring became extremely difficult, with only 2-2 scoring records in two minutes. However, Hu Jinqiu's fast-break score, Moreland's covering foul, and Sun Minghui's impact basket made the Guangsha team take the lead in finding the rhythm of the game, and the score gradually caught up.
Moreland and Zhang Junhao made consecutive errors, Okafor and Sun Minghui scored one after another, and the Guangsha team rebounded again, 56-53, forcing the Liaoning team to ask for a timeout. Ugo was the first to return to the field, while Fogg and Han Dejun also returned quickly, and their return injected new vitality into the Liaoning team. The blocking and dismantling cooperation between the two had an obvious effect, and the score was overtaken again. Zhu Junlong's counterattack and fast attack finally scored, and Okafor's open three-pointer hit again, and the two sides took the lead alternately, and the score was deadlocked.
Han Dejun, Fu Hao, and Zhang Zhenlin scored continuously, and Liao Basket overtook again. Subsequently, the Liaoning team expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, Ugo, Fogg, and Han Dejun angrily sprayed the referee, and Fogg smashed the ball angrily to vent his emotions, and finally ate a technical foul. Liaoning fans chanted "black whistle". This series of events interrupted the rhythm of the Liao Basket game, and Li Jinxiao's three-point shot made the Guangsha team regain the lead, 71-67.
The referee's blowing penalty was indeed controversial, but Liao Basket failed to keep calm, and the player smashed the ball angrily It was obviously irrational behavior. The meetings between the two teams this season have always been full of gunpowder and controversy. The Guangsha team has an advantage at home, mainly thanks to Sun Minghui's insistence on fighting, making victory a high probability event. The Liao Basket is facing a huge challenge away from home and needs the emergence of some surprise soldiers, otherwise the road to victory will be full of hardships.
Overall, the game presented a choppy rhythm. Player injuries, technical and tactical adjustments, changes in the pace of the game, and controversy over referee decisions all make up the elements of the game. The inconsistent performances of the young players also added some inconsistency to the game.
In this game, the Guangsha team finally won at home by finding their rhythm at the critical moment, while the Liaoning team faced the difficulty of away and needed to find a breakthrough in the future games. This game undoubtedly brought a wonderful basketball feast to the fans.
