The third phase of the CBA regular season was rekindled, and a seemingly disparity in strength was launched between the Jiangsu men's basketball team and the Guangzhou men's basketball team. Jiangsu, the team with only four wins in the first two stages, will host Guangzhou, one of the quarter-finals last season. However, on this seemingly unsuspenseful arena, a thrilling counterattack was staged.
Before the start of the game, Jiangsu's record was dismal, and the shadow of 17 consecutive defeats hung over the entire team, as if to herald another defeat. Although the Guangzhou team has also encountered many difficulties this season, it still maintains the top 12 rankings with its overall strength and tenacious fighting spirit. Therefore, when the two teams stepped on the field, the outside world was almost overwhelmingly optimistic that the Guangzhou team could win easily.
However, the charm of basketball lies in its uncertainty and infinite possibilities.
In the first quarter of the game, Ma Jianhao, a teenager of the Jiangsu team, became a wonder soldier, and he hit three three-pointers in a row to help the team open up the situation on the offensive end. This sudden offensive caught Guangzhou a little off guard, and at the end of the first quarter, Jiangsu led 26-20.
Entering the second quarter, the Guangzhou team gradually regained their form, and they played a wave of 11-2 offensive and successfully overtook the score. At halftime, Guangzhou had a narrow lead of 47-46. However, just when people thought that the game would go according to the rhythm of the Guangzhou team, the Jiangsu team suddenly made a force in the third quarter, and they scored 38 points in a single quarter to pull the score away again.
At the end of the third quarter, Jiangsu led Guangzhou by as many as 18 points at 84-66.
However, the Guangzhou team did not give up, and they launched a frantic comeback in the final quarter. The game entered the final moment, and the Guangzhou team once narrowed the difference to only 2 points. At this time, Jiang Haoran, the local titan of the Jiangsu team, stood up, and he still had 2 left in the gameAt 1 second, he caught the ball and forced a layup to score a whistle shot! This goal not only helped Jiangsu team defeat Guangzhou team 102-100, but also ended the team's 17-game losing streak.
The game was an important victory for Jiangsu, which not only ended the team's embarrassing losing streak, but also allowed the players to regain their confidence and fighting spirit. Although Jiangsu has long been out of the playoffs, the victory at least gave them an advantage in the battle for the vice-president of the Sichuan team. For Guangzhou, the defeat missed a good opportunity to consolidate their position, and they will face an even tougher challenge in the next game.
Judging from the process of the game, it is no accident that the Jiangsu team was able to beat the Guangzhou team in an upset:
First of all, they played at a very high level on the offensive end, and the whole team blossomed more than one point for the Guangzhou team's defense to take care of one or the other. Secondly, on the defensive end, the Jiangsu team also showed tenacious fighting spirit and tenacity, and they withstood the counterattack momentum of the Guangzhou team at critical moments. In the end, the whistle of local player Jiang Haoran became the turning point of the game, and his outstanding performance undoubtedly added a lot of morale to the Jiangsu team.
Of course, the Guangzhou team did not have no chance to win in this game, and they launched a fierce ** in the final quarter, once closing the score to only 2 points. However, at the critical moment, the Guangzhou team still exposed the problem of lack of experience and consistency. In addition, the team's performance on the defensive end was also slightly lax, giving Jiangsu too many opportunities to score easily.
The result of this game once again proves that the relationship between strength and result in basketball is not exactly equal. The drama of weak teams counterattacking strong opponents is not uncommon in the CBA arena, and this is the charm of basketball.
For Jiangsu, this victory could be a turning point for them this season; For the Guangzhou team, they need to learn from this defeat and strive to improve their strength and stability.
In future competitions, we look forward to seeing more weak teams like Jiangsu team burst out with amazing combat effectiveness and potential; At the same time, I also hope that the Guangzhou team can adjust its state in time, regain confidence, and play a more exciting performance in the remaining games. After all, anything can happen in the CBA, a world of passion and dreams.
