Today (April 23rd), in the quarter-finals of CBA playoffs, Guangdong and Guangsha ushered in the last game. Before that, the two sides drew 1-1 with a big score. Therefore, the game between the two sides also became a single-game decisive game system. The winner can advance to the semi-finals of CBA, while the loser will end the journey of this season and pack up and go home.
For the third round match between Guangdong team and Guangsha team, from the outside voice, it can be said that most people think that Guangdong team has a higher probability of winning. On the one hand, Guangdong team has more experience in the playoffs, on the other hand, Guangdong team has the advantage of home court. Before that, Guangsha team had never won at Guangdong team’s home court. Su Qun, a well-known commentator in China, also thinks that it is not surprising that Guangdong has a higher probability of beating Guangsha.
So, is the Guangdong team really winning more? Judging from the current situation, the author believes that it is not necessarily the case that the two sides should be half a catty. How can I put it? There are three main factors. First, the Guangsha team fought hard for this game. The two wounded soldiers of the team, Zhu Junlong and Cummings, returned to the team. As we all know, Zhu Junlong is the top striker in China, and his defense is very powerful. The outside world thinks that he is the nemesis of Marchand Brooks. Previously, under the defense of Zhu Junlong, Marchand Brooks could hardly play well. At the same time, Zhu Junlong’s offensive ability is also very good, with an accurate three-pointer.
Cummings’ comprehensive strength is not outstanding among CBA’s small foreign AIDS, but his return also gives Guangsha team more choices in rotation, especially because he can share some backcourt pressure with Sun Minghui, a fierce backcourt player. It can be said that with the return of Zhu Junlong and Cummings, Wang Bo’s rotation personnel are more adequate, which enhances the confidence of Guangsha team to win.
Secondly, the Guangdong team’s inside line is very weak, and it can’t prevent Hu Jinqiu. Hu Jinqiu, the center of Guangsha team, had almost no solution in the first two games. He got six frontcourt crickets in both games and took off 30 rebounds, which fully showed his advantage in the inside. Although Du Feng tried every means to defend Hu Jinqiu with wheel tactics, it still didn’t have much effect. Hu Jinqiu still went his own way under the basket and showed the level of a superstar. It can be said that how to restrict Hu Jinqiu is a headache for Guangdong head coach Du Feng.
Third, Guangdong foreign aid Ma Shang-Brooks is in an unstable state. In the last game, the reason why Guangdong team lost to Guangsha team was that Ma Shang-Brooks performed poorly. He made 2 of 10 three-pointers in the whole game and hit only 20%. His positive and negative values were -20, that is to say, Ma Shang-Brooks was on the court and Guangdong team lost 20 points.
If Ma Shang-Brooks can perform better, hit a better percentage of three-pointers and score two more three-pointers, then the Guangdong team may not lose. Therefore, it is very important for Guangdong team whether Marchand Brooks can adjust his state in this game.
Because there is no retreat for both sides in this game, there is no doubt that everyone will come up with their own skills to go shopping to the end. It is understood that the management of Guangdong team attaches great importance to this game, and the boss Chen Haitao will come to the arena with his wife to help Guangdong team. At the same time, in order to improve the morale of the players, Chen Haitao also offered a winning bonus of 2 million yuan. Such a high bonus can be said to be a very big one for the Guangdong team, which was once in economic trouble. I have to say, the boss Chen Haitao has made great efforts to win the game for the Guangdong team! Very awesome!
As the head coach of Guangdong team, Du Feng is also under great pressure in the face of tonight’s "life and death battle". After all, Guangdong team can’t afford to lose this game, and there is no way out. On the one hand, he has to deal with the changes in the lineup of Guangsha team and how to crack the Jones of Wang Bo.
On the other hand, Du Feng also wants to reactivate foreign aid Marchand Brooks to help him find his state in the game. Of course, the improvement of Yi Jianlian and Zhao Rui is also a problem that Du Feng should consider. In a word, the Guangdong team has reached the most difficult time, and at this time, Du Feng should also play an ace in the hole to deal with it.
Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think will have the last laugh in the third round between Guangdong and Guangsha?
