In the regular season, Shanghai was 21 points behind Liaoning, the first in the league, but Li Chunjiang did not give up, he dispatched troops, encouraged the momentum of the whole team, and finally won the most important strong dialogue of the season. In the blink of an eye, Lee directed his first playoff game in Shanghai, and the team trailed by 16 points in the second quarter.
It's the playoffs, it's everyone's bayonet, everyone has to fight hard, and a 16-point trail is a super pit for any team. Although there is no shortage of veterans in the Shanghai team, last season Wang Zhelin's Fujian, Ren Junwei and Jamal Franklin's Shanxi, coupled with Haidu's failure to qualify for the playoffs, in fact, only Li Chunjiang and Yuan Tangwen appeared in the playoffs continuously.
Shanghai ranked 3rd in the regular season, but its strength and experience were not superior to Shenzhen.2
In the two games against Shenzhen this season, Shanghai was first reversed by Aszia Booker and Shen Zijie by 22 points in the last quarter, and then let Jared Salinger play the inside line, losing a total of 26 points, and did not even play until the last moment. The reason why Shenzhen ranked 6th was also because Shen Zijie suffered consecutive defeats during his injury, and the ranking of the two teams did not match the strength, and Shenzhen was actually slightly better.
Shen Zijie received the most important personal honor of his career so far in the last round, the best defensive player. The regular season bird flapped its wings, averaging 14.8 points, 9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, as well as 1.1 steals and 2.5 blocks, not only that, but his shooting percentage was also second in the league. He averaged less than 30 minutes per game to win consecutive blocks, and his defensive power continued to improve.
Shen Zijie in the first half was an insurmountable DPOY, and the Shanghai crowd hit the wall again and again, and the attack became more and more difficult. At the same time, Shenzhen, with its outstanding performance on the defensive end, happily ran a fast attack, once widening the point difference to 16 points, and the game seemed to end in the first half.
Wang Zhelin instigated the attack outside the three-point line, and Guo Haowen made a mistake in coordination, the ball was directly passed to the bottom line, and Shanghai, which was 16 points behind, was falling rapidly. The camera immediately focused on Director Lee on the sidelines, his lips were tight, his eyes were full of worry, he had 7 championships, from players to coaches who had played no less than 10 finals, how he didn't know what was happening at the moment.
Director Lee made a lot of adjustments but it didn't work, and he could only wait anxiously.
The only good news for Shanghai at the time was that the game was still a long time, but they didn't know what would happen next. At this time, the captain and vice captain of Shanghai this season, who had just been sent to the field, were stubbornly pestering Salinjie's Kelan on the defensive end, he broke through from the bottom line, assisted Wang Zhelin on the inside line, and Shanghai finally stopped the bleeding.
The next 4 rounds quietly became a turning point in the fate of the whole game -
Wang Zhelin pretended to hand over his hand outside the three-point line, turned around and passed Shen Zijie, and entered the basket dunk;
Shanghai scrambled, Wang Zhelin caused a killing injury under the basket, and walked to the free throw line;
The whole field was forced, Wang Zhelin fell to the ground to save the ball, but unfortunately his back went out of bounds first;
Attacking and defending, Wang Zhelin rushed to the basket, knocked Bai Haotian away, and fought the free throw again.
From Fujian to Shanghai, Wang Zhelin did not want to be a loser, he won the best defense in the first stage of the regular season, and guarded the Shanghai penalty area with a defense rarely seen in his career throughout the season. On the offensive end, he was the only stable offensive point in Shanghai throughout the year, and the only strong offensive point.
Wang Zhelin's guidance to this Shanghai team and Li Chunjiang's guidance is irreplaceable from attack to defense. Shanghai gave the king the best treatment he could give, and Li's guidance inspired a competitive spirit unprecedented in the king's career. Under the guidance of Li, the king is Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Hu Jinqiu, and the player who can do anything just to win.
Heaven help self-helpers, competitive sports have no sympathy, but fate will eventually favor the team that fights.
Just after these 4 rounds of the king and Shanghai, a strange thing happened on the field. Shenzhen's Shen Zijie and teammate He Xining did not know why a verbal altercation occurred, the two discussed from the field to the field, and finally began a scolding battle, He Xining swung his hand and angrily returned to the locker room.
After this, there was another round, Shanghai's fight defense was successful, Wang Zhelin quickly attacked the basket, thought it was easy to win, but did not want to be chased by Lu Pengyu to cover. The 20-year-old Lu Pengyu leaped and jumped, and his skills were four, which was the best proof that Shenzhen could lead in the first half, their desire to win was burning, and after a series of matches, the team was in the best condition.
Shenzhen is like an unbreakable fortress, Shanghai is not fatally holding the explosive package upwards, they did not think about whether they could explode, but they also knew that if they did not rush, they would have no chance. No one knows what happened in the fortress, but from that clash, out of the dressing room, the Shenzhen city gate opened in the second half.
Director Li and Shanghai survived the most difficult period, they waited for an unexpected opportunity, but it is not easy to seize the opportunity. Shenzhen in the second half did not collapse, Rong Zifeng and Yang Linyi's three points, Lu Pengyu's rebounding in the front court, Gu Quan's cut in, although Shenzhen did not have the momentum of the first half that could take away the game at any time, but still maintained a lead of about 8 points.
Until Li directed a substitution and reversed Liaoning's 21-point lineup.
This second lineup is led by Wang Zhelin and Feng Lai, with Luo Hanchen and Yuan Tangwen on the outside, and Guo Haowen on the front. What Li coached and the players said in the locker room is unknown, but in the second half of Shanghai swept away the decline, the tied hands and feet of Luo Hanchen and Yuan Tangwen began to continuously impact the basket, and Feng Lai resolutely shot three points.
Shanghai did not give up on the impact on Shen Zijie, their efforts were rewarded, and Shen Zijie in the first and second half judged the two. Wang Zhelin's breakthrough, Luo Hanchen's charge, Feng Lai's singles against the top, Guo Haowen's basket to create a kill, a series of attacks in the background are Shen Zijie, yes, it is the best defensive player this year, Shen Zijie.
In just a few minutes, Shanghai straightened the tilting balance, the difficult attack was completely opened, and the two teams were caught in a tug-of-war, and the momentum had already reached the Shanghai side. Coach Lee gave up small foreign aid Franklin, leaving Wang Zhelin and Feng Lai to play from the end of the third quarter until the end of the game, and Shanghai maintained a comfortable offensive rhythm.
Shenzhen's momentum was lost, but Salinger scored 15 points in the final quarter, and the super foreign aid who had crossed the CBA rejected Shanghai's reversal in a head-to-head manner, but the situation of the confrontation was exactly what Shanghai expected, and they were not afraid. Shenzhen in the last quarter did not form a continuous killing of Shanghai's strong points, nor did it maintain a high-intensity defense.
The final link in the Shanghai reversal was continued by captain Koran.
Veteran Koran Baike only played 25 games in an injury season, but he caught up with the end-of-season comeback, and the last two games against Shanxi and Guangsha were 20+ consecutive, slowly looking for form. Shanghai is not a team with excellent three-pointers, and its three-point shots are only at the mid-range level, averaging 111.1 points per game and only 30.3 points for three points. Compared with Shenzhen, this is also the problem of Shanghai, the offensive three-dimensionality is poor, and the space, strength points and stable positions are still lacking.
Absent-minded Shenzhen, do not know whether it is because the team quarrel affected the mood, or Shanghai's reversal of the momentum to disrupt the rhythm, in short, they fought for each other in the last quarter, dismantling the professional league playoff battle into a casual cooperation on the field, while Shanghai at this time did almost everything right.
In the last 2 minutes, Shanghai scored and played, Feng Lai transferred the ball to assist the Three-point Shot of the Korandy Corner, Luo Hanchen was resourceful and quick to push the kill, Guo Haowen blocked the split ball, assisted Feng Laibiao to score a key three-pointer, and Wang Zhelin made two key penalties to kill the game. Shanghai won the battle of reversal with active scrambling and bold rushing.
There are many factors that guide Li and Shanghai to victory, but the most crucial point is unity. A team back in the playoffs, a giant that aspires to make a difference, uses the entire regular season to match each other's breathing, does not give up when behind, does not blindly play when leading, believes in teammates, believes in coaches, this is the best thing in the basketball world, they deserve a good victory.
The series has just begun, but two wins in three sets also means that after the first match, it is infinitely close to the end, and shenzhen should start to play. Whatever the reason for the team's lack of concentration in the second half, at the start of the next game, they need to regain the energy of the first half, the offensive end needs more cooperation, and the defensive end needs to make up for their teammates.
More importantly, all players standing on the basketball court need to remember that basketball is not a one-man battle.
