After the Guangdong men's basketball team lost the first game of the semifinals to the Liaoning men's basketball team, head coach Du Feng spared words at the post-match press conference and only said a word perfunctorily. Of course, he is thinking about the countermeasures for the next battle, the way of losing to the Liaoning men's basketball team is unacceptable, Du Feng's coaching in recent years is full of vigor and passion, and the helplessness of that battle is a world away.
Why are you helpless? Du Feng did not say.
Perhaps because of the injuries of Ren Junfei and Ledo, his platoon deployment is stretched; perhaps it is because the players' execution is not in place, and the scene of taking care of one or the other can be seen everywhere in the game. The Guangdong men's basketball team is accustomed to giving the opponent a high-pressure defense, fast-paced, high-intensity game to establish another dynasty for it, but this time they feel great oppression.
The emergence of this oppression, the Guangdong men's basketball team should actually think of, the strength of the Liaoning men's basketball team is placed there, and the two clashes in the season make the Guangdong men's basketball team have an intuitive sense of sting. However, in the playoffs, the situation of the Guangdong men's basketball team being crushed will still make people feel incredible.
The playoff experience of the Guangdong men's basketball team needless to say, winning the CBA championship for many consecutive seasons, even young players are tempered on the way to the championship, and the hardened young players are full of combat. The state of the regular season has declined, the Guangdong men's basketball team in the playoffs will still be expected, especially the performance in the first two rounds of the playoffs, the defending champion is no longer as despised by the outside world as the performance in the regular season, but the game against the Liaoning men's basketball team is disappointing.
It can be summed up in four words - "the force is not caught".
You have to admit that the performance of the Guangdong men's basketball team in the second game has improved significantly, at least the game has not developed to a one-sided situation again. Ren Junfei and Lai duo were put into the game list, in fact, they are still difficult to help the team, in the absence of new combat power supplements, the key to the Guangdong men's basketball team to bite the score for a long time is to fight hard.
Zhao Rui said after the game: "The game was lost again, but I don't think the outside world should put too much pressure on the head coach, because it is our players who play on the field. It was he (Du Feng) who arranged for us to play, but it can only be said that we did not do well enough, did not fully play out, plus the personnel is not neat. You can also see that we have not given up, and we are also fighting. We didn't give up the whole series just because we were one or two less, we fought all the time. ”
When the Guangdong men's basketball team lost the first game, there was a lot of criticism of the defending champion, and many voices thought that the hard work was insufficient, and the fierce competition in the second battle was a face saver. The Guangdong men's basketball team can be said to have done their best, but what is the key to their failure to escape? The Liaoning men's basketball team's strange soldier Fu Hao, he let the entire series of offensive and defensive situations be changed.
If the various decisive factors of the Liao-Guangdong War were listed, Fu Hao's name would not be mentioned, but the position of this factor would probably not be placed in the front. If you think about it, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Yi Jianlian, Zhao Rui, Weems... Their influence is naturally greater.
Of the two teams with stars, Fu Hao is not one of the signature players of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
But on the other hand, the Guangdong men's basketball team will not ignore the existence of Fu Hao, after all, Fu Hao has a super performance against the Guangdong men's basketball team in the regular season - 38 points and 12 rebounds in 15 of 20 shots. Even if the Guangdong men's basketball coaching team puts more energy into Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, it will also take into account the existence of Fu Hao.
But how much attention can be paid? There is always a limit to a team's energy.
At the beginning of the first game of the semifinals, Fu Hao scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, and he was also the highest scorer on the spot in the Liaoning men's basketball team. How much to score is still secondary, Fu Hao can be difficult to defend inside and outside in the attack, which is the biggest trouble encountered by the Guangdong men's basketball team. The defense of the Guangdong men's basketball team is already under great pressure, and Fu Hao's offensive threat makes the Guangdong men's basketball team need to invest more in the defensive end.
In the second game, Fu Hao gave the Guangdong men's basketball team a huge blow, and in the case of the first quarter of the game, Fu Hao suddenly broke out and scored 11 points in a single quarter. The Liaoning men's basketball team was able to take the lead in the second game, and Fu Hao acted as the vanguard of the team, and Fu Hao finally scored 19 points in that game - the efficiency of 7 of 13 shots was also good.
The internal line is not dominant, and Fu Hao has forced the defense of the Guangdong men's basketball team to expand outward, and the defense of the Guangdong men's basketball team is therefore very uncomfortable. CBA player Xi Relijiang answered netizens' questions about Fu Hao during the live broadcast, and he said that Fu Hao's performance in the semifinals impressed him. And also mentioned many times, "Fu Hao's three-point shot gave Du Feng a headache."
Well, it's hard to deal with fu hao who can be inside and out.
How does XiRelijiang view Fu Hao's threat? Fu Hao was originally tough under the basket, which was maintained after he joined the Liaoning men's basketball team, and now he has added a three-point weapon. As we all know, the three-point shot is an important offensive means of XiRelijiang, and when talking about Fu Hao's three-point shot in the semifinals, he also praised it as "not expected to be so accurate.".
Although the three-point shots in the two games totaled 7-of-5, the damage to the Guangdong men's basketball team's defensive system did not stop there.
As a former center player who played for the Bayi men's basketball team, Fu Hao has a tough playing style and a strong court attitude, and in the context of the era of the Bayi men's basketball team, Fu Hao bloomed in the ruins of the declining dynasty. Transferred to the Liaoning men's basketball team, Fu Hao can still occupy a place in this luxurious team, but is it due to ability and talent?
Last season, Fu Hao participated in the second game after joining the Liaoning men's basketball team, the Liaoning men's basketball team lost to the opponent Guangsha men's basketball team, but Fu Hao was praised by coach Yang Ming after the game. Yang Ming said at the time that only Fu Hao in the whole team played like a man, and if the team had 5 Fu Hao in this game, it would not lose so badly.
In fact, Fu Hao's performance in the game has never lacked a tough side, but the outside shooting is not his strength, and he does not shoot many shots on the outside. Until the regular season this season, Fu Hao gradually increased the number of shots on the outside line, and the three-point shooting rate was quite good, which made the Arsenal of the Liaoning men's basketball team more choices.
In the series against the Guangdong men's basketball team, Fu Hao's three-point shot played a big role.
In the years of Liaoning-Guangdong hegemony, the front line of the Liaoning men's basketball team has been inferior to that of the guangdong men's basketball team, so that the team is more inclined to add fewer people to the front line when considering foreign aid candidates. Until last season, Zhang Zhenlin, Fu Hao, Wu Changze and others improved the strength of the Liaoning men's basketball team, but unfortunately, the Liaoning men's basketball team missed the opportunity to overthrow the Guangdong men's basketball dynasty.
This season has made a comeback, and Fu Hao's further integration and his outside projection have given the Liaoning men's basketball team greater help, and also changed the pattern of Liaoning-Guangdong hegemony to a large extent. Compared with the aging of the main lineup of the Guangdong men's basketball team, the vigorous vitality of the Liaoning men's basketball team has changed the strength competition between the two sides, so the Guangdong men's basketball team has felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
