Last night, the finals of the 2024 NBL league continued, and the Hong Kong Golden Bulls still challenged at the home of Anhui Wenyi.
In the first battle between the two sides, the Hong Kong Golden Bulls once led by 9 points and had a chance to win, but in the third quarter, Zhu Songwei suddenly suffered an accident and injured his knee. In this way, Gillenwater, the foreign aid of the Anhui Wenyi team, broke out completely, led the team to complete the overtake in the third quarter, and finally defeated the Hong Kong Golden Bulls in a reversal, leading 1-0 in the total score.
This situation is very unfavorable for the Hong Kong Golden Bulls, who not only lost the first game of the series, but also injured the striker Zhu Songwei, and the morale will definitely be affected. However, it is reported that Zhu Songwei's injury is not serious, and the Hong Kong Golden Bulls team took turns to rest Zhu Songwei for the purpose of protection, and they still went all out in the second game.
In this game, the Hong Kong Golden Bulls did not give the opponent a chance to fight back, and after leading in the first quarter, they played a strong attack wave in the second quarter, leading by more than 20 points in one fell swoop, basically ending the suspense of the game. Throughout the second half, the Anhui Wenyi team did not find any good way to break the game, and they were always behind and couldn't catch up with the difference.
Liu Chuanxing, the main center of the Hong Kong Golden Bulls, performed strongly in the restricted area, scoring a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds and dominating the inside. As a result, the outside line of Anhui Wenyi team was not easy to play, and in the end it was 71-94 and lost by 23 points.
With a 23-point win over their opponents, the Hong Kong Golden Bulls tied the overall score of the finals to a 1-1 draw, and their away win was equivalent to grabbing the home advantage of the series.
After the game, the head coach of the Hong Kong Golden Bulls, Xie Libin, revealed that Zhu Songwei's injury was fine, a little knee edema, and he has been working hard to recover in the past few days, and it is expected that Zhu Songwei will be seen on the field soon.
