was trapped by injuries and suspensions. The much-anticipated CBA Spring Festival Gala "Liao-Guangdong Battle" g1 showed a one-sided situation. Liaoning, which played at home, easily defeated Guangdong with a 22-point victory. Since the semi-final format is still a 5-match 3-win system, every game Every game is crucial. If g2 Guangdong loses again, it will fall into absolute passivity. The key to determining the outcome of g2 is personnel injuries and Zhou Qi's personal state.
During the warm-up training before the G2 game, the coaches of the two teams also revealed the team's injury status.
Among them, Guangdong coach Du Feng made it clear that Zhou Qi, who was suspended in G1, will definitely play in G2, but Ren Jun's flying leg is serious and it will be difficult to play, so he will miss the competition in G2.
In the last round of the series against Guangsha, Ren Junfei suffered from injuries. Before the G1 match against Liaoning, Du Feng said that Ren Junfei had some bone fractures and soft tissue tears. News like
is obviously a big blow to Guangdong. Even if Zhou Qi returns and Er Fei is unable to play, the Guangdong team will most likely still be at a disadvantage in the internal rotation.
In the G1 match between the two teams, the Guangdong team exposed its shortcomings of a serious lack of inside depth and fell behind 34-48 in rebounds.
In addition to the huge gap in rebounds, due to the absence of Zhou Qi and Er Fei, the g1 Guangdong team was overwhelmed by Liaoning inside. Zhang Zhenlin frequently broke into the inside for dunks, and Han Dejun also easily got a double-double.
This is especially true on the offensive end. Due to the lack of a fulcrum inside, the Guangdong team can only bet on outside three-pointers, resulting in a single offensive method that becomes more and more inaccurate. G1 only made 12 of 45 three-pointers, with a shooting rate as low as 26.7%.
Therefore, in an interview after the training session before G2’s return, Zhou Qi also revealed the team’s two major plans.
Zhou Qi said that after the loss of g1, the team faced a lot of pressure, especially since the five-game series still lacked a home court advantage. Guangdong was under great pressure. As for how to adjust g2, Zhou Qi said that the first point is to grab Good rebounds, the second point is to reduce mistakes .
In the series G1, Guangdong made 13 mistakes and Liaoning made 11 mistakes. Guangdong's mistakes were mainly concentrated in Zhang Mingchi (5 times), Hu Mingxuan (3 times) and Du Runwang (2 times).
Looking back at the Liaoning team, coach Yang Ming continued to be cautious after winning the game in G1, believing that the opponent Guangdong team obviously did not exert its full strength.
Yang Ming bluntly said that g1 had no reference value. The preparation for g2 was based on the regular season loss to Guangdong. Because Guangdong was short of personnel and affected by injuries, g1 obviously did not use its full strength.
The playoffs start with an away win, so the team believes that this G2 is the real start of the series. With Zhou Qi's return, the team's original advantages in rebounding, defense, inside attack, etc. will be greatly reduced. The whole team Already prepared to face difficulties and challenge the opponent.
When asked about Zhao Jiwei's injury, Yang Ming said that Zhao Jiwei's injury has little impact. At this point in the game, not only Jiwei, but also many players in the team have suffered injuries of varying degrees. In so many games in a season, It is inevitable that there will be injuries. The team usually has minor injuries and cannot get out of the firing line. Moreover, it is home court and there is no room for mistakes. After
stole Hu Mingxuan in the last quarter of G1, Zhao Jiwei was kicked in the face by the former, and Hu Mingxuan was whistled for a violation of physical integrity. This topic even became a hot search topic.
It is worth mentioning that Guo Ailun, who was watching the game on the sidelines of G1, also appeared in the warm-up training of the Liaoning G2 team.
In the interview after the training, Guo Ailun was still the same, making fun of himself and performing a talk show directly on the sidelines, making all the reporters laugh.
Guo Ailun laughed at himself: "I came back from the special training in Spain and picked up the ball for everyone. I served three foreign players and picked up the ball for them. I just passed the ball to the new guy (Cooper), but he missed the ball." , It’s up to me, the pass is too hard, don’t shoot me, I am not the protagonist.”
According to Liaoning assistant coach Wu Naiqun before the G1 game, Guo Ailun had not practiced with the team before the start of G1, which means that G2. Before the game, it was Guo Ailun's first time training with the team.
assistant coach Wu Naiqun also said that after participating in joint training, Guo Ailun still needs to be approved by the team doctor before he can return to the game.
According to the video posted by fans, Guo Ailun had gone to the hospital to have his leg examined with an MRI before participating in G2 training. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
