cba In the 16th round of the 2023-24 regular season, the Guangdong South China Tigers, who were undefeated in the third stage, faced Jiangsu Kendia, ranked 19th in the league, at home. Considering that the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team is currently at the bottom of the first echelon, if it wants to make a fuss and advance further in the current ranking of 4th, it must win a battle with Jiangsu. Unexpectedly, despite the huge gap in book strength between the two sides and the obvious gap in their recent form, the two sides actually fought evenly for most of the game. It was not until the decisive moment of the last 2 minutes of regular time that the home team relied on Walter. Si's explosive scoring power sealed the victory.
Basketball games are like this. Everyone has a bad touch. When Hu Mingxuan, who has been in hot form recently, suffered a drop in touch and only made 1 of 11 shots in the game. Xu Jie only made 3 of 12. He relied heavily on backcourt players. It is destined to be a difficult night for the Guangdong team that launches the offense. In addition, the Jiangsu team's strategy is also very clear, which is to engage in close combat and force the Guangdong team to be in the same dimension as itself, which adds a lot of uncertainty to the game.
In this high-intensity hand-to-hand battle full of muscle collisions, the two sides committed 61 fouls in total, and the two sides made a total of 58 free throws: the Guangdong team made 29 of 43 free throws, while the Jiangsu team made 12 of 15 free throws. Some fans may say: Wow, the gap in free throws is so big. The second-to-last team has to rely on "explosive penalty power" to win. Guangdong is really not good at this. Although the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team did not feel very good in this game, there is a reason why their free throws crushed their opponents. In a sense, it was also a direct result of the Jiangsu team's strategy and tactics.
At the home court of the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, every time a visiting team player leaves the field due to a foul, the home DJ will perform Alan Tam's "Can't Say Goodbye" in a timely manner. As a result, in this game, the home DJ invited out Principal Tan three times. This shows the intensity of the competition, so it is not surprising that the Guangdong team got 43 free throws. However, the Guangdong team's free throw shooting rate in this game was only 67.4%, less than 70% - as long as the performance at the free throw line can be more stable, there is no need to delay the suspense to the last moment, and rely on more reliable attacking ability to win the game .
The sense of security brought by the Guangdong team's strong offensive ability comes from "Brother Shui" Waters. The leader of the Puerto Rican men's basketball team was sleepwalking and made many mistakes in the first half, but was successfully eliminated during the halftime break. The forward coach woke up, and throughout the second half, there were no misses and 100 hits. In the slump of the old Wei, new aid Jordan Bell had no independent offensive ability, and he carried the banner. In the whole game, Brother Shui made 8 of 10 shots and 5 of 7 three-pointers. In less than 26 minutes of playing time, he scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Especially in the decisive moment, he single-handedly scored 5 points in a row. The explosive power finally sealed the victory for the Guangdong team.
What complements Brother Shui is the advantage of insider Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi also delivered a large double-double in this game with 16 points and 17 rebounds. During the game, Zhou Qi was knocked to the ground several times, which really made the fans' hearts tighten. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. However, Zhou Qi's old problems were exposed in this game. The Jiangsu team adopted the "Qi Qi tactic" and reaped the benefits. The reason for such unscrupulous fouls was because Zhou Qi often failed to grasp free throw opportunities. Only 8 of 18 free throws were made in the game. It is conceivable that once the playoffs are reached, the opponent will definitely resort to "cut Qi tactics" in the decisive moment. How can the pressure then be compared with this game? Will Zhou Qi's free throws be even more abnormal at that time? However, the Guangdong team's inside reserves cannot replace Zhou Qi in the decisive round, so the person who untie the bell must tie the bell. For Zhou Qi, it is imperative to improve his free throw shooting percentage as soon as possible.
