On May 1st, the CBA semi-finals began, with the Guangdong team facing off against the Liaoning team. After the game started, both teams showed intensity, so the score rose alternately. The Guangdong team trailed Liaoning 31-32 in the first quarter. The two teams were locked in a fierce battle in the second quarter, with Guangdong trailing Liaoning 56-59 at halftime.
The starting lineup of the two teams
Guangdong team: Hu Mingxuan, Waters, Zhang Haojia, Du Runwang, Xu Xin.
Liaoning team: Zhao Jiwei, Yan Shouqi, Zhang Zhenlin, Li Xiaoxu, Morand.
The Guangdong team changed their formation again in this game. There was no other way. Xu Xin started. After the start, the Guangdong team's offense and defense were still good, and they once suppressed the Liaoning team. The best player was undoubtedly Zhang Mingchi, who came off the bench and hit three three-pointers. As long as the Guangdong team plays a pick-and-roll, Zhang Mingchi will retreat to the outside. He is very decisive in his shots and has a high hit rate, disrupting Liaoning's rhythm. However, Zhang Mingchi is young after all, and there are still mistakes in the game. Zhang Mingchi performed well in the first round of the playoffs before, and this game is a continuation.
After the Guangdong team changed formation, it was Waters who controlled the field. He came up to attack decisively and hit two long three-pointers. In addition, Waters also served as the organizer and passed the ball to Xu Xin just right. Waters performed very well in last year's World Cup, so he attracted the attention of the CBA club and eventually signed a contract with the Guangdong team. After joining Guangdong, Waters quickly integrated into the team. Not only can he attack, but he also has a very good passing vision.
Young player Xu Xin was moved to the starting lineup for this game. He was replacing Zhou Qi, and his performance was really good. Xu Xin scored 4 points in the first quarter and also caused Morand to foul. In the second quarter, Xu Xin played better and better. An inside dunk caused Morand to foul again. However, Xu Xingao's physical strength dropped quickly after the confrontation, which needs to be improved.
Judging from the game, the biggest hidden danger of the Guangdong team is too many fouls. Zhang Haojia committed 4 fouls in 4 minutes, which completely disrupted the plan.
