Xinjiang, as the next challenger, did not play that badly without paying attention to the details.

From the perspective of foreign aid, Wigginton and Jones are the core of Xinjiang's offense. The two scored 37 points and 12 assists together. If you add in Creek's 9 points, the foreign aid scored 46 points in these 48 minutes. Zhang Zhenlin failed. As he did in the regular season to restrict Jones, Wigginton did use the pick-and-roll to punish Korea. Creek led the team to stage a heroic counterattack in the final quarter. If the three foreign players were regarded as one person, this performance was quite explosive. Xinjiang's role players also stood up despite the poor performance of the main players. Huang Rongqi and Sirzati scored 13 points and 9 points respectively.

Looking at the overall situation, Xinjiang's offensive efficiency is 125.7, far exceeding the season average and playoff average. There is no substitute at the 4th position. For a long time, it has a small lineup with one large and four small, but it has won a lot of rebounds. In addition, they trailed by 16 points at the start of the first quarter and won points in each of the last three quarters. About 5 minutes into the fourth quarter, when the Liao basketball team led by about 20 points, Xinjiang's substitute lineup played the toughest defense and launched an unexpected wave of attacks. With only 1 minute left, it had already recovered to only 10 points. The difference was 12 points. After Creek hit a 3-pointer, Xinjiang was only 9 points behind. The point difference between the two teams in G1 of the finals was also fixed at this point.

Therefore, for the Liao Basketball Team, it may be necessary for them to see the troubles they may encounter in the future in this victory. , they won three quarters. If some details were handled better, or the pit at the beginning was not so big, it is entirely possible that the outcome would be decided in the last few rounds. When there is no absolute disparity in strength between

, the series is just about Tai Chi. The first one or two games are a trial and error stage, and only the subsequent moves are fatal.

What details?

First, Xinjiang has smashed three of its own signs: "Gold, Silver and Bronze" lost its lock core, "Li Nangxi" suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and the "Tianshan inducing belt" became the "Tianshan amusement park".

I once said in the preview that Xinjiang’s defensive ability in the backcourt is no less than that of Guangdong Hongyuan, and the data is relatively convincing. In terms of limiting opponents’ 3 points, defender’s steal rate and defensive efficiency, Xinjiang is more obvious. Stronger than Guangdong, Guangdong fans left a message questioning that "Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan's biting ability is stronger than that of Xinjiang defenders." Now it seems that, at least in g1, I was slapped in the face. Except for Wigginton, Jin, Yin, Bronze and Jones were all taken away by Korea. Zhao Jiwei made 4 of 9 from outside and scored 17 points. Fogg made 4 of 8 from outside. After scoring 25 points, the two backcourt cores of Liao Basketball broke out at the same time in G1.

But even so, my point of view remains unchanged. Xinjiang's backcourt is just slower to enter the state than Guangdong. The enthusiasm of gold, silver and bronze to pursue defense is obviously not as good as usual in G1, let alone the semifinals.

Lee Nang-hee's detailed problem on the defensive end is that he is slow to react to Daehan's downturn. The core play style of the Liao Basketball system is the 15 pick-and-roll. The three sets of pick-and-rolls of Zhao Jiwei, Fogg, Dahan and Da Mo can be said to be the best in the league. Not only because of Zhao Jiwei and Fogg's passing skills, but more importantly because of Dahan and Da Mo. Da Mo's timing was perfect.

Generally speaking, Li Nangxi is a relatively agile center, especially Wu Guanxi, who has both strength, speed and wingspan. However, he may have been half a beat slower when returning to defend Korea because he was afraid of Zhao Jiwei's offense, or it may be because In the semi-finals, they were defending Yu Jiahao. When the opponent changed from slow to fast, Li Nangxi failed to adjust in time, as if he had been in the greenhouse for a long time and would not be able to adapt to the outside world.

"Tianshan Bait Zone" refers to the fact that Xinjiang usually gives priority to shrinking and protecting the penalty area. Once the ball is transmitted to the outside, it will immediately defend with all its strength. It relies on tacit rotation and active steps, so many teams face Xinjiang. At that time, the number of 3-point shots was large, but the shooting rate was very low. This is supported by data. However, in G1 of the finals, Xinjiang did not shrink or expand. The Liao basketball team picked and rolled, and Korea easily completed the downswing. After the downswing, there was no free throw line defense, only defense at the basket. Isn't it like hitting an egg with an egg and hitting a stone with misplaced defense?

The defense at positions 2 and 34 was a disaster.

In the second game of Xinjiang Liao's regular season, Zhang Zhenlin went crazy in the second half. I said at that time that no matter how strong Zhang Zhenlin is in front of him, he needs to be guarded throughout the game and not relax for a second. It is best to let him get the ball less. In G1 of the finals, before Zhang Zhenlin hit the first 3-pointer, Qi Lin faced the opponent's 35 pick-and-roll and actually chose to pass through... Later, he also left a big step when defending on the flank. Zhang Zhenlin had a lot of room to play. In the end, he won In addition to 19 points, he also had 8 assists.

There is no doubt that Team A is responsible for Fu Hao’s 29 points. I understand that, like Li Nangxi, Ah Budu has never encountered a No. 4 position like Fu Hao with strong mid-range shooting ability in the past for a long, long time - ghost movement, half hook, so Ah Budu Budu always appears in the wrong position. To be precise, Abdul always shrinks to the basket habitually, because Xinjiang needs him to fight for rebounds, and Li Nangxi is not completely reliable.

Third, Xinjiang honestly got into the trap set by the Liao Basketball Team.

The issue of Xinjiang not having 3 points was mentioned from October last year to May this year. There are also two sentences that have been said: "Teams that can defend will definitely make a fuss about this (shrinking)" and "Xinjiang does not have 3 points." The shortcomings in points will be magnified in the playoffs."

When playing against a weak team, the defense is strong, and it is not a big deal if you shoot 3-pointers in general. In other words, shooting more or less will have little impact, but when playing against a strong team, you must "optimize the 3-point distribution", Yu Dehao +Jones made a total of 1 of 12 shots in G1. It’s not that he couldn’t shoot, but 12 is a bit too much. These shots were basically taken by the Liaoning Basketball Team. Xinjiang does not need to accept this "goodwill". Stop the loss when it is time to stop the loss. If you just keep your head on the wall and hope for recovery, the probability is too low.

Fourth, he missed at least 4 empty baskets, totaling 8 points. Not counting that, he turned around and was immediately counterattacked by his opponent.

8 points, if you get it steadily, the score gap may not be so big, and the situation on the field may change as a result. Again, as the originally weak side, only by showing a relatively perfect self and reducing mistakes can it be possible Play until the last few minutes.

Fifth, the defensive intensity came a little late.

's defensive intensity in the last five minutes of the final quarter was not an accidental state. Xinjiang has delivered more exciting iron-blooded defense in many games in the past. If it shows this intensity and state at the beginning, who will laugh at the end? uncertain. If targeted changes can be made in these five details, it is not impossible for Xinjiang to win. Xinjiang will definitely not sit still and wait for death in the future, and the Liao Basketball Team is by no means just something reflected in G1. The real finals has just begun.
