On May 1, Beijing time, in the third game of the CBA playoffs semifinals, the Liaoning men's basketball team returned to its home court to play against the Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team. Liaoning, which fell behind 0-2, is already facing a desperate situation, but the performance on the field can only be described in 4 words: the skills are not as good as others. In addition to Liaoning's lead in the first quarter, Guangsha completed a big score in the second quarter. In the end, Guangsha 109-98 Liaoning, with a big score of 3-0, swept to advance to the finals.
Statistics:
Guangsha: Hu Jinqiu 36 points and 10 rebounds, Brown 25 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals, Sun Minghui 17 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists
Liaoning: Zhao Jiwei 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Zhang Zhenlin 10 points, Wells 17 points, Li Xiaoxu 13 points and 6 rebounds
At the beginning of the game, the Liaoning team used Zhang Zhenlin to defend Brown, and Zhang Zhenlin reduced his ball on offense, and actively used the catch and shot after the air cut and reverse run to find opportunities. Brown chased back-to-back points from the outside, but made several mistakes on the breakaway shot. With Li Xiaoxu's second attack under the basket, Liaoning took the lead for the first time. After Sun Minghui appeared again, he sent assists in a row to stop Liaoning. After the timeout, Wells scored two goals in a row, and Liaoning led Guangsha 33-26 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the Liaoning team went 5-0 to extend the difference to double digits again. Guangsha also saw the move, using the outside projection after counterattacking and blocking to chase points. The Liaoning team returned in vain for several rounds in a row, and Brown and Hu Jinqiu made contributions one after another to close the score. At the critical moment, Fu Hao made a three-point shot at the top of the arc to stabilize the army's heart. Brown scored a three-pointer after hanging the cover, Hu Jinqiu and Zhu Junlong overturned the river and the sea on the inside, and Guangsha overtook Liaoning in this game. Liaoning's subsequent offense still did not improve, and Guangsha had another wave of small climaxes, leading Liaoning 67-54 and winning by 20 points in a single quarter.
Although the shooting percentage of both sides was not high in the third quarter, the performance of the Liaoning team at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was still not as good as Guangsha. With Brown hitting a three-pointer, the Cantons continued to widen the difference. After Hu Jinqiu went down, Oliver chased points one after another on the inside, and Sun Minghui immediately responded with a three-point shot. Liaoning's replacement of Li Xiaoxu and Han Dejun's offensive is still not improving, and Zhao Jiwei's 2+1 is just a flash in the pan. At halftime, Guangsha led Liaoning 93-72.
In the final quarter of the game, Guangsha continued to expand the score difference with another wave of 5-0. Zhao Jiwei made free throws to stop the bleeding, which is also a drop in the bucket. Zhu Junlong counterattacked to extend the difference to 27 points, and Liaoning took a timeout. It's not impossible to recover 25 points in the first half of the quarter, but it takes a miracle. Zhao Jiwei's free throw, Han Dejun's strong attack under the basket, every score of the Liaoning team seems extremely difficult. In the end, there was no miracle, Liaoning lost to Guangsha 98-109, and was swept 0-3.
