88-101, Liaoning Men's Basketball lost at home to Guangsha Men's Basketball. The defending champions mainly lost in the third quarter, or rather, lost because of Yang Ming. It was his use of zone defense and letting Zhao Jiwei start that led to being completely overwhelmed by Guangsha on both offense and defense. Using zone defense cultivated Brown's feel for the game, Zhao Jiwei had no offensive presence, no threat at all, it was like playing 4 against 5, how could they not lose? Guangsha is really strong, and what's scary is that they are not even at full strength. If they can stay healthy, they are definitely the most hopeful team to win the championship this year.
Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game:
Liao Media: Liao basketball losing to Guangsha is completely acceptable, but there were also gains. Patton's trial run was a success, at least much stronger than Ture, fully capable of taking on the role of a substitute for Dahan. Congratulations to Coach Wang Bo, with his day-to-day research, he finally found Liaoning's weakness, this victory is well-deserved.
The opponent's lineup this season is the most complete, the core is mature, the championship favorite, for many years the regular season has been awkward against this opponent, it's a matter of mutual generation and mutual inhibition. The main problem is offensive efficiency, rebounds and second-chance points are leading, but facing high forwards the offensive efficiency is very low, this is related to the state and the opponent's overall restrictions. Defensively, Brown is very strong, but still too comfortable, the same opportunities you can't seize, three-pointers 7 to 16.
Yue Media: Liaoning is indeed encountering difficulties now. If Zhao Jiwei comes back and it doesn't work, there's actually not much more that can be done. Of course, there is still one foreign aid that hasn't arrived yet, if Weber can play at a high level, who knows what might happen.
Detective Zhao: Liaoning lost at home to Zhejiang Guangsha, 88 points is the third-lowest single-game score for the team this season. The gap between the two teams mainly focused in the third quarter, Guangsha went on a 36-14 run, and Liaoning never caught up again.
Ji Mengnian: So far this season, almost all the focus, controversy, and traffic have been concentrated on teams like Liaoning, Guangdong, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Beijing, etc. Only Guangsha remains quiet, silent strong teams are often the most terrifying.
Liaoning player Fu Hao: Everyone's state is not good, poor handling inside and outside. Skill-wise we are inferior, nothing to complain about.
Guangsha head coach Wang Bo: Liaoning has been an old rival, over the years we've been learning from playing against Liaoning. I don't think this is Liaoning's highest level right now, Xiao Xu and Da Han were already playing on the court when I was still a player, and they are still running on the court now, their contributions to the team are still very, very significant.
