In this game, Beijing's small foreign aid, Jerman, scored 4 points in the first quarter with 3 of 1, 3 points in the second quarter with 8 of 1, 3 points in the third quarter with 3 of 1, and no points in the final quarter with 1 of 0. He scored a total of 10 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 3 turnovers in the game. Jerman's performance was extremely poor, both offensively and organizationally. Solomon scored 5 points with 9 of 2, three-pointers 3 of 1, and 1 steal, with worrying offensive efficiency. Omore played for 20 minutes and 18 seconds, shooting only 2 of 1 for 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist, with no presence on both offense and defense. Beijing Shougang must start replacing foreign players, as these three foreign players are currently not enough to support the team to go further in the playoffs.
In the last 15 seconds of the fourth quarter of this game, Beijing was only 4 points behind, but Fang Shuo did not pass the sideline ball to the unmarked Jerman or to Lei Meng who had fought for position. As a result, he hesitated and committed a 5-second violation, costing the game. The absence of Chen Yingjun affected the key ball ability of the ball handler, while the absence of Zeng Fanbo affected the speed and transition rhythm of the ball. The reason why Beijing Shougang led in the first three quarters of this game was that controlling the slow pace of attack and defense was the key, but in the fourth quarter, Sun Minghui led several quick counterattacks to gradually erase the point difference, and Beijing was gradually overwhelmed in the fast pace.
In this game, Fang Shuo scored 4 points with 9 of 2, three-pointers 4 of 0, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 turnovers. Zhai Xiaochuan scored 5 points with 6 of 2, three-pointers 2 of 0, 1 rebound, and 1 steal. Zhang Cairen scored 12 points with 10 of 5, three-pointers 6 of 2, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 steal, scoring 5 points in the first quarter with 4 of 2. The veteran lineup of Beijing Shougang is a sharp tool to change the pace of attack and defense, which has been verified in many games, but it cannot be used as a regular tactic for long-term use. Gradually transitioning to a role lineup is the correct tactic.
In this game, Zhou Qi scored 11 points with 9 of 3, three-pointers 3 of 2, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. Facing Guangsha's frontline with Boban Marjanovic, Hu Jinqiu, and Carlton, Zhou Qi still had problems with his strong attacking level, but his key three-pointers could still help the team gain an advantage. Fan Ziming scored 9 points with 8 of 4, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. Although he missed a shot against Sun Minghui, which was a bit embarrassing, he still made some achievements in organizing and responding, with better flexibility, but his rim protection and strong attacking level were still weak. It is temporarily difficult to solve Beijing's frontcourt problem, and it can only rely on finding high-quality big foreign aid.
