In the 29th round of the CBA regular season, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team narrowly defeated Beikong Men's Basketball Team at home with a score of 104-101.
Originally, this game was not supposed to be suspenseful. In the third quarter, Ferg almost single-handedly helped the team gain a huge lead with a performance of 24 points in a single quarter.
In the fourth quarter, there were no major issues for the first 7 minutes or so. However, a situation arose that made Yang Ming furious, as the score remained at 104, and Liaoning Men's Basketball Team failed to score any points in nearly 5 minutes, making several unreasonable ball handling decisions. Beikong Men's Basketball Team took advantage of this opportunity to reduce the score difference to only 3 points and still had possession of the ball. The game ended when Salinge missed the equalizing three-pointer.
After the game, Yang Ming expressed his dissatisfaction during an interview, stating that the content of the last part of the game needs to be carefully reviewed and summarized. He emphasized that the game should not have ended in such a manner. Although the team's current lineup is strong, their performance is not as good as it was during more challenging times. He questioned where this arrogance came from and warned that if such a situation occurs in the playoffs, all the hard work throughout the season would be wasted. Despite winning the game, he was not satisfied.
At the subsequent press conference, Yang Ming also expressed his discontent, saying that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team was just 3 minutes away from creating another kind of history tonight. He revealed that he had just thrown a tantrum in the locker room, telling the players that if they did not want to give their all on the court, they should not stay on the court. If they lost this game, they would face immense pressure in the future. Now, everyone's mindset has become less tenacious than during the most difficult times, so even winning doesn't bring much joy.
The situation Yang Ming described is indeed true, and he did not name anyone specifically, referring to a collective issue. Therefore, there is no need to blame any individual. After being scolded by Yang Ming, everyone should become more clear-headed. As long as problems are discovered and resolved in time, it can be considered a good thing.
Looking ahead, we still look forward to the performance of the new foreign player, Weber. Currently, Patton is doing well. If Weber can make up for the missed three-pointers by Li Xiaoxu and Fu Hao, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's strength will still be formidable. Let's continue to cheer them on.
