This game's final whistle sounded, with the score firmly set at 79 - 83.
Guangsha team played at home and eventually defeated the visiting Beijing team by a margin of 4 points. As a result, Beijing lost this match, which is quite regrettable.
Let's delve into the details.
Firstly, it must be said that Guangsha did indeed win this game, but if we were to discuss how outstanding their performance was during the match, there's actually quite a bit to say.
It's not really like that.
Let's put aside other aspects for now and focus solely on the score.
Looking at the final score, they only managed to score 83 points throughout the entire game. When compared to their season average, it's clear that they were at least 20 points short.
Obviously, such a situation is not normal.
If we consider the game from a single quarter perspective,
In the first quarter of the game, they successfully scored 17 points.
During the second quarter, they also managed to secure 17 points.
They accumulated 34 points in the first half, and it's no exaggeration to say that when they are in similar form, this is roughly the number of points they can score in a single quarter.
Now let's take a look at the third quarter; typically, a top-tier team like them, after experiencing the first half of the game, should show a strong recovery in the second half after the halftime break.
However, throughout the third quarter, they only managed to score 20 points. Compared to the first and second quarters, although it's slightly better, this advantage isn't particularly significant.
Now let's talk about Beijing's side; even though the points they scored in the first three quarters weren't very high either.
They scored 22 points in the first quarter;
The second quarter was set at 20 points.
When the game reached the third quarter, they scored 22 points.
The final score of this game was 64 points, which is less than Guangsha's score, leading Guangsha by a full 10 points.
Normally, when two strong teams face each other, such a point difference is not insignificant.
It can be seen that Guangsha's victory in this game was crucial in the fourth quarter, and they won the game through a reversal.
Clearly, such a victory is far from being a resounding one.
Next, let's talk about Beijing's side.
As previously mentioned, at the end of the third quarter, the team had a 10-point lead. Although this advantage is not extremely exaggerated, overall, it's quite a good situation.
Be aware that in such a top-tier team matchup, once the point difference exceeds the score of a single round, it's not easy to catch up.
Also, keep in mind that in the fourth quarter, only one foreign player can be arranged to play. On Beijing's side, they still have Zhou Qi, which means they are effectively maintaining a "double foreigner" configuration.
In other words, any team that simply compares their fourth-quarter performance with Beijing's is at a disadvantage.
But who would have thought that despite having such a favorable position of "advantage in my hands," Beijing ended up making a complete mess of it and ruined the game.
After entering the fourth quarter, they suddenly seemed to lose their touch, completely lacking their previous state, and their performance on the court appeared very unfamiliar, as if they suddenly didn't know how to play anymore.
They only managed to score 15 points in a single quarter.
Look at Guangsha's performance; if they don't take some action, it would be a shame to辜负 Beijing's intentions.
You see, this point difference is not out of reach for Guangsha, and there is a possibility of catching up.
Especially for a top-tier team like Guangsha.
The key is that there is still an old player in Beijing who has given Guangsha an excellent "assist."
There is such a person, his name is Fang Shuo.
In this game, he played for 25 minutes and 36 seconds. Throughout the game, his shooting performance was not ideal, with a total of 9 attempts but only 2 hits; his performance outside the three-point line was even worse, with 4 attempts all missing. The final statistics showed that he only scored 4 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and made 7 assists, but also had 3 turnovers.
Let's not talk about those so-called data and offensive efficiency for now.
To be honest, if you still expect Fang Shuo to achieve something remarkable in these areas, it's basically impossible.
However, at least the role that an old player should play needs to be brought into play.
In other words, in critical moments, it's probably possible to make one or two shots.
However, Fang Shuo is not like that.
His style of doing things is completely the opposite.
For example, in those critical moments when a good opportunity appears, he chooses not to shoot (or perform a corresponding action, which needs to be clarified based on the previous text; here, I will use a basketball scenario as an example).
Another example is taking action at an unreasonable time.
Look at this posture, it really takes oneself as a "superstar."
The key is that when the fourth quarter was about to end, Beijing faced a sideline throw-in situation. At that time, Jerman had the conditions to receive the ball, and Raymond also had the possibility to receive the ball. However, what was puzzling was that Fang Shuo, for some unknown reason, insisted on finding the so-called "third point" to arrange the pass.
This throw-in ultimately resulted in a violation, transferring the ball possession to Guangsha.
At this point, Beijing has completely lost the possibility of turning the game around in this match.
So to speak, if Guangsha were to hold a "celebration banquet" for this victory, they probably wouldn't even touch their chopsticks if Fang Shuo didn't come, and such an expression is not too exaggerated.
