Beijing unleashes the "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique, aiming for a double kill against Liaoning, Yang Ming is in trouble
Beijing wants to achieve a strong double kill against Liaoning in the second round of the Beijing-Liaoning battle. Indeed, Beijing has recently experienced a new wave of injuries, resulting in them facing many strong opponents with an incomplete lineup. However, it is precisely this experience that has further honed their domestic lineup. Just as Xu Limin said earlier, their general direction is not wrong! As long as they continue to work hard and persist in this direction, Beijing can also achieve its set goals! After all, they are no longer what they used to be. Not to mention the addition of Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun, their existing domestic lineup has also made significant progress. Xu Limin has now unleashed this "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique, aiming to achieve a strong double kill against the opponent in the second round of the Beijing-Liaoning battle. Can they really succeed? Let's take a look together!
I believe everyone is very clear that Liaoning is not a soft target. Not to mention their successful consecutive championship last season, even the Liaoning dynasty has emerged! This has instantly boosted their self-confidence to new heights. Indeed! Since core players like Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin suffered new waves of injuries, Liaoning's performance on the court has indeed fluctuated to a certain extent. But the previous games were not without gains. Besides Willes transforming into the team's new thigh and helping the team defeat Xinjiang, one of the top four teams, with a score of 115-89, young guard Wang Lanqin also completely played confidently on the court, which has alleviated Liaoning's shortcomings in the guard line from the root. When Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, these two major cores, return fully recovered, Liaoning's combat effectiveness will definitely soar to new heights.
But what kind of killer move is Xu Limin preparing with this "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique? How does it give them the confidence to double-kill Liaoning, the four-time champion? After all, the opponent's strength is not weak! In my opinion, the core of Xu Limin's preparation is very simple, which is the flexible transformation of "fast" and "slow" rhythms. Besides needing them to push the defensive counterattack tactics to new heights, they also need to launch fast-paced small-ball tactics at the right time. This can also form an extreme consumption of Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, these two veteran interior players. If possible, they need to continuously consume the endurance of these two interior veterans through a large number of back-and-forth runs. After their physical strength declines significantly, not only will their deterrence in the interior plummet, but their number of fouls on the court will also increase significantly, which is exactly the goal of this tactic!
Moreover, according to Xu Limin's revelation, Zhou Qi will likely officially return in the second round of the Beijing-Liaoning battle, which greatly enhances Beijing's overall strength. Even if he finds it difficult to return to peak form in this game, he can still help the team create more advantages in the interior at critical moments. This is also something Zhou Qi must do. There's no way; the cold and fever he had recently had too great an impact on him, causing him to lose weight significantly, which will inevitably affect his overall performance on the court. Even so, Zhou Qi still has time to regain his competitive form because the regular season has just progressed more than halfway, leaving enough time for Zhou Qi to rediscover his past peak, and he will certainly not disappoint everyone. After all, Beijing still wants to win the championship again, which requires them to make another breakthrough!
Not to mention, in order to help Beijing defend the dignity of their home court, Xu Limin has also prepared this "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique. When Beijing plays slow-paced defensive counterattacks, they will continue to attack Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, these two veteran interior players, creating more fouls on them. They also need Fang Shuo, Jerman, Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Cairen, and other players to completely draw out these two interior veterans with their three-point threat, which will instead create more opportunities for secondary shots for other teammates. Especially Zhou Qi, since his state has not yet recovered, finishing the final play with high shots under Liaoning's basket is still not a problem. When Beijing unleashes fast-paced small-ball tactics, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu will be consumed again, which will undoubtedly have a greater impact on Liaoning's performance on the court.
Indeed! Liaoning is determined to win the upcoming Beijing-Liaoning battle, but before this encounter begins, they have already fought two games against Xinjiang and Guangdong, further depleting their competitive state. In this situation, it is apparent that their competitive state will find it challenging to return to its peak in a short period. Not to mention, Zhao Jiwei's chances of returning are still not high, making it difficult for Liaoning to perform at its peak again. Of course, this does not include the problems Liaoning faces in the interior. Even so, Yang Ming and his team will not give up the game actively. Because from the current situation, Liaoning's existing lineup also needs to undergo more event trials. Only then can Liaoning's combat effectiveness achieve new breakthroughs in a short period, and Yang Ming knows how to proceed.
If asked here, after Xu Limin unleashes this "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique, can Beijing really achieve a strong double kill against Liaoning, the four-time champion, in their home court? In my opinion, their chances of success are apparently as high as 80%. After all, Zhao Jiwei's likely absence makes it difficult for them to display sufficient firepower on par with Beijing on the court, let alone Zhou Qi's likely return in this game, which greatly enhances Beijing's interior strength. Indeed! It is true that Zhou Qi's competitive state is challenging to fully recover in a short period! But as long as he stands under his own basket, foreign players like Foger and Willes dare not easily break through to Beijing's basket; otherwise, Zhou Qi will not hesitate to give them a serving of hot pot blocks. In this situation, Liaoning is indeed likely to be strongly double-killed by Beijing!
