In this match, Xinjiang team, as usual, only registered 11 players to participate, which has become a common situation in recent game arrangements. The reason for this is that Xinjiang team is really facing the dilemma of the absence of main players. The main players of the team are either plagued by injuries or facing suspension penalties, and there are indeed great challenges in terms of personnel. Looking at the opponent Fujian team, this team has long been at the bottom of the league and is relatively weak in strength. Moreover, Xinjiang team's home court has always been known as the "devil home court" of the league, which makes many opponents wary. Based on such a background, it is unlikely that anyone would associate the word "upset" with this game before it started. However, the progress of the game was quite unexpected. At the beginning of the whole game, Fujian team quickly took the initiative as a guest and made an impressive 12-3 run, instantly taking the lead in the score. Fortunately, Lawson and Qi Lin of Xinjiang team stood out in time, relying on their excellent individual ability to continuously score points, successfully stopping the decline of the team, so that Xinjiang team only lagged behind by 3 points at the end of the first quarter, and entered the second quarter relatively smoothly. After entering the second quarter, the game situation remained close and changeable. First, Peterson of Xinjiang team showed excellent touch outside the line and successfully hit key shots.

Xinjiang's foreign aid, Lawson, was as soft as he was big, with nothing but frustration throughout the game. From the start of the game, Xinjiang relied heavily on foreign aid Peterson, especially his stable performance on the offensive end, but under Lawson's leadership, the team's overall performance was disappointing. Lawson frequently shot three-pointers, but the hit rate outside the three-point line was shockingly low. Am I overthinking it, or does Lawson really have too much confidence, thinking that these three-pointers can change everything? He tried again and again, but it was almost in vain, with the whole game's offense stuck in a vicious cycle. You would think Lawson could at least make some compensations on the offensive end, but his performance under the basket was utterly disappointing. Facing Shandong's inside players, especially Chris, Lawson was like a disappointing little brother, lacking any ability to compete. Rebounding was even more hopeless. In other words, Lawson not only failed to score himself but also created many opportunities for the opponent. Shandong's foreign aid Chris was truly extraordinary. Whenever he was on the court, the whole team's momentum was different. Chris completely dominated in his matchup against Lawson, leaving no room for Lawson to counterattack. Not only was he strong in the paint, but he also steadily grabbed rebounds, leaving Xinjiang with almost no…
