On the 13th, following the first round of the first round of the 2021-2022 China Men’s Basketball Professional League (CBA) semi-finals, Liaoning and Guangsha defeated their opponents to seize the opportunity in the series. Can the Guangdong team’s rotation lineup improve? Can the Shanghai team break the Guangsha team’s pick-and-roll cooperation? There is a lot to see in the second round.
In the first round, the Guangdong team played abnormally in the first half, scoring only 10 points in the second quarter, and scoring 24 points in the first half, a record low in the playoffs. On the other hand, six players from the Liaoning team scored in double figures, and the inside players Fu Hao, Morand and other players rotated.
The low offensive efficiency, insufficient scoring ability of the rotating lineup, and too many mistakes have become the problems that the Guangdong team needs to solve urgently.
Looking at the lineup of the two teams, the Guangdong team is not dominant in the rotation lineup, scoring only 17 points in the first round, while the Liaoning team has 45 points in the rotation lineup. The Guangdong team’s leading strikers, Weems and Zhou Peng, only contributed 21 points to the team. If Guangdong wants to win the second round, the strikers and rotation players must improve, and at the same time, a firm defensive strategy is adopted to limit the Liaoning team’s score. Whether Ledo and Ren Junfei, who failed to play in the first round of the contest, can return in the game on the 14th is also crucial. In the best-of-five semifinals, the defending champion Guangdong team still has room to adjust.
In the first round of the Liaoning team, players in each position scored relatively evenly. How Guo Ailun scored under the opponent’s high-intensity defense and drove the whole team? Whether Zhang Zhenlin can continue to help the team on the striker line may directly affect the trend of the game. As Yang Ming, the head coach of the Liaoning team, said, “This is not the real level of Guangdong. I believe that with the ability and experience of Du Feng’s guidance, more changes will be made.” Liaoning team must not have any slack.
In the first match between the Guangsha team and the Shanghai team, the Guangsha team was better as a whole. On the other hand, the Shanghai team, facing the pick-and-roll cooperation between Sun Minghui and the inside players, fell into a passive position on the defensive end. The inside general Wang Zhelin was targeted by foreign aid Okafor and scored only two points in the first quarter. At the same time, the team committed too many fouls.
The Shanghai team is not without opportunities in the second round. Whether Sun Minghui can break the pick-and-roll cooperation between Sun Minghui and the inside players will be a key factor in the game. The Shanghai team needs to take the initiative to cut off the Guangsha team’s internal and external cooperation. When Sun Minghui and other players are resting, they seize the opportunity to score points through quick counterattacks. The next game between the two sides will be played on the 15th.
