Chapter 143 Rebound or Sink
The second game of the finals will continue to be played at the Guangdong team's home court, and the game time will be 2 days later.One day before the start of the second game, the Guangsha team conducted routine team training in the arena.

During the training, the faces of the Guangsha team members and coaches were very relaxed, and everyone was not frowning because of the big loss in the first game.In order to avoid injury, the intensity of this training is not high.After training, as before, I stayed and practiced 3-pointers.

Everyone is not unfamiliar with the fact that Ying Xiong is always the first to arrive at the arena and the last to leave.His teammates admire him for his hard work and humility as a young man.

The head coach Wang Fei also stayed and trained with Yingxiong for a while.After training, the two sat on the courtside lounge chairs and chatted.

"Ying Xiong, I really like what you said in the waiting room during the intermission yesterday." Wang Fei started the conversation first.

Ying Xiong smiled: "Well, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just felt that in this situation, I should say something."

"To become a qualified team leader, you must be able to take responsibility on and off the field. You are doing well so far!" Wang Fei said.

"Leader or not, I don't care that much. I just don't want everyone to be restrained by factors other than their abilities and unable to perform at their 100% level. Coach, I don't want to lose!" Ying Xiong's eyes revealed firmness .

"What do you think of the Guangdong team?" Wang Fei asked suddenly.

Ying Xiong thought for a while and replied: "Very strong, they give me the feeling that they should be the most comprehensive opponents I have encountered so far. The Bayi team is also very strong. This season is not as good as last season due to injuries. So strong, the disadvantage of not having foreign aid has also been revealed. Other strong teams also have their own shortcomings, and the Guangdong team, on the whole, is the team with the least shortcomings among all CBA teams. In fact, everyone may have misunderstood it. The strength of the Guangdong team stems from their excellent offense. Of course, their offense is indeed very good, with many national players. But in fact their strongest is their defense."

"Do you think their defense is better than offense?" Wang Fei asked noncommittally.

Ying Xiong nodded and said: "The Guangdong team's defense, whether it's against people with the ball or without the ball, is very good. Their ability to execute defensive strategies is excellent, and they have rich defensive experience, and the defense line is very flexible. Good. Playing against them is the most tiring, because they have an excellent defensive system."

"Where do you think their shortcomings are? Offensive and defensive!" Wang Fei asked.

Ying Xiong paused for a moment, and then replied: "In my opinion, the shortcoming of their defense is that they lack a real frame protector. Jackson is a foreign aid with exceptional defense and rich experience. There is a tacit understanding among other players in the interior. However, his age, speed and bounce have declined, and his physical strength is also a problem. When Jackson rests, the team lacks the height of interior defense during the rotation stage. In terms of perimeter defense, the position of point guard On the other hand, Liu Xiaoyu and Chen Jianghua are neither tall nor strong, they are too young to have enough defensive experience."

Ying Xiong paused, and continued: "As for the offense, I think they lack a strong offensive point inside without the UAE. Jackson is more defensive, and the small foreign aid does not see the possibility of becoming a strong offensive point. They The perimeter offense is particularly threatening and the shooting ability is too strong. But there is also a problem. Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, and Du Feng all have better shooting than breakthrough. Once the touch is not good, the offense will become difficult. I can think of That's all."

Wang Fei looked at Ying Xiong with admiration, and he liked the young man in front of him more and more.Ying Xiong is not simply a talented player, but also a player who is good at thinking and analyzing.He analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the opponent's lineup so well, it can be seen that he has spent a lot of effort in private. "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles." It is not easy for a player to achieve this level.

"Ying Xiong, the second match will be a tough battle!" Wang Fei said slowly.From his eyes, Ying Xiong saw firmness and seriousness.

Ying Xiong nodded solemnly and said: "Whether the team rebounds or continues to sink, we can see in the second game."

"Will we win?" Wang Fei probed.

"Of course, I will definitely win!" Ying Xiong's words also revealed firmness.

The 20-point loss in the first game made the Guangdong fans very happy, and they were also very optimistic about the prospects of the home team winning the championship.In their view, the Guangsha team is still too young, has too little experience in the finals, and is not as strong as their home team. Losing is beyond doubt.

But the coaches and players of the Guangdong team don't think so.They are not as optimistic as the fans. At least, in their opinion, the strength of the Guangsha team is not like the difference between the two teams. There is a huge gap in grades with the Guangdong team.In fact, when Ying Xiong was on the court, the Guangsha team was very organized and competitive, whether it was offense or defense, and it was not the legendary "dark horse".

The Guangdong team is a very experienced team in the finals. They clearly know that in the finals, only the team that wins 4 games first can win the championship.As for our team, now we are just winning a home game.For the own team, the first home game must be won; but for the opponent, losing an away game is not really unacceptable.In fact, there is no essential difference between winning 1 point and winning 20 points.Therefore, the importance of the second confrontation between the two teams emerged.If your team wins, you can go to the away game with a total score of 2:0, which has an obvious advantage; but if you lose, the home court advantage will no longer exist, and the pressure will be on your team.

The second game of the finals will continue on February 2 at the Guangdong team's home court.The game has not yet started, and the arena is already full of seats.Tickets for the finals were sold out as soon as they went on sale.Fans who can't buy tickets can only buy tickets from scalpers. Of course, the price is naturally more expensive.

In the second game of the finals, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.For the Guangdong team, the starting lineup is the same as the previous game: Jackson, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Zhou Peng, Liu Xiaoyu; for the Guangsha team, the lineup has changed: White, Yu Liang, Zhang Nan, Yu Junkai, Ying Xiong .White and Yu Liang replaced Thompson and Yao Peng, and the rest of the starting lineup remained unchanged.

The coaching staff of the Guangdong team has long been mentally prepared for the change of Guangsha.Generally speaking, the side that loses in the series will make adjustments first.The direction of adjustment generally starts with the lineup, and there will also be targeted arrangements for offensive and defensive strategies at the same time.In terms of techniques and tactics, there is less room for adjustment.It is difficult to change the style of play throughout the season. Even if it changes, it depends on the players on the field.
