China News Client, Beijing, July 1st (Li He) When Wang Zhizhi and his Bayi team experienced a "black 1 minute" two days ago and suffered a 15-game losing streak from the Tongxi team's turnaround, perhaps they themselves Unexpectedly, only 30 days after the next day, they will achieve a counterattack on the Xinjiang team second place in the league.
The numbers on the scoreboard tell the truth: 83:76, the Bayi team finally won, even if it was a mixed victory. For the Bayi team, this victory is not an overkill.
After all, the Xinjiang team has only lost 8 games before, and they have only won one game since the rematch; the Bayi team has only won two games in the previous 35 games this season; since the rematch In the five games, they have lost 15 games in a row. Before today, they have not won the ball for 191 days; besides, just a week ago, the Xinjiang team defeated them by 20 points.

So when the game starts, even if the Bayi team leads the first quarter and ends the first half with an 8-point lead, maybe everyone who is standing in front of the TV will not think that when the game is over, the one who left with victory will be eight. a team.
However, when the Bayi Men's Basketball team widened the point difference to 15 points in the third quarter and resisted the wave of counterattacks in Xinjiang in the final quarter, coach Wang Zhizhi's face showed a long-lost smile and the Bayi team won. Too.
"At the crucial time, when the score was pushed by others, Xiao A (Alslan) scored a key three-pointer." Wang Zhizhi concluded the game after the game, in addition to affirming the team's efforts, also This key goal was specifically mentioned.
After the team locked in victory, Wang Zhizhi was relieved.
Adijiang, who was standing in front of the opponent's bench at the time, witnessed the son's highlight performance this round, and his heart may also fluctuate. Such fluctuations may not only stem from the duel between his son and his father.
Before the game, the meeting between Adijiang and Arslan's father and son, Adijiang and Wang Zhizhi's mentor and apprentice were all one of the stunts of this game, but no one would think that the biggest topic after the game was the Bayi team. Upset win.
When a regular-season victory for the Bayi team will become such rare news, I wonder if Wang Zhizhi, who has just won the 14th CBA game in his coaching career, will have some mixed psychology.
Wang Zhizhi defeated his former teacher.
After all, he has experienced the most prosperous period of the Bayi team. Among the eight championships in the team history, Wang Zhizhi witnessed seven of them; and after 2007, he also felt the complete process of the rapid decline of the Bayi team.
In 2018, after taking over from teacher Adijiang, he led his team to 11 victories this season. Although it is still not optimistic, it has only won 3 games from the previous season and the most in a single season since the 2013-2014 season. The bleak 7 wins were relatively compared, and the young coach Wang Zhizhi once gave the Bayi team a glimmer of hope.
But this hope was shattered again this season.
Before the Spring Festival holiday, they only won two games. After 33 games, they were out of the playoffs for nine consecutive seasons.

In the past, in the context of rapidly improving the level of foreign aid in the entire CBA league, the Bayi team was unable to keep up with the "trend" because of its military status. It was regarded as an important reason for their rapid decline in competitiveness and bottom of the record for many years. Even so, there have been voices saying that on domestic players, the Bayi men's basketball team is still ranked.
After the rematch, the foreign aid of most teams was unable to return to the team due to the epidemic, so 11 of the 20 teams chose to play in the All-China team. This also allowed the Bayi team to finally have the opportunity to stand on the same starting line with other teams, but what followed was the outside world's disillusionment with the last trace of the Bayi men's basketball team.
In the 5 games before this game, the Bayi team played three times against all Chinese class opponents. Not only did they not win, but they lost to their opponents by nearly 50 points in total.
This also made the Bayi team once again on the cusp of the storm. Whether they are suitable for staying in the professional league has been widely discussed. Such doubts even reached a new height after the Bayi men's basketball team encountered a reversal of the Tongxi team in the last minute.

It was against this background that the Bayi team won Xinjiang in a horrendous victory and took the third win after 36 games. No matter what kind of activities Wang Zhizhi is standing on the side of the field, even as a spectator, he feels mixed about this victory.
The Bayi men's football team has been out of the Chinese football professional stage for 17 years. After 17 years, the Bayi men's basketball team is still struggling. For them to appear in the CBA field as a special invitation, I don't know if this is lucky or unfortunate.
The only thing that is certain is that the brain drain, limited capital investment and many other problems that appeared on the Bayi men's football team at that time are now bothering the Bayi men's basketball team.
People may remember that in 2003, the Bayi men's football team left the final back of the professional arena, it was a wave of ten straight losses, everything seems familiar. (Finish)
