Chinanews.com client, Beijing, August 14 (Wang Hao) No one would have thought that after a 22-point defeat in the CBA Finals, after a 22-point fall in the third quarter of the second game, The Liaoning team relied on a bloody reversal to pull themselves back from the death line.
On the evening of the 13th, the second game of the CBA Finals kicked off as expected. As expected, Guangdong went smoothly and Liaoning was passively beaten. The Nine Crowns are moving steadily towards the tenth, and Liaoning, which has won six runner-ups, seems to be adding another runner-up.
Two days before this game, in the first game of the finals, Liaoning collapsed in three or four quarters, the front line was ordered by Guangdong, and the final 88:110 defeat. Liaoning team center Han Dejun played more than 43 minutes, but was helped off by his teammates because of cramps.
Regardless of staffing or player mentality, the disastrous defeat in the second game seemed reasonable. But if you give up in this way, it is not the Liaoning men's basketball team.

In the third quarter of the second game of the finals, they trailed by 22 points at most, but it was also in this quarter that they blew the counterattack clarion call. One by one unreasonable three-pointers, one after another decisive breakthrough, hit Guangdong by surprise.
In the end, after some pulling and pulling, Liaoning won 115:113, tied the big score in the finals to a 1-1 draw, and competed for the next game against Guangdong for the chance to fight to the death.
Liaoning's lineup with defects due to injuries and insufficient bench thickness in this game is like a machine without a back road, showing the bloody momentum of people blocking the killing of the Buddha. Victory belongs to everyone, but Guo Ailun has to be mentioned.
In the last game, he played less than 30 minutes and scored 14 points. For many times, he sat down the court eagerly, watching the Guangdong team open the score little by little and take away the victory. After the game, the coaching staff of the Liaoning team was scolded by fans on Weibo hot search. And "the generals' discord" has become a guess of many people.

This season's Liao basketball team has been precarious. After the Men's Basketball World Cup, Guo Ailun's condition has not been adjusted to the best, and he has been plagued by lung problems and missed many games.
However, the running-in between the foreign aid Stephenson and the team, which Liaoning signed at a high price, can be called "painful". Various factors have been added together.
The CBA ushered in a restart five months after the suspension of the epidemic. At this time, Liaoning fell into a trough again. The new foreign aid Mayo has yet to be integrated, the domestic players' morale is low, and the performance of the Liaoning team was so angry that the team coach Guo Shiqiang slammed the tactical board during a timeout. In the end, Guo Shiqiang dismissed get out of class sadly.

At that stage, the situation of the Liaoning team highlighted the shortcomings of the team's lack of reserve strength. People began to count the Liaoning people who played for other teams one by one. Among them, Wang Shipeng and Zhou Peng appeared frequently.
The brain drain in Liaoning has become a topic that has been discussed thousands of times and everyone knows. Regardless of the reason for these discussions, it seems to confirm that Liaoning basketball is on a "dead end".
Of course, this kind of bad news should be no stranger to the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. They are the team with the most league runner-ups in the CBA, and only one championship has been accounted for after years of hard work.

What is the runner-up? Some say it is the biggest loser, some say it's just a little bit so it's just as great. Perhaps, it's like the climber who is only a short distance from the summit, but falls to the bottom of the valley again and again. What people see is their shortcomings, and their perseverance and courage to climb from the bottom of the valley again and again are rarely mentioned.
The new coach officially announced by the Liaoning team is the old captain Yang Ming, but he has not obtained the qualification certificate for sideline command. The current on-the-spot command of the team is in charge of the foreign teacher Martinez. New coach, new weather, but what about the "old guys" in the team?
Guo Ailun has always been one of the best scorers in the country, but there have always been voices of doubt from the outside world about his way of playing. Especially when the Liaoning men's basketball team is facing difficulties and re-adjusting its play style, the first one is Guo Ailun.
But before the start of the playoffs, Guo Ailun once said: "As long as I play, I will do my best. I am Guo Ailun. I want to play my own basketball. I will not change. I have succeeded before, and I will persist until now. change."

This 22-point reversal is probably a gift to him for persistence.
After a conscious foul in the last garbage time of the first game of the finals, Guo Ailun seemed to look in the direction of the team's coaching bench, but the coach did not replace him and kept him on the court. This scene has become the cause of the anger of many fans, thinking it is a disrespect for the core of the team.
In the second game of the finals, after Guo Ailun made an unreasonable three-pointer, his eyes were no longer helplessly cast towards the coaching bench. This is his game. What he should look at is the route of the next fast break or the starting point of the three-pointer.

In fact, if this can be called a heart-stirring game, put into the entire Liaoning team and Guo Ailun's career, perhaps only a small node. Guo Ailun still has to continue to adapt to the changes in the team. After the coaching change of the Liaoning team, he still has to make changes that may bring pains, and the loss of talents in Liaoning basketball is still untracked.
But athletes, the fight is endless. This game is also like a microcosm of the Liaoning team this season and even the entire history of the team. There are a few times that people feel that they are in desperation, but they can come out on their own. The Liaoning men's basketball team is unbeatable.
On the evening of the 15th, it will be the final battle of this finals. Will the Liaoning team win the championship? no one knows. But viewers who have watched this big reversal will believe that they will give everything to the final chapter of the decisive battle. After the magic, there may be another magic. (Finish)
