The tall and strong suddenly accelerated at the top of the three-point arc, and the continuous crotch dribble followed by a change of direction to break through, and instantly flashed past the defender Xi Relijiang.

In front of Xi Relijiang, a member of the national team, Gao Dazhuang fully demonstrated his ball control and breakthrough talent, and the breakthroughs again and again made Xi Relijiang feel like he was about to collapse.

The tall and strong man who broke into the interior faced the Xinjiang team's shrinking defense, and passed the ball to Harris outside the three-point line with a behind-the-head pass.

Harris catches the ball and shoots, "brushes", and Harris hits a 3-pointer.

30 points, and in the final moments of the game, Harris's 3-point shot also brought his score to 30 points.

And Gao Dazhuang also got 21 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds at the moment.

However, the bright red numbers on the electronic scoreboard above the Hongshan Stadium in Urumqi indicate that the final winner of the game is indeed the Xinjiang team.

84：91

In the fourth quarter of the game between the two sides, Tang Zhengdong, the substitute center of the Xinjiang team, still played high, and soon forced Zhai Yi to hand over his fourth and fifth fouls.

Coach Panagio of the Shanghai team was forced to replace Zhang Zhaoxu, the starting center, but the ** of the Xinjiang team also reappeared on the court.

Zhang Zhaoxu committed 3 consecutive fouls in less than 5 minutes on the court, including 1 technical foul, resulting in Zhang Zhaoxu being sent off directly.

And 2 minutes later, substitute center Ji Xiang also made 6 fouls under the ** can be forced.

At this time, Zhai Yi, who had 5 fouls, and Zeng Wending, who had 4 fouls, became constrained, and the entire inside line of the Shanghai team completely collapsed.

So although Harris and Gao Dazhuang, the backcourt combination of the Shanghai team, combined to score 51 points, the Shanghai team still lost to the Xinjiang team by 7 points.

After losing, Zhang Zhaoxu blamed himself very much after the game, and when interviewed by local media in Shanghai, Zhang Zhaoxu blamed himself and said: "I have too many fouls, and many fouls are worthless, I dragged down the team." ”

To Zhang Zhaoxu's chagrin, due to the impact of fouls, he only played less than 20 minutes and only got 2 points and 5 rebounds, which is not the performance that a center forward should have.

Objectively speaking, at least four of Zhang Zhaoxu's six fouls last night were unnecessary.

Without his defensive height, the two foreign players of the Xinjiang team, Picott and Laver, were much more active, continuously attacking the interior and getting free throws.

At the press conference after the game, Shanghai coach Panagio also implicitly pointed out the defensive problems of the Shanghai team: "I very much appreciate the enthusiasm of the players when defending, but defensive aggressiveness does not mean that you should foul more, and you can't be too casual in fouls, otherwise the team may fall into passivity." ”

After the defeat to Xinjiang, Shanghai's seven-game winning streak was ended, while Shanghai's away trip continued.

The Shanghai team continued its journey north, and two days later, the Shanghai team challenged Liaoning away.

Before this battle, the Liaoning team had been hovering on the life-and-death line of the playoffs due to weak foreign aid and away games.

In this game, Liaoning team's main defender Yang Ming and foreign aid Carney were unable to play due to injury, on the other hand, the Shanghai team, although the last game lost to Xinjiang, but with a wave of 7 consecutive home wins, the Shanghai team has quietly entered the playoffs industry, although there is only a single foreign aid, but many media are more optimistic about the Shanghai team that is fighting away.

After the opening, as predicted by the media, the Liaoning team discharged an all-Chinese lineup, but they made the home fans sweat, and they were beaten 8:0 by the Shanghai team at the beginning.

Shanghai team's foreign aid Harris was like a divine help, shooting five of five in the first quarter and scoring 11 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Liaoning team trailed the Shanghai team by 9 points at 19:28.

Previously, the Liaoning team had a poor record, and the lack of foreign aid Powell was a big reason.

Prior to last night's game, it was rumored that the club would cut him. In the game, perhaps because the performance of the foreign aid of the Shanghai team was too eye-catching, Powell, who had been in a slump before, finally broke out rarely.

After the start of the second quarter, Powell's violent dunk sounded the horn of the Liaoning team's counterattack. Under his encouragement, the Liaoning team was full of firepower, Li Xiaoxu hit a half-volley basket, He Tianju made a dragon layup in one go, especially Han Dejun, the center of the Liaoning team, who frequently hit the inside line.

At half-time, Liaoning had equalized the score.

After the start of the third quarter, Powell scored four points in a row to overtake the score in one fell swoop.

Although the Shanghai team called a timeout in time, the Liaoning team that played morale was unstoppable, Han Dejun kept attacking the basket and succeeded, and Zhang Zhaoxu once again fell into the trouble of too many fouls.

In the case of the inside open, the rest of the Liaoning team also kept hitting three-pointers like gods. After a series of dazzling offensive frenzy, the Liaoning team gradually pulled the score away.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Shanghai team, which had fallen behind by more than 10 points, made a desperate bet and put all hopes on the combination of Harris and Tall and Strong in the team's backcourt, but the imbalance on the inside still made the Shanghai team lose to the Liaoning team.

89：93

In terms of technical statistics after the game, although Shanghai's Harris and Gao Dazhuang scored 35 and 22 points respectively, ranking first and second in the game, the Liaoning team was even better, with six players scoring double-doubles.

Among them, Zhang Qingpeng scored a team-high 20 points, and Powell also scored 19 points.

After losing to Liaoning, the Shanghai team once again fell out of the top 8 ranks.

Two days later, the Shanghai team moved to Changchun to challenge the Jilin team.

There has just been a snow in Changchun, and outside the gymnasium of Northeast Normal University, it is covered with snow everywhere.

The temperature is close to minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is indeed a big test for the big shark players who are used to being in Shanghai.

In the game, most of the players of the Shanghai team felt as cold as the weather.

The team's overall three-point shooting rate was a measly 21 percent, and only Gao Dazhuang and Harris scored double-doubles for Shanghai.

Statistically, the Shanghai men's basketball team is the best defensive team in the CBA, with the lowest average points per game in the league.

But this time, the Jilin coach obviously studied the Shanghai team very thoroughly. Since the Shanghai team likes to defend in a pinch, they use guard Douglas's good ball control skills to attract firepower, and then frequently create killing opportunities outside the three-point line.

In the whole game, the Jilin team made 16 three-pointers, 10 more than the Shanghai team.

Defensively, the "Siberian Tigers" seem to have gotten the true pass of Panagio, and it has been very difficult for the Shanghai team to score for a long time.

Rebounding became the biggest shortcoming of the Shanghai team, Zhang Zhaoxu fell into a foul dilemma, and the lack of height on the other insides allowed the Jilin team to grab 54 rebounds in the front and back courts, nearly 18 more than the Shanghai team.

88：93

Shanghai lost one more game, and as the best defensive team in the CBA, Shanghai has allowed opponents to score more than 90 points in three consecutive games.

The last stop of the Shanghai team's consecutive away trips was Taiyuan.

The Shanghai Sharks, who played in Taiyuan, eventually lost a crucial game, losing 108-119 to Shanxi, and the Shanghai Sharks returned with four consecutive away defeats and 10th place in the standings.

Before the match against Shanxi, Shanghai coach Panagio said: "Now is a very critical time, I need to win this game, you all know the current league rankings, and you also know the position of the Shanghai team, and now at this juncture, we must go all out and show our best form."

Although the Shanghai team did not let the Shanxi team take any advantage in the first half, after insisting on three quarters of the game, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Shanghai men's basketball team was attacked by the opponent and the score was pulled away by the opponent.

Head coach Panagio said, "We were opened up by the opponent's explosive offense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which was a key factor in the final loss. Shanxi foreign player Williams played the savior of the team, scoring 44 points in the game.

"We played a good game with the opponent for three quarters, but we couldn't defend against the attack of the opponent's two foreign players." Coach Panagio admitted, "Williams had a very good scoring performance in the first two games, and in this game, with Charles, the two of them scored more than 80 points together, which made it very difficult for us to defend"

With four consecutive defeats away from home, currently ranked 10th, and will next face Guangdong, Dongguan and Bayi at home in succession, the pressure on Coach Panagio can be imagined.

For the Shanghai Sharks, who are aiming for the playoffs, if they want to not drop the chain at the critical moment of advancing to the quarterfinals and stop the decline, they can not tolerate the slightest mistake, and it is urgent to solve the defensive problem.
