Chapter 213: The Miracle of the Black Eight
"Tut" At the moment when the bounced basketball was grabbed by Yang Kai, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
The score was finally fixed at 94:95, and the Guangdong team playing at home lost.
"Oh" Yang Kai excitedly threw the basketball in his hand into the air, and then quickly pounced on Gao Dazhuang, and Zhai Yi and Gao Dazhuang had already hugged each other tightly, and the players of the Shanghai team on the field poured into the stadium from the bench and rushed towards their teammates in the field.
Shanghai team coach Panagio touched his chin and smiled at the players on the field, especially relieved to look at the tall and strong who were pressed under him by his teammates, "What a treasure" Coach Panagio couldn't help but sigh.
After slashing 50 points in the last game and single-handedly overthrowing the Guangdong team, Gao Dazhuang scored a triple-double of 38 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in this game, leading the team to complete a 20-point super reversal, defeating the defending champion Guangdong team again on the road, and completing the sweep of the first place in the regular season as the eighth place in the regular season.
0:3
The defending champion Guangdong team fighting at home was swept at his own doorstep, which was undoubtedly a severe pain that the Guangdong dynasty could not bear, and the entire Dongguan Stadium was particularly dull except for the faint sound of the Shanghai "Little Yellow Croaker Fan Group".
Li Chunjiang, the head coach of the Guangdong team, endured the pain in his heart and comforted his players one by one, while the old players of the Guangdong team, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng, walked into the locker room without saying a word, the disappointment of the young players was overflowing, Zhou Peng squatted on the ground in annoyance, Liu Xiaoyu and Dong Hanlin were comforting each other, and Chen Jianghua closed his eyes in pain......
"This time you won, I hope the next time I meet you is in the NBA, and then we will have a showdown," said Brooks, a foreign aid of the Guangdong team, who came to Gao Dazhuang's side before leaving, and Brooks still scored 30 points in this game under the defense of Gao Dazhuang.
"Always accompanied" Tall and Strong made an NBA agreement with Brooks on the CBA court.
At the press conference after the game, the much-anticipated Gao Dazhuang did not attend, and the Shanghai team was attended by head coach Panagio and captain Liu Wei.
At the press conference, Coach Panagio changed his previous low-key attitude and expressed his goal of winning the championship in front of many media, and said that he would train players to make winning a habit.
Regarding the performance of Gao Dazhuang in these games, Liu Wei said that it was definitely "phenomenal", and on the question of whether Gao Dazhuang was selected for the national team, Liu Wei bluntly said that the CBA could no longer find a better defender than Gao Dazhuang, including foreign aid.
Li Chunjiang, the head coach of the Guangdong team, was unexpectedly absent from the post-match press conference, and despite repeated explanations from club officials, it was still difficult to be angry with the Guangdong media.
The owner of the Guangdong team had to come forward to calm the anger of the media and said that although the Guangdong team stopped in the first round of the playoffs this season, the club's confidence in the future development has not been affected, and the team's goal for next season is still the championship.
"Are you used to the playoffs without Guangdong?" -- the eye-catching headline of the "Yangcheng Evening News" makes people feel sad for a while.
"The Guangdong team lost at least 30 million yuan in losing the championship, and the dream of the eighth crown was stranded for one season" -- this is the sharp comment of "Nanfang Daily".
"Guangzhou Daily" pointed out that "the numb heart is not worthy of the championship, and Guangdong needs passion if it wants to rebuild the dynasty", "experts consult on the pain of the loneliness of the Guangdong dynasty, how can a group of bosses fight hard when they play ball", the article pointed out:
Compared to the early days of the rise of the Hongyuan Dynasty and the years when the team was in full swing, after spending some time on the "throne", the team gradually became a little rigid and numb in these seasons.
You won't be particularly happy when you win, and after losing, everyone is in the locker room listening to the boss and coach while silently looking at their phones.
The desire to win in a team that has already carried too many accolades seems to have faded away, and the excitement of the team is no longer known.
The reason for the numbness is that many players have put a lot of energy off the court, after the perennial victory brings too much honor and money, many people have stopped treating basketball as life, many players focus on who bought luxury cars, famous watches, and some players' energy is also scattered on entrepreneurship, investment and various side hustles, saying that "there is no big impact", but is this really the case?
I really hope that this once-in-12-year "earthquake" can wake up the nerves of the players who have been numb, and I hope to shake back their desire for honor.
The "Sports Weekly" reprinted an exclusive interview with Yi Jianlian, who played NBA, in which Yi Jianlian bluntly said, "What is there to question about Guangdong's 7 championships in 8 years?" ", indicating that the Guangdong Dynasty was not over.
The Xinhua News Agency also reported at length -- "Guangdong's Hongyuan Dynasty Has Not Collapsed Yet," and the article pointed out that the problem of replacing the old with the new has erupted in a concentrated manner after a series of bad results of the national team, and it has become an indisputable fact, while the Guangdong team, which has many national players, has more or less been covered up by its outstanding achievements for a long time.
The halo of the seven champions, 10 consecutive finals, the first in the regular season is a gorgeous coat for Guangdong, it can be said that the dominance of the Guangdong dynasty is declining, but the collapse or change has not yet arrived, on the local strength and bench depth Guangdong is still among the top three in the league without suspense, and it is the balance that the Guangdong dynasty must make to do a good job in reconstruction.
Before the crossroads, there is no time to continue to wander - sail against the current, do not advance or retreat, in the increasingly competitive CBA, if you want to rebuild the dynasty, you must have the passion to always pursue victory.
"Basketball Pioneer" reported from the side - "Who can become a leader among the Mesozoic players in Guangdong?" Li Chunjiang: It's too far behind the leader of the Shanghai team"
Over the years, these young players of the Guangdong team have been growing up in good times, whether it is Zhou Peng, Liu Xiaoyu and Chen Jianghua, or Su Wei, Wang Zheng, and then Dong Hanlin, Ren brothers and Li Yuanyu and others, they have had a smooth ride all the way over the years, and the champions have been one after another.
So over the years, even though many of the young people in Guangdong have good talent and good ability, and the national team has not been less successful, when it comes to succession, most people still think that they do not have such ability.
The best performer in the Guangdong team is Zhou Peng, who is also considered the most likely leader of Hongyuan in the future, and he has taken on the responsibility of defending tall and strong in all three games. was exploded three times in a row by Gao Dazhuang, "50 points" and "three doubles" made people realize the real gap between the young people of the Guangdong team and the young people of the Shanghai team.
……
However, soon, the media's attention shifted from the Guangdong team to the next round of the playoffs by the "Black Eight", because the Shanghai team was about to win the Xinjiang team that eliminated the Dongguan team 3:2.
Many Cantonese media even reminded the Xinjiang team that "the first game is a watershed, please remember the lessons of Guangdong to Xinjiang", "How will the Xinjiang team with both offense and defense defend tall and strong?" ”
The first match between the two teams will be played at the Yuanshen Sports Center in Pudong, Shanghai, but after the victory over defending champions Guangdong, Xinjiang has become the underdog in everyone's mind.
The Xinjiang team attached great importance to the first match against the Shanghai team, and their club owner Sun Guangxin personally went to supervise the away game.
When it comes to Sun Guangxin, people often associate him with words such as throwing money, persistence, and madness, and it is no wonder that since Sun Guangxin moved into the Xinjiang men's basketball team in 1999, he has repeatedly used his big arm movements, and it only took 10 years to build this previously unknown small team into a team that has always had the strength to win the championship.
"Beat them and win the championship" This is the pre-war mobilization made by Sun Guangxin, the owner of the Xinjiang club, to the players of the Xinjiang team.
