A Korean referee's on-site officiating in the LiaoYue Battle G1 brought an adjustment period for his team. According to the authoritative media, the Korean referee will be included in the referee lineup as a deputy referee in the G2 match. Therefore, his enforcement ability has undoubtedly become the focus of fans' attention.
In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of CBA games, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) has invited foreign referees to officiate. At this point, fans may have questions in their minds: why did the NBA choose Korean referees?
As we all know, the reputation of Korean sports in the world is quite controversial. 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the Korean men's soccer team improperly advanced to the semi-finals, bringing shame to the world soccer world. In addition, in the field of short track speed skating, the South Korean team is even more frequent strange tricks. Former South Korean short-track speed skating athlete Lim Hyo-miao, dissatisfied with the South Korean sports culture, decided to join the Chinese nationality... Various incidents show that the reputation of Korean sports is gradually deteriorating.
In the field of basketball, the Korean men's and women's basketball teams are not considered strong teams in Asia. Therefore, the Basketball Association invited Korean referees to participate in the enforcement of the semi-finals of the CBA playoffs, which triggered the questions of many fans.
Meanwhile, Du Feng's tactical adjustments are also in the spotlight. Facing a 0-2 deficit, Du Feng will surely play a strange trick in G2 to try to create trouble for Liaoning.
First of all, Zhou Qi will be released from his ban to play in G2, and Zhou Qi's return will undoubtedly improve Guangdong's overall strength. However, it doesn't mean that Guangdong is capable of beating Liaoning completely.
According to several media reports, Ren Junfei will still be absent from G2, which means that the Guangdong team's interior line needs young players to step up, and relying on Zhou Qi alone is obviously not enough.
In this context, Du Feng may adopt some special tactics to provoke Liao Basketball players to achieve his goal. From the publicized footage so far, Du Feng had tried to approach the Liao Basketball players but was rejected. This is enough to show that the Liaoning team is very mature and will not be easily influenced by Du Feng.
Basketball commentator Yang Yi has said that you have to work harder than them to beat Guangdong. Du Feng was reluctant to communicate too much before and after the game. To summarize, Du Feng's move in G2 is worth fans' expectation.
The third concern is how Yang Ming will deal with the challenge.After G1, Yang Ming bluntly said that this game is not the real level of the Guangdong team, and Zhou Qi's return will bring a huge challenge to the Liaoning team.
Liaoning beat Guangdong by 22 points in G1, mainly relying on the opportunity of Guangdong's mistake in the third quarter. With a close score in the first half, it is foreseeable that the competition in G2 will be even more intense!
First of all, Liaoning needs to control their turnovers. In G1, Liaoning had 11 players on the court, with a maximum of two turnovers by a single player. Zhang Zhenlin, who scored a game-high 34 points, had no turnovers, which is quite scary!
Zhao Jiwei contributed 19 points and 14 assists, committing only two errors. One of them was a turnover when he passed to Han Dejun. Zhao Jiwei slapped himself hard on the back with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 7. Keep in mind that the top NBA guards only have an assist-to-turnover ratio of 5. That's how Liaoning was able to beat Guangdong by 22 points in G1.
Therefore, Liaoning must control their mistakes in order to win in G2. Meanwhile, Yang Ming needs to be ready for Du Feng to let go of the ball! Finally, I hope the Korean referees won't be the center of attention in this game...
