Keep Hope

Original title: Keep Hope

On March 19th, Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued its fierce battle. Among them, the Beijing North Control team defeated the Shenzhen team 126-107, ending a 4-game losing streak, while continuing to have a glimmer of hope for the playoffs. In the game, the North Control team experienced ups and downs from leading, being overtaken, and leading again. And the Shenzhen team, who rested the three main players after the first quarter, also intends to “show mercy”.

In the last two games of the regular season, the Beijing Beikong Team, which ranked 14th in the league, can only win all of them, and they will have a glimmer of hope to advance to the playoffs, but it depends on the faces of Tianjin Team, Shandong Team and Xinjiang Team. Therefore, there is only a theoretical possibility for the North Control team to enter the playoffs.

However, even though it is only a theoretical possibility, the soldiers of the North Control team are fighting for victory with all their might. In the first quarter, the North Control team had a smooth sailing, the team made 9 of 12 two-pointers, and the shooting rate was 75%. 7 of 11 three-pointers, shooting 63.6%. In 12 minutes, the team made only 1 turnover, leading Shenzhen by 3 points 45-32 in the first quarter, which is definitely a perfect start for the North Control team.

In the second quarter, the first unstable factor of the North Control team began to erupt. At about 9 minutes and 50 seconds into the game, Zhao Yiming faced Haas at the basket, and the local teenager played 2+1 inside. In this attack and defense, Haas was hit in the crotch, and he was also replaced to rest later.

It was after Haas came off the court that the North Control team continuously lost the inside line, and the Shenzhen team first played a small climax of 10-2 to approach the point difference. After that, Sullinger, who came off the bench, scored 3 points in a row, another wave of 11-4 attacks, and the Shenzhen team overtook 53-51. Sullinger scored 16 of Shenzhen’s first 25 points in the second quarter.

In fact, the North Control team led by 13 points from the first quarter to being overtaken in the second quarter. Sullinger’s offense was hot and Haas was injured. These are just incentives, and the real key factor is that the North Control team’s own offense has problems. The team had only 10 points in the first 8 minutes.

Fortunately, the North Control team stabilized the situation with 4 minutes left in the second quarter, and the team’s hit rate improved. At the end of the half, the North Control team continued to lead 71-67, but their lead was no longer obvious.

Since the first quarter, the Shenzhen team has not sent the three main players Shen Zijie, Bai Haotian and He Xining, which is definitely a big plus for the North Control team. At the same time, Sullinger, who was in hot form, only played 5 minutes in the third quarter. Sure enough, the Shenzhen team, who played as a substitute, gradually exposed its shortcomings in the second half of the third quarter.

Starting from the 7th minute of the third quarter, the Shenzhen team did not score any sports battles in the next 4 minutes, and the team only relied on free throws to score 2 points. On the other hand, the North Control team, which is the main force, scored consecutively and successfully expanded the point difference to more than 10 points. After three quarters, the North Control team led 100-86 by 14 points.

In the 3 minutes and 27 seconds before the start of the last quarter, the relaxed North Control team played a 14-3 attack wave, expanding the lead to more than 20 points, which also directly dragged the game into garbage time.
