Dongguan Time Network News The sixth round of the 2017 Guangdong Provincial Basketball League was held last night. The defending champion Dongguan Rural Commercial Bank in the East District played against Qingyuan at home, and finally won 116:80 and continued to hold the top spot. According to the schedule, next Saturday (July 1) Guanjun will play Shaoguan away.
This game is the second match between Dongguan and Qingyuan this season. Under the leadership of Li Yiyang, a local high school player in the Shining Provincial League last season, Qingyuan's overall lineup is full of impact. Previously, it played 3 wins and 1 loss. On the Guanjun side, the two-time champion Roger did not make an appearance in this game, but Zhong Guodong, the main center of Guangdong University of Technology, who had previously missed the CUBA National Tournament due to injury, returned from injury, and the defending champions tended to be complete.
In terms of the game, Qingyuan showed a good momentum at the beginning of the quarter, and they fought fiercely with the Guanjun army. By adjusting the home team to strengthen the defensive intensity, they quickly opened up the point difference and entered the second quarter with a 15-point advantage. But Qingyuan did not give up on this, and played an 11-0 scoring offensive before halftime, which once narrowed the point difference to 5 points.
Such a scene is obviously a bit unexpected for the defending champion. After all, the previous consecutive victories and the overall strength made the outside world think that the Guanjun would be hard to beat in the group stage. This wave of challenges brought by Qingyuan is undoubtedly at the right time. For Dongguan Rural Commercial Bank, which is aiming for three consecutive championships, it must be fully focused at any moment in the game.
At 51:41 at halftime, the Guanjun army did not give the opponent a chance to make a move in the second two quarters, and finally won by 36 points, continuing to rank in the East 1st area. In terms of data, Dongguan scored an average of 7 players in this game, including Jin Guangzhu with 20 points, Li Xiang with 19 points, Huang Wenwei with 17 points, Chen Hang with 14 points, Mo Jiaying with 13 points, and Lu Yanpei and Zeng Bingqiang with 10 points each.
The provincial league group stage will begin next month, and the ranking of each division will gradually become clear. Before the playoffs arrive, Dongguan will continue to step up tactical drills through actual combat.
