On April 28, Beijing time, according to domestic media reports, Guo Allen is about to make a comeback, and he has returned to China. Guo Allen has only played three games so far this season, and he will play in the semi-finals, so fans who bought tickets to watch the Liaoning game at home are blessed. At 9 o'clock in the middle of the night, Liaoning foreign aid Moreland also updated social media, he talked about the upcoming semifinals, and angrily complained that the CBA decision to ban Zhou Qi was bad, because he wanted to play with Zhou Qi and compete with the best players. I have to say that Moreland's pattern is very large, after Zhou Qi was banned, the probability of the Liaoning team winning was greatly increased, but Moreland hoped that Zhou Qi would return soon, so that he would be more motivated to play.
Moreland wrote, "Hey everyone, I see that everybody cares about me, I'm in good shape, and I know the opponent is going to try to provoke me. But I'm the pride of the Liaoning team and I'll fight for the team and try my best to get playing time. Zhou Qi also come back quickly, you make the game more competitive, I want to compete with the best players. The CBA taught us a lesson that the decision to kick Zhou Qi off the field was terrible. Now that it's been said, let's start, Liaoning team, let's start playing, there are no excuses".
In the series between the Liaoning team and the Shenzhen team, after Moreland was ejected from the court, he angrily slammed the court chair, which also violated the CBA rules, and the league fined Moreland 20,000 yuan, but there was no ban, and the Liaoning team was very lucky, because according to the standard of the CBA punishment of Weaver, even if Moreland was banned, there was nothing to say. Moreland is a big man in Liaoning, and he averaged 10.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in the regular season this season, and he played well on both offensive and defensive ends.
Zhou Qi of the Guangdong team was banned for 2 games for elbowing Li Jinxiao in the game with the Guangsha team, and was fined 100,000 yuan, in fact, the CBA also punished lightly, Huang Rongqi elbowed the opponent, was fined 150,000 yuan and banned for 3 games, it is no wonder that after Zhou Qi's fine was released, Huang Rongqi would post a series of letters on social media to express his dissatisfaction. Zhou Qi's behavior is relatively bad, and he has apologized to Li Jinxiao after the game, hoping to get the latter's understanding, I believe that this incident can also let Zhou Qi learn a lesson, he is already a veteran who has been fighting for many years, and he is still the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he should be more mature.
Moreland's hope for Zhou Qi's return as soon as possible is indeed surprising, after all, they are the biggest opponents, and whoever wins the semi-finals between Liaoning and Guangdong is likely to win the final championship. It is enough to see that Moreland is very competitive and wants to beat the best players. After Moreland joined the Liaoning men's basketball team, he made a great contribution to the team and helped win the championship, and if the Liaoning team completes three consecutive championships this year, it will become another dynasty team.
In addition to Zhou Qi, according to Zhu Fangyu, general manager of Guangdong, revealed in the live broadcast that Ren Junfei may not play, he was injured in the 1/4 finals and suffered a knee joint injury, and needs to rest for a few days, hoping to come back as soon as possible. Judging from the situation of the two teams, the Liaoning team has a better chance of getting off to a good start in the semifinals, with the full main lineup playing, and it is also a home game. The semi-finals are still 5 games and 3 wins, so whoever can win G1 will have a greatly increased probability of reaching the finals, and the coach of the Guangdong team, Du Feng, should have figured out a strategy to deal with it, and the semifinals of the two teams will start in 2 days.
