Original title: Shougang men’s basketball team’s winning streak ends
beijing nightNews (Reporter Chen Jiakun) In the 25th round of the CBA regular season last night, the Beijing Shougang team lost to the defending champion Liaoning team 74 to 82, and the team’s winning streak since the beginning of 2023 has ended.
Shougang’s team has been suffering from injuries recently and has not been able to field a full and strong lineup. With a muscle strain in his leg, foreign aid Gibson was sidelined for the third straight game. Main defender Tian Yuxiang and inside player Qiu Tian were unable to play, and Yang Ali and Zhang Zhuo entered the team roster. Fan Ziming was also troubled with dizziness and insomnia, unable to achieve better state than he was.
The Beijing-Liaoning teams have met twice this season and both teams have won one game each. In this campaign, Johnson and Zhu Yanxi rarely made the starting lineup and took the lead in scoring for Shougang’s team. High intensity, high confrontation, low score: the two teams continued the momentum of the previous confrontation. Shougang’s team fell behind 15 to 18 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Zhang Cairen was injured, and players from both sides sent consecutive blocks. The game scene was very hot. At the end of the first half, the Liaoning team led 44-39.
In the second half, the Shougang captain, who had a small lead, was chasing the points for a long time. The team’s lineup was not complete and the opponent was strong. Shougang’s team eventually lost by 8 points. Zeng Fanbo had 19 points and 7 rebounds, leading the team in scoring. Leaf had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Looking at Shougang’s team’s recent performance, although they won 4 games in a row before, they stumbled every time and exposed many problems. Therefore, it is common for this game to lose to the mighty Liaoning team with an irregular lineup. Head coach Xie Libin said after the game that the team has some injuries and hopes the players can let go of their burdens and relax to fight for the next game. This Friday, the Shougang team will play against the Jilin team.
