On March 28th, 20 18, the semi-finals of CBA playoff in 20 17- 18 season will be played first between Guangsha team and Shandong team. As two teams that have been away from the semi-finals for many years, both want to pass each other to enter the finals. Among them, fortson and Ding Yanyuhang, two regular season MVPs, are bound to have a fierce confrontation.
Although Ding Yanyuhang and fortson play small forward, the other side is the point guard, but they will not directly fight on the court. But as the leaders of the two teams, no one can replace anyone, especially when the game is deadlocked, the play of Ding and fortson will determine the direction of the game.
Fortson averaged 3 1.3 points and sent out the highest 12 assists in the league. His cooperation with Hu has become a very important offensive tactic of Guangsha team. Fortson on the defensive end also spared no effort, averaging 2.7 steals per game, tied with Adams for the first place in the league, and the "Braid Brother" who is only 1.8 meters tall can also grab 7.8 rebounds per game. So fortson is the key to the transformation of Guangsha. He helped the team not to go up and down as in the previous two seasons. Guangsha team successfully won the first regular-season championship in the team's history, and fortson also won the foreign aid MVP.
But fortson's bad temper put Guangsha in danger in the playoffs. In the first game of the playoffs, fortson was suspended for one game because he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, which completely offset his contribution to helping Guangsha survive the risk at the last moment of the game. In the fourth game, fortson became more and more impatient with the double team, and his repeated moves were unreasonable. 0-for-9 3-pointers, and Li Chunjiang directly pressed on the bench at the last moment. Although Guangsha advanced in the deciding game, fortson deliberately tripped Shen Zijie at the last moment of the game, which caused a heated discussion. Even if he was not banned in the end, he still surprised Guangsha into a cold sweat.
Therefore, although the individual ability is super strong, fortson also has a fatal weakness. If you can't control your temper, you may put the team at a disadvantage. Lawson's personal ability in Shandong team is much stronger than that of Les in Shenzhen. Fortson is no longer so easy to deal with. Sui Ran's personal defense ability is super strong, which will cause enough trouble for fortson.
Xiaoding is steady and brave in taking responsibility.
Ding Yan Yuhang not only continued his excellent performance last season, but also became more and more comprehensive after his experience in the NBA Summer League, and dared to shoot at the crucial moment. In the first game of the regular season, Shanxi Ding Yanyuhang sent a key block and scored 42 points. In the third round, Shandong challenged Wukesong away, and Ding Yanyuhang made a free throw to kill the Beijing team. In the fourth round of the league, Ding Yanyuhang scored another 45 points in the match with Fujian. In addition, Ding Yanyuhang also grabbed a season-high 14 rebound in the home game with Zhejiang team.
In the 35 regular-season games played for Shandong team this season, Ding Yanyuhang 10 scored 30+ and scored more than 40 points in 4 games. Such horrible scoring ability is very rare among local players. In the regular season, he averaged 25.7 points per game, ranking first among all local players and won the honor of MVP in the regular season.
After the incident of no return, Lawson's Jiangsu team didn't perform well in the first game of the playoffs, with only 12 points, but Ding Yanyuhang played a leading role, scoring 33 points in a row at the crucial moment and leading Shandong team to pass 4 points. In the next two games, Ding Yanyuhang scored 2 1 point, 9 assists, 7 steals, 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals respectively, helping Shandong to sweep Jiangsu 3-0 to advance to the semi-finals. Shandong is also the only team in the four groups.
Shandong played Guangsha in the regular season, and the two teams won at home respectively. Fortson scored 55 points, 7 rebounds 15 assists and 2 1 8 rebounds 10 assists respectively. Ding Yan Yuhang's data is 35 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 29 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. It can be seen that both of them are dominant in a game, which can be described as equal. Therefore, although Ding Yanyuhang and fortson have strong scoring ability, how to create opportunities for teammates by using attractive double-teaming is the key to a more targeted playoff victory or defeat.
In short, the drama is about to be staged, and the two MVPs will watch the last laugh.
