As the first brother of China men's basketball team, Yi Jianlian has been transformed into a "30-year-old man", but he still maintains an excellent competitive state, leading the Guangdong team to achieve 44 wins and 2 losses in the regular season this season. What's even more amazing is that Yi Jianlian started "fitness" many times in the semi-finals, and Du Feng had a direct rest in many games, but he still narrowly beat qi zhou by 1 minute, which is the fifth time that Yi Jianlian has won such an honor in his career.
However, when Guangdong made a direct bye in the first round of the playoffs, the second round faced Qingdao, the "host". Although Guangdong won a great victory, Yi Jianlian accidentally pulled his thigh in the fourth quarter, which undoubtedly added great hidden dangers to Guangdong's defending tour. In the first two semi-finals, Guangdong did not send Yi Jianlian to play, and naturally hoped to protect Yi Jianlian. In the first semi-final behind 19 points, Guangdong made a thrilling comeback. Such a victory also gave Guangdong confidence and allowed Yi Jianlian to continue to recuperate in the second game.
Only Guangdong narrowly beat Beijing by four points in the second semi-final, resulting in the total score of the first two games 1- 1. Because this year's playoff schedule has shrunk, the first two rounds are single elimination, while the semi-final and final are both two wins in three sets, so the third semi-final is also an absolute life-and-death battle. In such a crucial battle, Yi Jianlian also ushered in the battle of comeback. After all, Guangdong has reached a position where there is no retreat. They must work hard to win such a game in order to reach the finals and continue to attack the title of team history 10.
In such a crucial battle, Yi Jianlian made extraordinary efforts on the court, scored his first point with a free throw, and helped Guangdong gradually take the lead with his offensive and defensive performance. With Yi Jianlian putting a big hat on the defensive end, the number of blocked shots in his playoff career increased to 142, which officially tied the record held by Yao Ming and tied for the first place in CBA history, which also showed Yi Jianlian's historical position in CBA.
