Tactical Mastery: How Strategic Adjustments Cemented Sichuan’s Lead

Sichuan demonstrated exceptional strategic acumen during this crucial matchup by employing aggressive full-court pressure combined with rapid transition offense. This approach overwhelmed Dongguan early on — reflected by an impressive first-half shooting accuracy exceeding60%. The use of off-ball screens effectively dismantled defensive rotations allowing open shots which were capitalized upon consistently.

The coaching staff meticulously analyzed opponent tendencies pre-game then adapted dynamically at halftime — emphasizing sustained ball pressure while rotating defenders efficiently to deny easy baskets inside paint areas. These adjustments curtailed key threats posed by Dongguan while maximizing scoring opportunities for themselves.
