Since the promotion from the youth team to the first team in the 17-18 season, Xu Jie, who is only 1 meter 78 tall, has also opened the CBA road. Although the height disadvantage is obvious, but Guangdong coach Du Feng still has high expectations for this guy, in the case of Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan, the two new stars have gradually emerged, Xu Jie also got 12.2 minutes of playing time in the rookie season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 42%. Unlike other young players who came up with a brain mistake and a wave of throws, Xu Jie has a calm that is extremely inconsistent with his rookie status. And even more fortunately, Xu Jie was lucky enough to follow Guangdong to win the first championship of his career in his first season, and in the playoff journey, he still had a good performance.
Since Guangdong uses Weems and Maxampbrooks in terms of foreign aid, under these two strong foreign aides, Xu Jie is also trying to learn the playing style of foreign aides, especially around the "rhythm master" Ma Shang, Xu Jie has also practiced a skillful retreat jumper, and often uses this skill in the actual combat process, after two seasons, Xu Jie continued to be entrusted by Du Feng, especially in the last season, he has become the absolute main rotation of Guangdong's backcourt, Playing time soared to 21.5 minutes, the average of 7.5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists per game also set a record since joining the CBA, unlike the previous two championships The participation is not too high, last season Guangdong was able to win three consecutive championships, absolutely inseparable from Xu Jie, after Ma Shang's reimbursement, in addition to Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui broke out one after another, Xu Jie also stepped forward at that time, In the playoffs, it not only continued to maintain a 7.5 points that was almost the same as the regular season, but also actively scrambled for rebounds in the front court, but also saved Guangdong from water and fire again and again.
After the end of the season, Xu Jie was also recruited by Du Feng to the national team, put on the national team shirt for the first time, followed the Chinese men's basketball team to the Asian Preliminary Round and the Olympic Games, and was able to pass with these masters, but also let Xu Jie return to the CBA this season, in terms of self-confidence has been greatly improved, because the first stage of Guangdong's double foreign aid has not returned, domestic players must also make more contributions, after the experience of the first three seasons, Xu Jie also ushered in the peak of his career this season. In the opening match with Shenzhen's "Guangdong Derby", Xu Jie scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and then scored in double figures in 6 consecutive games.
And in the recent guangdong and Tianjin game, veteran Zhou Peng rotated, the starting Hu Mingxuan offensive state is not outstanding, Du Feng also intends to let Xu Jie show his due skills in this game, the whole game, Xu Jie fought for 29 minutes, 12 shots 10, three-pointers 6 of 4 to get the team's highest 26 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, +26 plus or minus is the highest in the team. In this game, he once again showed people the sign retreat jumper he stole from Marshon. It is worth mentioning that the commentator of this game is the head coach Liu Tie, who coached Tianjin last season, and during the game, he has always praised this potential defender: "On the surface, Xu Jie is well-behaved and Sven, in fact, after stepping on the court, he plays like a head wolf, and his skills are very comprehensive, really like a wolf in sheep's clothing." ”
As Director Liu Tie said, on the surface, Sven Xu Jie, the reason why xu jie has such a high achievement in the CBA in recent years, is precisely by virtue of the aggressiveness he has shown on the court, in last year's guangdong and Tongxi games, Xu Jie and the other side's number one killer Joseph Yang bar, in the Yang sentence "You come to defend me? After the stimulation, Xu Jie also responded strongly to the opponent with continuous three-point shots and suffocating defense, and even sprayed garbage words at him in the subsequent confrontation: "I prevent you from doing anything." "As a defender of less than 1 meter 8, who can dare to compete with top foreign aides like Yang, Xu Jie does have the attributes of a wolf.
As the current Guangdong men's basketball team scorer (15.4 points to pressure Zhou Peng 15.3 points), Xu Jie can also be regarded as a full return to Du Feng's full trust, perhaps after the return of the double, Xu Jie's playing time and shooting opportunities will be compressed by a certain amount of time, but can take the lead in improving his self-confidence, for his subsequent handling of the ball, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless.
