Then after the start of this year, it can be said that the Guangdong men's basketball team is different from the past, and it has encountered a lot of trouble in the early days of the opening, and for a defending champion, such a situation is indeed very rare. After losing to Zhejiang and Shougang in the first stage, the competitiveness of the Guangdong team could not be maintained, and the team's recent problems were also very prominent.
Even in the last game against Tianjin, the Guangdong men's basketball team also stumbled and won 12 points against the opponent before it was almost won. So the team's performance is very worrying. After all, in the new season, Guangdong has not yet reached the point where it will be rotten after winning the championship, and the team's entire system of play is still the first-class level of the league, or it wants to continue to defend the title, achieve a breakthrough of four consecutive championships, and create a new super dynasty of the CBA. Through the recent games of the Guangdong team, the biggest problem of the Guangdong men's basketball team is undoubtedly that the team's system is not running smoothly, and the team basketball has been greatly impacted. Then there are actually two reasons for this, the first of which is what everyone said, after the return of Yi Jianlian, the big brother of the Guangdong men's basketball team, due to his appearance, the speed and bounce after personal injury were not as good as before, resulting in the slow speed of the team and dragging down the team rhythm. This point is also more obvious in the game, which is an undeniable thing for Guangdong fans. So in addition to this reason, in fact, more important is the three-guard state of the Guangdong men's basketball team, which has recently fluctuated a lot. In particular, Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan, who have performed generally in recent matches, their personal impact and vitality are not online, and they have lost their previous spirit on the field of competition, and they seem to be a little sluggish. Once the firepower of the Guangdong defenders is insufficient, the team naturally cannot maintain the system of playing fast and cannot support the high-intensity playing style.
So among them, it is particularly worth mentioning is Hu Mingxuan. In the last two games, as the core of the Guangdong men's basketball team has been focusing on building, Hu Mingxuan has been completely inaccurate outside the three-point line for two consecutive games, and only scored one goal in five three-point shots in two games, which is indeed not as strong as before, it can be said that he was very frustrated on the field and did not have the vitality after the opening of the game. And on the sidelines, we all know that after the start of this year's game, Hu Mingxuan's signing incident had a great impact on him, and many fans also denounced Hu Mingxuan for this. After Zhou Qi signed Li Ning the day before yesterday, Hu Mingxuan became the opposite object again, and was scorned by many fans. So now Hu Mingxuan is really not in the state, and these things inside and outside the field have affected his play.
And in the case of Hu Mingxuan's double frustration, in fact, there is a bigger trouble for him personally. That is the competition within the team and the attitude of head coach Du Feng. Then after Hu Mingxuan's state is not there, we see that Du Feng has recently made very important adjustments, compressing Hu Mingxuan's playing time and ball rights, giving another defender Xu Jie a lot of performance opportunities. And after being appointed, Xu Jie's ability to handle the ball and score points is no worse than Hu Mingxuan, and in the last game against Tianjin, Xu Jie scored 26 points in the whole game, becoming the most critical player for the team to win. It can be said that Xu Jie is now the number one sign on the Guangdong defender line. And so far, Xu Jie's average score per game is the highest in the Guangdong team, and the playing time is also the most, which shows that Du Feng has been tilting towards Xu Jie, and now has the idea of focusing on building him. Then once Xu Jie maintains such a play, it is the biggest challenge for Hu Mingxuan. To put it simply, in the future, Hu Mingxuan's ball rights will be directly reduced, development will be hindered, and more importantly, this time affected by the field and beyond, the status of his national team in the future may be greatly shaken, losing the full strength of the previous unlimited fire. In the current situation where the competition in the men's basketball defender line is very fierce, there is really not much time left for Hu Mingxuan.
