The second phase of the 21-22 CBA regular season will officially start on December 25, Guangdong Hongyuan was divided into Shenyang Division, this stage of the schedule is relatively relaxed, the defending champions do not meet many strong teams, only two against the Liaoning men's basketball team is a hard battle.
In the first stage, the Guangdong men's basketball team in the back line exposed flaws, Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie three major defenders are difficult to cope with the dense schedule, in the second stage of the defending champions will also face such a problem, but the super foreign aid Weems can make a cameo point guard after the return, the shortage of defender line personnel has been alleviated to a certain extent, but in the long run, the training of the fourth defender has become Du Feng's top priority.
But what bothers Du Feng is that Guangdong Hongyuan's training of a fourth defender this season is almost close to failure. At present, the personnel reserve of the 11 champions in the defensive line is Zhao Jinyang and Malik, two second-year players, but from the performance of the first stage of this season, these two have lost their cultivation value.
In the first stage, Zhao Jinyang got 6 appearances, averaging 9.6 minutes per game, 2 points and 2.5 rebounds, but made as many as 3 mistakes; Malik also got 6 appearances, averaging 10 minutes per game, but only 0.8 points, plus 2.7 rebounds and 0.2 assists. Although the two young players have played the CBA for more than a season, they still do not show the temperament of the game on the court, there are not many bright spots at both ends of the attack and defense, the training value is not high, and Du Feng is very dissatisfied.
How to solve the problem of the depth of the bench of the defensive line, Du Feng can only hope that the god pitcher Wang Salary Kai can tap his potential and have a more all-round performance.
As a character pitcher, Wang's main task is to shoot empty three-pointers, and in the first stage, he averaged 5.9 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, including 44% of three-point shooting and 1.5 three-pointers per game.
Wang Rarely plays in the No. 1 position, and possession and big-picture views have always been his shortcomings, although his defensive ability has been greatly improved. Recently, what Wang Hastily needs to improve urgently is the organizational ability in case of emergency. Especially in the playoffs and other tough battles, Du Feng is impossible to use Zhao Jinyang and Malik, in case of injuries in the "black and white short" backcourt combination, Wang Shaokai will be in danger.
