On December 26, the Guangdong men's basketball team ushered in the first game of the second stage, and the opponent was the equally strong Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team. This game can be described as a twist and turn, the opening Guangdong men's basketball team has been out of state, was played by Guangsha a wave of 17-2 start. After that, the Guangdong men's basketball team struggled to chase points, and did not chase the point difference to 2 points until the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, the Guangdong men's basketball team failed to seize the opportunity to reverse the score, and finally lost to Zhejiang Guangsha 86-98.
In this game, the most stable and outstanding performance in the Guangdong men's basketball team is undoubtedly the foreign aid Weems who has just returned. Throughout the game, Weems played 25 minutes, shooting 8-of-14 from the field and 3-of-5 from three-point range, scoring 23 points, 4 boards and 6 assists. Every time the Guangdong men's basketball team fell into a scoring drought, it was almost all Weems who stood up. At the critical moment of chasing points in the fourth quarter, Weems scored 4 consecutive points to help the Guangdong men's basketball team chase the point difference to a 2-point difference. It can be said that without Weems, this game would have lost suspense long ago.
After not playing for half a year, Weems is still the Same Weems that Guangdong men's basketball fans are familiar with. Almost without any running-in, Weems can once again integrate into the system of the Guangdong men's basketball team. Judging from the performance in the game, Weems still maintained enough training during this time. A 35-year-old veteran, playing such a performance, his self-discipline and dedication are worth learning from many domestic players. Previously, some fans worried that Weems was one year older, and his state and physical strength would decline again. Now it seems that there is really no need to worry too much, Weems is still the most suitable foreign aid for the Guangdong men's basketball team. Of course, if there is a suitable candidate, Guangdong still has to sign one more foreign aid, so that Weems has more rest time, and at present, Weems's only weakness is physical fitness.
Although the Guangdong men's basketball team lost this game, Weems' performance was beyond reproach, and the loss was more because the Guangdong players were too slow to enter the state. It is somewhat regrettable that we were not able to welcome Weems back with a victory. But I believe that such a defeat will also allow the Guangdong team to wake up as soon as possible and enter the state faster. Come on, Guangdong men's basketball team!
