The second phase of the CBA continues, and in the first two rounds of the second stage, perhaps the most surprising thing is that the defending champion Guangdong suffered two consecutive defeats, they lost 12 points to Guangsha in the first game, and the most recent game was lost to Shanxi and lost to the opponent by 26 points! The two games lost as many as 38 points, which is really unimaginable for the Guangdong team. You must know that the last time the Guangdong team suffered two consecutive defeats, it goes back to the 2017-2018 season, when they first lost to Guangsha, then lost to Jiangsu, this two consecutive defeats, but also the first time in the past four years to encounter such a situation!
It can be said that the Guangdong team in the second stage did not show enough dominance, so what is the reason for the recent downturn of this championship division? The first is the personnel problem, the recent Guangdong team suffered from a wave of personnel injuries, Zhang Haojia could not play because of the fifth bone fracture of the foot, and Zhang Hao could not play because of a serious foot, these two young people are important rotation players of the team this season. In addition, Zhao Rui and Ren Junfei were not able to appear in this game, which led to the team's exposure to the personnel problem very seriously!
The second is the problem of the team on the front line, the original Guangdong team's front line is their advantage, Zhou Peng and Ren Junfei two experienced players can ensure the lower limit of the team's front, and weems's outbreak is able to determine the upper limit of the team, coupled with zhang Haojia and Zhang Hao such young players to do some blue-collar work, the overall frontal strength of the team is still unquestionable. But recently the team is missing Zhang Haojia, Zhang Hao and Ren Junfei, the team only has Weems and Zhou Peng on the front line, Weems has just returned to the team, the state is not particularly outstanding, these two games only averaged 17 points per game, the team only relies on the old captain Zhou Peng is really too difficult!
The last point is that the team currently has no one who can stand up stably to help the team through difficulties, the previous generations of champions Guangdong team has Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and other players can help the team stably, and later the peak of the UAE League can also help the team to ensure the lower limit. But now the uae's form is not very stable, the team's young players have not stepped forward to carry the team forward, which is one of the reasons why the team has performed worse in these two games!
These problems can actually be solved, the team needs a transition period, through this fatigue period of the national team window period, let the injured players recuperate, and when the Guangdong team lineup is in order, they are still one of the strongest teams this season!
