Guangdong Hongyuan's second stage started unfavorably, after consecutive losses to Guangsha and Shanxi, the team's record declined all the way, and the outside world's view of Hongyuan was generally bearish. This game against Jilin can not be lost, in the first half of the opponent relying on Jiang Weize to hit a difficult three-pointer in a row, the UAE League led the team to withstand the pressure, and finally in the last quarter Hongyuan ushered in an outbreak, a wave of flow to take away the game, and finally won the opponent by 17 points to win the first victory in the second stage.
Du Feng's coaching is undoubtedly under great pressure, as the champion coach and national team coach, the team under his coach has suffered two consecutive defeats will be over-interpreted by the outside world. After the victory over Jilin in this game, Du Dao can finally breathe a sigh of relief, he said after the game, it is not easy to win this game, everyone did a good job in defense, rebounding is more concerned than the previous two games, and the attack is more fluent.
Finally found Zhou Peng as a substitute
In this game, Du Feng's guidance continued to let Liu Quanbiao enter the rotation lineup, on the contrary, Wang Jiankai did not enter the 12-man roster, which is a very big adjustment made by Du Dao. Judging from the performance of the ball bully in these two games, although he has not yet found a feeling for the outside three points, and the tacit understanding between him and his teammates is not enough, his breakthrough attack frame, the enthusiasm on the field and the hard work on the defensive end are enough for Du Dao to give him a chance to play.
On the other hand, although Wang Salarykai still has a 43% three-point shooting rate this season, his defense is completely colander-like on the court. Hitting a three-pointer himself may miss two three-pointers on the defensive end, which is completely "killing eight hundred enemies and losing a thousand"; when he can't shoot three points, he himself is even more negative. Moreover, now that his body shape is more rounded, there is no trace of training at all, and if he does not make changes, I am afraid that he will really fall out of the rotation.
At present, Liu Quanbiao is more worthy of the third place than Wang Zhikai, on the one hand, Liu Quanbiao can quickly find the rhythm of the game and the state of the game after returning from injury, and quickly integrate into the team; on the other hand, Liu Quanbiao's attitude is more worthy of team training, coupled with the relative balance between his offensive and defensive ends, it is expected to become Zhou Peng's successor.
Two key pieces of information were revealed after the League
The UAE League slashed 25 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks in this game, and it was a thigh-like presence at both ends of the attack and defense. After the game, the UAE League revealed two key messages, namely:
The team's current form is far worse than the team's goal. Hongyuan's goal this season is naturally to win four consecutive championships, but from the words of the UAE League, it can be found that there is still a certain gap between the current state or strength of Guangdong Hongyuan and the championship, on the one hand, its own strength problem, the season has not shown strong dominance so far; on the other hand, the opponent's strength is steadily rising. Therefore, Hongyuan should not only return to the right track as soon as possible, but also enhance its own strength through reinforcement.
The UAE's body is still recovering, indicating that the state has not yet reached its best. In the second stage, the UAE's body is lighter than the first stage, the movement speed is also faster, and the UAE league itself said that the body is still recovering, which means that there is still some room for improvement in the state of the UAE, which is a good thing for Hongyuan, which means that the UAE will be more terrifying at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends after the UAE league returns to its best state in the future.
We look forward to the UAE's return to its best, and we believe that Hongyuan can get back on track as soon as possible and come up with the posture of defending champions.
