On January 6, Beijing time, Guangdong won the second game of the season against Shanxi, and in the last quarter, a wave of 25-2 directly took away the game victory, the score was 111-96, successful revenge, and ended Shanxi's 7 consecutive wins. After the game, Guangdong coach Du Feng did not praise the performance of the players, but criticized the shortcomings of some players, directly evaluating that some players within the team had not improved for several seasons, lying on winning three championships, and the comments were very sharp.
Du Feng mainly said in criticizing the players: "I think some players have not improved their ability on the defensive end after several seasons. The team won three championships, and it was all about working together. You can't think of yourself as the best player in the league because some players are lying champions and therefore receive attention and love from fans, which I think is still a big gap. ”
Du Feng then added: "Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie are still far from the best height, or they still have to study hard, not to mention other young players. ”
Obviously, Du Feng is very dissatisfied with the play of some players in the team, especially on the defensive end, far from meeting his own requirements, which is already an outspoken criticism. Judging from the content of Du Feng's comments, it is not difficult to see that the players he pointed out are Wang Xiankai and Zeng Fanri.
In the past three seasons, guangdong team has won three consecutive championships, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie have rapidly improved to become national players during this period, Zhao Rui has been regarded as a local core since playing in Guangdong, Du Runwang has also been selected for the national training team, plus several veterans Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Ren Junfei and Su Wei, and the remaining players involved in the Guangdong triple championship cause are only Wang Jiankai and Zeng Fanri.
In this game against Shanxi, Zeng Fanri made a brief appearance of 5 minutes, did not shoot, and scored 1 point on 1 of 2 free throws, and 2 fouls, which was dismal. Wang Salarykai is in a more difficult situation, directly fell out of the big list, 1 second playing time did not catch, counting this game, Wang Salarykai has not entered the big list in 3 of the last 4 games, and the game against Liaoning has only played for 4 minutes. It can be said that Zeng Fanri and Wang Jiankai are already on the fringes of the team, and they did not play an excellent performance at the right time, resulting in the two gradually falling out of the Guangdong team rotation lineup.
Judging from the performance of the whole season, Zeng Fan averaged 3.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, both of which were down compared to last season, while the shooting rate fell to 48%, which was a decline of as much as 16%. On the other hand, Wang Salarykai is even worse, averaging 4.9 points per game, and if you put aside the 19 points and 11 points against the two weak teams Jiangsu and Tianjin, Wang Salarykai's average score per game is only 3.3 points.
In the offseason of 2021, Zhu Fangyu used two contracts to renew Zeng Fanri and Wang Salary Kai, of which Wang Salary Kai's contract was only 1 year, which means that at the end of this season, Wang Salary Kai will become a free man again, if the performance continues to be sluggish, I believe that it is only a matter of time to leave Guangdong. And the situation of Zeng Fanri is not much better, Du Feng's key training of young interior lines Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin have begun to gradually get the opportunity to play, the state of the UAE League has gradually recovered, Guangdong inner line has no place to belong to Zeng Fanri.
Competitive sports speak with strength, Wang Xingkai and Zeng Fanri at the beginning of the season are many games to prove themselves, when the Guangdong all-Chinese class, and Yi Jianlian just returned to many games of rotation, but they did not seize the opportunity to perform, and eventually gradually lost the trust of the coach.
