Guangdong has recently been on the cusp of the storm, with two championship-winning favourites Liaoning and Guangsha ending in defeat, and some of the episodes on the field, including player injuries and conflicts, have been carefully studied with a magnifying glass. Outside the storm, there is only one person who is growing firmly and rapidly, and this person is Xu Jie.
With 13 points in a single quarter and 8 three-pointers in the whole game, Xu Jie created a career milestone
In this face of Guangsha, Weems, Zhao Rui, Zhou Peng and many core players are absent, and Guangdong has already lost on paper strength. In the first half, Xu Jie fought with the veterans of the UAE League and Erfei, with some sad emotions, because they looked a little embarrassed when they faced the impact of the young people of Guangsha Sanshao. In the first half, he trailed by 21 points, and Xu Jie personally scored 9 points.
In the second half, Du Feng saw that there was no possibility of victory in this war, so he let go of the young people, and all the young generals sent were young generals, and Xu Jie naturally became the main backbone of this youth army. Then he conquered everyone with his strength, especially in the fourth quarter, he scored 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting in a single quarter, and hit all three shots from outside the three-point line to help the team continuously narrow the point gap. Even if it can't change the outcome of the game, his spirit of struggle is admirable.
In the end, Xu Mingzhan played the longest 35 minutes of the whole team, scoring a game-high 30 points and 8 assists on 11 of 19, and 7 of 9 outside the three-point line. Both 30 points and seven three-pointers set a new career high for Xu Jie. In this slightly decadent battle in Guangdong, Xu Jie became the only bright spot, and it was shining enough.
With a small body and a big pattern, Xu Jie conquered the entire audience, and even Wang Bo was full of praise
Not only this game, Xu Jie's performance in the last game was also very good, scoring 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 38 minutes. With a combined 52 points and 13 three-pointers in both games, Xu Jie became the most important player on the team's outside line. Especially compared with the sluggish performance of MVP Hu Mingxuan this season last season, Xu Jie's progress is more important.
After the game, even the opposing head coach Wang Bo praised Xu Jie. He said that the young players in the team can not just shout slogans, but also learn from Xu Jie, and he is the least dominant person on the field, but he proves himself through hard work.
When the game was over with 2 minutes left, Du Feng replaced Xu Jie. When walking back to the bench, the audience applauded and cheered for Xu Jie, and the big brothers also gave Xu Jie encouragement and praise in the form of high-fives. His performance today also deserves these compliments.
Out of the "mud" without staining, young people who focus on playing are loved
Xu Jie has been known for his calm and big heart since his debut, and the truth is the same, four years after his debut, Xu Jie has grown step by step, and there are basically no negative events. In these two games when multiple players clashed, Xu Jie did not get involved in the impulse of the mind, but helped to calm the situation. When Han Dejun and Weems fought together, his small body stood between the two sides to avoid any more conflict; when Sun Minghui was put on his feet by Zeng Fanri and rushed up to beat people, it was also Xu Jie who held Sun Minghui to death and let the latter calm down.
All kinds of details are looked at by fans, which also makes the outside world evaluate him better, and some fans even comment that Xu Jie is out of the "mud" and not stained. It is somewhat exaggerated, but it may be that several Guangdong players have made inappropriate moves on the field recently, resulting in a poor wind evaluation of the team. But no matter what, Xu Jie is always calm, focused on playing and proving himself with his performance on the field.
