Due to the conflict between Liaoyue and Han Dejun, Guangdong foreign aid Weems was fined an additional 140,000 yuan by the league, plus 4 games of suspension, which led to Weems can not play in the next few games, for which Guangdong coach Du Feng made a temporary decision, let Weems leave the Changchun division, rushed to Shanghai and another foreign aid Riche-Ledo for joint training, the purpose is very clear, is to let Rich ledo as soon as possible into the Guangdong system. Du Feng has made a similar move before, letting Zhao Jinyang, Malik and Tang Jie team up in Shanghai to train with Richie Ledo, so that the new foreign aid can familiarize himself with the team system as soon as possible.
At present, Guangdong still has 5 games left in the second stage, Weems has 3 more suspension games, that is, at most 2 regular season games, the remaining 5 opponents, only the final round of the second stage against Shanghai is a hard battle. It is expected that Du Feng will directly let Weems train with Riche-Ledo in Shanghai, and completely lay a good foundation for the Guangdong team in the late season.
For the second half of the season in advance layout, this is Du Feng's intention to let Weems temporarily leave the team this time, the past three years Guangdong team to achieve a three-consecutive crown to reproduce the dynasty, but also covered up some of the original problems, The existence of Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng and Ren Junfei to keep this Guangdong team competitive, but the lack of thickness of the team's mesozoic personnel is a long-term problem of the Guangdong team, in addition to these 3 veterans, the remaining core main players are 25-year-old Zhao Rui, 23-year-old Hu Mingxuan and 22-year-old Xu Jie, Zhao Rui has even been absent in the past period of time, Du Feng could only let the young Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan carry the banner, which led to the Guangdong team playing unstable and losing consecutively. Even if Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan are already national players, there is still a long way to go from the top players in the domestic basketball world, and they cannot bear the heavy responsibility of leading the Guangdong team forward for the time being.
It can be expected that the Guangdong team wants to continue to play a role this season, relying on veterans and foreign aid is still the first choice, from the beginning of The Achilles tendon rupture of Ma Shang last season, the trump card in Du Feng's hand has been insufficient, the core player state has been unstable for a long time, Yi Jianlian can still play after returning from a major injury, but it is not the peak level of the past, Zhou Peng and Ren Junfei league plus national team rotation, once there were physical problems, began to show fatigue. Under the influence of a number of factors, the current competitiveness of the Guangdong team has declined, and the ranking of the standings has directly slipped to 5th.
After the 20-point defeat to Guangsha, Du Feng stressed that Guangdong's goal this season is to enter the playoffs, a remark he had said after the first game against Liaoning. The purpose of these words is to reduce the expectations of the outside world for the Guangdong team, but also to release the pressure on the team, the veteran is tired, the young players have not yet reached the time to carry the banner, Du Feng knows that if he wants to win, he must keep a low profile, spend energy on making the lineup complete as soon as possible, let the new foreign aid Riche Ledo integrate as soon as possible is a key, so let the suspended Wims temporarily leave the team to train with Rich Ledo.
Du Feng's most reasonable pursuit at this stage is to quickly adjust the Guangdong team in the short term, strive to improve the ranking to the top four of the league in the regular season stage, use the second window period to allow players to rest, including Zhao Rui can return, and let Rich Ledo further integrate, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng and other veterans can recover better physical condition through rest. In this way, when the third stage and the playoffs, guangdong teams can regain the three backcourts of Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie, and foreign aides have Weems and Richie Ledo, and at the end of February, Ma Shang also has a chance to return, and the guangdong team with a complete lineup and health can strive for strength in the playoffs.
Whether it is the CBA league or the world basketball world, which professional team wants to complete 4 consecutive championships is difficult, and Du Feng, who has experienced hundreds of battles, knows this very well, so that the expectations of the outside world are reduced, let the players lower their posture, try to form the best lineup, Du Feng is laying out the final impact!
