108-104, the Guangdong men's basketball team won a thrilling victory over the relatively weak Fujian men's basketball team in the 24th round of the regular season.
The two teams have a huge difference in record, and there is a significant gap in the lineup, but the Guangdong men's basketball team has not been able to occupy much advantage, and the two sides have always maintained a balance of power.
2 minutes and 55 seconds before the end of the game, the Fujian men's basketball team once surpassed the score. 42 seconds before the end of the game, the Fujian men's basketball team also had the opportunity to overtake again. To win the game, the Guangdong men's basketball team relies on the play of frontline veteran Ren Junfei. In the 50 seconds before the end of the game, he won Huang Yichao's foul of physical fouls, 1 of 2 free throws, helping the team stabilize the situation. 11 seconds before the end of the game, in the case of Xu Jie and Yi Jianlian's consecutive shots, it was Ren Junfei who made up the basket to help the team lead by 4 points.
Throughout the game, Ren Junfei played a total of 47 minutes and 53 seconds, contributing a quasi-triple-double of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. In other words, Ren Junfei only rested for just 7 seconds in this game, which set a new high for Ren Junfei's single-game appearance time.
These data are enough to prove the value of Ren Junfei in this team. Of course, in addition to data, Ren Junfei's value may be even greater. Du Feng dared to let Yi Jianlian rest, dared to let Du Feng rest, but did not dare to let Ren Junfei rest.
Such a status quo actually exposes the biggest shortcoming of the Guangdong men's basketball team at this stage, that is, there is indeed no available substitute for the fourth position. In this game, the Guangdong men's basketball team only sent a total of 10 people to rotate the lineup, of which Zeng Fanri only played for 48 seconds. Among the remaining 9 people, only Ren Junfei and Zhou Peng can appear in the front position, and Wang Xingkai and Liu Quanbiao can barely replace Zhou Peng in the third position in some rounds, but only Ren Junfei is in the fourth position.
Why is this happening? Injuries are part of the reason, at the beginning of the season, Du Feng focused on cultivating young player Zhang Haojia, and in some games Zhang Haojia played well, but Zhang Haojia unexpectedly suffered an injury. In addition, some players have made slow progress, and Du Runwang, who has been pinning high hopes on before, has performed sluggishly this season, and his shooting efficiency has not improved significantly compared with before, and the performance on the defensive end is even worse than before.
In the previous game, because of the existence of Weems, Zhou Peng could appear in the fourth position for some time, and this problem has not been exposed. But now that Weems can't play in the game, the Guangdong men's basketball team is very embarrassed. In the future, they will have to play 4 more games without Weems, and Du Feng must also find a way to solve this problem.
