On January 25, Beijing time, the Guangzhou men's basketball team ushered in the challenge of the Shanxi men's basketball team, this battle Guangzhou Xiaowai Mason continued to be absent due to injury, and Lif, as the team's only foreign aid, continued to start the game. Grasping Shanxi did not have the weakness of the big outside, Guangzhou also focused on the attack on the inside line, and laid a 14-point lead in the first quarter with 36-22. Although they were attacked by Shanxi's crazy counterattack later, fortunately, they still won a thrilling victory 111-105.
Chen Yingjun, who just played a god-level statistic (26 points and 22 assists) in the last game, continued his steady play, taking on the role of the team's "small foreign aid" in the case of Mason's inability to play, the whole game he started 45 minutes, 19 shots 9 of took 24 points, 9 rebounds and 17 assists of the quasi-triple-double, counting this game, this is Already Chen Yingjun 3 consecutive games assists to more than 15+.
After Guo Shiqiang entered Guangzhou last season, Chen Yingjun is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. The uncle, who has always been good at adjusting point guards, has also fully activated Chen Yingjun's organizational potential, but because of Moore, a small outsider who has absolute ball rights, Chen Yingjun has improved to the highest 7.5 times in the past 4 years in assists, but the average score per game is also the same as the previous season, only 13.5 points.
Originally, Guangzhou wanted to continue to keep Moore in the offseason, but because the CBA was not sure whether it would use foreign aid at that time, he also switched to the European League later, and Had to find a new foreign candidate for Guangzhou. Although the small foreign candidates in Guangzhou in recent years are not the kind of well-known, but the practicality is really nothing to say, this time they chose Mason, although compared to Moore's ability to attack the attack is slightly inferior, but good at organizing tandem teammates, his lack of offensive end, Guo Shiqiang also simply let Chen Yingjun make up for it.
Because Mason did not find offensive status at the beginning of the season, he played iron one after another, but chen Yingjun opened his own offensive mode, playing 20+10 in succession. In the case of the recent Mason suffered a tendon strain, Chen Yingjun also officially took the position and became the well-deserved core of Guangzhou's backcourt, in fact, Chen Yingjun has a certain offensive ability in the past few seasons, but it is limited by small foreign aid, which also makes him unable to play a stable 20+. But at present, this young Guangzhou, there is really a lack of such a backcourt core that can attack and pass, Chen Yingjun no longer spares his right to shoot, the offensive end is full of firepower, and the organization also actively helps the big foreign aid Liv to feed the cake, the two are one inside and one outside, guangzhou still maintains a certain competitiveness.
As of now, Chen Yingjun has improved his stats to a career-best 20.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 10.1 assists, guangzhou wants to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive year this season, Chen Yingjun's role, without exaggeration, is even more important than That of Mason. It is worth mentioning that this season's CBA All-Star Game will most likely be held in Foshan, and Chen Yingjun, who has a team record and personal data as a blessing, occupies the right time and place, and it is time to usher in the first all-star journey of his career this season. Even if Guangzhou can improve the ranking to the top six positions in the third stage, Chen Yingjun has a great chance to make herself among the nominations list of regular season MVP!
