In the twenty-seventh round of the CBA League, Guangzhou Dragon Lions defeated Shanxi Fenjiu 111-105 in a game of the strongest dark horse of the season, achieving a season double kill against the opponent, and Guangzhou Dragon Lions defender Chen Yingjun got 24 points, 17 assists and 9 rebounds in this game, and his number of assists in three consecutive games reached more than 17, which is also the only person in the league so far. Chen Yingjun's excellent performance has also aroused the discussion of fans about the strongest defender in the league at present.
From the order of division, Chen Yingjun is Guo Allen's disciple, both are from Guo Shiqiang's door, from the personal data point of view, this season Chen Yingjun in Guo Shiqiang's guidance under the careful cultivation, indeed amazing progress, Chen Yingjun this season played in the previous 27 rounds of all the games, the average playing time is as high as 39.5 minutes, ranking first in the league, can contribute 20.1 points per game, 10.1 assists of the double-double data, 10.1 assists ranked first among domestic players, the league third, second only to Gordon and Kefeld. These data are the new highs he has played in the CBA League for five years, Guo Shiqiang guided from Shangseck to guangzhou dragon lion, not only from a fish belly to a dark horse team this season, but also the team style is basketed, attacking and defending at both ends, the mental outlook is refreshing. And the 17-18 season draft leader Chen Yingjun has become a first-class defender in the league, which has made the practical value of the CBA draft to a higher level. Guangzhou Dragons and Lions have also become fertile ground for draft players, and Guo Kai, the previous draft winner of the 16-17 season, became the first person to pay the draft player. Chen Yingjun is already the absolute core and spiritual leader of the team, and his status is much higher than that of the team's foreign aid, which once again shows guo Shiqiang's ability to guide the cultivation of the domestic core. Especially for the training of defenders, from Guo Allen to Chen Yingjun. None of them are dragons among men.
Of course, when it comes to the domestic defender Tiantuan, we have to say that the domestic Asian first defender Guo Allen, the Asian first, no matter how it comes, at least in the 2021 Asian Cup qualifiers, the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, let the Japanese fans know that this is by no means empty. It's well deserved. However, for Guo Allen this season, the league is not a spring breeze, Guo Allen has only played 17 games in 27 rounds of regular season this season, what injuries, suspensions, and inexplicable reasons, anyway, it is an eventful autumn. Frequent absences from the game. He averaged 21.5 points and 6.7 assists per game in 29.2 minutes per game. The average score per game ranks thirteenth in the league, and domestic players rank second in the league, second only to Hu Jinqiu. The number of assists ranks eighteenth in the league, and the number of domestic players also ranks ninth. Honestly, this assist number is a bit low, and his identity is a bit unmatched, of course, for Guo Allen, everything is a floating cloud now, and his ultimate goal this season is to lead the team to the championship, which will be the only way for him to establish his status. This is far more important than losing the title of a big nephew.
As one of the three major defenders of the CBA, Sun Minghui, this season is also the most stable state of the three major defenders, but unfortunately recently a little bit can not find the north, are said to be close to the hometown timidity, Sun Minghui this time back to his hometown Jilin to play, the biggest feeling is that there is a problem with emotions, easy to get on, and the final result of the mutual fear between the fans of netizens is that the team has suffered defeats. The team's ranking also changed from second to third. Sun Minghui has played in 25 games this season, averaging 28.8 minutes per game, averaging 16.9 points per game, ranking 32nd in the league, with 8.3 assists per game, which can rank sixth in the league, and domestic players rank second in the league, second only to Chen Yingjun. For Sun Minghui, if he wants to block the mouth of the fans, he still has to work the field, how to defeat the Liaoning basket led by Guo Allen, and how to maintain the focus of a season are the challenges he has to face.
The worst luck this season is Zhao Rui in the three major defenders, for him this season is a bad year, Zhao Rui has only played 12 games this season, averaging 27.2 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points per game, this score is definitely not ranked, averaging 7.5 assists per game can rank 13th in the league, and domestic players rank fifth. Many fans, including non-Guangdong Hongyuan fans, are looking forward to Zhao Rui's return as soon as possible, in fact, for Zhao Rui, what kind of achievements can be played this season, the key is his opaque injury situation, Hongyuan officially gave is serious physical discomfort, this vague concept of injury and illness are unknown. On the other hand, Zhao Rui's return also has an obstacle to face, that is, what kind of positioning will coach Du Feng give him, unlike Chen Yingjun, Guo Allen, and Sun Minghui, who are the absolute core leaders of the team, in Guangdong Hongyuan, Zhao Rui does not have such a status treatment, which is also the biggest shortcoming when he competes with others. Of course, whether you admit it or not, in Guangdong Hongyuan's three-back system, Zhao Rui is the real core, look at Zhao Rui's absent this season's game, you can understand this truth.
From the past three finalists to the current top four CBA League this season is not only a season of dark horses, but also a season of domestic defenders to redivide the forces, and Chen Yingjun, as a rising upstart, is only a challenge forerunner, followed by Liao Sanning, Li Tianrong, Lin Tingqian, Licensing and other rising stars eager to try. They will be another wave of stronger forces.
