On January 28, the second phase of the CBA regular season is now nearing its end, and fans have seen many wonderful games these days. Defending champion Guangdong's regular season performance in the second stage can only be said to be average, because the team has been affected by a number of factors, the national team preparation is on the one hand, in addition to a large area of injuries. Among them, Zhao Rui's situation is the concern of many fans, so how is he now, when can he play, not long ago we heard some news.
Guangdong team and team reporter Guan Xin recently conducted a live broadcast, and talked about a lot of Guangdong team topics when interacting with fans. Some fans asked about Zhao Rui's specific situation, and Guan Xin revealed that Zhao Rui would not play in the second stage of the regular season, and would not play until the third stage of the regular season. Zhao Rui is currently recuperating in his hometown and slowly waiting for recovery.
We learned that Zhao Rui will not play until the third stage of the regular season, he is indeed injured, and not light, and needs to rest for a while. It is understood that Zhao Rui was injured in the match against Guangsha and has been absent so far, causing a lot of concerns. Later, the Guangdong team official Wei posted a message revealing that Zhao Rui did suffer an injury and needed to recuperate for a while.
Zhao Rui previously participated in the training of the Chinese men's basketball team to prepare for the World Preliminary Tournament, and his training and competition were very hard, and later after returning to China, he was isolated, which obviously affected his state.
Zhao Rui has averaged 27 minutes per game this season, with 13.3 points, 5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.8 steals, which is the core backcourt of the Guangdong team. Zhao Rui's absence has a great impact on the Guangdong team, after all, the lack of an offensive and defensive strong point in the backcourt makes them unable to fight against the strong team. As a result, Guangdong lost a lot of matches in the second stage, and the standings also fell out of the top four.
If Zhao Rui can return in the third stage of the regular season, then it is a very good supplement for the Guangdong team. At that time, Guangdong team also has a double foreign aid of Weems + Ledo, and they are expected to return to the top four again.
Guangdong team's goal this season is to win four consecutive championships, but the difficulties encountered are not small. On the one hand, competitors are very strong, on the other hand, their own injuries are continuous. We saw that Maxon Brooks was still recuperating from injuries, followed by Zhao Rui, Zhang Haojia, Zhang Hao and others, which seriously affected the rotation of the team. Fortunately, the team is actively operating, which has led to the addition of Ledo, and the third stage of the future will be neatly staffed, and there will be more players available to head coach Du Feng.
