Beijing time on January 28, the last round of the second stage of the CBA League, Guangdong Hongyuan 101-108 defeated Shanghai Jiushi, although there is only a 7-point difference, but in the actual game, Guangdong Hongyuan is completely inferior, from the second quarter onwards, the long-term point difference is about 20 points, seemingly small loss, in fact, the loss is very thorough, the first time in the season of the double foreign aid Weems and Ledo combination but so failed.

This season, Guangdong Hongyuan ushered in the comeback of Yi Jianlian, but the unevenness of foreign aid and the absence of other important local players have seriously damaged the strength of this team, and after 28 rounds of matches, it has only achieved a record of 20 wins and 8 losses, especially in the second stage of 9 wins and 6 losses, which is very bad, and this season has seen 5 games with more than 20 points lost, which is not counting the actual irresistible game with Shanghai Jiushi.
According to Pro Basketball data, Guangdong Hongyuan lost 3.7 points per 100 rounds against the top 10 teams in the CBA League in terms of 100 rounds of net wins this season, ranking 8th in the league, and both of these statistics are the worst seasons in Guangdong Hongyuan's nearly 10 years.
Personnel disorganization is a major factor in the serious decline in Guangdong Hongyuan's strength, according to the player's net win score data in 100 rounds, Zhao Rui's net win score is as high as 14.4, but Zhao Rui has missed 15 games, missing 18 games Weems' net win ratio has dropped seriously last season, Du Runwang also missed 11 games, and last season's CBA's biggest BUG Brooks' serious injury absence was even more affected, and at the critical moment, Guangdong Hongyuan did not have a person who could take the first rank of general in the million army.
The domineering dominance on the Guangdong Hongyuan stadium is fading, but some controversial actions of the players off the court have caused a storm of public opinion. In the previous matches with Liaoning, Guangsha, Qingdao and other teams, many players in Guangdong Hongyuan had a relatively large-scale foul situation, and many opposing players were injured as a result, and Guangdong Hongyuan also suffered a lot of questions and criticisms. To some extent, this has a lot to do with the change in the mentality of players losing or falling behind.
