The schedule of the third stage of the CBA has been announced, and the remaining ten games of the Guangdong men's basketball team will face five teams, including the Shandong men's basketball team, the Xinjiang men's basketball team, the Guangzhou men's basketball team, the Beijing control men's basketball team, and the Ningbo men's basketball team. It can be said that the schedule is not too difficult for the Guangdong men's basketball team, after all, the strength of these five teams is not too strong, if you can seize the opportunity, the guangdong men's basketball team's regular season ranking will not be too bad. Of course, in order to achieve better results, the Guangdong men's basketball team still cannot be careless, because their records in the first two stages are relatively backward, especially compared with the Liaoning men's basketball team, Shanghai men's basketball team and other teams, the gap is a bit large.
In fact, the goal of the Guangdong men's basketball team is no longer a better regular season record, this season's CBA competition is more intense, the original Liaoning men's basketball team, Zhejiang men's basketball team and other teams have maintained a good competitiveness, Shanghai men's basketball team, Guangsha men's basketball team and other teams have also improved their combat effectiveness, which is aimed at defending the Guangdong men's basketball team is a big challenge, Du Feng will definitely not let the players have injuries for the regular season record, and can enter the playoffs with a more complete lineup, which is the most basic goal of the Guangdong men's basketball team and Du Feng. It is also the biggest capital for them to defend their title.
Even if Du Feng and the Guangdong men's basketball team want to maintain a more complete lineup, the reality is still not spared the Guangdong men's basketball team, this season's Guangdong men's basketball team is really uninterrupted in terms of injuries, Yi Jianlian is difficult to find the state in the second stage, but still can not take on the heavy responsibility of attack and defense. Marzanne Brooks has not played so far, and the probability of playing in the regular season is extremely low. In addition, Zhang Hao, Zhang Haojia, Zhao Rui and other people have been plagued by injuries to varying degrees, and the five ups and five downs that Du Feng was proud of before did not appear, which is enough to prove the shortage of Rotation of Guangdong men's basketball personnel.
It stands to reason that an injury situation on a team is a good opportunity for some players who don't often get playing time or don't play much time, because they can seize the opportunity to get more playing time and thus make a real price. But in this case, there are still people who can't seize the opportunity, two of them are gradually marginalized, Du Feng is no longer difficult and does not give heavy use, they are Zeng Fanri and Wang Xingkai.
Guangdong men's basketball team is relatively short of internal line, 26-year-old Zeng Fanri if the performance is good, will certainly be able to get more playing time, but Zeng Fanri this season averaged only 11.7 minutes of playing time, compared with last season's 15.5 minutes less than 3.8 minutes, the last five games of the second phase, Zeng Fanri played less than 10 minutes, and the game with the Fujian men's basketball team is only 1 minute, Du Feng is the inside line is tight, and does not let Zeng Fanri play for a few more minutes.
Wang Salarykai is a good three-point shooter, in the 18-19 season and the 19-20 season, his three-point shooting rate reached 40%+, especially in the 19-20 season, Wang Salarykai's three-point shooting rate was as high as 16.5%, but in the 21-22 season, Wang Salarykai's three-point shooting rate was only 34%, which was a lot of decline compared with before. In terms of playing time, Du Feng did not deliberately shorten Wang Salarykai's playing time, but in the last four games of the second stage, Wang Salarykai did not get the opportunity to play in two games, and the other two games also got a total of seven minutes of playing time, there were not many performance opportunities at all, if Wang Salarykai continued to slump, he would gradually be abandoned.
Du Feng's coaching adheres to the concept of the capable and the mediocre, and if Zeng Fanri and Wang Xingkai do not perform well, then others may replace them. Zhao Jinyang, the former king of mistakes, performed well in the second stage, averaging 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds per game this season, shooting 55.2% and 41.7% from three-point range, respectively, and also performed well on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which is a malleable talent. In addition, there is a young Zhang Hao, who has an inside attack and an outside projection, and is only 19 years old, which is more worth looking forward to than Zeng Fanri.
In addition to the decline in status, Zeng Fanri and Wang Shaokai also have no age advantage, Zeng Fanri is 26 years old, Wang Xiankai is 27 years old, they have both missed the plastic period, the future may not have much room for improvement, Zhao Jinyang and Zhang Hao are not the same, they are both about 20 years old, there is a lot of potential to tap. Therefore, Zeng Fanri and Wang Shaokai should have a sense of urgency, seize the opportunity to find the state, and strive to get more performance time, otherwise they will really be gradually abandoned by the Guangdong men's basketball team.
