Although Guangzhou has no hope of winning the championship this season, they are still the favorite team in the southern division, the main reason is that Guo Shiqiang only took more than a year to make them rush all the way to the top seven of the CBA league. And their current performance has not yet reached its peak, because Guo Shiqiang's weight in his hand obviously still has a lot. As long as it can be used well, guangzhou team may not be able to hit the top five of the CBA league. But can Guo Shiqiang achieve this goal? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Fans are very concerned about Mason's injury
I believe you also know that the Guangzhou team is currently ranked seventh in the CBA League with a record of 18 wins and 10 losses, and just in the middle and late last month, their small foreign aid Mason missed the remaining games of the second stage due to the tearing of the fascia, and now fans are very concerned about whether he can play the third stage of the game for Guangzhou. However, at this stage, Mason's chances of playing in the third stage will exceed 70%. The reason is also very simple, more than a month of rehabilitation cycle is enough to relieve his pain from the root. And at present, the outside line of the Guangzhou team is obviously inseparable from his blessing, because the goal of the Guangzhou team is not just to enter the top seven.
Guangzhou's schedule was very tough
And as far as the Guangzhou team is concerned in the third stage of the schedule, they will play two rounds of encounters with tianjin, Beijing, Guangdong, Fujian and Shenzhen in succession, from the schedule point of view, in addition to the strength of Tianjin and Fujian, the other three teams are famous hard bones. Even the weakest Beijing team. Their current strength is no longer what it used to be, not only the injury problem of their main players has been alleviated from the root, but their four foreign aides have also established a further tacit understanding with the team, especially Jeremy Lin, whose rhythm problem must be perfectly solved during the window period. As a result, their strength will once again achieve a qualitative breakthrough!
Guo Shiqiang has very few cards in his hand
In contrast, in the Guangzhou team, Guo Shiqiang does not have strong foreign aid like Jeremy Lin, Brown and Gibson, and what he can do is to further explore the potential of the players in the team. But since Guo Shiqiang can successfully activate Chen Yingjun, Zhu Mingzhen, Li Yanzhe, Li Fu and Mason in the first two stages of the game, then in the third stage of the game, Guo Shiqiang will certainly be able to activate more players again, like Qi Haotong, Tong Jiajun, Liu Yancheng and Xie Chenfei, and they are obviously the key to Guangzhou's breakthrough.
Guangzhou has mastered the true meaning of "bright sword"
Here, the basketball brother admitted that even if Guo Shiqiang tried hard in Guangzhou, it would be difficult to be the opponent of the three strong teams of Guangdong, Beijing and Shenzhen. But the characteristic of Guo Shiqiang is that "when it is strong, it is strong"! Even if there is a clear gap between them and these three strong teams, Guo Shiqiang can take this opportunity to further test what deficiencies they still have. That's right! The Guangzhou team is indeed a civilian team, but under the leadership of Guo Shiqiang, they have understood the true meaning of the two words "bright sword", even if the opponent is strong, they cannot give up, but choose to fight with the opponent to the end! Because if they fight, they may win, and if they don't fight, they won't have any chance.
Guo Shiqiang has led Guangzhou to start two counterattacks
Without this persistence, the Guangzhou team could not have opened two counterattacks in Guo Shiqiang's hands in just over a year. But their first counterattack was last season, when they managed to make it to the playoffs. And their second counterattack was in the first two stages of the game, which is not, they have successfully reached the top seven of the CBA League. But judging from their performance in the game, the Guangzhou team still has not reached their peak. Because whether it is their local young players or their foreign aid, they obviously have more room for improvement, not to mention, they have also experienced more than 20 days of training.
Even if the schedule is difficult, Guangzhou will not give up easily
This also gives them a further possibility, as mentioned in the opening part, they will play two rounds of encounters with Beijing, Guangdong and Shenzhen in the third stage, but Guangzhou will not give up. What's more, in addition to the Beijing team, the other two teams are likely to close in the third stage, because the playoffs are their real challenge. As for the regular season rankings? He is clearly still far from the championship. It can be seen from here that the strong opponent of guangzhou team in the third stage is only Beijing team. And they're going to fight to the end in every game because they also need to do better in the regular season.
Guo Shiqiang wants to lead the team to attack the top five
But even so, guangzhou team still has a further possibility in the current season, not to mention after more than 20 days of window grinding, not only their local main lineup will make a big breakthrough, that is, the young players in their team will also have a greater breakthrough, it seems that when the third stage officially comes, they will also become a new weight in the hands of Guo Shiqiang, plus the help of Mason and Liver, which will also allow Guangzhou team to have a further possibility in the current season. That's the top five of the CBA League! What do you think about that?
