On March 14, Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued, and Zhejiang Guangsha lost to Qingdao 96-103 and missed the opportunity to top the table. What is more worrying is the two problems exposed by guangsha in this game, which are likely to affect their prospects for the championship.
The first problem of the Guangsha team is that their substitution depth is insufficient, especially sun Minghui, which lacks a qualified substitute. In this game, Sun Minghui played 45 minutes, 3 of 16 shots (including 7 of 7 three-pointers) only scored 7 points, although he delivered 11 assists, but the personal offense was too inefficient.
Especially at the last moment of the fourth quarter of the game, Sun Minghui's successive mistakes and mistakes were an important factor in the loss of guangsha team. Although Sun Minghui's performance this season is very good and he is also a national team player, no player dares to say that his competitive state will never have a problem.
However, the Guangsha team obviously lacked candidates who could replace Sun Minghui, even if there were Zhao Yanhao and Feng Xin on the bench, they could not tear apart the opponent's defense line with a ferocious breakthrough like Sun Minghui. In last year's playoffs, Sun Minghui's real replacement was actually Feld, but this season, the Guangsha team did not introduce small foreign aid at all. So once Sun Minghui is suppressed or played abnormally, the Guangsha team has no record at all, and the overall attack is likely to have huge problems, which is their first problem.
The second problem of the Guangsha team is that it is difficult to form a good chemical reaction between new signings Okafor and Hu Jinqiu, and the roles played by the two are also conflicting. Okafor and Hu Jinqiu are both very strong in personal ability, but both are better at ending, but they are not very good at planning, which also leads to the Guangsha team if they send both at the same time, then when attacking Okafor, Hu Jinqiu will inevitably have a lack of ball power, and vice versa. That is to say, these two strong points can often only have 1 play, and it is difficult to exert force at the same time.
This situation also made The head coach of guangsha team Wang Bo very headache, Jones's technical characteristics are more suitable for Hu Jinqiu, but his personal ability is obviously inferior to Okafor. As a result, Okafor, do not give him the ball, his problems on the defensive end will be exposed, give him the ball, Hu Jinqiu is difficult to give full play, for example, this ball, Hu Jinqiu cut 26 points in 13 shots 12 points, but the ball power in the last quarter is extremely limited. However, if he does not go to Okafor, Jones's lack of personal ability will affect the team ceiling, which is really a dilemma.
Therefore, today's Guangsha team seems to have strong internal and external manpower, but whether it is outside or inside, there are very serious defects. If they can't solve this problem, I'm afraid that on the road to the championship, they can still only play the role of runners.
