Beijing time on March 18, the CBA regular season continued to play, Guangdong Hongyuan 106-80 defeated the Ningbo men's basketball team, won 2 consecutive wins, this campaign Zhao Rui played 37 minutes, 13 out of 7, got 21 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists data, combined with the last Guangdong play North Control, Zhao Rui also efficiently got 20 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists of the report card, it is obvious that Guangdong this wave of consecutive wins, Zhao Rui played a very important role.
After Zhao Rui's return, what changes have taken place in Guangdong?
First of all, the starting lineup, after the return of Zhao Rui, Guangdong ushered in a ball-holding no. 1 core, the previous role was Hu Mingxuan and Weems, but it is clear that neither of them can support the entire Guangdong backcourt players, especially in terms of scoring, Hu Mingxuan's three-point misalignment, Weems's mistakes remain high, the result is that it is easy to have continuous mistakes in the first quarter, and after Xu Jie mentioned it, Guangdong's second lineup firepower was often powered off, which plagued Du Feng's guidance could not make too many adjustments. And Zhao Rui returned to the starting, his own breakthrough kill and three-point shot projection line, and in the face of the opponent's counterattack, Zhao Rui can even defend the opponent's No. 3 position, the fault tolerance rate is extremely high, when Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui return to the familiar position, the entire Guangdong Hongyuan three-point shooting rate continues to pick up.
The second point is the mistake aspect, the whole new season is ranked in the bottom five of the league, and even Du Feng emphasized 20 mistakes at the press conference more than once, how to win? But from this campaign can be seen that Zhao Rui as the core of the ball holding type, the quality of the channeling ball is relatively high, which is very different from Hu Mingxuan's deliberate creation, as long as the teammate appears in the position, Zhao Rui's first-hand passing ability is definitely one of the ceilings of the domestic defender line, about 1 meter 95 in height, playing the No. 1 position is still not at a loss in terms of speed, in the counterattack, in the case of its own ability to maintain the threat, the Guangdong of this campaign only has 11 mistakes, almost half less.
Before the playoffs, there are actually not many factors left for Du Feng's adjustment, and Zhao Rui is the focus of the focus, from the level of ability, Zhao Rui's height and confrontation, scoring ability, if you let go. Reaching the data of 20+7+5 per game, I believe there will not be much trouble.
But the role that Guangdong really needs him to take on is definitely not just the role of a scorer, but the three young leaders at the core level from organizing attack to defense. If Zhao Rui can return to the peak state in all aspects, and Guangdong's foreign aid can meet expectations, I believe that in the playoffs, there is still no team that dares to underestimate them.
