On April 9, the CBA Quarterfinals, The Guangdong Men's Basketball Team defeated Zhejiang 97-82, eliminating the Zhejiang team 2-0 and advancing to the top 4.
Among them, Xu Jie, the main defender of the Guangdong men's basketball team, played well, cutting a game-high 25 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
In this game, Guangdong's small foreign aid Ledo failed to play due to injury, and the team's defender line responsibility could only be entrusted to Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie.
Hu Mingxuan's form in this game is very average, with only 2 hits in 8 shots, only 7 points and 1 assist, and 5 fouls. In such a situation, it is fortunate that Xu Jie, a young player after 00, stepped forward and contributed his strength at both ends of the attack and defense.
In this game, Xu Jie was calm and calm, always helping the team control the rhythm of the game, and sent 3 assists. Not only that, Xu Jie also spelled out several key frontcourt rebounds on the offensive end to help his teammates score a second offense.
On the offensive end, Xu Jie, who is only 1 meter 79 tall, is like a loach in the opposing position war, a burst of operation is like a flowing cloud, two-point shots 5 shots 4, three-point shots 5 shots 2, free throws 12 penalties 11 in a steady as an old dog, unconsciously cut 25 points.
In this game of national hand-level defender competition, Xu Jie is undoubtedly winning quite beautifully. Compared with Wu Qian, his performance in this game is much more eye-catching.
In this campaign, Wu Qian played 26 minutes, scoring only 3 points on 1 of 6 shots, and 4 fouls and 4 turnovers. Basically, as soon as Wu Qian played, he was taken care of by the close defense of the Guangdong defender, and Xu Jie continuously attacked Wu Qian, forcing him to foul 4 times, playing very helplessly.
Wang Yibo, who played well in the last game, Xu Jie has made a big improvement in his defense in this game, Wang Yibo appeared for 24 minutes, shooting 0 of 5 from two-point range, 1 of 3 from three-point range, only 6 points into the account, and 6 fouls.
Previously, Xu Jie had just entered the Guangdong team and was not widely optimistic, and everyone believed that a defender who was only 1 meter 79 in height would not do much. After 4 seasons, Xu Jie has slowly gained a foothold in the Guangdong team with his own strength, and is now an indispensable member of the Guangdong team.
In Zhao Rui's absence for a period of time, he stepped forward and shouldered the team's scoring responsibility, many games scored more than 20+, he also entered the national team roster with his own efforts, and also had his own bright performance in the international arena.
In this game, everyone has seen his progress for all to see, and in the competition with the 3 defenders of the Zhejiang team, he is not in danger, stable as an old dog, and finally helped the team win the game.
The terrible thing is that Xu Jie is only 23 years old, he still has a lot of room to rise, and in the next game, he is still one of the shining stars of the Guangdong team.
