Zhu Mingzhen's performance in last season is believed to be remembered by everyone, especially in the few games in which Guo Shiqiang was banned, in order to help the team regain his advantage, he was the first to incarnate as a "domestic Leonard" and shouldered the heavy responsibility of Guangzhou's outside attack and defense. Judging from his performance last season, he has undoubtedly become a very key outside output firepower for guangzhou team. Even if they are eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, it is obvious that Zhu Mingzhen, a young player, has completely risen. However, in Guo Shiqiang's eyes, what do you really want him to do? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Zhu Mingzhen caught up with the good times
For Zhu Mingzhen, a young player, as long as he is a fan of the Guangzhou team, he should be no stranger to him. Although he joined Guangzhou through the CBA draft, his performance in the last two seasons has refreshed our understanding of draft players. And in terms of luck, he is obviously far ahead of other draft players. Because when he came to the Guangzhou team, he happened to catch up with Guo Shiqiang who was creating a new generation of fresh forces for the Guangzhou team. When Guo Shiqiang saw this young man, he found at a glance that he had amazing basketball potential. As a result, he was also trained by Guo Shiqiang as a key seed-type player. But he didn't live up to everyone's expectations of him, because his progress was very obvious!
Zhu Mingzhen did not stop moving forward
But this is only the beginning for Zhu Mingzhen, because in the future, he will need to shoulder more burdens for the Guangzhou team. To this end, he also invested more hard work and sweat last season. But judging by his performance last season, he is very likely to grow into the core main force of the new generation of Guangzhou team. Although his overall performance still has a big gap with Chen Yingjun, the main defender, he did not stand still, but walked forward step by step, and in the process of his growth, Guo Shiqiang pointed out more deficiencies, which made his reinforcement more targeted!
Zhu Mingzhen's shortcomings are also obvious
No, last season he averaged 12.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game for Guangzhou, and from his overall performance, he has undoubtedly made a lot of progress. Especially last season, his highest single-game score even reached a staggering 33 points, but even so, his shortcomings were exposed very obviously. In particular, the stability of his play needs to be improved. Just like his three-point shooting, when he finds the feel, his three-point projection can even do "a hundred shots", and when his hand is depressed, he will also have a situation of hitting iron. In this regard, it is obvious that Zhu Mingzhen can pay more hardships and sweat in the offseason.
Guo Shiqiang's expectations for Zhu Mingzhen are very high
However, if you stand in Guo Shiqiang's point of view, what does he really want Zhu Mingzhen to do? If the basketball brother is Guo Shiqiang, I must hope that Zhu Mingzhen can grow up completely within three years. Because from the perspective of the overall lineup thickness, there is still a big gap between the Guangzhou team and other strong teams. In particular, their external offensive firepower still has a big gap with guangsha, Guangdong, Liaoning and other strong teams. If the Guangzhou team wants to achieve more outstanding results in the future, then Zhu Mingzhen must make another qualitative breakthrough in the next three years. Moreover, from the perspective of his natural ability, Guo Shiqiang hopes that he can grow into the Guangzhou version of "Ding Yanyu Hang"!
Zhu Mingzhen still needs to shoulder heavy responsibilities
Of course, this Ding Yanyuhang refers to his peak period, which means that he must completely hold the second and third positions. And judging from the situation of the Guangzhou team, this is also their weakest point. As for the players in the team, such as Li Jinglong, Zhang Zhanwei and Liu Yancheng, whether it is their overall performance or their potential, there is obviously a big gap between them and Zhu Mingzhen. We can see this through their performance in the game. As for Qi Haotong, the young player, he played more in the big forward position, which also made the two players lose their comparability. It seems that Zhu Mingzhen, a young general, is indeed shouldering a heavy responsibility!
Zhu Mingzhen is sprinting towards the front swing man
Although there is still a big gap between him and Guo Haowen of the Shanghai team in terms of overall play, Guo Haowen's career has reached 4 years, and Zhu Mingzhen is only two years. The gap in career makes Zhu Mingzhen even less dominant. But even so, Zhu Mingzhen still wouldn't stop his pace. Since Guo Shiqiang wants to build him into a "front guard swing man" of the Guangzhou team, he must continue to work hard in this direction. And judging from his performance last season, his progress has been very rapid, especially his three-point shooting rate has reached a staggering 38%, which is very close to the top scorer.
Zhu Mingzhen will bring us more surprises in the new season
But his performance last season has not yet reached its peak, if he wants to become a forward swing man in Guo Shiqiang's eyes, it will require him to invest more hardships and sweat in the offseason, because not only does he need to completely stabilize his play on the field, he also needs to further increase his ability to hold the ball and attack. Only in this way can he use his excellent offensive ability to re-play the outside advantage of Guangzhou at the critical moment when the outside attack of the Guangzhou team is in a downturn. However, if there is no accident, Zhu Mingzhen has already begun to sprint towards this aspect. In the new season, he will definitely bring us more surprises! What do you think about that?
