"For me, public opinion is actually pressure is also motivation, good is good, bad is bad, I believe there will always be fans whose eyes are bright." This is the personal remarks made by Guangsha center Xu Zhonghao in an interview during his suspension last season about his own excesses. It can be seen that Xu Zhonghao did not think that he was a malicious foul at that time, and there was still some dissatisfaction in his words. To say that the worst player last season may be Xu Zhonghao, the salary of 1 million yuan alone deducted 200,000 yuan, and suffered eight games, but also to countless fans of the verbal criticism, the season that has ended must impress him.
At the beginning of this year's offseason, Xu Zhonghao's contract has expired, and whether he can renew his contract with Guangsha has also attracted the attention of fans. Although Xu Zhonghao was called the first evil man in the CBA by many fans last season due to continuous injuries, from the perspective of contribution, his role in the Guangsha team is still irreplaceable. Last season, Xu Zhonghao averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds per game and was Hu Jinqiu's most reliable substitute. However, due to the introduction of two big foreign aides by the Guangsha team, this also made Xu Zhonghao's playing time fully compressed.
In his first season with Guangsha, Xu Zhonghao could average 8.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and had a high shooting rate in both the inside and outside lines, which was the main reason why Wang Bo paid special attention to him. Therefore, in this year's offseason, the Guangsha team resolutely renewed the contract with Xu Zhonghao for two years, and the 2-meter-12 tower won a contract of 3 million yuan. If the guangsha team in the previous two seasons is still in the assessment stage for Xu Zhonghao's performance, the 3 million contract this time is undoubtedly a full affirmation of him personally. Especially in this year's finals, in the process of Hu Jinqiu's absence, Xu Zhonghao can contribute an average of 12 points and 6 rebounds per game to the tough interior line of Liaoning team, and the overall performance has far exceeded expectations.
After the renewal of the contract, Xu Zhonghao also showed great strength in recent training, and it is worth mentioning that after being punished by the league, Xu Zhonghao did not have any malicious fouls in the finals and Liaoning matches. Even though many fans claimed to stay away from Heo Jong-ho, his performance was unexpected, using real personal ability to conquer many fans. It can be seen from this that Xu Zhonghao can completely not use any of the next three bad means, and he can also show his excellent side with strength, and next season, this inner tower will have to prove that he is still a good citizen.
Xu Zhonghao's current position in the Guangsha team is self-evident, and next season, the Guangsha team will inevitably be fully adjusted in terms of the type of foreign aid, and the introduction of two major foreign aides is completely inconsistent with the development needs of the team. Therefore, in the proportion of the inner line, the role of Xu Zhonghao will be more important, and Wang Bo wants to fully impact the championship in the next step, still relying on Xu Zhonghao's tough output to achieve this goal. Last season for the Guangsha team is not quite depressed, even if the overall strength is not as good as Liaoning, due to the injury of the main player did not even get the opportunity to let go, next season Wang Bo will inevitably make a comeback and launch a comprehensive sprint to the championship again.
