The most attractive thing about the match between Guangzhou and Tongxi is the playoff battle, and whoever can win the opponent may become the team that presses the whistle to enter the playoffs. After a fierce competition between you and me, the Guangzhou team led by Guo Shiqiang finally closed the game 101:95, perhaps the Tongxi team led by Xi Relijiang will completely miss the playoffs this season.
This match was a significant match for both Xi Relijiang and Guo Shiqiang, and although the Tongxi team had the advantage of sitting on the home field, they were caught off guard by Guangzhou at the beginning.
The starting players for both sides in this match are Tongxi team: Peterson, Wang Lanrong, Sun Mingyang, Liu Dong and Wu Tingjia
Guangzhou: Chen Yingjun, Zhu Mingzhen, Jordan Bell, Cui Yongxi, Li Yanzhe.
The main scoring points of the Guangzhou team are: Chen Yingjun 22 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists, Cui Yongxi 25 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, Li Yanzhe 15 points and 6 rebounds, Bell 8 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Mason 9 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.
The main scoring points of the Tongxi team are: Peterson 19 points and 5 assists, Lin Wei 11 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, Achul 18 points and 10 rebounds, Zhao Baiqing 9 points and 6 rebounds, Wang Lanqin 12 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Wu Tingjia 14 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
The most obvious thing about Guangzhou team in this game is that the basic skills of the players are far better than the Tongxi team, especially in the free throws is the best proof, this game Guangzhou team has a total of 21 free throws, only lost 2 free throws, Chen Yingjun lost one, Jiao Boqiao lost one, fortunately Cui Yongxi 6 free throws 6, Li Yanzhe can make 5 of 5 free throws, Zheng Zhun 2 free throws 2, Zhu Mingzhen is also 2 free throws 2. The overall free throw percentage is over 90 percent. It can be seen how strict Guo Shiqiang's requirements for the basic skills of players are. As we all know, free throws are the biggest shortcoming of the Chinese men's basketball team, especially in the international arena, and even 60% cannot be reached, but Guo Shiqiang's less than three seasons in Guangzhou have allowed the Chinese men's basketball team to see the dawn of the future again.
The most gratifying thing about this game is that Guangzhou not only did a very good job on the defensive end, but also fully demonstrated the talent of young players on the offensive end. After returning from the national team, Choi Yongxi played 41 minutes in this game, got a large double-double of 25 points and 12 rebounds, especially the three-point shooting ability showed his talent, including a difficult shot, three-point shooting can actually reach 5 of 7, especially when Chen Yingjun fell into a desperate situation with only 2 seconds left, Choi Yongxi's flowing three points after receiving the ball almost became the decisive shot that killed the game. In the whole game, as a 19-year-old youngster, there was only one mistake, which is quite a big general. It is no wonder that as a foreign coach, Djordjevic was able to draw him into the national team from the crowd.
In addition, Li Yanzhe's performance in this game was also very good, the first to break the deadlock was Li Yanzhe, and then highlighted his role on the defensive end. The Tongxi team's big foreign aid Achuer is almost unable to fight back, in fact, Li Yanzhe's role is not only as simple as protecting the frame, but also does a better job in this game, and shows his tall advantages in containing and covering teammates inside. If such a small number one Han Dejun had not been discovered and cultivated under the guidance of Guo Shiqiang, I am afraid that he would have basically disappeared from everyone! But Li Yanzhe seems to be getting better and better in recent games, with fewer fouls, almost no mistakes, and more cooperation with his teammates. This is the embodiment of Guo Shiqiang's guiding ability.
Needless to say, Chen Yingjun has become the core defender of the Guangzhou team last season. Zhu Mingzhen, as a striker, although he lacks height, he relies on his stable lower set in the game, and the defensive end is basically not out of position. It's just that the three-point projection ability is unstable and needs to be further improved. Jiao Poqiao is another young player that Guo Shiqiang has focused on developing this season, and although there were two mistakes in the backcourt serve in this game, this did not affect his future potential in any way. He has height, speed, and projection, and at the same time can defend from No. 1 to No. 5 on the defensive end. Although he only scored 7 points in this game, he also got 7 rebounds, and it was the outstanding performance of the young players of the Guangzhou team that allowed the Guangzhou team to finally win the game smoothly on the road.
As the two major foreign assistants of the Guangzhou team, Mason and Jordan Bell scored a total of 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Guangzhou team is a real team that does not rely on foreign aid to win.
When Guo Shiqiang guided the Liaoning team, the Liaoning team was almost the center of the Chinese men's basketball team, and now in just a few seasons after coming to the Guangzhou team, a large number of young players have emerged, and the Guangzhou team led by Guo Shiqiang may become the center of the Chinese men's basketball team again in the future.
