Hu Mingxuan provoked the beam, and his move was well received, Brother Shui worshiped the Buddha is indeed advanced, and the No. 14 show is too surprised
In the first matchday of the second round of the CBA2023-24 regular season, the match between the Zhejiang men's basketball team and the Guangdong men's basketball team was the most closely watched battle. Both teams have generals on the inside who can't play because of a back injury, Liu Zeyi on the Zhejiang team's side hangs the exemption card, and the Guangdong team is new signing Zhou Qi is still recuperating, but this does not hinder the excitement of the battle between the two sides. After four quarters of battle, the Guangdong men's basketball team, which had a better overall shooting percentage, had the last laugh, and with a wave of flow that began in the second half of the third quarter, it sealed the victory, and finally defeated last season's regular season first place 106-96 and won two consecutive wins in the opening game of the new season.
In this game, Hu Mingxuan's performance is remarkable, from the data point of view, pepper boy handed over a report card of 8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, which seems to be mediocre, but to paraphrase the fans' phrase, "the data cannot reflect Hu Mingxuan's damage to the Zhejiang team." After Zhao Rui left, someone urgently needed to step up to fill the gap of Hei Rui's departure on the back line of the Guangdong team, and the former FMVP took the initiative to take up this heavy responsibility. When facing Wu Qian, the best-scoring arrow figure in the Zhejiang team, even if there is a problem of uneven distribution of ball within the Zhejiang team and beating the core players into marginal players, it cannot be denied that it is Hu Mingxuan's "stalking" type of close defense, which completely curbed the positional battle attack led by Wu Qian, and Wu Qian's 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting but 6 mistakes are the best portrayal.
Hu Mingxuan's performance is not limited to sinking down and taking the initiative to do the dirty work, when Zhao Jiahong was bullied by Perry's "guillotine", Pepperboy rushed ahead in the style of a big brother to stand out for the little brothers. This scene really feels that this "Internet addict teenager" who was once called a parent for playing games and needs Du Feng's guidance and strict discipline has really grown up, has responsibilities, and has a leadership temperament. This move to stand out for his teammates also made Hu Mingxuan receive praise, and Guangdong fans were pleased to say that Hu Mingxuan really grew.
On the other hand, new signing "Water Brother" Waters has further adapted to the confrontation and rhythm of the CBA by playing against a strong team such as the Zhejiang men's basketball team, and the former Celtic player who knocked out the men's basketball bottoms in the World Cup does have a sense of seniority. Don't look at this game, he only shot 5 of 15, and the stats were fixed at 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and the number of assists was not much. In fact, I really don't blame Brother Shui, after a few just the right high-profile passes to send the opportunity to the inside, teammates always can't grasp it, which also makes people look forward to how explosive the strength of the inside and outside combination of Brother Water and the men's basketball brother is after Zhou Qi's comeback. And Waters' particularly advanced worship is really even if his teammates come forward to block him and eat him, no way, this rhythm change is deep into the marrow. The small foreign duo of Waters and Marchand is destined to set off a new Kombat whirlwind in the new season.
In the end, this year's No. 14 pick Zhang Wenyi played phenomenal - with a 100% shooting percentage, angrily slashing 14 points to pay tribute to his pick and jersey number. In fact, from the summer league to the preseason, Zhang Wenyi's performance is obvious to all, but everyone really did not expect that he could also do plug and play in the regular season, and this beautiful shot is his capital to gain a foothold and settle down in the CBA.
In short, the Guangdong men's basketball team now seems to be in good condition for the whole team, and it has slowly come out of the pain of losing Zhao Rui, and as Brother Shui and the team run in and get better, when Zhou Qi returns, perhaps the sky is the limit of this team.
