In the arena of Chinese basketball, it is not uncommon for weak teams to counterattack strong teams. However, when this drama appeared in the match between the eleven champion Guangdong Hongyuan and the Shandong men's basketball team, which is ranked 16th in the league, people were still shocked by the plot of this big reversal.
After all, the Shandong men's basketball team has been sprayed by Shandong fans before the game, and young players, head coaches, and foreign aides have all been spared. But who would have thought that such a "weak team" disliked by its own fans could beat Hongyuan by 24 points, so that Hongyuan gave up directly in the last two minutes and played a surrender ball?
After the game, Hongyuan head coach Du Feng said in an interview that the team started well, but the young players did not do a good job in defensive rotation, and there were many vacancies that they did not grasp. As soon as Du Feng's words came out, he immediately angered all Hongyuan fans. They believe that Du Feng is the number one war criminal after the defeat of this game. The stubborn and rigid rotation and the superstition that Marchand abandoned Waters, this series of mysterious operations directly led to Hongyuan's rout and loss. Now the young players are blamed for losing, no wonder some fans mock Du Feng, "The hardest thing in the whole body is the mouth!"
Looking back at this match, we can see that Hongyuan struggled very much throughout the game. Although they had a good start to the game, they seemed to lose their way for most of the game. The lack of defensive rotation among young players is indeed a problem, but the root of the problem lies in the manager's tactical arrangement and the use of players. Du Feng's stubbornness and rigid rotation were a big reason for the defeat of this game. He relied too heavily on Marchand as a veteran and neglected other young and promising players such as Waters. In the game, we can see that Marchand's performance on the offensive end is really good, but his defensive ability and physical fitness cannot support him to play the whole game. In this case, there will be holes in Hongyuan's defensive line, giving the opponent a chance to take advantage of.
In addition, Du Feng also has some problems with the use of players in the game. He relied too much on the main players and neglected the growth and potential of the young players. These young players, despite their lack of experience, have shown their energy and potential in the game. If they are given more opportunities and trust, they may be able to contribute more to the team. Whenever a game is lost, Du Feng often puts the blame on the young players. After Yi Jianlian and Su Wei retired, and Zhou Peng, Zhao Rui, and Weems transferred, Guangdong Hongyuan became a "ghost master", and young players played an increasingly important role in the team. This article will analyze Du Feng's tactical choices and the responsibilities of young players.
As the head coach of Guangdong Hongyuan, Du Feng's tactical choices have a crucial impact on the team's performance. In the game, he tends to use fast-paced offense and high-pressure defense, a tactic that can be extremely powerful when the team is experienced and skillful. However, as the squad ages and the playing time of young players gradually increases, the effectiveness of this tactic is greatly reduced. There is a gap between the young players and the senior players in terms of experience and technique, and they often struggle to adapt quickly to the high-pressure pace of the game. On the offensive end, young players have less rational offensive options and lack effective scoring tools, and on the defensive end, they have relatively weak tactical understanding and execution of opponents. These factors all led to Guangdong Hongyuan's defeat in the game.
Of course, we can't put all the blame on the young players. As professional players, they should be responsible for their performance. Young players need to work harder to train and improve their technical skills to adapt to the tactical demands of the team. At the same time, they also need to learn to stay calm and focused in the game, and not let the momentary gains and losses affect their performance. However, the development of young players takes time and patience. As a coach, Du Feng should give more guidance and encouragement to young players to help them gradually grow into the core strength of the team. Rather than blaming them after a loss, this will not only undermine the confidence and motivation of the young players, but also affect the unity and morale of the team.
Guangdong Hongyuan faced the Shandong men's basketball team, and when the team led by 7 points in the second quarter of the game, Du Feng made a rigid substitution according to the "established rotation", and the Shandong men's basketball team took the opportunity to play a wave of 20-0 climax and directly reversed the game. After losing this game, many fans questioned Du Feng's performance. Fans believe that the current Du Feng is still intoxicated with the three-in-a-row championship period, thinking that he can control the overall situation, and that his first five up and five down is omnipotent. But the facts once again gave Du Feng a slap in the face, the current CBA is not five years ago, Du Feng's tactics and concepts are no longer leading, he must change his concept and re-understand the trend of world basketball in order to make progress and improve.
Judging from this game, Du Feng does have some problems in rotating the lineup. In the game, he relied too much on the veterans, the playing time of the young players was very limited, and even when he was ahead, he rarely took the initiative to adjust his tactics and personnel. Not only is this detrimental to the development of young players, but it also leaves the team with a lack of variety and flexibility in the game. In addition, Du Feng often has some lack of on-the-spot adaptability in the game. For example, when the opponent is playing a high game, he often fails to adjust his tactics and personnel to respond to the opponent's counterattack, and he is unable to adjust in time when a player has an injury or foul problem. The emergence of these problems has made people question his coaching ability and leadership ability.
Of course, we cannot deny Du Feng's achievements and contributions in the past. He has led Guangdong Hongyuan to win multiple championships and honors, and has built a competitive team for the team. However, with the passage of time and the development of basketball, Du Feng needs to keep learning and improving to adapt to the new situation and changes. If he still indulges in past successes and experiences and refuses to change his ideas and practices, then sooner or later he will be eliminated by the times.
For Guangdong Hongyuan, the most important thing now is to find a solution to the problem. First and foremost, the team needs to strengthen the strength and depth of the interior to provide more opportunities and space for young players to grow and develop. Secondly, the team needs to strengthen the strength and level of the coaching team, so that the coaching team can better assist Du Feng in coaching and management. Finally, the team needs to strengthen the tacit understanding and cooperation between the players, and improve the overall combat ability and competitiveness of the team.
In short, Guangdong Hongyuan needs to re-examine its current situation and future development direction, and make more wise and rational decisions and choices. As the head coach, Du Feng should also continue to learn and improve to adapt to the new situation and changes. Only in this way can the team regain its former glory and glory!
