After Yi Jianlian's retirement, Guangdong Hongyuan's inner line completely ushered in a vacuum period, and Zhou Qi, who was airborne in the offseason, was not considered a regular combat force because of repeated injuries, and the remaining Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin were repeatedly called "Hongyuan Sweet Potato" by fans at the beginning of the season, just because they often made low-level mistakes due to their lack of experience in the game, and became an important object of Du Feng's "greetings". Xu Xin, who has continuously played wonderful performances since the second stage, has taken the lead in breaking away from the ranks of sweet potatoes, and even has a tendency to evolve to an inner giant! In Hongyuan's defeat of Jilin, Xu Xin played 30 minutes, slashing 18 points, 17 rebounds and 7 blocks on 7-of-10 shooting, and all three statistics hit a career high! Some fans ridiculed that Zhou Qi was not there, Xu Xin became Zhou Qi, and if he continued to fight like this, Zhou Qi's start may not be guaranteed!
I have to say that in the game of Hongyuan vs. Jilin, Xu Xin fully fulfilled his talent and became the real look expected by fans. Taking the opponent's big foreign aid as an example, in a battle with Hongyuan, Jilin's big foreign aid Laco slashed 50 points and 18 rebounds, Xu Xin was not there in that game, no one could stop him, and in this game against Xu Xin, Laco only got 19 points and 8 rebounds, and the data directly hit a four-fold. It's not that Laco is pulling his hips, but Xu Xin is too fierce, Xu Xin frantically sent 7 blocks in this game, 4 of which were awarded to Laco. After receiving the ball, facing Xu Xin, Laco always has a sense of powerlessness, Xu Xin is taller than him and faster than him, if he directly puts on a big hat, there is no need to negotiate. In the second half, Laco only dared to hide on the outside and shoot three points, because he knew that it was useless to go inside, Xu Xin was really crazy tonight!
After entering the second stage, Xu Xin seemed to be a different person, showing terrifying dominance at both offensive and defensive ends. Playing Beijing, he scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks in 15 minutes, 14 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in 23 minutes in Sichuan, and 14 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in 30 minutes against Shenzhen, and he scored 18 points, 17 rebounds and 7 blocks against Jilin! Some fans said that Xu Xin has actually been "delayed" by Du Feng, Xu Xin did not get much playing time in the first two years, resulting in his game experience and awareness not being improved, this season Xu Xin entered the main rotation for the first time, played more games, and had more growth, and his already very good body could also play his greatest talent!
When Xu Xin was silent in the first two seasons, many fans ridiculed Zhu Fangyu for betting on the wrong treasure at the beginning, after all, it was Zhu Fangyu who "bought" Xu Xin back with a lot of money in Beijing, and he also told everyone more than once that Xu Xin "even has the talent to play in the NBA". Xu Xin was hidden in the snow two years ago, and everyone thought that Zhu Fangyu had seen the wrong person, but once Xu Xin's talent was developed, it shone like a diamond, which shows that Zhu Fangyu's vision is indeed very vicious!
