Quietly, the 22nd round of the 2023-24 CBA regular season is coming to an end. In the previously concluded game, after extra time, the Beijing Control team narrowly defeated Shandong by 4 points at home.
In this game, Chen Guohao played 16 minutes and got 6 points and 8 rebounds, including 5 frontcourt rebounds. It is worth mentioning that this is Chen Guohao's data in the first half, and Chen Guohao did not get a chance to play in the entire second half and even in overtime.
Throughout the third quarter and the fourth quarter, Meng Zikai was on the court. The latter played 30 minutes and had seven points and two rebounds. It wasn't until two minutes into overtime that Meng Zikai had to leave the game because he was full of fouls.
It is worth mentioning that Mencius Kai was obviously physically exhausted before he was full. On the defensive end, he couldn't withstand the big foreign aid of the Shandong team, and was named by the opponent many times. On the offensive end, Meng Zikai also threw a three-no-stick. This is because he puts too much energy into the defensive end, which causes Meng Zikai to be weak on the offensive end.
But even so, Director Min Lulei has no intention of changing people. Even if he left the field after committing a full crime, Min Lulei also sent Yu Changdong on the field, and Chen Guohao could only watch the game from the bench. So much so that after the game, many fans complained: Is this not a fruit basket for the coach?
In fact, Chen Guohao did not appear in the entire second half, which may have been intentional by the coach. Although Chen Guohao grabbed five frontcourt rebounds in the first half, his energy and enthusiasm were impeccable. In terms of plus/minus, Chen Guohao is -7, while Meng Zikai has a plus/minus of +15 despite his mediocre data.
But fans who have watched the game know that Chen Guohao's low plus/minus is because of Felder's performance in the first half, which was very poor. Of the frontcourt rebounds that Chen Guohao grabbed, two passed to Felder, who missed the shot. So, none of that translates directly into a score.
In fact, although Chen Guohao's positioning is awkward and his shooting stability is average, his impact and vitality are not possessed by many players. Moreover, as the champion show, Chen Guohao's popularity and popularity are very high.
Of course, Min Lulei is also a famous handsome, and he also has his own considerations in terms of employing people. Although Meng Zikai's physical fitness is not as good as Chen Guohao, his role is significantly stronger than Chen Guohao's when breaking the joint defense. Therefore, no matter who Min Lulei uses to guide him, he must have made a decision after careful consideration.
