The performance of the Guangzhou men's basketball team this season was a big surprise, losing to the Shandong men's basketball team by 20 points in the last game, the team's record came to 11-13, and the ranking fell to 12th in the league, and the playoffs situation was precarious. In the last six games, the Guangzhou men's basketball team only achieved 1 win and 5 losses, losing to Beijing Shougang, Xinjiang men's basketball, Liaoning men's basketball, Qingdao men's basketball team and Shandong men's basketball team.
Up to now, the Guangzhou men's basketball team is seventh in the league in offensive efficiency, eleventh in the league in defensive efficiency, fourth in the league in points per game, and first in the league in three-point shots per game. Judging from the performance of the Guangzhou men's basketball team this season, in addition to the offensive and defensive performance in the first stage reaching the top eight level, the second stage began to show a cliff-like decline.
Chen Yingjun, the main core of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, has fallen off a cliff
After Chen Yingjun got the maximum salary contract in the offseason, his competitive form this season has declined very seriously, averaging 16.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game last season, and this season's average per game has dropped to 13.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.1 steals. As the first organizational core of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, Chen Yingjun's offensive options in many key games are not reasonable, his ability to solve the game is also weakening, and he lacks fighting spirit on the court.
In addition to Chen Yingjun's declining state, Zhu Mingzhen, Guo Kai, Li Yanzhe and others are also in a sluggish competitive state, the team's defensive tenacity is slowly disappearing, and the ability to fight tough battles is not as good as before.
The club didn't spend a lot of money on signings
In addition, the Guangzhou men's basketball team is also very limited in terms of foreign aid investment, compared to other teams to create a luxury lineup of three foreign aids, the Guangzhou men's basketball team has only introduced two foreign players this season, namely Moore and Kemp. Moore's ability is undoubted, averaging 21.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals per game, and a 40.3% three-point shooting rate, but the big outside aid Camp is very average, averaging 11 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, and the performance of the rim and rebounding is far inferior to Jordan Bell last season. I have to admit that the Guangzhou men's basketball team is still unwilling to spend money on the construction of foreign aid lineups.
With such a bad record in the team, the Guangzhou men's basketball team should really bring in a third foreign aid as soon as possible to fight the fire, and the team needs to bring in a super scorer to solve the problem on the offensive end.
