Hey, basketball fans and sports fanatics, have you watched the battle between the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Xinjiang men's basketball team in yesterday's CBA game? This is not a simple defeat, but also a flashpoint that triggered Du Feng's public criticism.
It is common to have wins and losses on the basketball court, but don't forget, this is the Guangdong men's basketball team, the former hegemon, not the rhythm of being bullied. After this game, Du Feng was not in the mood to show off his famous "edge" in front of reporters, but angrily blamed the team's young players. Don't walk away, this is just the beginning.
Du Feng's opening remarks after coming on the court were like a strong dunk under the basket, which went straight to the essence of the problem: "I don't think it's easy for the team to maintain this result so far." The implication is that not everything is smooth. The target of the Guangdong men's basketball team is the young players, the famous Zhou Qi was injured, Zhao Rui left the team, and now the painful period of the replacement of the old and the new, but it really made the Guangdong men's basketball team feel the pain.
"Like Xu Xin and Zhao Xuhong, these four are players that other teams don't want. Du Feng said bluntly, isn't this a big slap in the face of the players? This is your worth? This is your market value? Don't blame Du Feng for being ruthless, he also watched these children grow up from rookies.
In the game, it is not terrible for the Guangdong men's basketball team to lose, but Du Feng stressed, "Everyone must recognize their own gaps." It's as if these young players are still in the wild and don't know what their level looks like. This can't help but remind people of the old saying, "Shame and then courage", but now it is "knowing the gap and then courage".
Looking at this game from the perspective of Guangdong fans, it seems to be synonymous with Du Feng's tiredness. The talented Xu Xin, but the fans can't understand his defensive choices and standing problems, as if he hasn't realized the cruelty of the professional league. Zhao Xuhong suddenly made two mistakes, as if he was performing the magic of uncertain factors, and Du Feng could only sneer helplessly on the bench.
The forwards of the Xinjiang men's basketball team are almost all more than 10 centimeters smaller than the Guangdong interior players, but they frequently gain rebounding advantages on the inside. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. These interior players, from their thinking to their importance to the game, don't seem to be up to the needs of a playoff team. Elsewhere, they would have been missing from the 12-man roster.
Yang Ming once said that young players in the CBA need to "fight for every ball", and emphasized that recognizing the cruelty of professional sports, the coach uses you does not mean that you are good. This remark is aptly applied to the young players of the Guangdong men's basketball team, especially Zhao Xuhong as an example. He is no longer young, but the fans feel that he lacks the awareness of active competition, especially in terms of rebounding protection and competition, it seems that it is difficult to meet the needs of the team.
Behind the consecutive defeats of the Guangdong men's basketball team, there seems to be a deeper problem. On the basketball court, the situation is changing, and there are often more insiders and challenges behind the record. Let's delve into the various difficulties of the Guangdong men's basketball team and how this once-dominant team has risen in the face of adversity.
First of all, let's review the Guangdong men's basketball team this season. Last season, despite reaching the quarterfinals of the playoffs, his outstanding performance in the regular season made fans look forward to the new season. However, after the start of the season, the team fell into a series of setbacks, losing to Liaoning, Xinjiang, and even some relatively weak teams, which makes people wonder, what is going on?
Du Feng's public criticism may be a kind of venting, but behind it may be dissatisfaction with the team's overall performance. Young players have become scapegoats, but what is the problem? In the game, the team's interior line is frequently lost, and rebounding becomes a fatal injury, which is not only a personal problem of young players, but also a tactical and training shortcoming.
From a tactical point of view, the defensive strategy of the Guangdong men's basketball team seems to be problematic. Does the frequent use of height to score on the inside reflect the inadequacy of the defensive system? In the game, it is difficult to see teams adjust their formations in a targeted manner to better counter the opponent's advantage. This may be something that the coaching staff needs to reflect on and improve.
And from a training point of view, Du Feng's accusation may not be unreasonable. The level of effort of the young players cannot be overshadowed on the field, and the dedication in training determines the performance in the game. However, the problem may not just be the individual quality of the players, but also the overall atmosphere and approach to training. A good team needs not only talented players, but also a rigorous and efficient training system.
What's even more worrying is that the season's losing streak has dropped the Guangdong men's basketball team to the lower part of the standings. Although there is still a second half of the game, it will not be easy to catch up with the teams ahead. This also makes people wonder if the Guangdong men's basketball team was a little too arrogant under the hegemony in the past, ignoring the rise of the opponent, and now it has fallen into passivity.
The team's management's recruitment strategy is also worth rethinking. Before the start of the new season, the Guangdong men's basketball team experienced the departure of Zhao Rui and the injury of Zhou Qi, which was undoubtedly a big blow to the team. The suitability of the replacement players and the degree to which they are integrated into the team's tactics have become a problem for the team at the moment. Management will need to carefully assess the composition of the squad so that it can make adjustments when the transfer window reopens.
Returning to Du Feng's criticism, perhaps this is also a fierce way for him to wake up the team. In his words, there may be an expectation for the players, hoping that they will be able to bounce together in the face of difficult times and regain their former glory. However, it is also debatable whether this fierce criticism will have a positive effect and whether it will make the players work harder.
The fans' frustration and concern are understandable. They support not only a team, but also a symbol that represents the glorious history of basketball in Guangdong. Behind the losing streak, it is not only the team's defeat, but also a nostalgia for the past glory. What the fans need is not just a win, but also to see the team regain the confidence and strength it once had.
In the face of difficulties, the Guangdong men's basketball team may not only need criticism and accusation, but also a positive change and adjustment. Management, coaching staff and players need to work together to get to the root of the problem and take effective steps to address it. On the basketball court, a truly strong team needs to not only smile brightly when it wins, but also stand firm when it loses.
