The plight and future of the Guangdong team: Zhu Fangyu's adjustment plan caused fans to think
Guangdong is a legendary team in the CBA League, which has won the championship ten times and created countless glories. However, in recent years, this once-king team has fallen into a trough and faced various challenges and doubts. Under such circumstances, general manager Zhu Fangyu has become the focus of fans' attention, and whether his adjustment plan can bring the Guangdong team back to the top has also become a controversial topic.
This article will analyze the current situation and future of the Guangdong team from the aspects of Zhu Fangyu's response, foreign aid problems, echelon coaching, internal problems, squad upgrades and the introduction of large foreign aid, and discuss Zhu Fangyu's leadership style and impact on the development of the team. First of all, we have to review the moment when Zhu Fangyu responded to fans on social platforms. It's a humorous and witty answer, and a show of unwavering confidence in one's own management's decision.
When the fans were dissatisfied with the performance of the two foreign aids, Waters and Marchand, and asked to replace them, Zhu Fangyu said: "If you want to change foreign aids, it is better to replace myself first." This answer has aroused a lot of interest in his leadership style, and it will be a matter of interest whether the general manager, who has both a sense of humor and dares to laugh at himself, will be able to hold the helm and become the leader of the team in difficult moments. Second, we need to see how Zhu Fangyu handled the issue of foreign aid.
Foreign aid is a major attraction in the CBA league and an important reflection of the team's strength. Guangdong's two foreign players, Waters and Marchand, have been worrying recently, and fans' expectations and trust in them have gradually decreased. However, Zhu Fangyu gave them firm support, believing that they were teammates in the team and would not give up on them easily.
This kind of support is not only a recognition of the individual strength of the players, but also a commitment to the team spirit. In a game against Xinjiang, although the team trailed by 27 points at one point, Marchand scored 18 points in the final moments, earning the team applause and respect. This also proves that Zhu Fangyu's decision is correct, and the state and confidence of foreign aid can be restored through support and encouragement.
Third, we have to pay attention to Zhu Fangyu's criticism and adjustment of echelon coaches. The echelon is the reserve force of the team and the hope of the team's future. However, there are serious problems with the echelon coaches of the Guangdong team, the basic skills of the young players are not satisfactory, the offense is single, and the defense is inadequate.
This makes one have to question the level and responsibility of the echelon coaches. Zhu Fangyu unabashedly pointed out that the team's echelon coaches need to make adjustments and not let the potential of young players be buried. In particular, Du Feng's angry criticism of Zhao Xuhong shocked the entire echelon coaching team.
On the court, Zhao Xuhong's performance was unsatisfactory, and Du Feng's dissatisfaction with him was overflowing. This begs the more fundamental question of whether the Guangdong team needs to carry out a drastic reform of the interior line. Next, we will analyze Zhu Fangyu's views and handling of the internal line problem.
The interior is an important support for the team's defense and rebounding, and it is also a powerful complement to the team's offense. However, there are obvious deficiencies in the inside line of the Guangdong team, Zhao Xuhong, Zhang Mingchi, and Li Yingbo, the three inside players, Zhu Fangyu believes that they have completely lost the value of training. This begs the question of whether the team should bring in more quality interior players to provide stronger support to the forward line.
The answer to this question may be known in the future trading market. In Zhu Fangyu's adjustment plan, he revealed the plan to bring in big foreign aid, but at the same time, he also emphasized the trust in the existing players, believing that the team needs not only foreign aid, but also all-round players who are both internal and external. This line of thinking makes people wonder whether the Guangdong team will become a team that pays more attention to overall teamwork in the future, rather than just relying on individual stars.
Finally, we will discuss Zhu Fangyu's plans for squad upgrades and his vision for the future of the team. In the criticism of the team's problems, Zhu Fangyu did not stop there. He revealed a plan to upgrade the squad, and the key figure in this is Peng Shijun.
The young player has high hopes and has been arranged by the general manager to travel to the United States for special training. Zhu Fangyu's expectations for Peng Shijun are self-evident, and he and Huang Mingyi will become the core figures of the Guangdong front in the future. This plan is undoubtedly a major adjustment to the future development of the team.
However, just as the team is about to usher in a new development, Zhu Fangyu has made a more interesting point: the team may not need to rely on too many newcomers. He believes that in the existing lineup, Zhao Jinyang, who has defensive ability, can completely replace some players with a single offense. This assertion may be echoing the fans' expectations for the introduction of big foreign aid.
However, it remains to be seen what kind of effect relying on newcomers to strengthen the team will bring.
The Thunder blitzed, the Wizards were powerless, and the NBA East and West matchups reappeared in disparity
The NBA is the highest level of basketball in the world, and every game is full of passion and competition. Sometimes, however, the outcome of a match also reflects the difference in quality between the two teams, or even between East and West.
On January 9, Beijing time, an East-West matchup showed such a situation, the away Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Washington Wizards 136-128, the Wizards suffered five consecutive defeats, while the Thunder won three in a row. Thunder's offensive firepower, the Wizards' defensive leakage In this game, the Thunder's offensive firepower was amazing, with a shooting rate of 54.8% from the field and a three-point shooting rate of 48.6%. Their starting five all scored in double figures, with Shay Gilgeous-Alexander scoring a game-high 35 points, along with seven rebounds and five assists.
His partner, Lou Dort, also had 27 points, including six three-pointers. Not to be outdone, the Thunder's bench contributed 15 and 14 points, respectively, with Ty Jerome and Alexei Pokusevski adding 10 rebounds to complete a double-double. In contrast, the Wizards' defense was fragile, allowing the Thunder to score easily without putting too much pressure on their opponents.
They had just four steals and three blocks in the game, while the Thunder had nine steals and seven blocks. The Wizards' defensive holes put them on the back foot, and even if their offense was good, they couldn't close the gap. The Wizards' leader is absent, the Thunder's young core grows in this game, and the Wizards' leader, Bradley Beal is absent due to a leg injury, which hits the Wizards hard.
Beal is the Wizards' leading scorer and NBA's leading scorer, and his absence has deprived the Wizards of their most reliable offensive weapon. While other players have tried to fill the void, it hasn't worked out as well. Of the Wizards' starters, only Spencer Dinwiddie scored more than 20 points, finishing with 23 points and nine assists, but shooting just 38.1 percent from the field.
Other players were also inconsistent, such as Karl Kuzma with 13 points and 6 rebounds, Danny Avia with 9 points and 4 rebounds, and Daniel Gafford with 8 points and 5 rebounds. The Wizards' bench didn't give much support either, with only Montes Harrell and Kyle Kuzma scoring 18 and 16 points, respectively, with the rest of the players contributing limitedly. The Thunder, for their part, showed the growth of their young core, with an average starting age of just 23, one of the youngest teams in the NBA.
Their players all have a lot of talent and potential, as well as a lot of fighting spirit and team spirit. They are constantly attacking and defending in the game, not giving their opponents any chances. Their leader, Gilgeous Alexander, has become one of the NBA's stars, with a high level of scoring, rebounding, assists and steals, as well as excellent ball handling and breaking.
His partner, Dort, also has strong defensive and shooting abilities, and he can limit the opposing scorer and also shoot key three-pointers from the outside. The other players of the Thunder also have their own characteristics and strengths, and they cooperate with each other to form a team with strong cohesion and competitiveness. The NBA's East-West showdown, reproducing the huge disparity in this game, once again reflects the disparity between the NBA's East-West showdown.
Although the Thunder are the second-to-last in the West, they have an 18-24 record, which is better than the eighth-place Wizards in the East. The Wizards have a 15-28 record, and they're four wins behind the seventh-place Cavaliers in the East. This shows that the competition in the west is more fierce than in the east, and the teams in the west are stronger than the teams in the east.
