The 26-year-old Waters is at the age of strong blood, and Zhu Fangyu affirmed his ability during the live broadcast, but also pointed out his problem, that is, his personality is short, and it is too easy to get up. Because his strength is very strong, he is now a little arrogant. If the opponent provokes him or is treated unfairly by the referee, he will immediately use a retaliatory move or use an unreasonable shot. Once he's on the top, it becomes hard to control.
Du Feng has been coaching for so many years, and he has never encountered such a difficult foreign aid. Against Jilin, Waters once again received a physical foul. Since joining Guangdong, he has personally received 5 physical violations. In private, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng also communicated with him many times, asking him to adapt to the culture of the CBA league and control his emotions.
But Waters didn't seem to listen, and he continued to go his own way on the field. Coach Du knows very well that Waters must be reformed, otherwise when it comes to the key battle of the playoffs, the old problem he fell in love with will definitely hurt the team. In the battle with Jilin, Du Feng limited Waters' right to shoot.
In the first half, Peterson went on a rampage and scored 17 points in a single quarter. Du Feng asked Waters to stay calm and continue to comb the attack. In the last game, he was allowed to shoot three points, which led to Guangdong's loss, so Du Feng will not continue to let him play blindly. After retracting his unlimited right to shoot, the right to attack came to Hu Mingxuan. The All-Star vote champion scored 16 points in a single quarter to respond to Peterson.
Waters has gone from being a core of unlimited shots to a support player, and he may have had some psychological swings. In the third quarter, he and Jiang Yuxing began to fight, when the opponent fouled the referee and did not blow. Waters was in the offensive round, and was defended by Jiang Yuxing to the point that he stumbled a little. It may be that he is dissatisfied with the referee's blowing penalty, or it may be that he feels uncomfortable with Jiang Yuxing's defensive actions, and Waters directly elbows.
His elbow hit the back of Jiang Yuxing's head, and many players in Jilin rushed forward to ask for an explanation. The referee held Waters tightly behind him. At this time, Hu Mingxuan stepped forward to protect him as soon as possible. Seeing Waters' move, Du Feng was very annoyed.
He just took Waters down and told him to calm down. After communicating many times to no avail, he can only use this way to sharpen his temperament. After the game, the official media of the Jilin men's basketball team commented on Waters' action, and they clearly pointed out that Jiang Yuxing originally had a neck injury.
Waters has picked up five breaches this season and he really should stay calm. This incident touched Du Feng's bottom line, and Waters never played again after being replaced. Du guided the final battle and chose to trust Marchand. This meritorious foreign aid led the team to play team basketball in the last quarter, his tandem and finishing were qualified, Zhou Qi also ushered in a big explosion in the last quarter, and Guangdong finally took away the victory from Jilin!
