The second phase of the CBA league is coming to an end, and two-thirds of the regular season has passed, and the league pattern is basically clear, with Liao Basket, Xinjiang and Zhejiang forming the first echelon of the championship. Guangdong Hongyuan, who shouted for the championship before the start of the season, is currently only ranked fifth in the league with a record of 25 wins and 13 losses, and has lost 13 games so far, which has also created the worst regular season record in the history of Hongyuan. The collapse of Hongyuan's season cannot simply be attributed to a single player or coach. The retirement of the main force of the dynasty, the inaction of the management, the stinginess of the boss, the stubbornness of Du Feng and the incompetence of the young players led to the end of the Hongyuan dynasty under the combined effect of many factors.
After Yi Jianlian retired and Zhao Rui transferred, as the only remaining absolute main force of the Hongyuan Dynasty, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie should stand up and assume the responsibility of Hongyuan's revival. It's a pity that so far, neither Hu Mingxuan nor Xu Jie have been able to play the performance that everyone expected. Especially Xu Jie, after Zhao Rui left, his various statistics did not rise but fell, averaging 26.6 minutes per game this season, only 11.3 points, 3 assists and 2.4 rebounds, which is a huge gap with last season's average of 11.8 points, 5.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 28 minutes per game! The defensive efficiency ranks 161st in the league, PER ranks 100th in the league, and what is even more surprising is that Xu Jie, who has regressed in an all-round way this season, was bluntly praised by fans as a CBA All-Star, and almost squeezed out Sun Minghui to become a CBA All-Star starting guard!
When the black and white dwarf combination still existed, Xu Jie was the most inconspicuous, but he was also the most loved by fans. Because everyone thinks that although Xu Jie is short, he has a very high ball quotient, and all kinds of small skills are also full, and more importantly, he is very focused on the court and plays very hard, which can be called a model of "playing CBA with ordinary talent". But after becoming famous, Xu Jie seems to be more and more floating, and his concentration on training and competition has decreased significantly. You may have heard a little about all kinds of lace news outside the field, but to be honest, the athlete is not an idol or a star, and the standard for everyone to evaluate him is whether his results are excellent, as long as he has hard power, he is not afraid of gossip from others. How did Xu Jie respond to the question? We didn't see his strong and powerful response, only saw him playing crazy iron on the court and all kinds of outrageous performances, not at all like the "court elf" of the past.
Maybe some fans defended Xu Jie, saying that he didn't play well this season because he didn't have big foreign aid to play with him, and he didn't have room to play with sticky foreign players like Marchand and Waters. But have you ever thought that Xu Jie's talent is average, and it is impossible for Hongyuan to build a team lineup around him, what Xu Jie has to do is not to let the team adapt to him, but to work hard to adapt to the team. No matter which foreign aid he cooperates with, Xu Jie should seize every opportunity and shoot that damn empty three-point! Yi Jianlian scolded Xu Jie on the court back then, ostensibly scolding him for not receiving the ball and causing his own mistakes, but in essence, he pointed out the fatal problem of Xu Jie's lack of concentration and lack of self-confidence! I hope Xu Jie can put his attention back on training and games, and don't really make himself the most overrated star in the CBA!
