On March 24, Beijing time, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Beijing Enterprises 121-107, completing the season sweep of the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team, and at the same time, it also achieved a perfect eight consecutive victories, becoming the only undefeated team in the third phase of the CBA. Triggering the keyword "Beijing", Hongyuan's 38-year-old veteran Weems played another amazing performance, he played 25 minutes, hit 13 of 21 shots, and scored a game-high 32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in 2 of 4 three-point shots, becoming the biggest contributor to Hongyuan's victory. In fact, since entering the third stage, Weems has had a highlight performance every time he plays a strong team, scoring 24 points in the first time playing North Control, 32 points in the second time, 22 points in Liao Basket, and 23 points in Shandong. Hongyuan's eight consecutive wins in the third stage are directly related to Weems' continuous outbreak, and it can be said that without Weems, it may not be possible for Hongyuan to play such an outstanding performance today.
But this is the kind of player who can still lead the team to the championship at the age of 38, and he was not favored by any team in the offseason last summer. After ending the cooperation with the Shanxi men's basketball team, no team in the CBA extended an olive branch to Weems, and in such a predicament, Weems could only play in the 3x3 basketball league to maintain his competitive state. And after the start of this season, if it weren't for the unsatisfactory selection of Guangdong Hongyuan's foreign aid and the team's urgent shortage of forward talents, Zhu Fangyu would not have remembered Weems, who had played for the team for many years. It can be said that Weems' return to Hongyuan's return to the CBA was completely accidental, and even at the beginning of the signing, almost no Hongyuan fans thought that Weems' return would end in a good ending. The main reason why everyone generally didn't look good at Weems at that time was that Weems was really old, at the age of 38, he was an "old player" in any basketball league, and he could still maintain a high level of competition at this age, and there may only be James in the NBA.
Just when everyone, including Hongyuan fans, was not optimistic about Weems, only Du Feng always firmly believed that Weems could do it. In Du Feng's view, although Weems is old, he has not suffered major injuries that have affected his career, and although his ability has deteriorated, it is not a big problem with the help of the system. Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu's "small bet" won the bet. After the adjustment of the third period window, Weems recovered his physical and competitive form, and after entering the third period, he completely exploded, playing at the level of the past three consecutive championships on both offensive and defensive ends. Despite his age, Weems can still complete a 4-second fast break and can still complete all kinds of exaggerated man-blocking dunks. Under his leadership, Hongyuan played a terrifying wave of eight consecutive victories.
A reporter once asked Weems how old he was. Weems smiled indifferently and said that he was "indeed 38". When it comes to age, he never hides the facts. But Weems also proved with practical actions that hard work always pays off, and he, like James, has been exercising for ten years, and has not relaxed the polishing and polishing of his body for a single day. At the age of 38, he can still be so strong, in addition to talent, he is more about hard work! I hope Weems can continue to maintain such an excellent state and lead Hongyuan to another championship!
