Although Hongyuan entered the reconstruction period after Yi Jianlian's retirement, Zhao Rui and Zhou Peng's departure, every meeting between the two sides is still the event that all fans pay the most attention to! In the U19 National Championship that ended not long ago, the Guangdong Hongyuan U19 team finally defeated Liao Basket U19 93-64 through four quarters of competition, and won five consecutive victories! In this game, the core players of the two youth teams faced each other for the first time, Hongyuan's "little bomb" Peng Shijun got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Huang Qiushi of Liao Basket got 20 points and 10 rebounds, and the two sides were evenly divided. However, the overall strength of Hongyuan's side is stronger, in addition to Xiao Peng, there are four players who scored double-doubles, "Xiao Zhao Rui" Chen Jiazheng 15 points and 8 rebounds, Yang Yi 13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, Zhang Huafei 10 points and 4 assists, Li Yizhen 11 points and 4 rebounds.
Objectively speaking, the U19 lineups of Hongyuan and Liao Basket represent the highest level of the recent youth leagues of both sides. On Hongyuan's side, led by three members of the first team, plus the main national youth forces such as Yang Yi and Zhang Huafei and Chen Jiazheng, a newly recruited five-star high school student from Naigao by Zhu Fangyu, the lineup is not luxurious. Liao Basket has the strongest young player Huang Qiu in the past five years, and young players such as Li Yaxuan and Liu Xingyan also have good strength. However, after a real head-to-head battle, there is indeed a large gap between the two sides. Hongyuan's U19 competition, in addition to the first game of careless defeat to Shenzhen, the next five games all won, and Liao Basket is a bump, can win Guangsha can also lose to Shenzhen, and finally Hongyuan defeated Liao Basket by 29 points, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the strength gap between the two sides.
On Hongyuan's side, Peng Shijun is still the thickest thigh in the team. He only played 17 minutes in this game, making 4 of 7 two-point shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and cutting down 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks. Judging from the scene, Peng Shijun's talent is indeed beyond class, and Huang Qiushi, the strongest in Liao Basket, cannot resist the impact of the "little bomb". Xiao Peng's tonnage of 2.06 meters and 110 kilograms is enough to crush most of the defensive players in the U19 league. It's no wonder that Peng Shijun plays with a casual attitude, and his defense is even more casual, after all, his strength is really strong, and he can easily lead the team to win without going all out. Of course, in the first team, Du Feng will never tolerate Peng Shijun's playing attitude, which is the main reason why Xiao Peng has not been able to get the opportunity to play in the first team so far!
In addition to Peng Shijun, Chen Jiazheng, who is known as "Little Zhao Rui" by fans, also played a highlight performance. Chen Jiazheng played 25 minutes, shooting 6 of 12 and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 15 points, 8 rebounds and 1 steal. As an outstanding seedling that Zhu Fangyu dug up in campus basketball with the strength of "ten cows and two tigers", Chen Jiazheng perfectly integrated into the Hongyuan system in just five games. Excellent physical fitness, solid basic skills are the place where fans appreciate him, and what is even more rare is that Chen Jiazheng plays conscientiously and has a very good attitude, and remains humble and works hard silently after coming to Hongyuan, no wonder some fans bluntly said that Chen Jiazheng is a natural "Hongyuan person"!
