In the much-anticipated 2023-24 CBA playoffs, Sun Minghui, the core guard of Zhejiang Guangsha, who has experienced a difficult injury process, is about to usher in a comeback moment.
In the first two games, Schweder, another pillar player of Guangsha, was also unable to play due to a serious strain, which undoubtedly made Guangsha even worse in the play-off stage. As the leader and soul of the team, Sun Minghui's return has undoubtedly injected a strong impetus into Guangsha, whether his comeback can help the team tide over the difficulties, let us follow the moving story of this young insider.
Sun Minghui: A resolute inside superstar
Looking back on Sun Minghui's basketball road, it can be said that it is a process of ups and downs, tenacity and perseverance. Born into a sports family, he was nurtured and nurtured by his family since he was a child, and soon showed a sense of ball and athletic talent beyond his peers. In various youth training and national team competitions when he was a teenager, Sun Minghui showed outstanding performance, frequently won various honors, and was regarded as the backbone of the future CBA league.
In 2018, Sun Minghui officially joined Zhejiang Guangsha, and once he appeared, he attracted widespread attention inside and outside the alliance. With excellent interior control, strong offensive performance and relentless fighting spirit, Sun Minghui quickly grew into the core and dominant force of the Guangsha team, and also established his position in the league. In the 2019-20 season, he averaged 15.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game to help the team reach the finals.
Just when Sun Minghui's career was taking off, fate began to play a cruel joke on him. In the fall of 2020, while training for the new season, he unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury, and after more than a year of hard work, Sun Minghui finally returned to the ring. But shortly after the start of the 2021-22 season, he suffered another muscle strain in his left leg and had to miss most of the season again.
During this time, Sun Minghui's mental journey can be imagined to be full of helplessness and pain. As a professional footballer, his physical condition often determines his future development, and frequent injuries have undoubtedly cast a shadow over his career. But even in the face of such great adversity, Sun Minghui still did not give up, he gritted his teeth, insisted on rehabilitation training every day, and worked hard to recover his state.
It was with this perseverance that Sun Minghui finally overcame many difficulties and returned to the field in the 2022-23 season, and quickly returned to peak form. In the regular season last season, he averaged 15.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, leading the Cantons back to the playoffs and playing well in the playoffs, becoming one of the key factors in the team's victory.
It is such a tenacious interior superstar who is about to re-emerge in this season's CBA knockout tournament and inject new impetus into the team. No matter how steep the road ahead is, I believe that Sun Minghui can rely on his tenacious will and excellent ball skills to once again present a wonderful "inside battle" for fans.
Schweed's sad moment
However, just when Sun Minghui was about to return to the game, Schweide, another pillar player of the Guangsha team, suffered a serious injury. According to the team's head coach Yang Xuezeng, Schwade is currently unable to play due to a severe muscle strain, and the injury has taken a long time to recover, and there is still a lot of uncertainty about whether he will be able to play in the next game in the future.
For Guangsha, a young team with potential, Schweder's injury is undoubtedly a disadvantage to make matters worse. As the team's starting center, Schweder's outstanding performance has been the key to Guangsha's victory. In the regular season, he averaged 14.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, and his strong control and excellent scoring ability on the interior greatly improved the team's overall strength.
In the just-concluded play-off game, Schweed also played well, contributing 18 points and 9 rebounds to the team. However, just before the start of the second match, he suffered a severe muscle strain and was unable to continue playing. This undoubtedly hit the team's morale and cast a stronger shadow on the already difficult road to the knockout round.
For Schweed, the arrival of this injury is undoubtedly a huge blow. As a professional player, you fight for a championship every season, but when you are so troubled at a critical moment, you will inevitably feel frustrated and helpless. Especially for a player who is still in his prime, such an injury has undoubtedly cast a shadow over his career.
However, we are confident that Schweed will face the injury with a positive and optimistic attitude and will do his best to recover as soon as possible under the careful care of the medical team. After all, for a young team with potential, Schweder's addition is undoubtedly a valuable asset, and his outstanding performance has also allowed Guangsha to establish a good reputation in the league. Therefore, as long as Schweder can recover and return to the game as soon as possible, I believe that he will definitely return to his best form and provide strong inside support for the team to advance to the finals.
Sun Minghui's comeback
And just when Schweider's serious injury made Guangsha worse, Sun Minghui, another core player of the team, was also about to return to join. According to official information, after a period of active recovery training, Sun Minghui's left leg injury has improved, and he is expected to return to the field in the next play-offs to inject new vitality into the team.
For Sun Minghui, this is undoubtedly a momentous moment. After two seasons of injury, he finally has the opportunity to return to the game, which will undoubtedly bring him a lot of pressure and challenge. But we believe that with Sun Minghui's tenacious and unyielding character, he will be able to regain his best form and bring key insider support to Guangsha.
Judging from past performance, Sun Minghui is undoubtedly an indispensable key player for the Guangsha team. His excellent interior control, strong offensive strength and excellent rebounding touch have always been Guangsha's magic weapon on the inside end. In last season's play-offs, Sun Minghui played even better, averaging 16.3 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, becoming an important factor in the team's victory.
His return this time can not only fill the internal void caused by Schweder's absence, but also inject new vitality and fighting spirit into the team. With the addition of Sun Minghui, Guangsha's advantages on the inside end will be further highlighted, not only can create more trouble for the opponent on the offensive end, but also can exert stronger control on the defensive end.
In addition, the return of Sun Minghui will also greatly boost the team's morale and fighting spirit. As the soul of Guangsha, his joining will undoubtedly inspire the whole team to unite and strive for the goal of the season. The return of core players at a critical moment will undoubtedly inject new impetus into the team, which is undoubtedly a great benefit for Guangsha, which is facing a difficult knockout road.
Of course, Sun Minghui's comeback road was not all smooth sailing. In the long process of recovering from injury, it remains to be seen and waited whether his form can quickly return to his peak level. Coupled with Schweder's injury troubles, the pressure on Guangsha on the inside end is also greater. However, we believe that as long as Sun Minghui can find his best form in a short period of time, with his outstanding performance and fighting spirit, he will definitely bring key support to Guangsha, and finally help the team successfully advance to the next round.
All in all, in the face of the haze of injuries, the return of the core players in the Guangsha team has undoubtedly injected a new impetus into the team's future development. Whether it is Sun Minghui's tenacious comeback or Schweide's expected return in the future, it is believed that it will bring key support to Guangsha in the knockout round. As long as the whole team is united and gives full play to its own advantages, I believe that it will create unexpected results this season and present a wonderful CBA battle for fans.
