Zhao Jinyang did not appear at the training ground, and the back injury is likely to make him directly reimburse for the season. Without this defensive striker, Du Gui must add another third guard. After all, at present, there are only Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan as domestic defenders. In the high-intensity playoffs, such a manpower is not enough. Waters need more helpers, and Er Young needs someone to share the pressure with them at the back.
Judging from the training of the Guangdong men's basketball team and the warm-up match with the Hong Kong Golden Bulls, Coach Du has locked in the candidate for the third guard, that is, Zhang Wenyi, who performed well in the first stage. He started the second phase and hit the rookie wall.
Not only is the defensive end full of holes, but the offensive end is also a bunch of turnovers, and the three-point accuracy is also seriously declining. His continued slump forced Director Du to choose to give up on him. Instead, Li Yizhen and Zhao Jinyang were used. In the third stage, Zhao Jinyang seized the opportunity, and his defense impressed Du Feng and directly sat in the rotation.
Unfortunately, he was injured in the same city derby and has not been able to resume training yet. Guangdong rehearsed the lineup before the start of the top 8 matches. Zhang Wenyi, as the defender of the third team, appeared with Zhang Hao and Xu Xin and others. This shows that his recent state is in line with the needs of Coach Du. Compared with his rival Li Yizhen, Zhang Wenyi is more experienced, and his style of play is more sophisticated.
In the first stage, Zhang Wenyi staged a big heart moment many times. In the decisive moments, his three-point shooting was unrelenting. This characteristic is somewhat similar to the previous Wang Xinkai. In the vicious battle of the playoffs, Zhang Wenyi can be used as a surprise soldier. He needs to be a little more aggressive defensively on the pitch.
In the warm-up, Saidu chose Zhang Wenyi, and he will have a higher probability of being selected for the 12-man squad. I believe that Du Feng will give him some opportunities in the playoffs. But if Zhang Wenyi still hasn't improved, then Director Du can also give Li Yizhen a try. In fact, the domestic third guard is not a necessity for the Guangdong men's basketball team.
Just stock up on an extra hand, just in case you need it. With Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie, plus Waters, in fact, they can still top one. One more defender, one more option. Li Yizhen can defend against Xu Jie alone in training, and he can also let this national defender give it a try in the playoffs. Director Du has 2 candidates who can replace Zhao Jinyang's position.
This season, there are more young players in the team. In the main rotation, Huang Mingyi is only a first-year rookie. He's going to need to make it through the playoffs. In the first round of playing the Guangsha men's basketball team, the process will be very difficult. As Zhu Ba said, the Guangdong men's basketball team has no capital to despise any opponent, so it can only fight one game at a time!
