Zhao Jinyang was injured in the final moments of the regular season, and his injury has many fans worried about his career prospects, after all, it is a back injury. But before the playoffs began, he made his official debut. He was absent from the previous warm-up games and training, and now he appears on the training ground, indicating that there is a possibility of a comeback. Zhao Jinyang's defensive ability is quite good.
In the battle against Guangsha, due to the fact that there are more candidates in the back line, Zhang Wenyi and Li Yizhen may not be in standard form at present, so Coach Du did not arrange for them to enter the squad. Therefore, the heavy responsibility of defending Sun Minghui came to Xu Jie and Waters. Sun Minghui, as a top domestic point guard, is very strong.
Sun Minghui has excellent speed and confrontation ability, and although Xu Jie does not have an advantage in height, he is not afraid of his opponent at all in terms of confrontation. From the beginning of the game, he has been sticking to Sun Minghui. Director Du knows very well that as long as Sun Minghui is choked, once the inner line of Guangsha loses contact, their power will be greatly reduced.
After Sun Minghui was restrained by Xu Jie, Guangsha could only hope for Weatherspoon's individual singles. The effect of this trick is very limited. After all, basketball is a five-person sport, and if you want to compete against the powerful 11 champions on your own, it is difficult to take away the victory. Xu Jie was very successful in defending Sun Minghui, he made the opponent's emotions very impatient, and even the actions on the defensive end began to become very big.
But Xu Jie is the core player of the team, and letting him defend Sun Minghui will affect his performance on the offensive end to a certain extent. Although Xu Jie scored 20 points in the game, most of the points came in the third quarter, and he scored 16 points in this quarter. In the first half, he only scored 4 points on 2-of-7 shooting while expending a lot of energy on the defensive end.
If the team can have a defensive guard to limit Sun Minghui and let Xu Jie put more energy on the offensive end, the effect will definitely be better. Zhao Jinyang is a very good candidate. Judging from his appearance this time, the injuries in his body should be almost recovered. He has a chance to make his debut in the playoffs.
Zhang Hao's state during this period is not very good, and when the front line is fully staffed, there can be one more man in the backfield. Zhao Jinyang, Zhang Wenyi, and Li Yizhen are the three candidates for Du Feng's reserves. They have defense and three-pointers, and they can try it out in key games.
Zhao Jinyang can now train with the ball, and Coach Du arranged for him to watch the game on the sidelines, which should be infinitely close to a comeback. His return means a lot for the team. If he can play, the heavy responsibility of defending the opponent's arrow characters can be entrusted to him with confidence, and let Xu Jie devote himself to the offensive end, and the power will be greater!
