Basketball game, that's a bloody field. Imagine that in the first game of the semi-finals between the Guangdong team and the Liaoning team, Coach Du Feng stood on the sidelines, his eyes were a little nervous and a little expectant. He knows that tonight's game is not just an ordinary matchup, this is a testing ground for youth, and it is a stage for the growth of the young players of the Guangdong team.
Having said that, the Guangdong team can be described as "things are not people", the team is obviously younger, and many main players are absent due to injury. In the pre-match interview, Du Feng's tone not only revealed his trust in young players, but also did not hide his worries. He stressed that except for Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie and Du Runwang, several playoff veterans, the other lads are all new faces. Undoubtedly, the main lineup of the Guangdong team is relatively young.
What about the Liaoning team opposite, they are the defending champions and have a lot of experience. Du Feng bluntly said that the Guangdong team needs to learn from Liaoning's "big brother", after all, the opponent's strength and experience are very strong. Among them, Liaoning's interior line has tough guys such as Han Dejun, Fu Hao, Li Xiaoxu and Moreland, and their performance under the basket can always bring great pressure to the opponent.
However, tonight's game may not be the biggest challenge for the Guangdong team, but the Liaoning team. As Du Feng said, the shortage of people on the inside and forward lines is serious, coupled with the absence of Zhou Qi and Ren Junfei, the pressure on the Guangdong team in rebounding and defense has doubled. Zhou Qi was originally the big gate under the basket, and Ren Junfei's defense and rebounding were also important pillars of the team. Without the two of them, the Guangdong team's interior defense has almost become a shortcoming.
In his pre-match speech, Du Feng mentioned that he was tolerant of young players, saying: "If you play well, you will naturally be praised, and if you don't play well, you don't need to be overly harsh, they are still learning and growing." This sentence undoubtedly gave the young players great confidence and relieved the pressure.
But Du Feng also pointed out that he wants to see young players on the field to show hard work and the spirit of daring to fight. It's not just a game, it's a test of character and will. He expects that in such a high-pressure environment, young players can make breakthroughs and let people see the hope of the future of the Guangdong team.
The competition on the field is brutal, but it is also fair. Every pass, every breakaway, every shot, can be the key to winning the game. In such an environment, the young players of the Guangdong team will face a good opportunity to grow.
This game, regardless of the result, is a valuable accumulation of experience for the young players of the Guangdong team. As a celebrity said, "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared." In this Liaoyue war, what we see is not only the competition of ball skills, but also the excitement of youth and the enthusiasm of growth.
Let's look forward to these young players of the Guangdong team to shine on the field, and let's wait and see how they break out of the cocoon and become butterflies in the challenge. And what are your hopes for the future of these young players, and what surprises will they bring us in the future of the game?
