In the CBA, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Liaoning with a score of 98-82 and won the match point in the semifinals. However, there was a discordant scene in the victory celebration in the dressing room. When head coach Du Feng high-fived the players in celebration, he accidentally ignored the three players, Li Yingbo, Zhao Xuhong and Peng Shijun, a detail that quickly attracted widespread attention from the outside world.
As the helmsman of the team, Du Feng's behavior undoubtedly has an important impact on the morale and unity of the team. Although Li Yingbo, Zhao Xuhong and Peng Shijun were unable to play in this game, their figures cheering for their teammates on the sidelines also deserve respect. However, the cold reception they received in the dressing room seemed to indicate that their place in the team was in jeopardy. In fact, as the season has progressed, the opportunities for these three players have become less and less, especially with the rise of young players Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin, Li Yingbo and Zhao Xuhong have gradually marginalized their position in the team. Although Peng Shijun is talented, it is difficult to get more opportunities to play due to his training attitude.
On the road of pursuing higher honors, the optimization and adjustment of the lineup of Guangdong Hongyuan team is inevitable. For players who are not part of the team's future plans, leaving the team may become a reality they have to face. In this process, how to balance the overall interests of the team and the emotions of individual players is a difficult problem for the club's management.
In the world of competitive sports, victory and defeat always go hand in hand. While pursuing victory, Guangdong Hongyuan team should also pay attention to the growth and psychological state of each player. After all, the cohesion and centripetal force of the team are the real cornerstones of winning the game. For the future of Li Yingbo, Zhao Xuhong and Peng Shijun, we can only give them the best wishes, hoping that they can continue to move forward on the road of basketball and find their own stage.
