Before the start of the season, Du Feng said that Guangdong's goal this season is to play the playoffs, do not care about the regular season rankings, mainly to train young players, but playing, Guangdong team has won five consecutive games, the new season has not lost, high in the league list, many fans think that Du Feng is too Versailles. Du Feng said that the main thing is to train young players, so has Du Feng's purpose been achieved?
Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie, Zeng Fanri, Du Runwang, Wang Xiankai, these Mesozoic players, we will not look at it, look at the young players who have entered the Guangdong team in the past two seasons. The most outstanding is Zhang Haojia, the new season to play an average of 25 minutes per game, can get 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2 assists, shooting rate as high as 54.5%, three-point shooting rate as high as 54%, Zhang Haojia is now a bit of Du Runwang's taste, the outside three points are very accurate. The second best is Zhang Hao, who averaged 17 minutes per game in the new season and could get 6.2 points and 4.2 rebounds, as a highly mobile number four position, Zhang Hao needed to develop his own projection.
Zhang Hao and Zhang Haojia performed well in these two fronts, but the other two defenders, Zhao Jinyang and Malik, performed badly. Zhao Jinyang as a tall double guard of 1 meter 98, the performance remains to be seen, and the first out may be Malik, from last season to the new season, Malik's performance can be described by the three words "hot eyes", normal dribbling can be wrong, Du Feng can only smile bitterly. In the preseason, Malik played 57 minutes in two games, without scoring, and eight turnovers; the new season played four games to score a total of 1 point.
The relationship between Malik and Du Feng is extraordinary, the two are fellow countrymen, both from Urumqi, Xinjiang, Malik was brought to the Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team by Du Feng when he was very young, and was also selected for the National Youth Team, last year was promoted to a team, and the development of the professional league was not satisfactory. Hu Mingxuan was also brought to the Guangdong team by Du Feng, but Hu Mingxuan was already one of the best players in the CBA, taking the Finals MVP and entering the national team. Malik is indeed much worse than Hu Mingxuan in terms of talent and ability, and when Liu Quanbiao returns, as well as Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin, the Guangdong team does not have the position of Malik, and Zhu Fangyu will definitely trade or loan Malik. Going to other teams is not a bad thing for Malik, Fang Weibo, Liu Xucheng, Li Yingbo and Xu Mingzhi have gained a lot of playing time in Fujian.
