On October 30, Beijing time, Guangdong Hongyuan finally lost to the bitter zhejiang men's basketball team after four fierce battles, and did not qualify for the seven consecutive wins of the new season. In this game, in addition to the first quarter of the UAE League up to score 10 points, Hongyuan slightly took a lead, most of the time the Zhejiang men's basketball team pressed Hongyuan to play, after Zhao Rui was plagued by fouls and no one effectively defended Wu Qian, Wu Qian and Yu Jiahao completely exploded Hongyuan inside and outside, almost turning the entire fourth quarter into garbage time. At the post-match press conference, Du Feng admitted that the team did not fight enough in this game, and after winning consecutive wins, his mind had relaxed, and losing this game was "a good thing". In addition, Du Feng also revealed the reason why Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui played in this game, it turned out that Hu Mingxuan himself was already unwell, this time it was forced to hold on, and Zhao Rui also had some injuries that could not be cured, resulting in the performance of both of them in this game.
After six consecutive wins in the new season, Guangdong Hongyuan's players are already very tired, after all, like Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie, these main players, after playing last season's CBA League, this summer is the national team, the National Games in a row, there is almost no respite. In this game, several defenders of Hongyuan did not perform well, especially Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui, one of the 4 out of 15 in the whole game, and a six-fouler who left the field was also added as a technical prisoner, which was indeed too hurtful for Hongyuan, who had the outside line as the core and the defender combination as the main attack point. And Du Feng also revealed the truth after the game, he said that Hu Mingxuan had symptoms of allergies before the start of the game, his body was not very comfortable, the game was completely hard topped, and Zhao Rui was injured with old injuries, plus the leg muscles gradually showed fatigue, and the overall state was also general. At present, Du Feng has transferred the core role of the team to the defender line, but Hongyuan has no qualified rotation guard except for black and white short, so that Zhao Rui, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie basically cannot rest, and it is difficult not to have problems in the long run.
After revealing the real reason for Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan's poor form, Du Feng criticized the team again. He believes that the team did not fight fiercely enough after coming up in this game, and the opening defense was relatively loose, digging a big hole for the losses later. Secondly, although he has been emphasizing the scramble for rebounds, he still let Zhejiang grab a lot of rebounds, and the awareness of the players, especially the young players, is still very lacking. After criticizing the players, Du Feng's face eased up a bit, saying that the league is very long, the team can not be complacent because of some consecutive wins, biased thinking, lack of concentration, and then hope that the players can adjust well and focus on the subsequent events.
Xu Jie, who spoke on behalf of the players, said that in this game, everyone did not follow the coach's arrangement and defended the key people in Zhejiang, and the two cores of Wu Qian and Yu Jiahao played out of the state, and the team was naturally difficult to win. In addition, Xu Jie also said that he did not take the initiative enough in this game, of course, the initiative of the whole team is very lacking, just like Du Feng said, rebounding and defense are not done well, and the other side is caught.
