Before the match against Liaoning, Guangsha was the only team in the league that was unbeaten, while Liaoning lost to Shanxi in the fourth game, but even so, the head-to-head confrontation between the two teams was regarded as a major play. Although Guangsha once led by 4 points in the first quarter, in the second quarter, Liao Basket relied on Guo Allen to blow the counterattack horn, and returned their wave of 38-23 climax in the single quarter, which also surpassed the score, and finally broke the unbeaten record of Guangsha 112-100, while also allowing itself to usher in a wave of 3 consecutive wins in the near future.
Although this Liaoning basket completed a good reversal, but as the chief substitute of Dahan, Zhu Rongzhen exposed a lot of weaknesses in this game, on the books, it is true that he got 6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but in fact, this data is obtained in the garbage time that has been decided in the second half of the game, in the case of Liao Basket winning 12 points, Zhu Rongzhen's plus-minus value is only the second-to-last -6 of the whole team, that is to say, in the 16 minutes he played, the team lost 6 points. In fact, Yang Ming is not without a chance for Zhu Rongzhen, in the first quarter he played for 7 minutes, but during this period he did not shoot 1 time, but made 2 times of the rules, in the face of Hu Jinqiu, Xu Zhonghao, these old predecessors, Zhu Rongzhen can not stop them from tearing the inner line of the Liao basket, if it is not the role of Dahan to play the role of the sea god needle (25 points and 14 rebounds), the Liaoning basket wants to rely on Zhu Rongzhen to pick the inner line beam, it is indeed a bit far-fetched.
Compared to last season's best 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in Liaoning Basketball, this season Zhu Rongzhen seems to have returned to the slump of the team he had just joined at the time, with 7 games of war, averaging only 5.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, shooting just 50% from the field, for an interior player, such shooting accuracy is indeed not outstanding. Not only was he sluggish on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Zhu Rongzhen also failed to find the state of last season. In the previous games against Jilin and Tongxi, which were not strong in the internal strength, Zhu Rongzhen was completely invisible, basically relying on Fu Hao and Dahan to take on heavy responsibilities in the penalty area and being a father and mother.
And Liaoning basket also seems to realize that the inside line is still a weak link, has recently announced the signing of former Shanxi Dawai Eric Moland, the 2 meter 08 big man, although the offensive end is not outstanding, but in the defensive end is indeed one of the league's top defensive toughsters, last season for Shanxi played 40 games, Morland averaged 14.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 2 blocks per game, and if Morant returned in the second stage, Zhu Rongzhen, who was still in a slump, was afraid that he would really become a water dispenser player.
Although the current average rebounding per game of Liaoning Basket ranks first in the league with 51.1, but basically rely on the 34-year-old Han Dejun and a Fu Hao who has only 1 year of playoff resume in the bitter support, but where one of the two suffers from injury, Liaoning Basket will definitely return to the pre-liberation front overnight in the penalty area, so it is also a wise move to choose a defensive-oriented big outside, but it is also a wise move, to know that last season in the finals, Liao Basket was completely exploded by Guangdong's fire-fighting Big Outside Thompson in the forbidden area, such a 34-year-old blue-collar big man, in the finals completely restricted Han Dejun, locked the opponent's inner core , but also basically mastered half of the life of the Liaoning basket, and finally the Liaoning basket missed the championship again, and the internal disadvantage is absolutely the key.
Although only 22 years old, Zhu Rongzhen has been playing in the CBA for 5 years, and it is true that these two years have indeed made great progress after being loaned to Liaoning Basket, but he still has a long way to go to gain a foothold in the league and show his playing temperament at key moments. Because he was loaned to Liaoning by Shandong, it is still unknown whether he can stay in Liaoning in the future, but whether he continues to stay in this championship-winning favorite, or returns to Shandong after that, or continues to switch to other places, Zhu Rongzhen must work hard at both ends of the attack and defense, according to his current strength, as an ordinary rotation of the team can be said to be more than enough, but if he wants to take on a more important role and stand on a higher stage later, he must overcome the bottle strength he is currently encountering.
