In the 9th round of the CBA regular season, Guangdong Hongyuan easily defeated Jiangsu Kendia 97-84, winning two consecutive victories again. In addition to the game, the Guangdong team also has three good news: the return date of foreign aid Weems has been determined, the coach Du Feng commented on the debut of newcomer Zhang Mingchi after the game, and praised him two points, and Tang Jie, who temporarily "lived in" the Guangdong team, ushered in great good news.
Although Guangdong Hongyuan officially did not release the news for the time being, Weems himself posted a "see you soon" dynamic through personal social media earlier in the day, which means that he will soon be able to meet with everyone, which means that Weems' entry procedures should have been completed and will officially leave for China in the near future to join the Guangdong team. As long as there are no unexpected situations like Jeremy Lin, Weems will definitely be able to play for Guangdong in the second stage, and the "black and white short" combination in the Guangdong backcourt will not be so tired.
For Zhang Mingchi, an interior newcomer who made his CBA debut in the match with Jiangsu, Du Feng also did not hesitate to praise in an interview after the game. First of all, Du Feng said that he saw Zhang Mingchi's potential and talent in 2018 and personally requested that he be recruited into the Guangdong team. At that time, Du Feng had just returned to the club from the men's basketball team, felt that the team's internal line was weak, and after watching Zhang Mingchi's several training sessions, he felt that he had a value worth cultivating, so naturally he reserved a seat for Zhang Mingchi in the first team in advance. Second, Du Feng praised Zhang Mingchi's determination to improve himself. Zhang Mingchi not only reduced his weight from 120 kg to 109 kg, but also insisted on doing half an hour of waist and abdomen training every day since entering the youth team, with the purpose of correcting his problem of hunching his chest. Even on the day of the competition, he will take the initiative to find a trainer to do special training. This is also one of the key reasons why Du Feng is very satisfied with Zhang Mingchi.
Subsequently, Du Feng also used Tang Jie as an example to talk about his strict requirements for young players. During the previous game, Tang Jie was directly reprimanded by Du Feng and rushed back to the locker room because he was sitting on the sidelines playing with his mobile phone. Du Feng said that he had already told Tang Jie that the requirements of the Guangdong team were somewhat different from other teams, and Tang Jie needed to adapt to the rules and rhythm of the Guangdong team as soon as possible. At the same time, Du Feng also said bluntly, "Tang Jie is also the kind of dilemma that no team wants him this season, and I know when I am a player that there is no way out, so I will give these players a chance, and I hope that the players will not waste the opportunity." The implication of this remark is that the Guangdong team has decided to sign Tang Jie in the window period, whether it can play it out or not, and stay to see Tang Jie's future efforts. This is tantamount to eating a reassuring pill for Tang Jie to train and improve himself with peace of mind, and then wait for the arrival of the signing window.
Foreign aid has returned one after another, Tang Jie has joined, Zhang Mingchi has appeared, another newcomer Xu Xin will also play at the end of December, Guangdong Hongyuan will show the thickness of the lineup of the championship league, and it must be the time for them to work together to launch an impact on the four consecutive championships!
