In the first 8 rounds of the 21-22 CBA regular season, Guangdong Hongyuan won 7 wins and 1 loss, and is currently ranked third in the standings, and the record has exceeded Du Feng's expected goal.
In the first stage of this season, Guangdong Hongyuan all-China class combat, Du Feng gave Yi Jianlian, Zhao Rui and other core players effective rotation rest machine time, more time to cultivate young players, but also to maintain a good record, it is not easy.
By observing the first 8 rounds of the league this season, it can be clearly seen that Zhang Haojia, who is in the third grade, has become a newcomer that Du Feng focuses on cultivating. So far this season, Zhang Haojia has averaged as many as 26.8 minutes per game, ranking only after Xu Jie and Zhou Peng, two core players, which shows that he has become Du Feng's most important young player.
Zhang Haojia is 2 meters tall, weighs 100 kilograms, has excellent physical fitness, excellent shooting basic skills, this season's three-point shooting rate is as high as 50%, strong defensive ability, no fear of confrontation, can stare from the first position to the fourth position, both ends of the attack and defense have shown good talent, which is also the main reason why Du Feng focused on cultivating him.
However, Zhang Haojia's shortcomings are also very obvious, such as the ability to hold the ball, the offensive means are too single, more play a fixed point pitcher, lack of independent offensive ability, which is the key point he is currently eager to improve. It is gratifying that Zhang Haojia has strong defensive ability, which ensures that he will get a lot of playing opportunities to exercise and improve in the future.
In recent seasons, Du Feng attaches great importance to the cultivation of young players, and the harvest is also very large, and the success of Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan has allowed Hongyuan to solve the problem of no one in the defender line for many years. On the front line, Du Feng will focus on cultivating Zhang Haojia, who will become Zhou Peng's successor.
