In the eleventh round of the CBA League, Guangdong Hongyuan hosted Sichuan Jinrong, looking at the historical records in recent years, it is estimated that no one will deny that the Sichuan team is Guangdong Hongyuan Sending points to the boy, in fact, during the three consecutive championships of Hongyuan, the Sichuan team sent points more outrageously than now, because they will give up in advance in almost every game against Hongyuan. Now we have to resist for at least a while.
There are no accidents in the process and result of this battle, Hongyuan basically fully controlled the game in the case of Zhou Qi's comeback, and there are no shortcomings in the internal and external lines, Du Feng should still be easy to deal with such an opponent. In the first quarter, the Guangdong team set the tone for the game with a high score of 38 points in a single quarter, which is definitely another big victory. As a result, the Guangdong team, which won four quarters in a row, finally won the opponent 121-94. The team is on a four-game winning streak.
Zhou Qi's timely comeback in the second stage is an important highlight of Hongyuan's game, judging from the game, Zhou Qi's body should have no problems, but Du Feng is still very careful with it, after all, this is his ultimate hole card of the season, and he can't be sloppy. Zhou Qi's return actually gave Guangdong Hongyuan an eye. It will make Hongyuan's offensive and defensive system really play what Du Feng wants. It can be seen from the game process that Zhou Qi is obviously not comparable to the young insiders that Hongyuan has cultivated himself, because he can bring more space and confidence to his teammates. Judging from this game alone, at least the three of them benefited a lot.
The first beneficiary should be the little foreign player Waters, who played 28 minutes in this game, with 27 points, 1 assist and 9 rebounds. It's easy to get a large quasi-triple-double data. The motivation is, of course, from Zhou Qi's pillar of optimism on the inside, and Waters finally doesn't have to worry about his assists being wasted. When Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu went to the World Cup to draft, and finally selected Waters, they actually hoped that he could have chemistry with Zhou Qi, at least this game was a good start.
The second beneficiary should be Hu Mingxuan, Hu Mingxuan's state has basically recovered this season, and the national team journey has brought him no longer pressure but confidence. However, the fragility of Hongyuan's inner line made their first lineup obviously lack internal support, so the Guangdong team played hard in many games, and Hu Mingxuan, as the absolute main force, actually took on huge pressure in this process. Now that King Zhou Qi has returned, the bamboo pole that supported the Hongyuan inner line suddenly turned into a steel bar. The pressure on the internal and external lines is actually reducing, and in this case, Hu Mingxuan is obviously more like a fish in water. The beautiful stats of 16 points and 7 assists in this game are enough to speak for themselves.
The third beneficiary is the center Zhao Xuhong, without Zhou Qi's days, Zhao Xuhong is actually Hongyuan's main inside, but his personal ability is indeed difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility. But after Zhou Qi came, his identity became Zhou Qi's substitute, which was completely different for him to face opponents, which gave him more opportunities to show himself, this game is the best example, with Zhou Qi's front charge, his ability to clean up the battlefield has been reflected, 8 of 8 shots, 16 points and 7 rebounds are season highs. This kind of cool feeling under the big tree is definitely refreshing.
Of course, there are people who have not benefited from Zhou Qi's return, he is guard Xu Jie, Xu Jie's 12 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds can only be said to be passing. But as the second team, Xu Jie has to cooperate with Ma Shang, which is indeed difficult. To tell the truth, whether it is Hu Mingxuan or Xu Jie now, as long as he partners with Ma Shang, he will be very tired.
Marchand's form this season has reached the point where he has begun to bottom out, scoring more than 20 points in just one game this season. Age and injuries are his worst enemies. This game is actually a clear example of this, shooting 2-of-11 from the field and shooting a measly 182%。He was the worst performer on the team. Realistically speaking, since Guangdong Hongyuan's goal this season is to win the championship, it should not sign Marchand, and should make a decision as if it rejected Weems back then. Weems was the hero of the three-time winning the championship, and the team abandoned it like a, but when it came to Marchand, he was hesitant. It's really puzzling.
Marchand's decline in form has been evident since last season. Let Xu Jie partner with the current Ma Shang, for Xu Zhongfeng, he can only help himself. Unless Hongyuan can also sign a qualified inside lineman. Otherwise, Xu Jie's data decline this season is basically a certainty.
