The 27-point reversal was broken by Du Feng, and Waters was killed, and the loss of 3 doubts was questionable
Du Feng's mistake wiped out Guangdong's 27-point advantage. Waters scored the winning goal near the end of the game in place of Marshon Brooks, but the end result was that Du Feng relied too heavily on Marshon Brooks. With just a two-point lead in six seconds, the Guangdong men's basketball team still had room to attack, but Marshon Brooks' fatal strike cost them any hope of winning. Du Feng's excessive trust in Brooks led to the end of the situation. Although Guangdong had a chance to counterattack, Du Feng had a disagreement on how to use it, which allowed them to win the final victory. It can be said that this time the victory was all because of Marchand, and the defeat was because of Marchand.
In the fourth quarter, Guangdong once pulled the score back to 25, but Du Feng insisted on sending Brooks, laying a hidden danger for this big **. In the final six seconds of the match, Guangdong took their final blow into their hands and were just two points away. But a careless dribble from Marshon Brooks gave them the chance, and in the end, Jones' two free throws helped Xinjiang to the victory. This mistake directly led to the failure of the Guangdong men's basketball team, and also turned the result of the game into a bubble. After losing Brooks' 18 points in the fourth quarter, it became more difficult for Guangdong to catch up with them, but if they were replaced by Waters, it would be completely different. This is one of the suspicious things.
Waters has been Guangdong's top scorer this season, and his consistent shots have been particularly trustworthy in the game. Perhaps, Du Feng should have sent Waters six seconds before the start of the game, instead of missing a decisive goal like now. Waters' efficiency was also on display in this game, as he was 7-of-11 from the field and 2-of-5 from three-point range, proving his threat to the team. In this case, Waters' good tactical awareness and excellent passing skills may give Guangdong a better chance. This is one of them.
Ultimately, due to Brooks' age, the 35-year-old veteran is sure to have physical problems after playing 12 minutes in the fourth quarter. Therefore, it is also very wise to send Waters to play. Waters has quicker movement and greater physical confrontation, and the opposition also has a chance to foul him in this situation. Waters' free throws gave Guangdong more chance of a comeback. That's suspicious number three.
Based on the above analysis, Coach Du Feng's tactical arrangement this season is problematic. Although he won the game by 25 points, he showed obvious hesitation at the end of the match. In the face of such a defeat, Du Feng may trust Waters more and let him appear in the game six seconds before the end of the match and have a chance to win. That's probably what a top coach looks like.
