On the evening of February 3, Guangdong Hongyuan played a fierce game with the Shenzhen team away, and finally lost 90-97. Shenzhen guard He Xining performed well, scoring 44 points. After the game, Du Feng, the head coach of the Guangdong team, expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee in an interview, believing that the players should not be affected by uncontrollable refereeing factors.
Du Feng said that the team did a good job on the defensive end, but there were mistakes in some fragments, especially in rebounding. He believes that the players have intermittent distractions during the game, resulting in conceding some goals that should not have been conceded. In addition, he mentioned that the players are not adaptable enough to external factors on the field, including emotional changes.
He stressed that the players should face these difficulties with determination, as they cannot change the external factors and can only focus on playing their own game. At the press conference, Du Feng once again said that the players should not worry too much about the interference and influence of the outside world, and should focus on playing their own games well.
He thinks that players are always thinking about external factors, which is not the mentality that a high-level athlete should have. Regarding Du Feng's remarks, Inspector Zhao, a basketball leader, believes that the referee is not the main reason why Guangdong lost to Shenzhen. He pointed out that Heshining's outburst was one of them, and the rest of the team didn't perform well enough, with a low three-point shooting percentage and more turnovers.
In general, Du Feng expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee in the interview, but also mentioned the team's own problems. He wants the players to be able to focus on playing their game well and not be distracted by external factors.
