The ban has come miserably! Waters fouled six times in the game, misbehaved and became a bad player on the court, five turnovers made him a stumbling block on the night of the loss, and his three-point shooting was disappointing, hitting just three of his 12 shots.
Since joining the CBA, Waters has received six physical fouls in the second period. He is easy to get up on the pitch and has a vindictive move. Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu were also aware of his problem, but Waters did not change his teachings.
Before the derby against Shenzhen, Waters had actually been covered with five physical violations, and only one more uncool behavior would have him to be banned from the league. Both teams showed intensity on the defensive end of the pitch in this game.
In the first half, Shenzhen's bench warrior Sun Haoqin, in the process of defending Waters, had a pulling action, and the scale was relatively large. After the video replay, the referee decisively blew a foul. The two formed a bond and even had a skirmish. In the second half of the decisive battle, Waters stretched out his leg to trip Sun Haoqin, and this action made him also receive a physical violation. This is his sixth physical foul this season, and he will miss the next game against the Zhejiang men's basketball team.
Waters' uncool behavior put the team in trouble again. He didn't play well in this game, he made 3 of 12 three-pointers in the game, and although he contributed 25 points and 8 assists, his offensive efficiency was very low, and he also had 4 turnovers. Shenzhen adopted the method of redeeming the son, and used Sun Haoqin to constantly consume him, which was very effective. Once Waters is on the top, he goes on a rampage and his shooting percentage drops dramatically.
He is actually a double-edged sword for the Guangdong men's basketball team at present. He is prone to emotional swings, and once he loses his cool, he chooses to use brute force, which causes great harm to the team. Against Heshining, Waters was not very aggressive defensively. In the case of mood swings, it is really difficult for him to play at his full strength.
Waters' most significant problem remains his character, which severely restricts his development. At the end of the second period, the Guangdong men's basketball team is likely to experience a painful series of three consecutive defeats. Zhu Fangyu's recruitment has not progressed, causing the whole team to fall into a new predicament.
Under the performance of Zhang Haojia and Ren Junfei, who started the line, they only contributed 2 points and 5 fouls in the whole game. This performance has lowered the overall level of Guangdong's forward line. Du Feng was reluctant to Zhang Hao's opportunity, but he gave great trust to Zhang Haojia.
His employment decision caused a lot of controversy during this time. Marchand is no longer the master of the altar at his peak, and he can't score as easily as he did in the past.
Due to the unsatisfactory allocation of foreign aid and the weak strength of the forward line, Guangdong is currently in a real trough. They had the worst regular season record in team history. And the season is not over yet, and this record may continue to be broken. Guangdong has now lost its backbone, its defense has collapsed, and the team offense has disappeared, and now they can only be regarded as an ordinary team, and they have fallen out of the first echelon!
