Chen Guohao, who joined the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team as the champion, can be said to have had twists and turns this season, with occasional outbreaks but most of them are in a downturn, of course, there is a problem with the coach's use of him, but it is also undeniable that there are more or less deficiencies in personal aspects. After coming to 2024, Chen Guohao suddenly broke out, not only getting the highest score in his career, but also sitting in the rotation. I thought that I could cash in on my talent, but I never wanted to fall into the slump again, even if coach Min Lulei gave him a lot of playing time, but his performance on the field was really not flattering.
In the home game against the Tongxi men's basketball team, Chen Guohao came off the bench for 14 minutes, did not score a point in 3 shots, and once again played an embarrassing 0-point performance. Especially in the face of several big players of the Tongxi team on the field, there is basically no advantage at all, even the proud movement speed no longer exists. You must know that Chen Guohao's height itself does not have an advantage, if he can't rely on speed to suppress the opponent, then it is really useless on the field.
In fact, it is inevitable for rookies to hit the "rookie wall", such as Zou Yang, who is also a top hit. When he first entered the league, Zou Yang's performance was also very good, and he had been unanimously recognized by the team and the coaching staff, but after coming to the second stage, he suddenly fell into a slump, and was even beaten into the cold by the team coach for a time. Fortunately, Zou Yang has his own housekeeping skills, that is, his performance on the defensive end is extremely good, and his height and long arms make him the "CBA version" of Leonard.
Zou Yang can contribute an average of 134 points and 10 rebounds, many of which were big double-doubles. Even if the score is not high on the offensive end, he can still do very well on the defensive end, and his protection of rebounds and his strong ability to have a sensitive sense of smell have made Zou Yang an out-and-out best rookie. Judging purely from this season's performance, Zou Yang should be the real champion, and Chen Guohao may not even be able to enter the top five.
The reason why Chen Guohao's performance fluctuates a lot is not unrelated to the composition of the team's lineup, for example, Zou Yuchen, the core of the inner line this season, has played well, and he seems to have the style of his former peak. In addition, the big foreign aid Sampson has more and more playing time, which indirectly squeezes Chen Guohao's playing opportunities. Once Chen Guohao's performance is sluggish, the team will not give him enough time to adjust, after all, the competitive pressure in the team is really very high.
Compared with Zou Yang's seamless connection, the reason why Chen Guohao is difficult to integrate into the team is also related to his personal skills and tactics and height, simply put, he has not completed the transformation of the CBA and the university league, and this is also Chen Guohao's most obvious disadvantage at present. Because Chen Guohao's height is short, only more than 2 meters he can call the wind and rain in the college league, but he has no advantage in playing inside at this height in the CBA, so he will perform so the court, and the occasional flash performance is also due to the stability of his outside projection, so if you want to gain a firm foothold in the team, you must transform to have a foothold in the league.
Chen Guohao's performance so far this season can only be described as average, but if he enters the playoffs, his playing time will definitely be reduced again, so there are only two paths in front of Chen Guohao, one is to transform from the inside line to the forward line, and develop the offensive ability with the ball, which is also what Zou Yang needs to learn. The other is to seek a transfer to a team that can give you more playing time. Otherwise, if you stay in the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team, I am afraid that you will not get the playing time you deserve, and you may even become a parallel commodity because of this.
