CBA New Year's War ushered in the Guangdong Derby, Shenzhen Marco Polo team hosted Guangdong Hongyuan, if purely from the past record, the Shenzhen team should be at an absolute disadvantage. But the eleven-time champion Guangdong Hongyuan, who has suffered 12 defeats this season, has significantly reduced its dominance. Although the Shenzhen team, which was the first to propose to win the championship this season, has been repeatedly hit, the current ranking does not really reflect their strength. It should be said that the overall strength of the team is not actually under the grand reach.
In the derby, it should be said that both teams played very carefully, it was more like a playoff-level game, with both sides putting defense first. In the first half of the game, both sides did not score highly, and there were no more than 30 performances in a single quarter, and the score of 47 draws should be able to reflect the stalemate on the field. But in the third quarter, Guangdong Hongyuan's offense began to lose power, and the Shenzhen team at home began to control the initiative, playing a score of 26-18 in a single quarter, this eight-point advantage also laid the final victory, Guangdong Hongyuan was not able to erase the difference in the fourth quarter, and finally the two sides fought 97-90, Guangdong Hongyuan South China Tigers lost to Shenzhen away to usher in two consecutive defeats.
The loss in this campaign seems to be uneventful, but for Guangdong Hongyuan, the recent games seem to be really in crisis, with two wins and four losses in six games, and the number of defeats this season has also come to thirteen, which is basically unimaginable in the past. What's more, this is still with Zhou Qi playing, and it is a hard battle, and the team has suffered consecutive defeats. At this time, do Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu still have the idea of using Zhou Qi as a savior? From the high-profile announcement that he wanted to win the championship, now there are more losses and fewer wins. It is said that the year is closed, and Hongyuan seems to have really met the year pass this time. For Guangdong Hongyuan, which has a glorious history, this season may really break the worst record in 20 years.
Note that this is not alarmist! In the next game, we will play against Chouzhou Golden Rent, and Waters will also be suspended for accumulating physical fouls. Losing should be another high probability event, what is the concept of 2 wins and 5 losses in seven games in the end?
In the past, as soon as Guangdong Hongyuan lost, Du Feng would put the responsibility for the defeat on the young players, in fact, this game once again told Du Feng that the responsibility for the defeat is not entirely on the young players. More or the collapse of Guangdong Hongyuan's defensive system, this game Shenzhen team did not rely on the crazy attack of foreign aid to win the game, Sallinger's 5 points plus Adams's 19 points is not as good as Waters' 25 points. But He Xining scored a career-high 44 points. This is actually acceptable to Du Feng?
After the game, Du Feng put the responsibility for the defeat on the so-called external factors, but in fact, the referee's punishment in this game was relatively fair, and there were not too many external factors. Hongyuan's loss is more like an internal cause.
It's nothing new for players to score the highest points in Guangdong Hongyuan this season, from 50 points from Jilin's Rakosevic at the start of the league to 63 points from Tianjin's James in the last round. What is the championship mode that Hongyuan has opened this season, it is clearly the mode of opening the light to the opponent. It's a bit like last season's Shandong High-speed, basically every game can always make the opponent have a score ** point.
Guangdong Hongyuan's dominance has seriously declined this season, in fact, it has a lot to do with the reconstruction of their defensive system, from the moment the old captain Zhou Peng left the team to Yi Jianlian's retirement and then Zhao Rui's departure, although Zhou Qi was supplemented. However, Guangdong Hongyuan's defensive system is actually gradually disintegrating in this process. Zhou Qi can't replace Yi Jianlian, Ren Junfei is a thug, not the core material at all, as for Zhang Haojia and Zhang Hao and other forwards, there is no comparison with Zhou Peng. And Zhao Rui's departure is equivalent to announcing the complete rebuilding of Hongyuan's outside defense system, Waters is not a replacement for Zhao Rui, and Zhang Wenyi is a big colander on the defensive end.
In two years, Hongyuan dismantled the defensive project through his own efforts, and as a result, Du Feng could still announce that he wanted to win the championship in a high-profile manner. Both Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu are using the way of consuming the main squad to cover up the problems of their team building and the cultivation of young players. The main lineup such as Hu Mingxuan is over-consumed, while young players are not cultivated. This is the problem that Guangdong Hongyuan fans should pay attention to, and now Guangdong Hongyuan is more like an inbreeding base, completely lacking in vitality, and it is all sophisticated.
