CBA Old Firm
Guangdong Hongyuan (soccer team)
The result was a shocking 99 - 110 loss to the Mountain West in the opening game of the new season.
Guangdong Hongyuan was in extremely bad shape in this game. Players move slowly on the court, the offense is clueless, as "a plate of scattered sand", the defense is also full of loopholes, Shanxi team can easily score, whether inside or outside, Guangdong Hongyuan is suppressed by Shanxi team without any power to fight back.
Guangdong Hongyuan's players seemed like they were still in the offseason, and they were in a downward spiral throughout the game. In this game, Guangdong Hongyuan had no bright spots to speak of. The former king of the division performed extremely poorly in both offense and defense.
On the offensive end, tactical cooperation is almost non-existent, players fight separately and lack teamwork. Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie as the team's main force, in the opponent's tight defense, but also difficult to play, especially in the fourth quarter of the key moment, by the opponent completely limited. The team also lacks a core player who can control the whole game, and the scoring point is not stable, the offense is even more difficult.
Defensively, Guangdong Hongyuan's once tough defense is gone, and the intensity has dropped significantly. Especially inside, the lack of height problem exposed, rebounds by the Shanxi team, lost 25, of which 18 are offensive rebounds, which allows the Shanxi team to get a lot of second chance.
Seeing this kind of performance, fans began to worry whether Guangdong Hongyuan will become the league's "fish belly" team. If you can't make timely adjustments, Guangdong Hongyuan is likely to continue to lose in the next games, and the winning percentage is not optimistic.
The team needs to identify a core player and find a stable scoring point. At the same time, the use of foreign aid strategy also needs to be reconsidered, you can increase the playing time of Xu Xin and reduce the playing time of Ren Junfei. The coach needs to identify the problems and make adjustments as soon as possible, such as identifying the core of the team and focusing on developing newcomers.
Although the first loss is painful, but one game can not decide the whole season. Guangdong Hongyuan is a strong team with heritage and experience, as long as timely adjustments, find a suitable playing style, still have the opportunity to achieve good results. Of course, we should also look squarely at the current challenges and find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, otherwise we may continue to fail in subsequent games. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the development of the whole CBA League and look forward to more exciting games in the new season.
