On the latest CBA standings, both Xinjiang and Guangdong men's basketball teams have achieved relatively ideal results under challenging circumstances. Xinjiang has secured 18 wins and 5 losses, ranking 4th, despite injuries to key players such as Wu Guanxi, Abudu Salamu, and Zhao Rui; while Du Feng-coached Guangdong team ranks 9th with a record of 13 wins and 11 losses, which is even more remarkable.
One of the important reasons for their success is Huang Rongqi's departure from Xinjiang to join the Guangdong men's basketball team! This move is an absolute win-win-win choice for Xinjiang, Guangdong, and Huang Rongqi himself!
Xinjiang team has gained space for development by releasing two major guards, Huang Rongqi and Yu Dehao. Why did they do this? The team decided to focus on cultivating young players like Yili Fulaati and Xierzati, further transforming the team with younger talent!
Practice has proven this decision to be very correct. This season, Yili and Xierzati have performed impressively. Yili Fulaati, in particular, has shown potential as a CBA star guard, averaging 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2 assists in the first 24 rounds, becoming an indispensable rotational player for the team; Xierzati averages 7.8 points and 1.2 assists, also performing well.
Guangdong team has found a breakthrough scorer in Huang Rongqi. His fast-breaking ability has brought a different kind of impact to Guangdong team! Guangdong team was in great need of players who could stretch the defense and score additional points within their existing system!
Huang Rongqi's arrival has filled this gap. He has now secured a starting position, averaging 20.6 minutes per game and scoring 6.9 points.
Huang Rongqi has experienced a "turning point." In fact, during the 2020-21 season when he played for Jiangsu team, he was a rising star in the league, averaging 9.2 points and 6.2 assists, showing signs of becoming a local core player for Jiangsu.
During the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, Huang Rongqi did not secure a stable position in the talent-rich Xinjiang men's basketball team, with playing time around 15 minutes and scoring data dropping to within 5 points, reaching as low as 2.9 points in the 2023-24 season, significantly increasing the pressure to survive in the CBA.
After joining Guangdong men's basketball team, Huang Rongqi seized the opportunity provided by Guangdong team! He fully utilized his strength in breaking through, confidently choosing strong breaks, and brought "plug-and-play" scoring efficiency to the team!
As the saying goes, "A change of scenery can bring new life," which is vividly reflected in Huang Rongqi's case.
