On the latest CBA standings, both Xinjiang and Guangdong men's basketball teams have achieved relatively ideal results under difficult circumstances. Xinjiang has won 18 games and lost 5, ranking fourth despite injuries to key players such as Wu Guanxi, Abudu Salamu, and Zhao Rui; while Du Feng's Guangdong team, with a record of 13 wins and 11 losses, ranks ninth, which is even more remarkable.
The success of both teams can be attributed in part to Huang Rongqi's departure from Xinjiang to join the Guangdong men's basketball team! This move has proven to be an absolute win-win-win situation for Xinjiang, Guangdong, and Huang Rongqi himself!
Xinjiang has gained space for development by releasing two key guards, Huang Rongqi and Yu Dehao. Why did they do this? The team has decided to focus on nurturing young talents like Yili Fulaati and Xierzati, further transforming the team with younger players!
Practice has shown that this decision was very correct. This season, Yili and Xierzati have performed impressively. Yili Fulaati, in particular, has shown potential to become 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 has found a breakthrough scorer in Huang Rongqi. His quick penetration ability has brought a different kind of impact to Guangdong! This season, Guangdong has been lacking in players who can 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 with Jiangsu, 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 struggled to secure a stable position amidst the talented lineup of Xinjiang, with playing time limited to around 15 minutes and scoring data dropping to below 5 points. In the 2023-24 season, his scoring dipped to a low of 2.9 points, significantly increasing the pressure to survive in the CBA.
After joining Guangdong, Huang Rongqi seized the opportunity provided by the team! He fully utilized his strength in breakthroughs, confidently choosing to force his way through, bringing an "instant 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.
