Guangdong Hongyuan has welcomed two consecutive victories, and coach Du Feng has deployed an unexpected strategy to face the strongest Shandong men's basketball team. While Du Feng jokingly referred to Xu Jie as a "small foreign aid," it also reflects the less-than-satisfactory aspects of Guangdong Hongyuan's foreign aid introduction strategy. However, it would be unfair to declare it a complete failure, as there are still two foreign aids, Jilunwater and Morland, to rely on. As for Lais, his departure is a foregone conclusion, and whether he can make it into the 12-man roster in the future remains uncertain.
Next, Guangdong Hongyuan will play at home against the Shandong men's basketball team, which is in excellent form. Coach Du Feng intends to use a surprise move by arranging Jilunwater and Beizeli to play together, aiming to launch quick counterattacks with their speed advantage. On the other hand, Shandong men's basketball team will undoubtedly rely on Chris as the key player in the game, but he must remain calm at all times, be wary of the opponent's defensive strategies, and avoid emotional outbursts. This match will be broadcast live on CCTV5.
One of the major challenges currently facing Guangdong Hongyuan is the redundancy of personnel in the frontcourt. Jilunwater has become the team's top foreign aid, followed closely by Morland, while Beizeli, Wang Shaojie, Du Runwang, and Ren Junfei all possess the ability to play in the frontcourt. However, the backcourt seems to be in short supply, with Xu Jie almost having to play the entire game, and Huang Rongqi, although in good form, struggling to fill the No. 1 position.
To address this dilemma, Coach Du Feng plans to adjust the tactical layout by increasing the height advantage of the perimeter players. Xu Xin will receive more playing time, while Beizeli and Jilunwater will join forces to guard the front line, and Du Runwang will flexibly switch positions based on the situation on the court.
One of the highlights of this game is undoubtedly the matchup between Jilunwater and his former team, as he will face off against Chris, who has recently been performing outstandingly. In terms of individual abilities, both have their advantages and are evenly matched. However, given Shandong men's basketball team's recent remarkable record, fans' attention has gradually shifted to this new favorite.
In fact, Coach Du Feng could consider assigning Morland to defend Chris, forcing him away from the basket and instead opting for long-range shots to reduce his threat.
Shandong men's basketball team is currently in high spirits but must also be wary of the risk of emotional outbursts. Players such as Yu Dehao, Chris, and Gaili are prone to getting emotionally carried away during games. Considering that Guangdong Hongyuan's defensive strategy will undoubtedly be tough, Shandong men's basketball team players need to pay extra attention to controlling their emotions.
