As Du Feng, the coach, said, Guangdong was able to defeat Shandong, a team that had been performing exceptionally well this season and once ranked among the top three in the league, which greatly boosted the team's confidence. Upcoming, Guangdong will face several crucial positioning battles, such as against Qingdao and Beikong. Excitingly, after one night, Guangdong has welcomed three pieces of good news! The first piece of good news is that Xu Jie's injury is not serious. Xu Jie, who suffered injuries to his eye and arm during the match between Guangdong and Shandong, has been confirmed to have no major issues and can participate in the "Guangdong Derby" on Monday. Although the bruise around his eye is still noticeable, given Xu Jie's character, he will undoubtedly continue to persevere. The second piece of good news is that Hu Mingxuan is returning a month earlier than expected! Xu Qinwei, the commentator from the broadcasting platform, stated that Hu Mingxuan's recovery progress is very optimistic, and he is expected to return to the court a month ahead of schedule! The third piece of good news is that according to agent Dong Hao, Zhu Fangyu has basically determined the new reinforcement candidate and will announce it soon.
Xu Jie is known as the iron man of the Guangdong team. In the past 15 games, he only played less than 40 minutes in two matches. However, even the toughest can get injured, especially considering the unimaginable defensive intensity he faces every night. During the match between Guangdong and Shandong, Xu Jie's eye was poked and his arm was pulled, causing him to miss the final moments of the game, not because he couldn't play anymore, but because he was injured and couldn't continue! After the game, Chen, the boss of Hongyuan, personally came to the bench and sat next to Xu Jie to comfort him, with the two hugging each other intimately. Some fans commented that Chen should give Xu Jie the salary of a foreign player, as Xu Jie has become the de facto small foreign aid for Guangdong. Although there are still traces of bruising around Xu Jie's eye, overall, he is fine and can participate in the derby battle between Guangdong and Shenzhen on Monday.
Previously, Du Feng announced that Hu Mingxuan would need three months to recover. Du Feng's words are usually seven parts true and three parts false; the truth is that Hu Mingxuan does indeed need a longer time to recover, while the falsehood is that Hu Mingxuan doesn't actually need three months to return. After all, Zhu Fangyu invested heavily in hiring Ye En, the best domestic rehabilitation specialist, to come to Dongguan to help Hu Mingxuan with his rehabilitation training. Commentator Xu Qinwei stated that Hu Mingxuan can return a month earlier than expected, with the fastest possibility being in the last few games of the second stage. In fact, many Hongyuan fans hope that Hu Mingxuan won't rush and will fully recover before returning, as this time he injured his shooting hand, and it's not worth sacrificing his future for temporary results.
After cutting Les, Hongyuan has been actively searching for a new small foreign aid. Agent Dong Hao, who previously provided foreign players like Walters to Hongyuan, stated that he has recommended several candidates for small foreign aids to Zhu Fangyu. Of course, many other agents are also making recommendations, and the Hongyuan management needs time to weigh and compare them. According to Dong Hao, the small foreign aid he recommended has reached the finals and is waiting for Zhu Fangyu's final decision. Regardless, Hongyuan should announce the new small foreign aid candidate soon, as Xu Jie is really exhausted!
