In the CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Shenzhen 91-84 in an away game. This victory was hard-won for Guangdong, as they faced challenges with few players stepping up and Xu Jie experiencing discomfort. Despite these difficulties, they managed to maintain their lead and secure the win.
Four players delivered perfect performances throughout the game. Notably, for Wat, he was able to carry the team during the first half when there were no clear scoring opportunities. Although his performance in the second half was not as explosive as the first, he still managed to score 38 points, demonstrating his determination to hold the situation. Xu Jie also played exceptionally well, contributing continuous points in the final moments and maintaining control of the ball to stabilize the game, finishing with 9 points and 7 assists.
Zhang Haojia has been performing exceptionally well recently, particularly in his ability to score while holding the ball, reaching peak form. He remained tough during the game, scoring 2+1 and accumulating 14 points overall. On the defensive end, he also completed his tasks effectively, successfully regaining his top form. Xu Xin also had a commendable performance, maintaining perfect finishing inside and limiting opponents defensively, recording 12 points and 3 blocks, consistently delivering at a high level.
Bazley and Ren Junfei gave passable performances. Bazley's finishing was slightly lacking in this game, but he showed a positive sign by daring to break through with the ball. His defense and rebounding remained solid, and it is hoped that his offensive game will gradually improve. Ren Junfei, although not having a major breakout, contributed 7 rebounds and facilitated plays effectively, maximizing his value.
Morland, Huang Rongqi, Du Runwang, Yang Yi, Wang Shaojie, and Zhang Wenyi all had disappointing performances. Morland may still be affected by the flu, which caused him to lose rhythm throughout the game, struggling both offensively and defensively. Huang Rongqi shot 1 out of 9 with 3 turnovers, showing no form. Du Runwang scored 0 in 4 minutes, possibly due to poor form.
Yang Yi initially defended well in the first half but struggled offensively, shooting 1 out of 8 in the entire game, indicating a need for reflection and growth. Zhang Wenyi scored 0 in 10 minutes, clearly failing as a shooter. Wang Shaojie also underperformed, committing mistakes upon entering the game and only playing for 7 minutes in total.
