Guangzhou Team Aims for Revival with "Stew Method," Seeking Two Consecutive Wins Against Shanghai
Guangzhou team is looking to make a comeback in their upcoming matches. Indeed, they have previously suffered an eleven-game losing streak, but Michel and his team have not been defeated by this setback. The only thing Guangzhou can do on the court is to showcase their skills and engage in fierce battles with strong opponents. After all, in the previous 20+ rounds of encounters, they have repeatedly achieved victories against stronger teams under Michel's leadership. Even though they still have a significant gap to bridge to reach the playoffs, from the current situation, Guangzhou still has the opportunity for a resurgence. With 14 rounds left in the regular season, they still have a chance to sound the clarion call of a counterattack. They now aim to rely on this "stew method" to defeat Shanghai and achieve a new round of two consecutive wins. Can they succeed? Let's find out together!
This has become an answer that all fans want to know. In terms of overall strength, Shanghai holds an absolute advantage, not to mention that they have previously created new miracles in team history. This has not only further consolidated the foundation of young players but also improved their chemistry with the foreign player lineup. Especially the highlight cooperation between Lofton, Wang Zhelin, Li Hongquan, and Li Tianrong has given many strong teams a hard time. However, from the current situation, this is obviously just the beginning for Shanghai, a start that allows them to continuously reach new heights. In future regular-season games, they will continue to break through their new limits. Even when facing strong teams like Liaoning, Guangdong, Xinjiang, and Guangsha at full strength, they will not retreat, because only those who dare to fight can win!
But what kind of move is Michel's "stew method" that has given Guangzhou the confidence to upset Shanghai on the road? After all, Lu Wei's strong team genes have fully awakened! In the view of Basketball Brother, the core of Michel's move is very simple, which is the organic combination of the "chaos" and "fast" methods. The fast method not only allows Guangzhou's current lineup to exert stronger combat power on the court but also forms extreme consumption for interior players such as Wang Zhelin, Lofton, Wilson, and Li Hongquan. As long as Guangzhou can persist with this tactic, they will quickly take control of the rhythm on the court. At the same time, players like Zhang Xingliang, Yuan Zhaoyao, Crawford, and Li Xiangbo need to engage in full-court battles with variables like Wang Zhelin, Li Hongquan, Li Tianrong, and Lofton and maintain the intensity throughout the game.
If competition experience and ball skills are lacking, then make up for it with effort. When they slow down Shanghai's offensive rhythm through high-intensity defensive tactics, they will directly increase the likelihood of turnovers during their dribbling process. The moment an opportunity arises, Douglas, Ma Ke'ao, and other players need to completely disrupt the offensive rhythm, which is the essence of this chaotic method. Only in this way can Shanghai always be kept guessing about Guangzhou's moves, which instead gives Guangzhou more possibilities in the game. And engaging in chaotic battles is exactly Douglas' forte; he certainly wants to prove himself through results, proving that he can also be a key player in helping Guangzhou win. Since Ma Ke'ao can do it, there's no reason Douglas can't. Not to mention, Douglas is only 26 years old this year.
This means that he is at the peak of his physical strength and energy on the court, as mentioned earlier, he also wants to demonstrate his value again through results, hoping to secure a more lucrative contract when the new season arrives. Therefore, as long as Michel dispatches him, he will definitely play at his peak. Just like the upcoming Shanghai-Guangzhou battle, they are clearly determined to win. What about away challenges? What about the arrival of a new wave of fatigue? The young players of Guangzhou can only do one thing at the critical moment, which is to draw their swords whenever they encounter an enemy. Although they cannot yet cause bloodshed on the court, they must push their peak combat power to new heights. This is something they must do; only in this way can Guangzhou have the possibility of a comeback and launch a new assault towards the playoffs.
As for Shanghai, they also want to win this crucial Shanghai-Guangzhou battle. Because Lu Wei not only wants to help his disciples regain confidence but also wants to test more tactical combinations to ensure that their outside shooting ability remains at its peak at critical moments, which is crucial for Shanghai's journey in the playoffs. Moreover, with the restart of the four quarters, seven-person double foreign aid policy, the gap between them and strong teams like Liaoning, Guangdong, Xinjiang, and Guangsha has been further narrowed. Lu Wei and his team definitely want to seize this opportunity to strive for even higher achievements this season. Even as the regular season progresses, the challenges Shanghai faces in the future will become increasingly intense, but Lu Wei and his team will not take a single step back. They will only engage in fierce battles with strong opponents at critical moments to defeat as many strong enemies as possible.
If we ask here, after Michel unleashes this "stew method," can Guangzhou really upset Shanghai on the road and achieve a new round of two consecutive wins? As mentioned earlier, Shanghai has now fully demonstrated their form. In the opinion of Basketball Brother, Michel's chances of success have reached 60%! After all, Guangzhou has now been pushed to the brink of a cliff. If they still cannot start a new winning streak, it is not ruled out that they will be completely shut out of the playoffs. Such a result is something that not only the fans but also Zhong Zhaolin do not want to see. Therefore, the players of Guangzhou obviously have a strong desire to avenge their previous defeats. Now that they have unleashed this "stew method," they must push the power of this move to new extremes. In this case, Shanghai really might capsize in a gutter!
