On January 10th, Beijing time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team hosted Qingdao Men's Basketball Team at home. The entire game was very tough. For Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, if Xu Xin had not unexpectedly appeared and disrupted the situation, it is possible that they might have suffered a defeat. However, fortunately, with the emergence of Xu Xin, as well as the efforts of Jijilunwote and Xu Jie, Guangdong eventually achieved an impressive five consecutive victories, which was unimaginable before the game. After narrowly defeating Qingdao Men's Basketball Team with a score of 105:96, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team received two pieces of good news and one concern after the match, which has sparked heated discussions among countless netizens.
Firstly, the biggest surprise of the night was undoubtedly Xu Xin's outbreak, which was completely unexpected. He also proved to be the trump card in defeating Qingdao Men's Basketball Team. In previous games, Xu Xin had not been given much playing time, and some netizens pointed out that if Morand had not faced a five-foul crisis, it is likely that Xu Xin would not have been able to play, and the game might have remained under the control of Qingdao Men's Basketball Team. However, the player who contributed the most to defeating Qingdao Men's Basketball Team was none other than Xu Xin. Although he is not the tallest, he can exert pressure on the opponent both offensively and defensively. More importantly, he scored 10 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and made 4 blocks in just 16 minutes on the court, which is a clear demonstration of his talent. In summary, he greatly ensured the defensive presence of Guangdong's rebounds, and Yang Hanshen, the opponent, could not recklessly attack Guangdong Men's Basketball Team's basket like he did against Morand. Therefore, Xu Xin's outbreak is definitely something to be very happy about.
Secondly, the performance of Guangdong's third foreign aid, Bazley, is also increasingly improving. Previously, there were always fans criticizing him for being unable to perform well in high-level games, but in this game, his combination with Xu Xin was quite intimidating. Moreover, his ball-handling decisiveness has been increasing in these few games, possibly due to psychological guidance from Coach Du Feng, so he has gradually opened up. However, compared to Jilunwote and Morand, who serve as the foundation for the team's foreign aid, it is obvious that Bazley can better help the team if he can open up offensively, just like tonight when he helped the team open up the situation.
The most worrying thing is that Guangdong Men's Basketball Team still has not found a substitute for Xu Jie. In tonight's game, the reason why Guangdong Men's Basketball Team was passive throughout the game was the lack of a substitute for Xu Jie. After all, in tonight's game, the most important reason why Guangdong Men's Basketball Team was in a passive situation was that they only had Xu Jie as their guard ball-handler.
Under the tight defense of the opponent tonight, Xu Jie found it difficult to pass the ball, although he still managed to put on a brilliant performance with his own abilities. However, this is very demanding on Xu Jie, and tonight he played for 46 minutes, which poses a definite risk of physical fatigue and injury for Xu Jie. Therefore, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team still needs to find a small foreign aid to replace Xu Jie; otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to go further in future games.
