Guangdong faces Tongxi with double foreigners against four, can the double foreigners save the day?
The second match between Guangdong and Tongxi has everyone asking, "Can Guangdong win again?" Let's first look back at the previous battle where Guangdong defeated Tongxi with a stunning score of 128 to 88, a momentum that was more ferocious than a jet plane! However, this game is not simple. There have been some changes in Guangdong's lineup, especially in the foreign aid configuration, which has already "shrunk significantly."
The focus of this game is undoubtedly the foreign aid. Although Jilunwater and Morand have performed well in recent games, how can two people deal with Tongxi's four foreign aids? Look at Jilunwater; he has almost become Guangdong's "Iron Man" in recent games, playing over 40 minutes each time, as if he were about to move the basketball court home.
However, playing too much can also be tiring, and physical exhaustion is a major issue. Although he is in good form, whether he can continue to withstand the pressure remains questionable. As for Morand, although he is strong in defense and rebounds, he is facing four rotating foreign aids. Whether he can continue to hold on is still uncertain.
However, there is also good news for Guangdong - Du Runwang's return! Honestly, this is really great news for Guangdong. Awang is an outside shooter, with three-point shots being his forte, and his defense is not bad either. Although Zhang Haojia and Erfei's performances are sometimes inconsistent, Awang's return has made Guangdong's outside firepower even stronger! Whether he can regain his form and become the key figure in Guangdong's comeback is something everyone is looking forward to.
Of course, there is another point of the game that cannot be ignored, which is Xu Jie's duel with Tongxi's "Twin Stars" Guo Haowen and Lin Wei. In the first game, Xu Jie took the lead, scoring 15 points, 5 assists, and 3 steals, leading Guangdong to a big victory. But you know, Tongxi's twin stars are eyeing the opportunity, with Guo Haowen and Lin Wei combining for 33 points, almost taking the game into overtime!
What's more troublesome is that Hu Mingxuan of Guangdong is out due to injury, leaving Xu Jie with more responsibility on his shoulders. Having played so many games in a row for over 40 minutes, can his physical strength hold up? Will young players be able to withstand the pressure? These will directly determine the direction of the game.
Don't forget, this game is still played at Tongxi's home court, where Tongxi's morale is skyrocketing. No matter how strong the opposing team is, the support of home fans can instantly revive the team. Therefore, Guangdong is under tremendous physical pressure, especially when playing away games continuously. Whether they can maintain their physical strength and avoid collapse is one of the key points for Guangdong.
On Tongxi's side, the performance of the outside three-point shots will definitely be their secret weapon to counter Guangdong. At the same time, they cannot slack off on defense. Although Guangdong's attacking firepower is gradually recovering, it will not be easy to gain an advantage defensively.
Currently, the rankings of the two teams are similar, with Guangdong in 9th place and Tongxi in 10th. The upcoming games will directly affect the playoff ranking competition. If Guangdong can successfully "double-kill" Tongxi, their hopes for the playoffs will be greater. However, the question is whether they can keep up physically in the next few games against stronger opponents, whether the foreign aid can continue to perform, and whether young players can continue to break through, all of which will determine their future direction.
As for Tongxi, if they can maintain their good form at home, they are not without a chance. The rotation of foreign aid, three-point firepower, and defensive intensity will all be key factors in whether they can maintain their competitiveness.
Well, this match is destined to be a tough battle. Can Guangdong withstand the physical test and rely on the performance of foreign aid to complete the "double-kill" of Tongxi? This is a big suspense, fans, come and cheer for your main team! As the regular season comes to an end, the competition for playoff tickets will become increasingly fierce. The schedule for the next few rounds will not only determine the final direction of each team but also bring us more surprises and reversals!
