Big changes have occurred among the players of Guangdong Hongyuan's first team! According to the registration list of the Guangdong team, a total of four players from the first team have been demoted to participate in the CBDL (China Basketball Development League) for the upcoming second stage of the competition. These players are Zhang Mingchi, Li Yizhen, Li Wenhao, and Li Yingbo. However, Zhang Haojia, who participated in the first stage of the CBDL, has managed to escape this fate as he was recalled by Du Feng due to his explosive performance during the first stage.
Among these four players, Zhang Mingchi is the most unfortunate. He has played several seasons in the CBA league, but his abilities have not improved much. With Xu Xin recently emerging, Zhang Mingchi has even fewer opportunities to showcase his skills. Now that he has been demoted to the CBDL, it seems Du Feng wants to refine and test him. If he performs as explosively as Zhang Haojia did, he might also be called back.
The purpose of Li Yizhen and Li Wenhao participating in the CBDL is clear: they aim to polish their techniques and enhance their abilities. Both of them have limited experience playing in the CBA and require more training. Their shortcomings on the CBA court are quite evident, with insufficient abilities. As for Li Yingbo, it seems he might be abandoned. Having played several seasons without showing any significant improvement, he has recently been sitting on the bench, unable to get any playing time.
