In this game, Su Wei was replaced, and Du Feng's intention was obvious, that is, he hoped to use Su Wei's rebound to help Guangdong defend the inside. However, Su Wei's performance in this game obviously failed to complete the task assigned to him by the coach. The audience only got two rebounds, which is obviously unqualified for the height of 2. 12 meters. At the beginning of this season, the general manager of the team Zhu exchanged the price of Zhou Zhandong+Yang Jinmeng+Shao Yinglun+Liu Chuanxing+the permanent transfer of noble people for 30-year-old Su Wei, hoping that through his defense and body, Yi Jianlian could fill the vacancy in the offseason. It's not that the Guangdong team doesn't understand how bad Su Wei's technical level is, but that they take a fancy to his defensive ability. But after half a year, Su Wei's offensive ability has not improved, and even his defensive ability, which he used to be proud of, has seriously deteriorated. It can be said that the operation of "exchanging five promising stars for Su Wei" at the beginning of the season lost not only the competition, but also the future of the Guangdong team.
Zhou Zhandong, Yang Jinmeng and Shao Yinglun, who were replaced, were all one of the rotation lineups of Guangdong team in last CBA season. As an active national player, Zhou Zhandong is a strong player in both outside projection and defensive ability. Yang Jinmeng and Shao Yinglun are the key players trained by Guangdong team in recent two years. Take Yang Jinmeng as an example. This player, who was traded to Qingdao by Guangdong, has shined brilliantly in Qingdao this season. In the 26th round of the League, although Qingdao lost the match against Guangzhou, Yang Jinmeng's performance conquered Qingdao fans. In that game, Yang Jinmeng got 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists 1 steals. He shot 12 and hit 6 goals. He made 4 of 8 shots outside the three-point line, which was extremely efficient. This performance is by no means a flash in the pan. In the 25th round against Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team, Yang Jinmeng also played well. At that time, he scored 15 points, 10 made five shots, and the three-point line made three shots out of seven. At that time, his performance was also the basis for Qingdao to win Jiangsu. This season, Yang Jinmeng averaged 10.6 points and hit 3.5 three-pointers per game. However, in the face of such data, I don't know if the management of the Guangdong team who traded him has any regrets.
Guangdong team can dominate CBA for many years, relying on the strong youth training talent reserve. Wang, who was abandoned by Liaoning, Zhu, Zhou Junhua, who almost switched to hockey in Guangxi, and Yi Jianlian, the cornerstone of the team now. These people were regarded as hard stones by the mother team when they were young, but the Guangdong team called them rough jade. At the beginning of his tenure as team manager, Zhu was asked by reporters why he was so confident in the performance of his young players in the league. Zhu said that because our youth training club has given full trust to young people, they are the most precious wealth of the Guangdong team and will not change.
However, it seems that what General Manager Zhu said is quite different from what he did. It was under his operation that the Guangdong team exchanged five young talents for Su Wei. In the face of this transaction, Zhu's original words were "We need Su Wei's defense". Guangdong, which is full of talents, can't find a qualified inside substitute. This reason is obviously hard to convince. This season, Du and the two young people of Guangdong team were touted by the media, on the one hand, because they have excellent strength. On the other hand, it also reflects the lack of outstanding young players in Guangdong team at this stage.
In the past, Guangdong team, have you seen them being reported a lot because of the outstanding performance of some young players? To be sure, there are hardly any. Because there are so many young people like Guangdong that they can even be described as "overcrowded", but now they have changed their old style and widely reported. Doesn't it also explain from another level that there are fewer outstanding young players in Guangdong at this stage? It is a great irony for the brilliant Guangdong youth training in the past.
The Guangdong team has not experienced the historical trough. The gloomy years from 15 to 17 are still fresh in the memory of Guangdong fans. The league lost 8 games in 23 rounds, Yi Jianlian, the core of the team, was deeply rumored to have left the team, and head coach Du Feng was criticized by the media for winning the championship. Guangdong media called this period "the period of collapse". But even so, Guangdong fans always believe that the team has the hope of returning to the peak. Because these young people who grew up on the ruins will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and support the future of Guangdong. However, the operation of "changing Su Wei" hurt the Guangdong team, because what they changed this time was the future hope of the Guangdong team.
