After the battle of Chouzhou, Zhejiang, the Guangdong team returned to Dongguan the next day. The team had a three-day holiday and 16 officially resumed training. 9 wins/KLOC-0 losses, the Guangdong team's record in the first stage is still very satisfactory to the outside world. In the last match with Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team, Du Feng was expelled for two consecutive technical fouls, and then Wang Huaiyu took the position of coach. In the past, when Du Feng was away, Igor was a foreign handsome. He is the chief assistant coach of Guangdong team and a famous Latvian coach. Igor didn't come after the rematch last season, and he didn't come this season. Igor was originally a disciple of head coach Junas. He came to China in 2004 and is also the assistant coach of the national team. He knows China basketball very well. After coming to Guangdong, he was in charge of the team's defense. This season, Guangdong's defensive efficiency ranks 12, which is in the middle and lower reaches, which has a lot to do with Igor's departure.

Guangdong Hongyuan signed a heavy contract! A big-name foreign teacher officially joined to help Du Feng win the championship. The foreign teacher's name is Gintaras, and she is 59 years old. He comes from Lithuania and is a disciple of head coach Junas. 13 years as an assistant coach in Lithuania, led the Lithuanian men's basketball team to win the runner-up with Junas in the European Championship, and also served as head coach in the Lithuanian club. On 20 18, Gintaras joined CBA, became a member of Nanjing Tongxi coaching staff, and was also responsible for team defense. He coached Tongxi in Nanjing for two seasons.

After Guangdong Hongyuan came back from a three-day holiday, Gintaras appeared in Hongyuan's training hall. Du Feng introduced Gintaras to the players and was warmly welcomed by the whole team. Du Feng said that Gintaras's joining will improve the Guangdong team qualitatively, and the schedule is very tight, so our coaching staff needs to be more comprehensive. Gintaras also said that he was honored to be a member of the best team in CBA. He likes the team culture here, and he understands Du Feng's coaching philosophy very well. He will try his best to help Du Feng achieve the goal of the Guangdong team.

In this way, the coaching staff of the Guangdong team will be determined this season. Head coach Du Feng, assistant coach Wang Huaiyu and Gintaras can be said to be very luxurious. In the second stage of the competition, we hope that the Guangdong team's defense can be improved.
