Chapter 183 Guangdong, Guangdong (2)
The crowd at the Shenyuan Stadium in Pudong, Shanghai, is a testament to the level of attention this game has received, and not only that, but CCTV Sports Channel has also broadcast the game live across the country.
The two senior commentators of CCTV Sports Channel were responsible for commenting on the game: Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia.
"This game is a battle for Guangdong to lock the playoffs in advance, and the Shanghai team has also reached the critical moment of sprinting to the playoffs, and Guangdong is the strongest offensive team in the league, and Shanghai has been in the first place in the defensive list for a long time, this game is bound to be a spear and shield duel," Zhang Weiping sighed.
"Guangdong is as sharp as ever, but after the injury of the Shanghai team in Renkelly, the team's defense seems to have suddenly dropped a notch, the team's starting center Zhang Zhaoxu has recently fallen into the predicament of fouls, and the Shanghai team has allowed the opponent to score more than 90 points in each of the last three games, and for various reasons, Shanghai has gradually slipped out of the top eight," Yu Jia continued.
According to the news we just got, the top scorer of the Shanghai team, Harris, has returned to the United States due to personal matters, but the new foreign aid Landry of the Shanghai team will play in this game, but the remnants of the Shanghai team with a single foreign aid can be said to be an almost impossible task to defeat the defending champion with a full lineup" Zhang Weiping is quite optimistic about the Shanghai team.
"The new foreign aid of the Shanghai team, Marcus. Landry is a former Rockets player named Karl. Landry's younger brother, I don't know how many layers of skill he has with his brother, but from the side of the eye, he is shorter than his brother in height, I don't know if he plays the No. 3 or No. 4 position," Yu Jia commented.
"There are a lot of Rockets plots in this game, not only former Rockets star Carl. Landry's younger brother, Harris, another foreign player of the Shanghai team, also played in the preseason for the Rockets, and Guangdong foreign player Brooks and Shanghai team owner Yao Ming are teammates of the Rockets, so there are a lot to watch," Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
"Today is the birthday of Liu Wei, the captain of the Shanghai team, but just after looking at the list of appearances of the Shanghai team, Liu Wei is still recovering from injuries, and the Shanghai team has been plagued by injuries this season," Yu Jia said after looking at the information in his hand.
"But now the Shanghai team's tall and strong play is good, and the tall and strong offensive ability of the point guard is stronger than Liu Wei, and he also has a good view of the overall situation, that is, the error rate should be slightly controlled," Zhang Weiping nodded and said.
"There is no doubt that Gao Dazhuang is now the best young player in China, he has not only proven himself in the international arena, but also in the CBA, and now many draft websites predict that Gao Dazhuang will directly participate in the NBA draft after this season, but he himself has not responded positively," Yu Jia said.
"Maybe Gao Dazhuang himself is also waiting to see if he can have a good order, of course, the Shanghai team must hope to keep him for another year, after all, the role of Gao Dazhuang is now comparable to that of foreign aid" Zhang Weiping's evaluation of Gao Dazhuang is quite high.
"Yes, before the game, Coach Li Chunjiang of the Guangdong team publicly expressed his appreciation for the tall and strong team before the game," Yu Jia continued.
"After winning the World Youth Championships, Wang Huaiyu, the head coach of the national youth team and also the head coach of the Guangdong youth team, once said that his biggest regret now is that the Guangdong team missed the tall and strong, but fortunately in China, it was not missed," Zhang Weiping replied with a smile.
"Coach Zhang, do you predict this game?" Yu Jiafa asked.
"At present, the Shanghai team is ranked 10th in the league, the team has suffered four consecutive defeats, the state is not ideal, and the original two foreign players Harris and Renkelly this season are no longer in the team, and the new foreign aid Landry still has run-in problems. Guangdong, on the other hand, leads the league with a 19-4 record, and the team has won six consecutive victories before, and the defending champions are getting better and better. So I think the winning rate of the Guangdong team in this game is significantly higher than that of the Shanghai team" Zhang Weiping's opinion is the same as that of the mainstream media, although the Shanghai team urgently needs a victory, but all the media do not think that the current Shanghai team can cause problems for the Guangdong team.
On the pitch, the Guangdong team is warming up on the field.
Although it is an away game, the Guangdong team seems to be very negotiated, not only the veteran Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Brooks, Singleton, etc., but also the new generation of Guangdong players Zhou Peng, Chen Jianghua, Liu Xiaoyu, Dong Hanlin and others have a king's breath, which is the confidence brought by the team's constant victory, and the Guangdong team is the real dynasty.
The Guangdong team has won the CBA championship seven times before, creating a "Hongyuan Dynasty", and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the "Bayi Dynasty's" record of eight crowns.
The main reason why the Guangdong team can create such brilliance is that the youth training system was established early, the system is perfect, and the level is higher.
From 2006 to 2009, the Guangdong team won seven championships in eight youth-level competitions, and coach Wang Huaiyu, who was in charge of youth training, was the hero of Guangdong's basketball rise and glory.
The core of Guangdong's youth system is material selection, and they have a well-developed scouting network.
Zhang Zhenmin, the former head coach of the Guangdong youth team, led the team for 10 years from 1996 to 2005, and cultivated Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Yi Jianlian and all other popular stars who played in Hongyuan.
In 2006, Wang Huaiyu took over and cultivated a large number of young talents such as Zhou Peng, Chen Jianghua, Liu Xiaoyu, Dong Hanlin, etc., but Coach Wang Huaiyu regretted that he missed the tall and strong, which also made him haunted.
In addition to a good training environment and special training methods, the Guangdong team also has unique innate advantages: when Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu joined the team, there were old national players such as Li Chunjiang in the team, and training together would naturally improve quickly, and the younger Chen Jianghua and others got the help of Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and other national players.
In this way, young players improve rapidly in high-level training, and the success rate is naturally high.
However, at this time, young players such as Zhou Peng, Chen Jianghua, Liu Xiaoyu, and Dong Hanlin of the Guangdong team all set their sights on one person, that is, the tall and strong that their coach Wang Huaiyu could not let go of - the best young player in China.
Gao Dazhuang can also feel the provocative gaze of these Guangdong talents, but Gao Dazhuang is not afraid of any challenge.
"The next one is our new king - BIGBIG~ tall and strong" In the high-pitched roar of the live DJ, Gao Dazhuang was the last to appear in the audience.
Gao Dazhuang ignored the provocative gaze of the Guangdong team members, especially the young players, and raised his hands fiercely, and the entire stadium also erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.
"Huo, tall and strong have won the hearts of Shanghai fans," Zhang Weiping not only praised.
"Yes, this is his home stadium, it seems that this game will not be as simple as imagined, the game will start immediately," Yu Jia said.
"Okay, the game is on, it's a battle between two teams that have both won championships" As the referee blew the whistle, the game officially began.
