After the second stage of the CBA, the Guangzhou men's basketball team ranked 7th with 18 wins and 10 losses, and has almost locked up a playoff spot. Compared with last season's last train in the playoffs at the last minute, this season's Guangzhou men's basketball team has made significant progress. Entering the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, which the Guangzhou men's basketball team did not dare to imagine in the past, they were once the famous fish belly team in the CBA. Now that it has got rid of the ranks of fish belly, the Guangzhou men's basketball team has the prototype of a strong team.
Guo Shiqiang is regarded as the number one contributor to the transformation of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, and he also deserves this honor. The fatal shortcoming of the weak team is poor defense, the players do not have good defensive habits, it is very easy to be penetrated, and the Guangzhou men's basketball team is the same. Before the start of the 2020-21 season, after Guo Shiqiang became the coach of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, the most important thing was defense. Urging the players to improve their defensive ability, Guo Shiqiang has created a defensive system suitable for the team, which has greatly increased the defensive level of the Guangzhou men's basketball team.
The Guangzhou men's basketball team also has a common disadvantage of weak teams, that is, poor toughness. It is easy to give up when encountering difficulties, and it is even more arbitrary to kill when playing a strong team. Guo Shiqiang let the shortcomings of the Guangzhou men's basketball team disappear, and the team no longer gave up easily, even if it was to play the top strong team, it would not surrender its weapons. Last season, when encountering the Guangdong men's basketball team, the Guangzhou men's basketball team played with great success, causing a lot of pressure on the opponent. Playing the Liaoning men's basketball team, the Guangzhou men's basketball team played even more vigorously, almost upset in a game, and finally only lost 93-95.
Changing the team as a whole, Guo Shiqiang can also cultivate players very well, which is also a wealth. Chen Yingjun, Guo Kai and other original main players have made significant progress under Guo Shiqiang, especially Chen Yingjun is already a local supergiant level, sending 26 points and 22 assists in a single game. Zhu Mingzhen entered the first season of the CBA, and was reused by Guo Shiqiang and played in the national team. Li Yanzhe changed from a mascot to a main rotation, and marginal people such as Jia Mingru also greatly increased their role. Under Guo Shiqiang's strategy, the Guangzhou men's basketball team can play more people, and there are always players who can stand up in a certain game, which is also an important reason for the team to become stronger.
Guo Shiqiang has become the savior of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, and he can have this savior because the Guangzhou men's basketball team has an excellent management. After Guo Shiqiang was dismissed from the Liaoning men's basketball team, he once fell into a trough and was surrounded by doubts. However, the management of the Guangzhou men's basketball team is still optimistic about Guo Shiqiang, contacted him for the first time, and showed his long-term ideas and goals. At the beginning of Guo Shiqiang's joining the Guangzhou men's basketball team, he bluntly said that he had taken a fancy to the sincerity and long-term plan of the Guangzhou men's basketball team.
Now it seems that the management of the Guangzhou men's basketball team has a precise vision, and Guo Shiqiang has indeed changed the team. In fact, the Guangzhou men's basketball team is also excellent in the selection of players. In the current lineup of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, Chen Yingjun Guo Kai and Zhu Mingzhen were selected at the CBA draft. When draft players from other teams frequently performed in the CBA, the draft players of the Guangzhou men's basketball team have provoked the beams. In the choice of foreign aid, the Guangzhou men's basketball team has also done a good job, and the 2 foreign aides of the Guangzhou men's basketball team this season, Mason and Liff have played at the top level, and they are the heroes of the team's outstanding record.
The management will choose the coach and the player, which has contributed to the take-off of the Guangzhou men's basketball team. For some weak teams in the CBA, if they want to re-embark on the rise of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, they need to work behind the scenes and form an excellent management team to let them build a lineup. On the contrary, the management is not professional, and constantly changing coaches cannot change the fate, even if there is a local super giant, it is still a fish belly for a long time.
