Live broadcast on December 8th news CBA regular season, Guangdong 91-74 beat Beijing. After the game, Du Feng, head coach of Guangdong team, was interviewed by the media.
When talking about this game, Du Feng said, “(having a rest) for nearly a month, the first game in the second stage may be difficult for us, it may take less than a week to practice with everyone. The United Arab League also had a needle before, and the knee joint was still a little swollen. In fact, it was only in the competition area that I practiced two classes with the team. I think in the first game, everyone performed well in general. The Beijing team is a very good team. It has a very good system on the defensive side. It also puts great pressure on many teams in rotation and oppression of the ball, the same is true today. Beijing team puts a lot of pressure on us. Therefore, today, in the three-point hit rate (29.7%), we did not do so well. Because before, we should have ranked first in the league in the first stage, and the number of hits was also the first. However, after today’s physical confrontation, the hit rate was relatively low. I believe that when the game is going on, everyone will get better and better.”
When talking about the team’s offensive and defensive performance today, Du Feng said: “Because of some small episodes in the first stage of the game, everyone was isolated for more than ten days. They didn’t play until they arrived in the competition area. They adjusted while playing the game, but I think it is quite fast to enter the state. The second stage has at least a few days of training time. We came to the competition area, including two classes at home, two classes and four classes, everyone is good at this defensive end. Because a few years ago, we defended this part on the ground and did a good job in the league. Today, at both ends of the attack and defense, each team member still needs to participate in the competition, because this team still needs to continue, so it plays more for young players, including Zhang Mingchi, Zhang Hao, zhang Haojia and Zeng Maozhou hope that they can improve better through the process of playing on behalf of the competition, and make more stars for this team and Chinese basketball.”
When talking about coming to Zhuji division for the third time, Du Feng said, “the feeling of coming here and going home is actually not bad. Especially familiar venues, hotels, staff and media friends in all aspects. I think it is not easy for everyone. The closed-loop competition for three consecutive seasons is actually very difficult for players, coaches, staff and all the staff in the future. But everyone is dedicated to Chinese basketball. After returning to the Grand Hotel, I saw familiar faces. All the staff sent us blessings and welcome there, and beat gongs and drums there, actually, it’s like going home. The Butler of each team was very enthusiastic to see everyone, and the room was still familiar. I like it very much and want to come back here very much, because the previous season, we have achieved relatively good results here and hope Zhuji can bring us good luck. I also hope everyone is healthy and safe. Thank you, Zhuji.”
