The Guangdong Men's Basketball Team made a major lineup adjustment this offseason. Zhang Mingchi left the team for personal reasons. The potential inside player Xu Xin was loaned to the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, while Huang Rongqi left the team after the contract expired. As a big center with a height of 2.26 meters, Xu Xin has represented the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team in the CBA for four seasons, but has not been able to play in the team's main lineup. She was basically abandoned at the critical moment and was unable to reuse the team at the age when she should have raised the ball. The 21-year-old player finally applied for a trade application. In the end, the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team loaned Xu Xin to the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team through a transaction. After two seasons, Xu Xin is likely to return to the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. In the past two years since leaving the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, and without the control of coach Du Feng, can Xu Xin re-prove his strength?
Xu Xin played for four seasons at the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. Last season, she represented the team in 35 regular season games, averaged 4.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, and shot a shooting percentage of 72.5%. During the playoffs, Xu Xin played 6 games, averaging 4.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. In the semi-finals against the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, Xu Xin even had a wonderful performance of 11 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in a single game, but she still failed to gain the trust of the coaching staff.
In the warm-up match held during the offseason, Xu Xin finally broke out in the game. He was dissatisfied with the accusation of head coach Du Feng, and the conflict broke out between the two sides. Xu Xin then applied for a deal to the club. However, for the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, Xu Xin, as the potential inside line that the team focused on cultivating, has not truly reflected his value in the team, and the club still couldn't bear to give up. In the end, the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team chose to loan Xu Xin to the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team for exercise, and still owns Xu Xin's ownership.
Although Xu Xin's overall skills are relatively rough, with his height advantages, Xu Xin's rim protection and rebounding are still very good, and the ending at the basket is also very good. Moreover, Xu Xin has certain shooting ability. As long as the coaching staff gives him enough opportunities, I believe Xu Xin can slowly play his role and value. Judging from the lineup configuration of the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team in the new season, after Jiao Boqiao joined the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, the inside line mainly focuses on Xu Xin and Chen Guohao. Xu Xin will become the absolute core of the team's fifth position in the new season. He will work with players such as Guo Ailun and Chen Guohao. After the increase in ball rights and playing time, I believe Xu Xin can average 11+6+2 per game.
After entering the CBA, the outside world had high expectations for Xu Xin. He had the highest height of 2.26 meters in the league and had never been able to achieve results. On the one hand, it was the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team's hiding, and on the other hand, it was Xu Xin's confrontation and skills. The new season of the CBA will officially start on December 12. Xu Xin still has nearly three months to improve. I hope that under the leadership of the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Special Trainer, Xu Xin can enrich his offensive skills under the basket, increase his confrontational strength, and become the core of the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team's inside line as soon as possible, breaking the doubts from the outside again.
