Beijing time on July 13th, the NBA Summer League was in urgent need of starting. Chinese player Guo Haowen played on behalf of the Mavericks and got 15 minutes of playing time, 3 of 4 and 9 points.
Many fans ridicule that Guo Haowen's way of playing is too consistent with his positioning. Unlike Zhang Zhenlin, the defender's face needs to be considered. Whether he can get the ball depends entirely on whether the Suns defender participates in the end. In the first few minutes, adaptation was still the main focus, but later on when I saw that no one passed the ball, Guo Haowen started to work alone when he got it. According to the fault tolerance of the Mavericks coaching staff, obviously, it is a good thing to be able to finish, and there are not too complicated tactics. Build.
Zhang Zhenlin is relatively lucky. Since the degree of "involution" of the team is not particularly high and the head coach has clear strategic intentions, Zhang Zhenlin scored 9 points in 4 minutes and had a special opportunity to end the ball. He is very happy.
The Pacers where Zeng Fanbo belongs has a group of defenders to dominate the ball, and there are 5-6 forwards waiting for opportunities. In the last game, due to internal adjustment problems, Zeng Fanbo did not get playing time, and this game was full of Returning to run is not currently part of the key uses of the Pacers summer league.
Guo Haowen's starting point was the lowest. He sprained his ankle during training. As he was interviewed by domestic media, he really wanted to play, but after the team doctor's evaluation, he thought he couldn't play and could only wait.
From the process of this game, Guo Haowen entered the Mavericks' rotation early. Compared with Hardy, the well-known singles king in the team, Guo Haowen did not have many opportunities at the beginning, but Hardy's overall condition was not good, resulting in The Mavericks fell behind by a big score, and the remaining defenders pulled out when they got the ball, or went it alone. The result was that the Suns established a 2-digit lead early.
When the Mavericks coaching staff did not have many tactical requirements, Guo Haowen began to perform his own performance. Since he belongs to the swingman ranks at positions 1-3, Guo Haowen has relatively more opportunities to get the ball. According to statistics, he is only 3 of 4. But many times he got to the basket and got free throw opportunities, all of which were reflected on the playing field. However, his free throw shooting rate of 2 of 6 was obviously lower than expected, but it gave a very obvious signal to the outside world. He played in melee. The self-confidence and fighting spirit are far inferior to these young American players.
In the summer league, players like Guo Haowen are actually relatively popular, with a strong sense of competition. They dare to show their own characteristics on the court. Their defenders do not pass the ball once and twice. After he gets the ball, he can do it by himself. He can break through and kill, attack with the ball, and shoot three-pointers. With the ball in hand, he is the best in the world.
From another perspective, when the entire team plays in an all-inclusive way, if Guo Haowen is not "independent", he may not have the opportunity to express himself. As mentioned by the domestic Tencent Sports commentary, this league It is a stage for young players to show themselves. Chinese players need to be more selfish. When it comes to contracts and jobs, they cannot have too high tactical literacy.
Like Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin, they need to look at the faces of their own defenders. If they are not part of the coaching staff's focus and training, then these American dual-purpose defenders, unless they have great opportunities, will probably It's difficult to get the ball in hand, and even in many periods of time, these American defenders will mainly end up on their own. Guo Haowen's ability to hold the ball is a very high bonus. Although there are many shortcomings, the summer league places too much emphasis on defensive factors, which is also an unlikely technical link.
