CBA is about to start, and the second stage of the game is about to begin. For the Guangdong team this season, it is quite difficult, and the team has changed a lot in terms of personnel. Although the team signed Hamilton in the second offseason and the team also formed a lineup of three foreign players, all this still needs to be adapted.
For Hu Mingxuan , the performance of both the national team and the club has been unsatisfactory in the past two seasons. After winning the MVP in the finals in 2021 and helping the team win the championship, Hu Mingxuan reached its peak in both popularity and self-confidence. The national team performed very well in the subsequent games, especially the two games in the Olympic sanctions. Although the Chinese team failed to reach the Tokyo Olympics, Hu Mingxuan scored 40 points in two games against the two top ten opponents in the world. Such highlights have never been seen on the back line in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team. It can be seen that Hu Mingxuan is indeed a defender with a very high ceiling.
But since he played those two games, whether it was last season or this season, his performance in Guangdong team has been deteriorating, including in the national team. He was able to have stable output when playing in the top ten teams in the world, but now he has no way to perform well in Asian-level games, including because of his performance, Du Feng has been under a lot of pressure because Du Feng has always recruited him into the national team and even given him a lot of playing time. At this moment, Hu Mingxuan should actually calm down, adjust his mentality, and then play the game, and strive to get back to this state. At this critical moment, the brand he signed with, a sports company from Germany, made extremely inappropriate moves.
Last year, Hu Mingxuan signed a contract with this brand. Now they have also launched Hu Mingxuan’s signature sneakers. At the same time, there is also an event label in this signature sneaker, which is an MVP label, which can be pasted on your own. The exposure of such a news undoubtedly made Hu Mingxuan's current situation worse. As we mentioned earlier, Hu Mingxuan is currently under great pressure in the outside world, especially fans who are actually hostile to the Guangdong team. They often use Hu Mingxuan to spoof him, and even use various public opinion offensives to attack him. Of course, there is no way to do this. As a professional player, he has to bear it. After all, he doesn't play very well.
But as we said before, Hu Mingxuan now needs to be quiet and calm when playing basketball, but this brand launched his signature sneakers at this time and even made an MVP tag to get it up. This undoubtedly gave this part of hostile fans an excuse to attack him, so this news is definitely not very good news for Hu Mingxuan.
In fact, there is no need for this brand to rush to release his signature sneakers at this time. It is completely possible to wait for Hu Mingxuan to improve his condition, even if he plays two or three good goals, he will use this east wind to release it again. At present, when Hu was obviously in a trough, issuing signature sneakers not only does not support him in action, but will instead allow more fans to ridicule and attack him, which will undoubtedly make this public opinion offensive that has gradually faded.
I think Hu Mingxuan’s problem is not a problem of ability, but more of a mentality adjustment problem. If you adjust your mentality well, Hu Mingxuan should be able to show his previous state. The behavior done by this German brand now undoubtedly increases the difficulty of replying to Hu Mingxuan’s mentality.
