Last offseason, after Huang Rongqi left the Xinjiang men's basketball team, no one cared about him for a while, if it wasn't for Guangdong to throw him an olive branch, he might really be reduced to playing in the NBL. For most of the regular season, Du Feng let Huang Rongqi play the role of 3D, who had previously proved that he was difficult to become a ball-holding core in the Sichuan team and Jiangsu team, and gradually accepted to become an auxiliary engineer in Xinjiang, and when he came to Guangdong, Huang Rongqi continued to play such a role.
In fact, during the regular season, Huang Rongqi was also able to enter the team's rotation lineup, in 3 games, he played an average of 0.0 minutes per game, got 0 points, 0.0 rebounds and 0.0 assists, and the three shooting rates were 0.0%, 0.0% and 0.0%, but in the playoffs, Du Feng did not give Huang Rongqi a chance to play until G0 for the sake of conservatism.
而黃榮奇也把握住了這個機會,為自己贏得了證明。與上海的G3,黃榮奇在替補24分鐘的上場時間里,雖然僅7投2中拿到5分4籃板,還有5次犯規,但由他盯防的哈威本場比賽17投僅6中只得到18分,且3個失誤。雖然帳面數據一般,但黃榮奇在場上的作用,大家應該是肉眼可見。有球迷直言:哈威晚上睡覺都要夢見你。
Considering that Guangdong's two local defenders, Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie, need to put more energy into the offensive end, the defensive end does need auxiliary sappers like Huang Rongqi who are willing to do dirty work to limit the opponent's small foreign aid. In the next round, facing Shanxi's two powerful foreign players (Goodwin, Diallo), and even their new foreign aid Kyle, Du Feng may really put Huang Rongqi into the rotation list and let him continue to guard several of Shanxi's main defenders.
Now the guard group of the Guangdong men's basketball team, including Burke, Hu Mingxuan, and Xu Jie, are all players who focus on offense, although Beazley and Moreland can defend, but in terms of agility, they are still much inferior to players like Huang Rongqi, who are originally guards, so Du Feng still needs to decisively expand the rotation lineup in the playoffs and let Huang Rongqi enter the rotation list. Although Huang Rongqi is indeed good at defense, he can also bring a lot of surprises to the team if he can't keep it on the offensive end, so he may indeed become a key X factor for Guangdong in the next round of Shanxi.
It is true that most teams in the playoffs will be more cautious in terms of personnel rotation, but sometimes to use some surprise players can still have unexpected effects, like this G3, Huang Rongqi really seized the opportunity and won proof for himself. Therefore, Du Feng should still try to give some surprise opportunities in the next series, maybe there will be unexpected effects.
