Warm-up Match Preview: Guangdong vs Shenzhen to Tip Off at 8 PM Sunday, Broadcast Source Confirmed

On September 5 Beijing time, the second warm-up match between Guangdong Southern Tigers and Shenzhen Leopards is about to begin. The two teams will move to Huizhou and meet again at Huizhou Sports Center at 8 PM on Sunday! It is worth mentioning that Xu Jie originally wanted to invite the whole team to eat at the farm restaurant run by his family, but it was unfortunately a little far from downtown Huizhou, so even Xu Jie stayed at a hotel with the team. The broadcast source has also been officially confirmed. Guangdong Sports Channel will still not broadcast this game, and Guangdong Southern Tigers also do not have an official streaming source. Therefore, fans can only watch personal live streams from spectators at the venue on Douyin, as they did previously. However, in the next warm-up game, because it is organized by Australian Tigers, there will be a high-definition broadcast.

In the previous warm-up match, Guangdong's veteran captain Zhou Peng and new signing Yang Tengfei did not play. Guangdong had only nine available players, and although the eventual loss to Shenzhen Leopards was somewhat disappointing, it was not entirely unacceptable. After the game, the new head coach also praised the team, saying that the players' fighting spirit and attitude were commendable.

In this warm-up match between Guangdong and Shenzhen, although neither side had its absolute key players available, the physical battle was intense and the game intensity was high, giving spectators an enjoyable experience. Some fans had previously felt it was a pity that Guangdong did not play in the summer league. In reality, the quality of summer league games is not high, and incidents involving physical conflicts and injuries occur frequently, so playing warm-up games against teams like Guangdong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou is actually a more sensible choice. In the second game, Zhou Peng and Yang Tengfei should be available for Guangdong. If both can play, Guangdong's wing and interior size will be better protected, and the team should avoid the awkward situation from the previous game where players like Wang Hongze and Huang Mingyi had to be pushed into playing center.

In addition, this game will be played in Xu Jie's hometown of Huizhou, and Xu Jie will certainly want to lead the team to victory in front of local supporters. His playing time is expected to be greater than in the previous game. Of course, we also hope to see Guangdong's young players continue their good form from the last match. Players such as Wang Hongze, Chen Jiazheng and Huang Mingyi need to continue making progress!
