Finally Here! Guangdong's New Force on the Wing Officially Rises, With the New Foreign Coaching Staff Personally Supporting Him!_Huang Mingyi_Guangzhou_Jilin

During the offseason of the 2025-26 CBA League season, news about training within championship contender Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has continued to gain attention. According to insiders, the Hongyuan new foreign coaching staff has shown great appreciation for talented wing Huang Mingyi during recent training sessions. Previously, there were reports that Huang Mingyi was about to transfer to Jilin Men's Basketball Team. However, this young wing player with outstanding physical attributes was not released by Guangdong; instead, he was given an important tactical role in the new coaching staff's system. During Guangdong's training, assistant coach Berrocal began one-on-one specialized guidance with Huang Mingyi. Therefore, many fans predict that Huang Mingyi is very likely to experience a true turning point in his career next season and could become the answer for Guangdong's power forward position.

It is well known that Huang Mingyi was unable to receive consistent playing time and a stable tactical role during Du Feng's tenure as head coach. Although Huang Mingyi possesses top-level physical attributes among players of the same age group, including excellent height, wingspan, and mobility, he still could not break into the rotation under a tactical philosophy that emphasized immediate contributions and defensive intensity. After being overlooked for multiple seasons, Huang Mingyi's technical weaknesses and mental qualities also failed to receive sufficient improvement through games. During this summer offseason, rumors about Huang Mingyi transferring to Jilin Men's Basketball Team emerged repeatedly, and there were even reports that Huang Mingyi represented Jilin in warm-up games. However, with the Guangdong new foreign coaching staff taking full control, Huang Mingyi's departure process was urgently halted.

Clearly, Guangdong's new coaching staff has seen Huang Mingyi's future potential. Since talented center Xu Xin established his value during the previous season on loan with Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team, it would be understandable for Huang Mingyi to seek a transfer to a mid-to-lower-ranked team for development. However, Guangdong has apparently already provided Huang Mingyi with strong commitments and guarantees; otherwise, he would not have given up the opportunity to transfer. At present, Guangdong assistant coach Berrocal has also begun one-on-one guidance with Huang Mingyi. Many fans predict that Huang Mingyi could push out players such as Wang Hongze and Zhang Hao next season and compete with Zhou Peng for the starting power forward position.

For Guangdong, although Wang Hongze is regarded by fans as the team's primary future development prospect at power forward, his weaknesses in physical confrontation and game experience remain obvious. Especially when facing CBA-level interior battles, Wang Hongze often struggles to gain an advantage. Zhang Hao, meanwhile, has excellent dynamic athletic ability, but his inconsistent availability has always been a risk factor that cannot be ignored. Under these circumstances, Huang Mingyi has instead become the most balanced option at power forward. However, Huang Mingyi still needs more games and time to fulfill his potential before he can truly become a qualified regular rotation player in the CBA League.

In conclusion, Guangdong's new foreign coaching staff's appreciation for Huang Mingyi is no longer a secret. This talented wing player who was once overlooked during Du Feng's tenure could potentially prove his value completely next season. If Huang Mingyi can take charge of Guangdong's power forward position, then alongside Xu Jie, Hu Mingxuan, Cui Yongxi, Jiao Boqiao, and others, the team will certainly have an opportunity to compete with championship contenders from Beijing and Shanghai for the CBA title.
