Guangdong Leads Shenzhen by 5 Points in Warm-up Game: Xu Jie Scores 7, Zhang Wenyu 11, Huang Mingyi Impresses in First Half_CBA

On September 4 Beijing time, Guangdong Southern Tigers officially began their first warm-up game of the summer. At halftime, Guangdong temporarily led Shenzhen 42-37. In terms of player scoring, Xu Jie had 7 points, Zhang Wenyu had 11 points, Chen Jiazheng had 5 points, Huang Mingyi had 2 points, Wang Hongze had 8 points, Zhang Jiarui had 2 points, Yang Yi had 2 points, and Zhao Baole had 2 points.

Xu Jie was in somewhat poor form during the first quarter, with relatively more turnovers and an average shooting touch. However, he increased his individual offensive involvement in the second quarter, scoring through floaters and driving layups, and finished the first half with 7 points.

Wang Hongze was Guangdong's main interior offensive option in the first half. After a summer of intensive training, his physicality and strength have clearly improved, and his finishing after contact has also become more reliable. Zhang Wenyu was Guangdong's leading scorer in the first half. His performance showed that accurate three-point shooting and scoring ability are valuable skills in the CBA. Guangdong currently lacks spacing, and Zhang Wenyu has relied on making one three-pointer after another from beyond the arc.

Huang Mingyi was a pleasant surprise in this game. The focus was not only on his performance, but also on the new head coach's strong trust in him, placing him in the starting lineup and giving him a large amount of playing time. Huang also proved himself, making a very impressive driving layup near the end of the first quarter, while his interior rim protection and rebounding were also solid. With Huang Mingyi's top-level physical attributes, he should have been given more opportunities earlier.
