The inheritance of Hongyuan! 35-year-old Ren Junfei just retired, and his youth training ushered in a potential talented forward line

5:13pm, 2 September 2025Football

The Guangdong Men's Basketball Team announced the list of players registered in the new season. The average age is only about 23 years old. The oldest, Hu Mingxuan, is only 27 years old. Before he knew it, the team has completed the transition from old to new, and will return to the championship ranks in the new season. However, what is surprising is that veteran Ren Junfei did not appear on the registration list. You should know that he also participated in the team's warm-up match some time ago.

Now it seems that 35-year-old Ren Junfei is likely to retire, and his identity as an assistant coach in the new season will completely change to the team. Ren Junfei's Hongyuan career was extremely long. It was not counted as the youth team played for 16 years alone. From the beginning, he assisted Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng, then Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng, and later Zhao Rui and Hu Mingxuan, he made himself the best sixth man. Erfei also witnessed the rise and fall of the team.

As an evergreen in the league, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team pays the most attention to the team's inheritance. As soon as Ren Junfei chose to retire, a signing news came from the youth training side. Under Zhu Fangyu's operation, the 14-year-old potential forward Liu Xuanyu, who is 2 meters tall, is already a member of Hongyuan Youth Training.

Liu Xuanyu is good at rebounding and three-point shooting. After joining the Hongyuan Youth Training Echelon, he has now transferred to Guangdong Experimental High School. Liu Xuanyu just led the team to win the National Junior High School Championship not long ago. He is also known as the Gemini Star of Mingde Middle School, along with Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie, who are known as the foreign aid of Little Four. I believe that in the near future, Liu Xuanyu will become a new hope for the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team's future forward through his polishing experience in Hongyuan Youth Training Team.
