After the first phase of the CBA, the teams entered a short break, and although the teams were suspended, the management of the clubs did not stop their steps. Yesterday, basketball reporter Jia Lei broke the news on social media that Beijing Shougang team signed the third foreign aid Barry Brown, who became another defender foreign player after Jeremy Lin and Gibson.
Speaking of Barry Brown, many fans are not familiar with it, his template is Hudson, who has played in the CBA for many years, has a certain strength, but does not have any experience playing in China. However, after this news was exposed, many people's first reaction was why did the Beijing Shougang team sign a defender foreign aid?
From an objective point of view, the addition of Barry Brown is difficult to help the team to some extent, and there is still some overlap in position. First of all, Brown hasn't played any big games, and his ceiling is unknown. And many big-name stars come to the CBA to encounter various problems, which some foreign aides have never encountered. Foreign aid who wants to gain a foothold in the CBA not only needs to score individually, but also has a certain degree of dominance on and off the court, including the ability to unite everyone in the locker room, which is probably no small challenge for some foreign aid.
Secondly, foreign aid without any CBA experience is very difficult to apply for a work visa to play in China. It is reported that at this stage, Brown is still waiting for a health report, and the entry procedures are extremely cumbersome, so considering Brown's actual situation, even if he comes to the CBA to play, it is difficult to meet the team in the second stage. With such a long waiting time and the re-entry of new signings, no one can afford to wait for such a season with only 38 regular season games.
Compared with Brown, Jeremy Lin and Gibson have both played against Beijing Shougang, and under this existing system, both have performed well. The procedures for foreign aid with work visas to return to the CBA are relatively simple, and jeremy Lin has begun to train with the team, and Gibson's return is also relatively optimistic. Both have the hope of appearing at the same time in the second stage, so from a run-in point of view, Jeremy Lin and Gibson are better choices.
In addition, there is no shortage of defenders in the current guard group of beijing Shougang team, and if Jeremy Lin and Gibson return at the same time, both are the dominant defenders of the CBA. Coupled with Liu Xiaoyu's good competitive state this season, in the absence of Fang Shuo, the whole Chinese class relies on Liu Xiaoyu's play, and the team lianke Guangdong and Zhejiang and other fierce opponents. At the same time, there are also highly experienced defenders such as Fang Shuo and Tian Yuxiang on the Shougang defender line, and new defenders such as Yang Ali and Luan Licheng also need a certain amount of time to grow and temper. If you blindly supplement the defender players, to a certain extent, it is a blow to the domestic defender line, and it will also delay the opportunity to train young defenders.
Therefore, from the above perspective, the Shougang team's reinforcement is actually not reasonable. Considering that there has not been any official response at present, whether the signing is completed or not will need to wait for further official announcements. In this foreign aid dispute outside the stadium, rational screening of foreign aid, looking for candidates suitable for the development of the team, and avoiding blind blindness are a strong guarantee to ensure that the team can move forward steadily.
