On the 25th of this month, the CBA League will officially restart, and the second stage of the league will be very important for teams aiming to impact the playoffs and championships. The official appearance of many foreign aid in the second stage of the league will also make the competition between the teams reach a new height.
Although the overall strength of many CBA teams has been greatly improved due to the official addition of foreign aid, the teams that are having the strength to win the championship this season are undoubtedly the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Liaoning men's basketball team.
Liaoning, with a single foreign aid Ferge, won the first place in the league in the first stage of the league without suspense, while the Guangdong team, which played in the league with the all-Chinese class, was slightly inferior and ranked second in the standings.
The Guangdong men's basketball team has lost consecutively to Zhejiang and Beijing Shougang, which also highlights some of the problems of the team, that is, the lack of super foreign aides Ma Shang and Weems, the team is a little weak at both ends of the outside offensive and defensive ends.
Fortunately, at present, the Guangdong men's basketball team has completed contract renewals with Both Ma Shang and Weems. At present, Weems has returned to China and begun to be isolated for observation, and it is no accident that he will appear in the Guangdong team after the start of the second stage of the league.
Ma Shang is still in the recovery period after Achilles tendon surgery, and it is expected that he will need to wait until the CBA enters the playoff schedule next year before he can officially return to the Guangdong men's basketball team.
Over the past few seasons, Marchand has shown great personal ability, playing CBA dominance on both the offensive and defensive ends. However, after suffering a major injury to the rupture of the Achilles tendon, Ma Shang's strength can be restored by a few percent, and it is still difficult to say.
In addition, in January next year, Marchand will turn 33 years old, which coupled with the initial recovery from serious injuries, makes many people a little worried about his recovery.
In response to these problems, Guangdong Hongyuan Club has already made a plan. General manager Zhu Fangyu has been looking for a suitable third foreign aid for the Guangdong team. However, due to the special circumstances of this year, there are not many foreign aid available for Zhu Fangyu to choose.
In the case that many CBA teams have signed their favorite foreign aid, Zhu Fangyu can only target some foreign aides who played in the CBA league last season but have not yet signed with the team.
Previously, it was rumored that the Guangdong men's basketball team had communicated with Adams, a small foreign aid who played for Qingdao last season. However, there are not many clubs that want to bring in Adams at present. In addition to the Guangdong men's basketball team, the Xinjiang team and Beijing North Control have also passed out gossip with Adams.
North Control coach Marbury seems to have a soft spot for Adams, and it is reported that he has offered Adams a very generous treatment, hoping to bring the former CBA Finals MVP back to Beijing.
Zhu Fangyu, who was captured by Marbury's horizontal knife, could only find another foreign aid for the Guangdong team. Recently, according to a well-informed basketball insider, the Guangdong team has officially signed the third foreign aid recently, he is the small foreign aid Harris, who has played for the Shandong men's basketball team for 2 seasons.
Harris, 32, played for the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers before joining the CBA. Harris has a very strong physical fitness, although the height is only 1 meter 98, but his ability to bounce is very strong, and competing for rebounds in the backcourt is one of his unique skills.
In addition, Harris' scoring and organizational offensive ability is also quite good. Last season, in two games against Liaoning and nanjing tongxi, Harris scored a high score of 40+. In the three games against Beijing Control, Tianjin and Liaoning, his assists also reached double digits.
Harris's only fly in the ointment is that his outside shooting ability is not stable enough, and once the opponent's inside line is defended, his scoring data will drop significantly.
Judging from these characteristics of Harris, he is still more suitable for the current tactical system of shandong teams. In particular, his ability to break through with the ball and organize the attack can bring great help to the Guangdong team, which is good at running and bombing tactics.
The reason why Zhu Fangyu chose to sign Harris, in addition to his personal ability, also saw that Harris often had a super level in the game against Liaoning. If Harris can still play the high level of The Shandong team when facing the Liaoning team this season, then the Guangdong team's reinforcement is even more valuable!
