On December 5, Beijing time, for many Hongyuan fans, the second stage is worth looking forward to. In addition to the smoother run-in between Yi Jianlian and the team, and the return of Weems to the team after the end of isolation, the 2.24-meter small giant Xu Xin will also usher in his career debut. But in addition, the Hongyuan management led by Zhu Fangyu has actually been trying to add bricks and tiles to the player lineup and the coaching staff lineup, adding weight to the twelfth crown of Hongyuan. In terms of player lineup, Hongyuan is expected to sign former Shandong men's basketball foreign aid Harris, who is also a type of foreign aid that Du Feng likes very much, with good ball holding ability, and also has a beautiful mid-range jumper, equivalent to a weakened version of Weems. In addition, Zhu Fangyu also hopes to bring a new helper to Du Feng. Besinović, the head coach who was swept out by Jiangsu Tongxi some time ago, is expected to join the Hongyuan uniform group to provide tactical advice and support to Du Feng.
Using the all-Chinese squad to play the first stage does not mean that Hongyuan really relies on such a lineup to complete all the matches of the season. As foreign aid from the CBA teams continues to arrive, the disadvantages of the all-Chinese class are gradually being magnified. Although weems' return has solved Hongyuan's urgent needs to a certain extent, in the long run, the South China Tigers still need a third foreign aid to replace Ma Shang's vacancy. Recently, some domestic media pointed out that Hongyuan is close to reaching an agreement with former Shandong small foreign aid Harris, who will join Hongyuan to replace the injured Ma Shang and form a new foreign aid combination with Weems. Harris is not the legendary super foreign aid, the strength is not as good as Marzan and Weems, under the epidemic, it is not easy to select foreign aid, Harris itself is more cost-effective, technical characteristics are more in line with the Hongyuan tactical system, so Zhu Fangyu also hopes to be able to reach a franchise agreement with him as soon as possible.
In addition to foreign aid, Zhu Fangyu also thought about the coaching staff. As we all know, Du Feng has always liked to cooperate with foreign teachers, whether it is Igor or Quintairas, these two foreign teachers have given Du Feng enough support in the journey of Hongyuan's three consecutive championships. Du Feng's on-site scheduling is of course the top of the CBA, but he still needs some assistant coaches with advanced basketball technical and tactical knowledge and rich coaching experience to support. Previously, Igor and Quintairas left the team for various reasons, and the current coaching team of Hongyuan is very weak, and Du Feng has communicated with Zhu Fangyu several times, hoping to add suitable members as soon as possible.
To be honest, in today's environment, it is more difficult to find a suitable foreign teacher. But the outstanding ability of Zhu Fangyu still found the opportunity, former Jiangsu Tongxi head coach Besinović, not long ago left the team, the coach with rich coaching experience in the CBA, is obviously the best candidate for Hongyuan foreign coach at present. In fact, Pei Shuai's ability is very strong, but the indicators given to him by Jiangsu Tongxi are really unrealistic, and the top level of Tongxi who is eager to make quick profits will have to drive people away because the team has not reached the expected goal of winning, at this time, if Zhu Fangyu can extend an olive branch to Bei Shuai, I believe he will gladly accept it!
