The second phase of the CBA regular season will resume on December 25, with a total of 15 rounds of games. With 13 days to go until the start of the game again, let's summarize and look forward to the 20 teams in the CBA. The eighth period is the Qingdao team.
Personnel changes (as of press time)
The biggest change in the second phase of the Qingdao team was to have double foreign aid. At present, they have registered two foreign aides Dacarey Johnson and Wells, and the addition of two strong foreign players will also bring great help to qingdao.
Summary of the first phase
Qingdao's first stage was only 4 wins and 9 losses, which was a surprise. The team, which has reached the quarter-finals for the past two seasons, lacks homegrown stars, but the local depth is not bad. Even if Liu Chuanxing landed in the Australian NBL League this season, the impact on Qingdao team was not too big. But in the first stage, the performance of the Qingdao team was a big surprise.
Four victories, they just defeated Sichuan, Jiangsu, Tianjin and Fujian, and they basically had no strength to face the strong team. Although 4 people averaged double figures per game, there was no particularly prominent scoring point, which still made Qingdao suffer a lot.
Phase II Outlook
The two foreign aides of the Qingdao team are not bad. Johnson has played for Qingdao for the past three seasons, averaging 21+12 per game in each season. The heavy center, who used to partner the NBA Thunder and Westbrook, averaged 21.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game last season, and against Guo Allen's Liaoning team, Johnson had 35 points, 25 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks.
Wells has averaged 30+7+5 per game in the past two seasons, and last season, he averaged 30.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.9 steals per game in Jiangsu, 54 points and 9 rebounds against Tianjin, and also performed well against Guangdong led by Du Feng and Liaoning led by Yang Ming.
Given Johnson's outstanding strength and Wells's all-round style of play, the two of them also hope to provide great help to Qingdao, so as to lead Qingdao to play a better performance in the second stage, making Qingdao a dark horse in the second stage.
