As we all know, the CBA has now ended the first stage of the game, And Liaoning has achieved an impressive record of 12 wins and 1 loss, pushing Guangdong, Shenzhen, Guangsha and other giants to rank first in the league. After the end of the first stage of the CBA, Han Dejun, Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen were selected for the Chinese men's basketball team training list, and then participated in the Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers, and both games won japan. Guo Allen's performance was very good, which once caused the Japanese media to report, and even some Japanese fans expressed great envy for the Chinese men's basketball team to have players like Guo Allen. Guo Allen's growth in the past two seasons has made fans see the hope of Liaoning winning the championship again. Recently, the Liaoning team has spread good news, liaoning team officially announced on December 13 that foreign aid Eric Moland has completed the registration work, and he will participate in the second stage of liaoning competition.
The addition of Moland is undoubtedly a great addition to the Liaoning team. Liaoning's two foreign players last season, Fogg and Mayo, were mainly outside the line, and the two positions overlapped somewhat, and they failed to play their full strength. In the finals, liaoning's inner line except For Han Dejun and Fu Hao, there was no foreign aid to defend the town, and it was hit by the outside line of the Guangdong team. Although Liaoning has been able to grab 50 rebounds per game this season, ranking first in the league, they have only 3.3 blocks per game, ranking last in the league. The only game that Liaoning lost in the first stage was to lose to Shanxi, and the liaoning team's internal line was obviously inferior to several internal lines of Shanxi team. And Han Dejun is getting older now, and the problem of Liaoning's internal defensive shortcomings will become more and more serious. The addition of Moland, a tough general, will reduce a lot of pressure on Han Dejun.
The second phase of the CBA will start at the end of December, and most of the CBA team's foreign aid has returned, Guangdong has welcomed back Weems, Beijing has welcomed back Jeremy Lin, Shenzhen has welcomed back Salinger, and the second stage schedule will be more difficult. Liaoning will meet Beijing on December 25, there are still more than 10 days to go before the game, Moland joined Liaoning at this time is not too late, he can quickly integrate into the team system.
At 2.08 meters tall, Morland can play both center and big forward positions, and he is now only 30 years old and at the peak of his career. Moland was a 2014 NBA draft winner who played for the Kings, Pistons and Raptors, and in 2019 he helped the Raptors win their first championship in franchise history. In the 2019-20 season, Moland came to the CBA to pan for gold, joined the Shanxi team, in the first season of the Shanxi team, Moland averaged 14.5 points, 14.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, last season he averaged 14.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 2 blocks, although the offensive aspect is lackluster, but he is a top fighter on the defensive end. The Liaoning team officially valued Moland's defensive ability, and his addition will make the Liaoning team's inner defense go up to a higher level.
In addition to signing Morland, Liaoning also ushered in another piece of good news. According to the Liaoshen Evening News, Wu Changze and Liu Zhixuan, who had previously missed the first stage of the tournament due to injury, have returned and arrived in Changchun with the team to participate in the warm-up match against Jilin. The comeback of Wu Changze and Liu Zhixuan will make the lineup of the Liaoning team more perfect.
Now the liaoning team has Han Dejun, Moland, Fu Hao Zhenshou in the inner line, Fogg, Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen on the outside line, and zhang Zhenlin and Cong Mingchen in the small forward position, and the lineup can be said to be very luxurious. After Yang Ming experienced last season, his coaching ability has become more and more outstanding. This season's Liaoning team still has the hope of reaching the finals and ending the Guangdong Dynasty.
