Since the former national player Huo Nan took over the position of general manager of Tongxi last season, this famous fish belly team in the league has been ridiculed by the outside world as a "net red entertainment team", because they picked up a number of CUBA players at the draft, and the main core Xi Relijiang often took this group of young people together to shoot entertainment short videos, the record is not satisfactory, but the entertainment spirit is the top level of the league. In the first stage of the season, Tong Xi simply did not even look for foreign aid, after successively giving up the signing rights of the wild ball Xiaowai Shaun Hill and the big outer Mortree, they continued to rely on these fledgling college students to reverse the decline in the draft, although they also signed Wang Zirui and Sun Mingyang in the free market during the period, but these were placed in the upper reaches of other leagues and the teams could not even enter the main rotation list, and it was not easy to save such a weak team that did not even have three foreign aides.
In the first stage, Tongxi only achieved a record of 1 win and 12 losses, especially in the final final battle lost to the new army Ningbo Fubon, which also directly ignited the anger of the top level, in the window period, Tongxi Group directly announced the criticism of the team's poor performance in the first stage, from the management to the player coach, have not been spared. This directly angry foreign coach Besinović took the initiative to resign, fortunately, they quickly introduced liu tie, the local coach who coached Tianjin last season, so that they would not face the dilemma of no one to take over.
After winning the former coach of Tianjin, Tongxi also brought Edwards, a small foreign player who played in Tianjin last season, to Jinling City. Earlier, according to basketball reporter Song Xiang, Tongxi has reached a signing agreement with Edwards, and the team is currently handling the relevant procedures for him, and it is not surprising that Edwards should appear in the second stage. As a wildball foreign aid, the 29-year-old Edwards is 1 meter 96 tall, weighs 95kg, plays the No. 3 position, and in the 18 games he joined Tianjin last season, he averaged only 11.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, shooting only 39.5%, but at that time, in the tianjin game against Tongxi, Edwards just cut a career-high 32 points and 11 rebounds on them, and helped the team win.
And the fate in the dark, let him and Tongxi come together this season. However, Tongxi's current situation, wanting to count on a mediocre Edwards, is definitely a drop in the bucket. With most teams in the second stage will welcome back their respective foreign aid, the only teams without foreign aid will be Guangsha and Kendia (these two teams have not been signed in the window period), and in the case of multiple foreign aid in each team, it will still be very difficult for Tongxi to bottom out and rebound.
