On December 15, Beijing time, according to the official social media announcement of the CBA, Simmons, a small foreign aid who played for the Liaoning men's basketball team last season, has officially completed the registration in the Shanxi men's basketball team, which means that he will represent Shanxi in the regular season of the new season of the CBA.
For the Shanxi men's basketball team to sign Simmons, in fact, most fans and media surprised, last season's Liaoning men's basketball team is enough to spend up to 4 million US dollars on the contract, which made Simmons give up the warrior-led training camp, so as to transfer to China, and liaoning men's basketball team to sign, from the level of the contract, is indeed full of sincerity.
But after Simmons came to the Liaoning men's basketball team, his physical state and playing style, but has not been completely integrated into the Liaoning men's basketball team, and even the follow-up Yang Ming let him appear on the Liaoning men's basketball team with a ballless 3D positioning, the same did not get too many opportunities, but used Mayo for a long time, in this regard, until Fogg determined to return to the CBA league to play, and reached an agreement with the Liaoning men's basketball team, his departure became a foregone conclusion.
And Simmons up to 4 million US dollars contract, is to become liaoning men's basketball team signed Fensen, there is an incompatible small foreign aid, but simmons and Fensen's biggest difference is a very high tactical literacy 2-3 position swinger, it can even be said that joined the Liaoning men's basketball team for more than 1 month, Liaoning fans did not see him completely trusted performance, for a professional player who proved himself in the NBA, but can not apply the CBA league at the peak age, it is indeed a certain degree of controversy.
It is reported that this time Simmons joined the Shanxi men's basketball team, through the way of self-reduction, eager to prove themselves again, compared to the championship team led by Liaoning, Shanxi can obviously give him more ample stage and opportunities.
From the level of physical conditions, Simmons and Weems are relatively similar, but Weems is a long-term overseas foreign aid, extremely strong, in the face of different teams, tactical framework, it is easy to adjust in a short period of time, and Simmons only has a year of overseas playing time, obviously still in a state of exploration, the new season of the Shanxi men's basketball team in all aspects are in the rising stage, whether Simmons can lead the team to impact the playoff quota, go further, deeply concerned by the outside world.
