Long wait brothers, we are ready for the second phase of the CBA!
The original plan was that the league would start on December 25 in Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province, and Changchun City, Jilin Province. However, due to the prevention and control of the epidemic in Zhejiang, the CBA officially decided that all teams will be arranged to be held in Changchun, and as for the start time, there may be some fine adjustments at that time.
In the first stage of the competition, 90% of the teams competed in the all-Chinese class, but in the second stage, everything was different, and as foreign aid from all over the world continued to pour in during the window period, the confrontation of the game increased.
The CBA official website yesterday updated the registration information of foreign players for the 21-22 season, and there is a total of 17-man rosters!
In fact, the teams still have a lot of foreign aid arriving in China but are still in quarantine, so they have not appeared in the CBA League's foreign player registration form.
Among them, there are many champions who have just finished isolation and converged with the Guangdong men's basketball team, Weems, as well as Zhejiang's Laxevic, Shandong's large and small foreign aidEs, Giron Water and Hudson, Shougang's Gibson, Jilin's Jones, Sichuan's Haddadi, North Control's Landsberg, Fujian's Gordon, and Tongxi's Edwards.
As a result, the second stage of the CBA game will play nearly 30 foreign players.
Judging from this list of foreign aides that is enough to affect the league team's combat strength list, in addition to Shanghai's Feng Lai and Guangzhou's Mason, almost all of them are our old acquaintances, and in recent seasons, they have been tossing and turning between several CBA clubs. This also reflects the phenomenon that CBA teams generally favor old foreign aid.
It's actually very easy to understand. From the perspective of the field, the CBA has a reduced schedule and a tight rhythm this season, and signing foreign aides who are familiar with the rhythm of CBA games is conducive to the team's run-in and greatly shorten the adaptation time. It is not that the richer and deeper the foreign aid resume, the more successful it is in the CBA arena, and the NBA half-orc Faried, who has briefly joined the Zhejiang team, is a lesson for the past. Therefore, instead of looking for foreign aid with a little bit of fame, it is better to find foreign aid that is used smoothly;
From the off-field point of view, foreign aid who has played in the domestic league can also reduce some trouble in handling visas and other related procedures, and can quickly join the team during the window period to catch up with the overall rhythm of the team.
Among the heavy reinforcements of each team this year, the most eye-catching is nothing more than Shougang and Liaoning teams.
Beijing Shougang welcomed back Jeremy Lin as he wished, and at the same time renewed Gibson's contract. While the ratings were full, they also stepped into the ranks of the championship team;
The Liaoning team signed two foreign aides in one go, Fergus and Morland.
Replacing Liu Zhixuan, who has not returned from injury this season, and using Moland to enhance the depth of the interior line not only reduces the pressure for Han Dejun, but also solves the problem of insufficient manpower after Wu Changze (hand fracture) is absent.
Morland was also a backup center for the previous Raptors championship season.
In the face of the repeated reinforcements and impacts of Liaoning, Beijing, Shanghai and other teams, I wonder if the Guangdong men's basketball team can defend its title this season under the condition of the continuous deterioration of the UAE's physical functions? What do you think?
