If Guangsha is the most low-key team outside the entire CBA, it is not too much to say, in the window period after the first stage, there is no news about their relevant reinforcements, until the second stage is near, there are many rumors that Shenzhen's third foreign aid Jarod Jones may join Guangsha, and sure enough, on the last day of the registration period, Jones's name really appeared in the Guangsha list, and there are currently 4 games for Guangsha. Jones averaged 15.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, which is not bad overall.
However, Guangsha does not seem to be satisfied with the status quo, recently according to basketball media people I first pondered for a while to reveal that the former NBA detective Lang Jia Hill Okafu will join Guangsha, it is reported that Okafor himself has arrived in China, is undergoing isolation, should have the opportunity to catch up with Guangsha in the second stage of the game in the middle and late stages. As a 15-year tanhualang, Okafor graduated from the famous basketball school Duke University, and in his rookie season, he could finish with 17.5 points, 7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, and successfully won the best rookie team. Although because of the lack of projection and bad defensive end, Okafor was gradually abandoned by the NBA, successively transferred to the 76ers, Nets, Pelicans, Pistons and other teams, but after all, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, like Okafor such a tall arm length of the inner line (height 2 meters 11, arm span to 2 meters 26), to the CBA such a dimensionality reduction hit stage, should also be very good.
In the 3 group games representing the Nigeria men's basketball team at the Tokyo Olympics this summer, Okafor could efficiently score 9 points and 4.7 rebounds in only 15 minutes of playing time, shooting 80.2% from the field, and in the last game against Italy, Okafor was even more crazy with 14 points and 8 rebounds, which destroyed the opponent's restricted area. Admittedly, a traditional interior like Okafor may really not be very suitable for the NBA stage, but when it comes to the CBA without defending for three seconds, he has a good chance of becoming an interior killer.
Unlike the original "Elvis Presley" El Jefferson joined Xinjiang in the twilight of his career, Okafor is only 26 years old, in the year of the game, whether it is physical health or speed explosiveness, are at the peak of his career, as long as he can put down his body, it is a good chance to break out of the sky in the CBA, and then knock on the NBA door again. And the joining Guangsha has exactly one of the league's top veterans, with the blessing of victory, Okafor will also let himself get better experience.
At present, Guangsha temporarily ranks third in the league with a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, second only to Liaoning and Zhejiang Chouzhou (the record is flat).
At present, their internal line already has Hu Jinqiu, Xu Zhonghao and Dawai Jones, if there is Okafor joining, Guangsha's inner line will definitely be the CBA's premier top level. Although Jones' big foreign aid data is really good, but in terms of guarding the frame, he does have more room for improvement, and Okafor, who played a famous tanhualang in the NBA, even if he is a famous defensive black hole in the NBA, but if he really wants to come to the CBA stage where the competitiveness is far less than the NBA, it is not impossible to "reduce the dimension".
At present, Guangsha's average rebounding per game is only 45.8 of the eighth in the league, and the defensive rebound is only 31.2 of the ninth in the league, if the rebound is not guaranteed, it will seriously affect a group of sharpshooters on the outside line, so in the case of small foreign aid temporarily there is no suitable candidate, it is a wise move to choose to continue to strengthen their own interior line.
