On January 12, Beijing time, the North Control men's basketball team announced on its official social media account that the "Black Mountain Giant Tower" Marco Todorovic has passed the CBA league review and will officially become a member of the team, and also posted a picture of him participating in training. On the same day, the Guangzhou men's basketball team also officially announced that they signed the 2017 NBA first-round No. 18 show TJ Lief. The addition of two big foreign aides will obviously enhance the strength of Beijing Control and Guangzhou, perhaps they can not threaten the top teams in the standings such as Liaoning, Guangsha, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Guangdong for the time being, but the 4 teams such as Shanxi, Shenzhen, Beijing and Shandong, which are not much different from their records, should be careful.
Born in 1992, Todorović is 2.10 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms, and can play both the 4th and 5th positions. He was selected by the Blazers with the 45th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, but then played in La Liga for many years and followed the giants Barca to the Spanish League and Copa del Rey.
In the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, Todorovic represented the Tianjin men's basketball team in the CBA League and performed very well. Last season in particular, he averaged 29.7 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.2 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game, making him one of the CBA's best performers. This time his joining will make the inner strength of the North Control men's basketball team stronger, and at the same time, unlike the blue-collar foreign aid Haas, Todorovic's offensive ability and organizational ability are better, and the technical characteristics can complement Haas.
Born in 1997, TJ-Liff is a space-type big forward with a height of 2.08 meters. He was selected by the Pacers with the 18th pick in the first round of the 2017 Draft and also played for the Blazers last season. After joining the Guangzhou men's basketball team, he will wear the No. 22 jersey to play.
The Guangzhou men's basketball team praised him on official social media for his "diverse offensive means, soft feel, excellent basket footwork and long-range shooting skills and good coping ability; the defensive end is active, and he can reasonably use his body to grab rebounds or complete blocks." "With Lev, coupled with Mason, who is getting better and better, the Guangzhou men's basketball team, which already has a dark horse posture, their strength will also go to a higher level.
At present, the record of the Guangzhou men's basketball team is 14 wins and 7 losses, ranking 8th in the standings; the Record of the Beijing Men's Basketball Team is 11 wins and 10 losses, ranking 11th in the standings. If the two big foreign players can smoothly integrate into the team, then the 4 teams ranked next to each other must be careful.
