The second stage of the CBA regular season is currently in full swing, and the Guangsha team has achieved very good results in the second stage, they have defeated strong opponents such as Guangdong and Beijing, and the only game they lost was to lose to Shenzhen and only lost 1 point to their opponents. At present, Guangsha team ranks second in the league with a record of 18 wins and 3 losses, only one win behind the leader Liaoning team. In the second stage, almost all the foreign aides of the major teams have returned, and the Guangsha team currently has only one foreign aid, Jarod Jones, so the fans are very concerned about when the other foreign aid of the Guangsha team will arrive.
According to domestic media, guangsha has reached a contract with former NBA player Jalil Okafor, and Okafor has also arrived in China at the beginning of this month, and is undergoing a 14+7 quarantine, but because the second stage of the game will end on January 28, all Okafor will not play in the second stage of the game.
For Jalil Okafor, i believe that fans who have watched the NBA should be familiar with it. Okafor was a well-known basketball player in the United States in college, and he led Duke University to the NCAA championship, and he was a great match for Towns. In the 2015 draft, Okafor was selected by seventy-six men. In the rookie season, Okafor was able to get 17.5 points, 7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, and was selected to the all-rookie team. However, due to injuries, Okafor's statistics in the second season declined significantly, and after that, due to Embiid's return, Okafor's playing time was gradually shortened, and then he was traded by the team to the Nets. After joining the Nets, Okafor also failed to usher in a recovery, and in the following seasons he joined the Pelicans, Pistons and other teams, but did not play a good price.
In preseason this season, Okafor played in two games for the Hawks, but he averaged only 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, failing to get a formal signing from the Hawks. In the previous stage, the NBA encountered a panic in employment, and Okafor did not get an invitation from other teams, so he could only choose to go to China to join Guangsha. Although Okafor can no longer be mixed in the NBA, with his talent, coming to the CBA can still be a big killer. Okafor is 2.11 metres tall and has an arm span of 2.27 metres and has decent self-propelled attacking abilities, while he is currently only 26 years old and at the peak of his career.
Guangsha team now has Hu Jinqiu, a domestic top internal line, the arrival of Okafor will be able to form a Guangsha twin towers with Hu Jinqiu, Okafu as a center, Hu Jinqiu playing a big forward, the two of them can be described as complementary, Guangsha team's internal strength will go to a higher level, looking at other teams in the CBA, no team can compete with it. In addition, the Guangsha team also has two top outside combinations of Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao, so the next Guangsha team will become the favorite of the championship, and the two teams of Guangdong and Liaoning will encounter unprecedented challenges. What kind of performance Okafor can play when he joins Guangsha, let's wait and see!
