Although there are many strong domestic players in our CBA league at present, it is often their level of foreign aid that determines the upper limit of a team's league performance.
CBA supremacy Guangdong is a typical example, because with super foreign players Ma Shang and Weems, Guangdong team has won consecutive championships in the last 3 seasons.
This season, when Ma Shang is still recuperating and Weems returned to the team shortly after, he still has not fully recovered his form, and the Guangdong men's basketball team has also suffered consecutive defeats in the second stage of the league.
The difficult Guangdong team officially signed the team's second foreign aid Ledo this month. With the addition of Ledo, Guangdong has also won three consecutive league games in the near future.
In the past three games, Ledo has averaged 22.7 points, 12.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game, shooting 30% from three-point range. It can be said that it is Ledo's outstanding performance that successfully activated the Guangdong team, and his technical characteristics are very suitable for the small ball tactical system of the Guangdong team, which has played an extremely important role in both the attack and defense of the team.
As a front-guard swinger, Ledo can not only provide a steady stream of firepower output in the Guangdong team's outside attack. At the same time, he also contributed a lot to the defense of the Guangdong team, especially in terms of defensive rebounding, Ledo performed quite prominently, averaging 11.3 backcourt rebounds per game, currently ranking first in the league.
After grabbing rebounds, Ledo can quickly launch an attack from the backcourt, he can not only score quickly, but also send assists to teammates, averaging 9.3 assists per game, and currently ranks first in the league.
The addition of Ledo has greatly eased the pressure on the Guangdong team in terms of attack, and Yi Jianlian on the inside line has also benefited from this, often taking advantage of the blocking and dismantling with Ledo to easily score on the opponent's inside line.
I have to say that Zhu Fangyu, the general manager of Guangdong Club, is indeed very old in choosing foreign aid, and Ledo has undoubtedly become another successful reinforcement for him after Ma Shang and Weems.
Of course, there are also many counterexamples in today's league, such as Marbury's North Control men's basketball team. In the past two seasons, the north control team has been less successful. Joseph Young, a small foreign player last season, and Landsberg this season, are both failures for North Control.
In the last round of the card position battle with Jilin team, the North Control team has been biting the opponent in the first three quarters, and after entering the fourth quarter, it is also 3 points ahead of The Jilin team. However, in the final moments of the game, North Control's small foreign aid Lanzberg repeatedly missed the opportunity to counter-attack and score, so that the North Control men's basketball team finally lost to the opponent by 1 point.
In this campaign, Landsberg shot just 3 of 14 shots in the game, and his free throw shooting percentage was only a pitiful 50%. Such a poor performance also dragged the Back Legs of the North Control Team. Therefore, although the rookie Liao Sanning's performance in this game was very prominent, scoring a 2-team high of 24 points, in the end, North Control still helplessly lost the game and suffered a recent 2-game losing streak.
From the current situation, in order to be able to get the team back in shape in the third stage of the league, play into the playoffs of this season. The North Control Club is likely to cut Lanzberg in the near future, replacing him with Deng Meng, a small foreign player who played for the Shanghai men's basketball team last season.
For the current North Control team, replacing the small foreign aid may be able to change the current decline of the team to a certain extent. But on a deeper level, manager Marbury is the one who needs the most change.
In terms of tactical arrangement, the old horse lacks sufficient flexibility, and also lacks control over the details in terms of on-the-spot command. The inability to develop a suitable tactical system for the core of foreign aid is the fundamental reason for Lanzberg's sharp decline in form this season.
Therefore, the current North Control men's basketball team not only needs to find foreign aid with more outstanding capabilities, but also needs to equip Marbury with a tactical analyst like Liaoning Martinez to help lao Ma improve the team's tactical system.
If this problem cannot be solved, even if it is exchanged for foreign aid with strong ability, it is difficult for the North Control Team to make a breakthrough in performance.
