The second phase of the CBA League is over, with each team playing 28 games and the players are watching whether the players are doing well or bad. Under today's CBA rules, each team can give up to three Category D top salary contracts. And some of these top-salary contracts have become garbage contracts.
There is such a player, who holds one of the three top salary contracts in the team, but his performance is arguably the worst of the top salary players this season. He played 18 games, averaging just 2.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 turnovers in 15 minutes per game. He played for the Shenzhen team before transferring to the Xinjiang men's basketball team and played well in the Xinjiang team. In 19 years, his contract with the Xinjiang men's basketball team expired, and he chose to leave for the maximum salary contract.
Fans familiar with the Xinjiang men's basketball team probably guessed that this player is Sun Tonglin, who now plays for the Beijing Control men's basketball team. As a veteran who has played the CBA for 11 seasons, Sun Tonglin's performance this season is really difficult to say. Head coach Marbury also gradually lost patience with him, giving him few opportunities to play in the second stage of the game. During the Xinjiang men's basketball period, Sun Tonglin's role at both ends of the attack and defense was very obvious, and the efficiency was also very high. The age of 29, which is supposed to be the peak age of a player, had no idea he would slip so significantly this season. You know, Sun Tonglin's contract with Beijing Enterprises still has three years (including this season), if Sun Tonglin's performance has been so bad, the contract of the North Control men's basketball team has really lost a lot. After all, he still has to occupy the D top salary quota for two years, which means that Beijing Control cannot use the maximum salary to grab players in the next two years.
In fact, Sun Tonglin's attitude has always been more positive, but after arriving at the North Control men's basketball team, he was somewhat unsatisfied, and the performance of these seasons was not as good as that of the original Xinjiang period. He became the worst-performing top-salary player of the season, more or less related to the team's system. There is nothing wrong with leaving the Xinjiang men's basketball team for the maximum salary, after all, this may be his last big contract. If Sun Tonglin had stayed in the Xinjiang men's basketball team, would his performance be different now?
