On February 2, Beijing time, CBA club Shanghai Sharks Released a new message, determining that the team's third foreign aid Fredette could not come to China to play in the CBA in the third stage, which means that Fredette will completely miss this season's CBA game, that is, Shanghai team can not form a successful three foreign aid combination.
The Shanghai Shark official specifically wrote: "It is very regrettable to inform everyone that Jimmer Fredette was unable to meet the team in the third stage as planned because his wife unfortunately suffered from pregnancy and had to accompany and take care of him as a husband." It also means he won't play the remaining games of the season for the Sharks. ”
In the original plan of the Shanghai team, the club has given Fredette a visa and booked a ticket for January 31, but unfortunately Fredette cannot come to China because of family affairs, and the CBA old acquaintance will temporarily bid farewell to the CBA stage. Fredette has played a total of 4 CBA seasons, all for Shanghai, the average data per game is super foreign aid level, the first year exploded a staggering 37.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals, three consecutive seasons averaged more than 35 points per game, last season in the average of 31.8 minutes per game, Fredette still has 27 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals.
Fredette's inability to play will have a certain impact on the Shanghai Sharks, after all, it is a CBA strong foreign aid at the peak. However, the Shanghai team also reserves two foreign aides in the team, namely Franklin and Feng Lai, of which Franklin's performance as a small foreign aid is very good, averaging 16.3 points, 7 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.6 minutes per game, and the second stage of the finale is facing the defending champion Guangdong, Franklin only played 21 minutes, achieved 6 of 12, hit 5 three-pointers, cut 22 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and helped Shanghai defeat the powerful Guangdong team. These performances are enough to highlight Franklin's excellence.
Of course, Fredette determined that he could not return to the team, naturally there will still be an impact, which means that the Shanghai team has lost the opportunity to form three foreign aides, looking at the current CBA field, there are even teams equipped with four foreign aid combinations, Beijing two teams Beijing Shougang and Beijing Control are four foreign aid, more foreign aid means that there are more tactical possibilities, there will be a strength advantage in the paper lineup.
After playing the first two stages of this season in a total of 28 games, the Shanghai Sharks ranked second in the standings with 23 wins and 5 losses, second only to the strong Liaoning men's basketball team, and even more to suppress Guangdong, Zhejiang, Guangsha and other championship favorites, and the Shanghai team played the best performance in the same period in the past ten seasons. I believe that the current Shanghai team has the possibility of impacting the finals and trying to replicate the achievements of the former champions, the Shanghai Sharks, will become the champion spoilers!
