Yesterday, Beijing time, the Shandong high-speed men's basketball team officially assembled and began to prepare for the third stage of the CBA regular season. According to Shandong media person Xia Xiaosi, the Shandong men's basketball team is currently contacting the third foreign aid, but it is only in the stage of contact. Some self-media claim that the Shandong men's basketball team will sign another contract with foreign aid Metz, who has played for the team, but this news is not credible at present.
Search for "James Mace" on the headline platform and you can see that there are 3 related pieces of content on February 5, of which the earliest article was released around 12 noon. In the 3 articles, it is said that some basketball agents have revealed that the Shandong men's basketball team will sign a contract with James Metz. However, the reality is that Messe currently plays for Goyang Orion in the South Korean league, and he is not a free agent.
Metz joined The Orion at the end of December last year, replacing Radulica, an inside and outside player who also played for the Shandong men's basketball team. Metz had previously played in the Korean Basketball League, and after returning to the Korean League, he made his debut on January 6. Just yesterday afternoon, Metz also represented the team in the match against the Sun God of Ulsan, wearing the no. 40 jersey, Metz is the only foreign aid of the Gaoyang team at present, and in the end, the team lost by 4 points and failed to beat the opponent.
It can be seen that Metz is currently a contracted player, and in the Gaoyang Orion team, his role is more important. Although the Shandong men's basketball team signed Metz in the 2019-20 season, it is obviously more difficult for Metz to terminate the contract with the Korean team and come to China to join the Shandong men's basketball team in a short period of time. In addition, the Current Big Foreign Aid Ji lunwirt of the Shandong men's basketball team is not worse than Metz in terms of ability, if you want to sign a new foreign aid to replace Giron Water, the Shandong men's basketball team should find a younger and more impactful player, the 36-year-old Metz is obviously not eligible.
Of course, whether the Shandong men's basketball team will really sign a contract with Metz is not finally determined. However, it is certain that the professional media in Shandong Province and the domestic professional basketball media have not reported relevant news at present, so the content released by the self-media can be judged to be untrustworthy for the time being. In the second stage of the finale, Giron Water has already performed well, if he can maintain the state, the Shandong men's basketball team does not have to replace the new big foreign aid.
