With two stages of this season's CBA regular season over, which team in the league has disappointed fans the most? Defending champion Guangdong Hongyuan is probably the first to bear the brunt. After the return of super foreign aid Weems and the addition of new foreign aid Ledo, the Guangdong team still could not stop the decline, losing to Shanghai in the final battle of the stage before the Spring Festival, and suffered 6 defeats in the second stage, completely losing the domineering spirit of the eleventh champion. For Du Feng's team, they are in a deep trough, and now I am afraid that they can only look forward to the return of super foreign aid Ma Shang.
The Guangdong team was in a deep trough
So, where is The former league number one foreign player Ma Shang now? According to Marchand's social media account, he is still recuperating at his home in Atlanta. Although he is far away from the other side of the ocean, Ma Shang is still very concerned about the Guangdong team and his teammates. Prior to this, Marchand had frequently interacted with Weems, and the two often recalled the good days of joining forces to win the championship, and had been looking forward to another strong alliance.
Marchand frequently interacts with Weems
For the previous ban encountered after the conflict between Weems and Han Dejun, Ma Shang also chose to be the first time to complain for his brothers on the social platform. He directly named the CBA and expressed his protest against Weems' unfair punishment, which shows the deep affection between Marchand and Weems.
Ma Shang applauded Guangdong's new signing Ledo
And for his own "stand-in" Ledo signed by the Guangdong team, Ma Shang did not hesitate to praise. In the few games played by Guangdong team, Ledo can be called a "triple-double machine", and its performance has exceeded the expectations of many fans, and it can even be said that it is the most stable point for Guangdong in the second half of the second half of the game. Ledo's outstanding performance was also recognized by Ma Shang, who cheered for Laido's performance on social platforms, and reflected his mood as a member of the Guangdong team.
Ma Shang has always been a member of the Guangdong team
However, although Ma Shang is still a player of the Guangdong team, as far as he has seen so far, Ma Shang still has no signs of returning, although he frequently posts some information related to the Guangdong team on social media, and even has many photos of himself wearing the Guangdong team jersey, but whether Ma Shang has recovered from a major injury with a ruptured Achilles tendon is still unknown. What is more worrying is that in the context of strengthening the control of overseas access at the Winter Olympics, The return of Ma Shang will not only consider the impact of physical recovery, but also consider the increase in the cost of return.
Marchand has had a harder time coming back this season
This is indeed a big problem for the Guangdong team, which has poor results this season and the club's financial resources are difficult to keep up with. And Zhu Fangyu also had to consider many factors to decide a decision that balanced multiple parties. Prior to this, a reporter revealed that Ma Shang's return is now more difficult to operate, coupled with the approaching of the third stage, Ma Shang's state is also difficult to estimate, and the possibility of the Guangdong team giving up the operation of the "little Kobe" return has been greatly increased.
