February 10, the update of the "CBA League Free Agent List" Tang Jie is still a free agent, and in the blink of an eye, Guangdong basketball reporter Guan Xin reported that he will complete the registration during the registration window and represent the Guangdong South China Tigers in the third stage of this season's CBA regular season.
The news is not surprising, after all, from the beginning of the season, from Zhuji to Changchun Tang Jie has followed Guangdong training, and now it is natural to officially debut.
But it was also unexpected, after all, that he had been directly expelled from the court by Guangdong South China Tigers coach Du Feng, and the reason was to play mobile phones.
In any case, for Tang Jie to sign Guangdong is an opportunity for him to win by his own efforts, but also an opportunity to justify his name, and the next 10 regular season games, the young man in the no. 30 jersey, no matter how he performs on the court, will get a certain amount of attention.

After all, Tang Jie was only 23 years old.
Ten years ago, 13-year-old Tang Jie represented Hunan Province to play in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, and his intersection with Dongguan Leopards exposed him to professional basketball, and then he was invited to Dongguan for trial training.
Therefore, the teenager Tang Jie began his first professional basketball experience in the youth echelon of Dongguan Leopards, which became his initial fate with the city.
Because of his father's love of basketball, the teenager Tang Jie began to play at his father's friend's training camp at a very young age, and later practiced in the Hunan Youth Basketball Club, becoming a disciple of Hunan defenders such as Luo Hanchen and Yu Dehao;
At that time, although Tang Jie was still a secondary school student at Hunan Geology Middle School, he had already shown a talent that could be valued by the youth coaches of Leopard.
However, Tang Jie's relationship with this city only lasted for 1 month.
From a junior high school student to a member of the professional youth training echelon, Tang Jie, who had just finished middle school, was very uncomfortable with the extremely harsh and arduous training life, and he found Ma Yuenan of the Nanjing Military Region Yueda Basketball Club at this time.
The club began playing in the NBL in 2011, and because of its positioning to send talent to the military, echelon players can be directly enlisted, which is much more secure than the uncertainties of other youth training.
Although he failed to enter the basketball court of the National Games as a soldier, he was brought into the national youth league under the guidance of Fan Bin, and the ghost made god bad that he lost the most crucial three-point shot in the last 11 seconds of the 2016 U18 Asian Youth Championship and the host Iran.
This kind of life photo of Tang Jie's Weibo is in line with Tang Jie's personality self-expression
A year later, when his peers were gradually entering the CBA, he encountered another problem before joining Fujian: the new league rules, you need to play in the youth league for 2 years.
In the end, Tang Jie had to temporarily give up the CBA and go to the NBL for 2 years, until the 2019 draft he was selected by Fujian with the 13th pick in the first round - 2 seasons, Tang Jie became the Tang god of the crowd, but he also did his best with Fujian, appearing as a free agent in the 2021-2022 season.
By the way, last year, he and the agency team planned to participate in the NBA draft, the most important thing is to go to the Training Camp in the United States, but because of this experience, the plan to train in the United States for the visa late finally failed, and it also fell into a joke.
But come to Guangdong South China Tiger, if the editor is distracted, he will cut Tang Jie
10 years later, Tang Jie came to Dongguan again.
This time, it is not the Leopards who have recruited him, this team has already moved to Shenzhen; he wants to join the guangdong South China Tigers, the number one giant in the league, the 11th champion:
He has reached at least the round of four in 19 consecutive years, reached the semifinals 23 times, and lost only 64 games in the regular season in the past 10 years.
Tang Jie's old club, Fujian, lost 61 regular season games in 2 years.
Tang Jie's national youth teammates, Wang Yibo and Cheng Shuaipeng listened to Liu Weiwei's teachings in Zhejiang, Fan Ziming played the best of his career under Yannis Christopoulos this season, and Hu Mingxuan entered the national team with Du Feng's strict requirements and cultivation.
And Tang Jie, he needs such an opportunity to change his career into a dead end.
But before the new story began, Tang Jie was drunk on the head, after training with Guangdong for a period of time, because he could not appear, he was arranged by Du Feng to watch the game on the sidelines, but in the opening match, Tang Jie on the sidelines was directly blasted out of the field by Du Feng.
Instead of watching, he plays with his phone.
Compared to the NBA draft, this joke is bigger.
This is the announcement of the soon-to-be-23-year-old Tang Jie in Guangdong, severe and cruel, as Du Feng said to Zeng Fanri at that time, if you did not value you, you would not have time to take care of you, and he also specifically mentioned this matter in the interview after that:
"Tang Jie is also the kind of dilemma that no team wants him this season, and I know when I am a player that there is no way out, so I will give these players a chance and hope that the players will not waste the opportunity."
That's a very serious statement.
At the most important juncture of his career, Tang Jie had no way back.
In the Shaanxi National Games before joining Guangdong, he represented Hubei to play an average of 23.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game, of which, the average score per game was second only to Guo Allen, and Guangdong played the whole game, bombarding 35 points and 9 assists, showing the persistence and tenacity of the basketball dream, which may be the reason why Tang Jie finally impressed the South China Tigers.
This season's Guangdong is struggling in the quagmire of personnel rotation shortage, especially in the past long-term talent surplus of the defender line accidents, Zhao Rui is absent, Hu Mingxuan's state is fluctuating, and at present only Xu Jie is strongly supported, more than Guangdong's recent wave of 3 consecutive championships in any period of eager vitality;
What Guangdong wants is actually the Tang Jie who will fight against him at the National Games
Tang Jie is a typical Hunan personality, free but resilient, looking at the goal will not give up lightly, his performance when playing in Fujian is not good, but he is very cherished for every ball, which is what Tang Jie should continue to maintain in Guangdong;
In the CBA, Tang Jie played only 2 seasons and 56 games, playing a total of 850 minutes, but 14 single-game scores in double figures.
He averaged only 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in his rookie year, but had 1.5 turnovers; but in his second season, he rose to 6.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 steals, and the turnover dropped to 1.1, and the shooting percentage also improved slightly.
The slight progress is that Tang Jie is slowly adapting to the professional league, but Fujian already has its own plan, they left super foreign aid Robert Gordon, and selected the long-desired Xiamen University defender Li Yiyang.
By the way, rookie Li Yiyang is actually more than half a year older than Tang Jie, who has played NBL for 2 years and CBA for 2 years - 23-year-old Tang Jie has his own immaturity and his own advantages.
Coming to Guangdong, Tang Jie has a lot to change.
Although there will be good performances in the National Games, last season in Fujian can also contribute 6.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 steals in 17.4 minutes, but this has a special background behind it.
Last season's Fujian was reduced to a fish belly, Tang Jie played a lot of garbage time, and the most important thing for Dai Yong in Hubei at the National Games to use him was to try to make him give up the ball and turn to a simpler attacking task;
After joining Guangdong, Du Feng also does not need Tang Jie to dominate the ball like Xu Jie, and may be more hoping that he will ambush on the flank like the National Games to do the reception, and use speed to bring out the rhythm that Guangdong hopes to see in the offensive and defensive conversion.
Obviously, Tang Jie needs to change his past sticky ball habits, learn from his friend Hu Mingxuan, compress the ball and boldly release the attack power.
Hu Mingxuan is the player who benefited the most from Marzan Brooks and the double small foreign squad, and in the early days he also faced many problems such as the distribution of ball rights and inadaptation like Tang Jie, and his state fluctuated greatly, but after Maxon dominated the ball, he became one of the most efficient players in the league, calm three-pointers, tireless fast attack, and finally, let him find his own foothold and win the Finals MVP.
Tang Jie's members of the National Youth League, Hu Mingxuan, Wang Yibo and Huang Rongqi are also very fast players, but their respective circumstances are different:
After struggling in his early years, Hu Mingxuan found his positioning, starting from the defense and conversion of blue-collar workers, and gradually improved;
Wang Yibo gradually improved his organizational ability and strengthened confrontation, and is now one of the famous small steel cannons;
Huang Rongqi failed to play double guard and is now trying to transform into an organizer, but there are also many mistakes.
The third year of his career, 23 years old, for Tang Jie, who is 186cm tall, weighs only 73KG or even has an arm span of only 180cm, this change of door is probably his most important inflection point, to the left is to enter the house, to the right may be ruthlessly abandoned.
Although the nicknames of Tang Shen and Forever Di Jie have always been in the focus of public opinion, nicknames such as Tang Shen and Forever Di Jie are mostly out of ridicule and ridicule, but Tang Jie of the Lotte Sect has always been good at finding the driving force to move forward, and it is not difficult to label it.
When he was in Fujian, Tang Jie was the regulator of the team's atmosphere and got along well with his teammates, and his personal relationship with Hu Mingxuan, Zhao Rui and others before joining Guangdong was good.
10 years ago, Tang Jie chose the path in Dongguan that he thought might be more suitable for him and perhaps easier, but that also made him float for 10 years; and now, he is back here - as if fate wants to give him the opportunity to start again, he must choose a more difficult and hard road, sink down to find the space for the sublimation of life, maybe that is the foundation of young people.
"Although I am not a Maxima, I will definitely try to get closer to the goal."
Tang Jie once said.
This time, I hope he can see clearly the target that he can run to with all his might.
