On February 23, Beijing Shougang officially announced hamilton's official return to the team, and the team has completed all registration procedures for him. So far, the 4 foreign aides signed by Beijing Shougang this season have all been in place. One team signed four foreign players in a season, which is unique among the twenty CBA teams...
Compared with other teams in the league, Shougang's heavy investment in foreign aid this season can be called the real "local tycoon" of the CBA. Despite the severe shrinkage of the CBA schedule this season, the Shougang team has not been stingy in foreign aid. They first signed Gibson, and then signed Jeremy Lin and Brown in the second stage, and just when people were surprised by Shougang's heavy investment, the arrival of the fourth foreign aid Hamilton stunned the entire league.
It is worth mentioning that Beijing Shougang, which has created a brilliant "4 years and 3 crowns", although it is now making great efforts to attract reinforcements inside and outside, in recent seasons, the Shougang team, which has strived to win the championship, has been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs many times. The more cruel and grim reality is that on the one hand, the Shougang team "spends money like dirt" in the introduction of reinforcements, on the other hand, the team's reserve talent training is not cared about, and the phenomenon of local players "not picking up" is even more disastrous...
Strictly speaking, since the end of the "Min Lulei era", the Shougang team has completely abandoned the cultivation of young players, and the team has since entered the "buy, buy, buy" cash-burning mode, and has also been "nibbling" the old money accumulated by Min Lulei in that year. Today, the main rotation lineup of Beijing Shougang is probably divided into three types of players. The first is the batch that was "bought", the second is the foreign aid combination signed by heavy money, and the third is the batch cultivated during Min Lulei's coaching period.
Let's first look at several players in the "Min Lulei period", 29-year-old Zhai Xiaochuan, who has played for the team for 11 seasons; Zhu Yanxi, 32, who has played for the team for 11 seasons; Wang Xiaohui, 33, who has played for the team for 14 seasons; Fang Shuo, 32, who has played for the team for 13 seasons; and Chang Lin, 35, who has played for the team for 7 seasons. And these players who were trained by Min Lulei in the past are still the main rotation players of the Shougang team.
Look at the batch bought by these Shougang teams, Liu Xiaoyu who was "bought" from the Shanghai team, Zhou Yixiang (who just terminated the contract) imported from Xinjiang, Tian Yuxiang and Raymond from the original Bayi team who "picked up leaks", Fan Ziming who "bought" from Xinjiang, and Li Muhao, who "bought" from Shenzhen. These imported "outsiders" are now also the main rotation players of the team.
Another component is foreign aid, Gibson, Jeremy Lin, Brown, Hamilton, Shougang in this season's schedule seriously shrunk, and "4 quarters and 4 person-times" foreign aid using the new deal, still signed four foreign aid in one go, and the salary is one game at a time. Next, the "marquee style" of the 4 foreign aides of the Shougang team will take turns to play, which will also become a unique landscape in the CBA arena.
The above types of rotation lineups have added up to 15 players, weakly asking, when will the young players of the Shougang team have a day to emerge? Known as the "master" level bald coach Yannis, what young players have been trained for Shougang over the years?
Looking at today's CBA leagues, Guangdong, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Xiamen, Shenzhen, Xinjiang and other teams, young players have sprung up like mushrooms, and many post-00s have become the team's fresh force. On the other hand, today's Shougang men's basketball team, in the past eight years, has not cultivated a decent young player, which is really sad...
