The Guangsha team completed the registration of Jalil Okafor
Just now, the CBA company officially announced the guangsha team to register the new foreign aid information, the former NBA detective Jalil Okafor officially joined the guangsha team, he will wear the no. 15 jersey, represent the guangsha team to participate in the third stage of the CBA game. The Guangsha team had only one foreign aid, Jarrod Jones, so during the second phase of the CBA, they struggled to find a new foreign player, and after many considerations, they set their sights on Jalil Okafor, and the two sides finally reached an agreement and completed the signing. With the arrival of Jalil Okafor, Guangsha also completed the reinforcement work this season.
Jalil Okafor is 27 years old, he is 2 meters 11 tall, weighs 125kg, arm span of 2.26 meters, is a young and famous player, in college can be said to be famous in the United States, NCAA 14-15 season, he led the team to win the NCAA championship, but also set a number of new records for the team, very remarkable.
In 2015, Jalil Okafor entered the NBA draft and was selected by the 76ers with the third pick, becoming the probing flower of that year's draft. In his first season in the NBA, he handed over 17.5 points and 7 rebounds, which is arguably a great personal data, because of his outstanding performance, into the MBA Best Rookie First Team. However, he peaked on his debut, and in his second season, his personal data plummeted, with only 11.8 points and 4.8 rebounds. In the third season, Jalil Okafor was traded to the Nets, and then he was plagued by injuries and did not perform well, and then Jalil Okafor played for the Pelicans, Pistons, Eagles and other teams, and he was cut by the Eagles last October to become a free agent.
Test the waters of CBA and usher in new challenges
From the perspective of personal talent, Jalil Okafor is 2 meters 11 meters tall, weighs 125kg, and has an arm span of 2.26 meters, which can be said to be almost nothing picky, but the previous meniscus injury can be said to have a very important impact on his career, and how much power he still has is not easy to say at present. Coming to the CBA League this time, it can also be said that he made a very bold attempt, whether he can succeed or not, but also related to whether he can return to the NBA League in the future. But then again, if Jalil Okafor can play 8-90% of the power, then he will be in the CBA League.
Complements Hu Jinqiu and forms a pearl-to-pearl combination
Judging from Jalil Okafor's personal skills, he has a lot of scoring means on the offensive end, with back-to-back hits, hookers, and back-up jumpers, and it can be said that his basket skills are almost perfect, and he is a very technical player. On the defensive end, his rebounding ability is very outstanding, at the same time, he is also very strong, not afraid of physical confrontation, in the CBA can be said to be a "big Mac" under the basket, even against players like Han Dejun, it will not suffer losses.
There is no doubt that the arrival of Jalil Okafor and Hu Jinqiu are completely complementary, the two are a combination of pearls, Hu Jinqiu is a very spiritual inside player, very good at "eating cake" under the basket, the level of shooting is very high. However, his physical confrontation ability is insufficient, and now with the arrival of Jalil Okafor, the two can be said to be in the water under the basket, forming a complementary complement, so that the guangsha team's internal strength directly rose to the top level of the CBA.
At present, guangsha team with 22 wins and 6 losses, ranked third in the CBA standings, second only to Liaoning team and Shanghai team, it can be said that Guangsha team has the strength to challenge Liaoning team, Guangdong team, the team has the ability to impact the CBA championship. Nowadays, the joining of top foreign aid Jalil Okafor is undoubtedly a great increase in the strength of the Guangsha team and a good help for Hu Jinqiu to win the championship. Perhaps, the next biggest opponent of the Liaoning team is not the Guangdong team, but the Guangsha team.
