On February 23, Beijing time, the official website of the CBA updated the registration information of foreign players, and Beijing Shougang has completed the registration for the big foreign aid Justin Hamilton, who will return to the team in the third stage to play for Shougang. Hamilton has played for the Beijing team for four years (not counting this season) since he joined Shougang in the 17-18 season, and when he first arrived in the 17-18 season, he could contribute the CBA career-best 24.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.8 blocks, all-round data, so that fans forgot Morris.
Compared with the predecessor Morris, Hamilton's investment in the defensive end seems to be more favored by coach Yannis, so in the past few years, Hamilton and Shougang have a good cooperation, even if last season was limited by the compression of playing time, But Hamilton can still efficiently finish 16.7 points, 7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in the limited 23.5 minutes of playing time, unlike other big foreign players who stand on the pile, Hamilton also has a good long-range shooting ability, and at the peak (18-19 season), Hamilton's three-point shooting rate was as high as 37.6%. Originally, after the end of last season, Shougang also intended to renew his contract, but because of personal matters, Hamilton did not give a clear response, which also led to Shougang signing three small foreign assistants Gibson, Jeremy Lin and Barry Brown.
Originally thought that Shougang would continue to play with three small foreign games for a full season, but did not want to get the extension of the big Han in the second stage window, which also provided strong support for their sprint in the last 10 games of the third stage. This season, Shougang in the case of having a double tower Fan Ziming and Li Muhao, in terms of rebounding is not too bad, after the end of the second stage, they ranked tenth in the league with 44.6 rebounds, and 31.5 defensive rebounds can be ranked ninth in the league, in the position of some players with large foreign aid, it is not a loss, after all, in addition to Fan Ziming, Li Muhao, and Qiu Tian can be on top. However, now that the big man can be ushered in again, it is definitely a very powerful reinforcement for Shougang to impact the playoffs after that.
In the third stage, Shougang will face Xinjiang, Guangzhou, North Control, Shandong, Ningbo Fubang (each opponent has to play 2 times), and these 5 teams just have big foreign aid, Xinjiang's Mortree needless to say, Guangzhou's new big waileev benefited from the injury of Xiaowai Mason, and also had a stunning performance in the games at the end of the second stage, when playing against Beikong Shuangdawai, it was crazy to win a career-high 47 points and 17 rebounds, as for North Control, sitting on the haas, Todorovic double foreign aid at the same time, There are also Yu Changdong, Zou Yuchen, Wang Shaojie, Sun Tonglin in the domestic internal line configuration, and Shandong and Fubang also have large foreign aid, so the Big Han can return in time and really help Shougang solve the problem of tight internal line.
The first game of the third stage, Shougang will usher in the challenge of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, it is true that this season the other side has lost Zhou Qi, Motai two internal cores, but the average of 27.4 points per game 14.8 rebounds and double-doubles Moretree, the strength can not be underestimated, according to Shougang is now only ranked eighth in the league, want to lock in the playoffs in the third stage, ranked 13th, and only a single foreign aid Xinjiang must win.
