Beijing time on September 14, from the CBA new season officially started more than a month, according to domestic media reports, CBA recently finalized the specific format of the new season, it is reported that the new season will follow the previous tournament system, the specific location will be selected in Qingdao and Zhuji two cities. After the format was determined, the teams have launched actions, such as Guangdong Hongyuan, Shanghai men's basketball team and other teams have begun to sign foreign aid. On the Horizons side, they completed a $14 million contract and renewed the contract with the team's meritorious veteran Weems. After all, Zhu Fangyu has said before that once the CBA confirms that it can use foreign aid in the new season, the team will immediately renew its contract with Weems. In terms of Liaoning basketball, they also determined the double foreign combination for the new season, and Li Hongqing decided to retain the foreign aid configuration of last season, because Taylor and Fogg's contracts have not yet ended, and the two sides will continue to cooperate. In terms of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, Guo Shiqiang again welcomed strong reinforcements, according to domestic media reports, the Guangzhou men's basketball team officially signed a small foreign aid Nate. Mason, in the process of processing visas and other related formalities for him.
In the past three seasons, Guangdong Hongyuan has been using the foreign aid combination of Ma Shang + Weems, of which Ma Shang missed the finals of two seasons for various reasons, only Weems has not abandoned and accompanied Hongyuan to complete the journey of three full seasons. In fact, Weems has become the second longest foreign player in the history of the Hongyuan team, and the first longest is the famous meritorious jackpot. After three years of playing, he brought hongyuan three championships, and although last season we also saw Thatems inevitably decline in his overall physical condition and competitive status due to his age, he still has the ability to make a final decision at key moments (two consecutive seasons or directly or indirectly end Beijing). Therefore, Zhu Fangyu still did not hesitate to complete the renewal of his contract with him. This time, Weems received a contract extension worth $2 million, about 14 million yuan, which is still worth a lot for such a super foreign aid.
The goal of the Liaoning men's basketball team in the new season remains unchanged, or to impact the championship, but they obviously do not have much energy and money to toss in the field of foreign aid. In the past few seasons, Liaoning Basket has signed a lot of well-known and valuable so-called "super foreign aides", like Stephens, Simmons and others, one big name after another, but unfortunately they have never been able to integrate into the team's tactical system, and they can't play MVP-level performance like Hudson. After discussion, Li Hongqing and Yang Ming finally decided to keep the foreign aid combination last season, because the contracts of the two foreign aides Fogg and Taylor have not yet ended. Of course, The contract-terminated Mayo has left the team, although everyone feels sorry for him, but Mayo really does not have the ability to lead The Liaoning Basket further.
The Guangzhou men's basketball team made a large-scale personnel adjustment this summer, and Guo Shiqiang personally planned for this. In terms of foreign aid, domestic media reported that the Guangzhou men's basketball team has officially determined the candidate. They signed Nate Mason, who recently played for the Suns in the NBA Summer League. Mason played for Saratov in the VTB league last season, averaging 14.8 points, 2.1 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. Compared with the small foreign aid selected by the Guangzhou men's basketball team to play the point guard, Mason is more like a double guard who takes into account both points and assists.
