As one of the strongest teams in the CBA league today, the Liaoning men's basketball team has not been able to win the CBA championship in the past 2 seasons, for a variety of reasons, and the introduction and use of foreign aid is an inescapable problem.
Due to the special circumstances of the Liaoning basket, their reinforcements in recent seasons have not been particularly successful. Fergus and Morland, who have played for the team this season, have both proved themselves in other teams, but their performance in the league has been greatly reduced after coming to Liaoning Basket.
Although liaoning basketball clubs are not as big as Shougang, Shanghai and Beijing Control, they have spent a lot of money on reinforcements in the past two seasons. Last season, they brought in Simmons, who played on multiple NBA teams, for a sky-high annual salary of $300.
However, after joining the Liaoning basket, Simmons has always been "unsatisfied" and failed to play a super foreign aid performance. Less than 3 months after playing for the team, Simmons was abandoned by Liao Basket and exchanged him for Molander of The Shanxi team.
Has The Spurs, Magic and 76ers Simmons, who have played in the NBA, really not good? The answer, of course, is no!
In the just-concluded playoffs between Shanxi and Guangzhou, Simmons played a very efficient performance, and in just 19 minutes of playing, he got 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, becoming the same number of contributors that Shanxi was able to beat Guangzhou in this campaign.
Simmons, who is good at attack and defense, frequently uses his physical advantages to score consecutive points in the misplaced duel with Guangzhou players. Not only did he score the team's third-highest 21 points in just 19 minutes, but he also played a very big role in the defense of the Shanxi team.
As the most defensively competent outside player in the team, Simmons did a good job of defending against several outside arrow figures in guangzhou.
In addition, Simmons also showed his own characteristics of a certain organizational ability, in the second half of the game, he was defended by the opponent's bag, he repeatedly sent assists to Yan Pengfei in the Shanxi inner line, so that the latter could often eat cakes under the basket to score, thus cutting the highest 28 points of the two teams, and helping Shanxi team firmly grasp the situation on the court, maintaining the advantage of the score until the last moment of the game.
As an opponent in the next round of the playoffs, the coaching staff and players of the Liaoning men's basketball team also came to the scene to watch the game between Shanxi and Guangzhou.
Coach Yang Ming and his assistant coach have seen Simmons' heroic performance in this battle, and I don't know what Yang Ming's heart will think at this time? You know, this season's Liaoning basket with Simmons in exchange for Morland, its performance in the team can be said to be completely unqualified.
Perhaps now Yang Ming has begun to regret not giving Simmons more time to adapt to the team's tactical system. But it's too late to think about anything, and now Liaoning must be fully prepared for the upcoming playoffs.
Here, we also hope that the coaching staff of Liaoning Basketball can develop the most reasonable tactical play according to the characteristics of all players in the team and for different opponents, and once again launch an impact on the CBA championship this season.
At the same time, we also hope that in the introduction and use of foreign aid, the work can be done more carefully, and we will not miss good foreign aid like Simmons.
