Liaoning basket is facing a difficult choice, Zhang Zhenlin went to the United States to train Liu Zhixuan is expected to stay in the team, Li Hongqing may have a big hand. The CBA League 2021-2022 season ended in a bland water, and in the end Liaoning won the championship of the season without controversy. However, a few joys and a few sorrows, in this season's playoffs a number of team managers have been dismissed, so more teams in this offseason will undergo personnel adjustments, coupled with the team's reinforcements, it is conceivable that this year's offseason is much more lively than in previous years.
Although today's Liaoning basketball is a spring breeze and a horseshoe disease, the team still has many hidden dangers to be solved. Liaoning team won the double championship of the National Games and the league this season, and the scenery was unique for a while. However, the problem of the team's first core Guo Allen's whereabouts has become the top priority for general manager Li Hongqing to solve, and at the first time of winning the championship, Guo Allen was expressionless and even calmer than other players, and he seemed to be depressed when he stayed in the corner alone, so the news about Guo Allen's departure from the team was very loud.
This is not surprising, after all, Guo Allen's contract will expire this summer, but he did not get the MVP of the finals, and the opponent in the finals did not stimulate Guo Allen's fighting spirit at all, so Guo Allen did not show any excitement. However, with a document about Guo Allen's application to become a coach was revealed, Guo Allen is basically impossible to leave the team, and this summer Li Hongqing will personally send a maximum salary contract to let Guo Allen rest at ease, which is also the top priority of the renewal of all players.
Another player is Zhang Zhenlin, according to outside reports, Zhang Zhenlin is currently going through the formalities, he is likely to go to the United States in a few days for special training, so that he can participate in the summer league, and then become a springboard to log into the NBA. This is not surprising, after all, the 23-year-old Zhang Zhenlin is in the ascendancy of his career, and letting him go to a higher stage development is what all fans want to see, but it puts Li Hongqing in a dilemma, so this summer Li Hongqing must be prepared with both hands to prevent no one from using the front line next season.
Liu Zhixuan, who is also a small forward, will also face a contract extension this summer, and once Zhang Zhenlin cannot return, then Li Hongqing will start to renew his contract with Liu Zhixuan, after all, the former veteran can still play his residual heat. In addition, according to the report, the Liaoning team has set its sights on Zhao Lizhou, who was once the second core of the Jiangsu team, joined the three-person basketball league last season, and his body has been well restored, coupled with the expiration of Zhao Lizhou's contract, so the possibility of Zhao Lizhou returning to Liaoning basketball is not ruled out.
Li Hongqing did not rule out the possibility of still having a big hand, and finally won the second championship in the history of the team without too much reinforcement, which made Liaoning basket get almost 30 million or so bonuses, then next season Liaoning team is also a big hit for the championship, but such as Guangdong team and Shougang team will not sit still, this season it is their early exit to give Liaoning basket the opportunity to win the championship, so Liaoning team must have further promotion to achieve the defense of the title.
Although the double foreign aid of Fogg and Morland is decent, but in the face of the challenge of Marshon Brooks' return, I am afraid that it will become the weakness and disadvantage of Liaoning Basket, so Li Hongqing may introduce more explosive foreign aid to prevent this from happening. And with foreign aid like Adams and Moldy, Liaoning can try to explore, maybe for its own use.
