According to domestic media reports, after Zhu Songwei, Beijing defender Liu Xiaoyu will also join the Bay Area Pterodactyls.
The little-known team signed fourteen players in one fell swoop this offseason, many of them from the CBA.
The list is: Scotty Ewing, Lin Juehua, Hui Long'er, Zhang Zhiyuan, Yang He.
Zheng Qilong, Si Kun, Song Jianhua, Liu Chuanxing, Qiao Wenhan, Nicholson, Ju Mingxin, and the first two.
Previously, there were media reports that the annual salary offered by the Bay Area Wing Dragons to Liu Chuanxing was incomparably close to the top salary of the CBA.
The annual salary offered to Zhu Songwei is also far more than the contract provided by the Sichuan team.
Teacher Su Qun, a well-known domestic basketball commentator, recently revealed that the budget of the Bay Area Pterodactyls this year is as high as 12 million US dollars.
Converted into renminbi through real-time exchange rates, that is 81 million yuan, which is even more exaggerated than many European clubs.
So rich and powerful, the Bay Area Pterodactyls team that signed people without blinking an eye, what is the origin?
The Bay Area Pterodactyls, known in English as Bay Area Dragons, temporarily hosted manila in the Philippines due to the epidemic in Hong Kong.
The team has a very short history, in March this year, and has only been five months so far.
The founder's name is Matt Bayer, who was Yi Jianlian's personal translator, and the general manager of the team is Liu Quansheng, the former general manager of the Chinese Basketball Association.
As for the head coach, it is the Australian men's basketball coach and former Guangdong assistant coach Gore.
Before 2019, there were two semi-professional leagues in Asia, one called Super Eight and one called Extraordinary 12.
Due to the epidemic, the two began to cancel the game in 2020, and then Matt Bayer chose to host the East Asian Premier League.
The league's investors, including former NBA players Baron Davis, Artest, and The American Raine Group Bank, have previously offered $3 billion to try to buy Chelsea Football Club.
The Bay Area Pterodactyls, which is affiliated with the Eastern Super League, is a club directly managed by the league, which is why they have such a huge amount of money just five months after their establishment, in Chinese colloquialisms:
After talking about the wealth and wealth of the Bay Area Pterodactyl Team, let's talk about China.
There may be a section of fans who resent the Pterodactyls' approach, believing they are creating chaos for the CBA.
But on the contrary, I like the chaos, and even think that the more chaos the better, it is better to have more players go out.
Because only by losing more players can the CBA experience tension, rather than relying on the mountain to eat the mountain forever.
Only when there is competition can there be progress, there is progress, and only then can there be hope in Chinese basketball.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Rui is also currently in contact with overseas league teams, but it is not clear whether it is the Bay Area Pterodactyls.
