The Qingdao men's basketball team contacted foreign aid to play Sichuan for the first time
After the CBA league announces the announcement of the new season, the first thing each CBA club has to do is to determine their own foreign aid. The Qingdao Guoxin Haitian men's basketball team, which has attracted the attention of Qingdao fans, has long been determined to continue to use the two American foreign assistants Darius Adams and Dacary Johnson, who have played for the team for the previous two seasons. But with only half a month to go until the start of the new season, it's a bit difficult for the two to catch up with the early start of the new season.
The Qingdao Guoxin Haitian men's basketball team is currently playing warm-up games in other places, and the club is also making various preparations for the new season step by step, and the new season departure ceremony is scheduled to be held on October 9. At the same time as the league's announcement, a schedule for the first stage of the new season was also announced. Although the "Guangdong Derby" was determined as the opening match, on October 16, the earliest match was the match between Jilin and Tongxi at 12:30. The Qingdao men's basketball team will make its second appearance at 15:00 on the same day, and the opponent is the Sichuan men's basketball team.
At the end of last season, Qingdao men's basketball coach Wu Qinglong said that if there is no special situation, the new season will continue to use Two American foreign aides, Dalius Adams and Dacary Johnson. Previously, the club had been in contact with two foreign aides. However, in view of the CBA's official delay in announcing the foreign aid policy for the new season, it was even once rumored that it would start the game in the form of an "all-Chinese class". This also makes the two foreign players of the Qingdao team full of questions about the new season of the CBA.
Fortunately, now that the league has finally announced the exact foreign aid policy, Qingdao team has not hesitated to exercise the priority renewal rights of Adams and Johnson. "Both foreign aides have been playing in the team for the first two seasons, and there is no problem with the way the team plays, including the run-in between the players, so we will definitely use the right of priority renewal, but at present it is only about two weeks before the start of the new season, and the foreign aid wants to return to the team involving a series of problems such as visas, air tickets, quarantine, etc. What their status is unknown, what we can do is to hurry up and let them return." Said the club staff.
