Zhou Qi officially announced his comeback, Zhu Fangyu signed a high-profile national player insider, and Ma Shang may be laid off
Zhou Qi officially announced his comeback!
For the majority of Hongyuan fans, after seeing the various wonderful performances of the Hongyuan inside sweet potatoes in the first stage, they miss Zhou Qi more and more who is still recuperating from his injury. In fact, Zhou Qi is in a hurry to make a comeback more than anyone else, he joined Hongyuan to compete for the championship, seeing that the team is in frequent situations because of his absence, Zhou Qi himself must want to make a comeback immediately. And Hongyuan official also announced Zhou Qi's comeback time, Hongyuan boss Zhu Fangyu also directly indicated that Zhou Qi will come back in the second phase during the live broadcast; Hongyuan team reporter Guan Xin even wrote that Zhou Qi's recovery is very smooth, and it is expected to complete the comeback ahead of schedule in the second stage!
If Zhou Qi can make a comeback, then almost all of Hongyuan's problems can be solved. The problem exposed by Hongyuan in the first stage is actually very simple, the offensive and defensive strength of the interior is too poor, there is no independent offensive ability, and there is no stable pie-eating performance, and there is no frame protection and no rebounding protection ability on the defensive end. Relying on Zhang Mingchi, Zhao Xuhong, and Xu Xin, the three big sweet potatoes on the inside, Hongyuan's guard line has to work very hard to barely fill the hole, and once Zhou Qi returns, as the first inside line in the local area, his strength is naturally not comparable to Zhang Mingchi and Zhao Xuhong, Zhou Qi's own defensive system will completely liberate Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie and the two foreign aids, and Hongyuan's offensive end will bloom!
Zhu Fangyu high-profile signing of the national player's inside line!
Of course, some fans believe that even if Zhou Qi returns, it will not be able to solve all the problems - after all, Zhou Qi's physical strength is limited, and he has just recovered from injury, playing 20 to 25 minutes per game after his comeback is already a lot, and the rest of the time has to be made up by the sweet potatoes. For this, Zhu Fangyu is also confident. In the live broadcast, Zhu Fangyu made it clear that Hongyuan is discussing a deal with the Qingdao men's basketball team about Liu Chuanxing, the inside line of the national player, and Hongyuan is expected to get this all-star center who was originally from his own youth training! Liu Chuanxing is 2.25 meters tall and was once known as "Little Yao Ming", and he is very good at both offensive and defensive ends, and it is definitely more than enough to serve as Zhou Qi's substitute! Everyone rarely sees Zhu Fangyu directly negotiate the signing before the transaction is completed, which shows that Zhu Fangyu is indeed very confident in getting this veteran this time.
Marchand may be laid off!
After playing the first stage, many Hongyuan fans wanted to cut Marchand or use him as a third foreign player. The reason why Marchand is disliked by so many fans is because the decline in competitive form is too obvious. After the major injury, Marchand's athleticism and speed have undergone an avalanche decline, and now he is both inefficient and inefficient in possession of the ball, and his overall offensive effect is even inferior to that of local players (Hu Mingxuan's average points per game are only 1.6 points lower than Marchand's when the shooting rights are greatly behind). What Hongyuan needs most now is the forward outside or the inside outside help, and an inefficient small foreign aid like Marchand is indeed too hindering the team's progress. After Zhu Fangyu signed Waters, Hongyuan should actually sign a striker foreign aid, continue to blindly superstitious Marchand, and sign a high contract extension with him, which is Zhu Fangyu's stupidest operation in recent years.
