On February 6, Beijing time, the Guangdong men's basketball team officially announced a shocking news, they decided to terminate the contract with meritorious foreign aid Marshon Brooks. This news caused an uproar in the basketball circle, and what is even more surprising is that, according to the sources of domestic media person Inspector Zhao, this is already the 23rd foreign player to leave the CBA this season.
CBA is highly competitive
The CBA, as China's top basketball league, attracts outstanding players from all over the world. But the competition here is so fierce that even the NBA can't match it. In the CBA, foreign players not only have to shoulder the burden of scoring, but also need to step up at critical moments to save the team from defeat. Not only do they have to be good offensively, but they also have to contribute on the defensive end.
However, when these players get older, their athleticism declines, or their form is not good, their fate often becomes precarious. In the CBA, performance and performance are the key to everything. When the performance of foreign players no longer meets the team's expectations, or when the team needs to bring in more quality players, they can be ruthlessly cut.
Marchand was brutally laid off
Marchand is a good example. As a meritorious foreign aid of the Guangdong men's basketball team, he has made great achievements for the team and helped the team win many championships. But as he grew older and his form declined, he still couldn't escape the fate of being laid off. Such an ending is undoubtedly a pity for Ma Shang and the Guangdong men's basketball team.
Twenty-three foreign aid players were laid off
And that's just a microcosm of the CBA's cutthroat competition. Twenty-three foreign players have left the CBA this season, a number that speaks volumes about how fierce the competition is here. Some of these foreign players were cut because of age and form, while others were replaced because the team needed to bring in stronger players.
But whatever the reason, they have worked hard for the CBA league in the past, bringing great games and memorable moments to the fans. Their departure not only made the fans feel sorry, but also made the entire CBA league lose some color.
Author's point of view
In the end, the author feels that competitive sports are so cruel, whether it is the NBA or the CBA, it is the same. Here, only strength and performance are the last word. Players have to be at their best at all times to get their ground in the competition. As for the team, they must also be vigilant and ready to bring in better players to strengthen the team.
