On February 6, Beijing time, an official news of the Guangdong men's basketball team shocked the basketball circle - Triple crown meritorious foreign aid Marshon Brooks was cut. But unexpectedly, this is just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the Ningbo men's basketball team also announced that it had terminated the contract with their foreign player Carlos Curry. These two consecutive layoffs made fans sigh: "I didn't expect the unemployment crisis to spread to the CBA, and it's not easy for foreign aid to get a job!"
"Curry" was laid off
Carlos Curry, although he has the word "Curry" in his name, is not the Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry who dominated the NBA. However, the foreign aid from the Ningbo men's basketball team also showed his strength in the CBA. Since joining the Ningbo Fubang Dingwu men's basketball team, he has played in 10 CBA regular season games for the team, averaging 18.9 minutes per game, contributing 5.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.2 blocks. Although his performance is average, he is already the only foreign aid in the Ningbo men's basketball team.
Competitive sports are so brutal
And Marchand, as the previous scoring point and offensive core of the Guangdong men's basketball team, his departure made fans feel sorry. However, competitive sports are so cruel, whether it is the NBA or the CBA, they are full of competition and challenges. Layoffs are inevitable when a player's form declines or the team needs to bring in better players.
These two layoffs not only surprised fans, but also made them think about how cruel the competition in the CBA league really is. In this league, there is a lot of pressure and challenge for foreign players. Not only do they have to be very individual, but they also need to adapt to the team's tactical system and culture. If they fail to meet the demands of the team or their form declines, they may be at risk of being cut.
Author's point of view
The author believes that this kind of cruel competition is also the charm of the CBA league. Although there are a lot of bastard players in China, but foreign aid really relies on their own ability to stay, once they are old, their athletic ability deteriorates and they do not adapt to the team, it is a matter of layoffs, and there is no training at all, so it is not easy for foreign aid, what do you think?
