The Liaoning team has finally completed the signing of the last foreign aid, and Cooper signed it, and theoretically he can participate in the last game of the regular season against the Guangsha team, depending on how the Liaoning team's coaching staff arranges. Regarding Cooper's technical characteristics, and the changes that can be brought to the team after coming, I believe you have seen a lot, and I will not give you too much detail here, what I want to discuss today is that after Cooper's arrival, if he adapts to it quite well, the impact on the future playoff list of the Liaoning team.
Now it seems that Cooper can enter the list of Liaoning men's basketball playoffs, which is probably a high probability event, because even if Cooper really adapts badly, it is impossible for the Liaoning team to adjust and replace foreign aids, which is the last foreign aid signed by the Liaoning team this season. In the 2021 playoffs, the Liaoning team also used Taylor, and he was always in the playoff list at that time, although he was not able to use it in the end, so I think the possibility of Cooper entering the playoff squad is very high, coupled with the return of Guo Allen, in fact, the personnel of the Liaoning team's guard line have been completely formed.
Guo Allen, Cooper will be on the future airborne list, plus Zhao Jiwei in the existing list, Yan Shouqi and Fogg, who have performed well, will be the standing players of the Liaoning men's basketball team in the guard line and in the playoffs. After Yang Ming took over the Liaoning team, you can take a look at the list of the Liaoning team's playoffs, and the 5 players who can only play guard are his full top match, sometimes even only 4, because sometimes Cong Mingchen can play the second position, especially this season. All of Cong's starting games in the league have been played in the No. 2 position, so there is no possibility of adding players on the back line, unless there is an injury, or Cooper will not use it in the playoffs.
This also means that new recruit Zhao Shuozhou, as well as two local stars of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Zhang Junhao and Li Huyi, are unlikely to enter the playoff squad. Of course, this is theoretical, and we mean the absence of injuries. If there are injuries, the order of these three people is still relatively high, and it is even more impossible if they are like Zhou Juncheng.
Zhao Shuozhou also carried the expectations of many Liaoning men's basketball fans at the beginning, but in fact, it was basically abandoned in the third stage. In the third stage, Zhao Shuozhou's appearance rate is only 50%, and he only averages 11 points per game, and the average playing time is only a few minutes per game.
Other positions are basically set, like the inner line Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, the two elders must have positions, the other is Fu Hao and Moreland, and the third position is Zhang Zhenlin and Cong Mingchen, because Cong Mingchen can still play the second position, so he must also be selected. Now there are actually 11 people on the list, and there is still 1 place left, which is estimated to be produced between Liu Yanyu and Yu Zechen. Of course, the roster changes every game, depending on the situation, such as the need for people on the inside. It is possible to put Liu Yanyu in the list, if the front line needs people, Zhang Zhenlin will go to the inside line, then Yu Zechen may enter the list. But no matter how you adjust it, in my opinion, Zhao Shuozhou, Li Huyi and Zhang Junhao will not be able to enter the playoff squad under normal circumstances.
