The Liaoning men's basketball team announced on the last day of the Qingming holiday that Cooper, a big foreign player, officially joined the team and will wear the No. 0 jersey to compete in future games. Cooper, born in 2001, is 185 cm tall and plays as a guard, who was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2021 NBA Draft. He had previously performed well in the Development League, averaging 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game, and was rated as a "good performer" by the Liaoning team.
Last season, the Liaoning men's basketball team introduced foreign aid Adams, but his performance was not satisfactory and became a case of the team's foreign aid selection mistakes. This made fans pay special attention to the choice of foreign aid for the Liaoning team this season. Cooper's arrival has given fans new hope. Everyone expects him to quickly adapt to the rhythm of the CBA game and become an important force for the Liaoning team in the playoffs.
Liaoning faced Guangsha in the final game of the regular season, and although this game did not have much impact on Liaoning, they still gave their all to prepare for the upcoming playoffs. For Cooper, this game will also be his debut in the CBA, and he will have the opportunity to show his strength and potential, while also finding the right place and role for himself on the team. Fans are looking forward to seeing how Cooper performs in this game, while also being full of anticipation and confidence for Liaoning's performance in the playoffs.
Cooper also said that he is ready to play, and coach Yang Ming may test Cooper in the game against the Guangsha team, hoping that he will not become another Adams. While Cooper has just made a long trip and may need some time to recover, his performance will be one of the key factors in determining whether Liaoning will be able to compete for a third consecutive title.
Another exciting news is that Liaoning star Guo Allen is about to return to the court. Even if Cooper doesn't perform well, Allen Guo's return will bring tactical support to the team. Liaoning need a player who can solve problems at key moments, and Guo Allen may be just what they need. As for the young player Zhang Zhenlin, he still needs more effort and experience.
Cooper's arrival and the return of Guo Allen have undoubtedly brought new hope to the Liaoning team, but it remains to be seen whether Cooper will be able to live up to the team's expectations. Fans are full of expectations for the performance of the new signings, but they are also worried about whether the Liaoning team is too hasty in selecting foreign players. As for Cooper's future, fans are waiting and expecting him to bring a positive impact to the Liaoning team.
