The opening of the playoffs is not only a stage for the players to fight, but also the beginning of the busy management of each team. At this stage, only 12 teams continue to fight on the field, while the rest have already started preparations for next season. With the playoffs deepening, four teams will be eliminated, and the Guangdong men's basketball team may find their potential trade target from these four teams - Qingdao men's basketball team.
One of the chips of the Guangdong men's basketball team lies in their enhanced demand for the interior. Especially in the offseason, the uncertainty of Zhou's contract renewal has highlighted this even more. Guangdong showed a keen interest in Liu Chuanxing in Qingdao. In fact, Zhu Fangyu of Guangdong even went to Japan to meet with Liu Chuanxing in person, intending to obtain his right to sign the contract, and the realization of all this pointed to the need to obtain Liu Chuanxing from Qingdao through a transaction.
While the Qingdao team is focusing on cultivating Yang Hansen, Liu Chuanxing's signing rights have obviously become a tradable asset. Despite the impressive performance in Japan for Liu Chuanxing, Zhu Fangyu is already actively preparing, including the possibility of securing Liu Chuanxing's signing rights through a player exchange and cash. Once successful, Guangdong will also have a much smoother contract renewal negotiation for Zhou Qi.
Speaking of Zhou Qi, after his comeback, he showed excellent physical condition and an average of 20+10 data per game, but the instability of free throws has become an unresolved problem, which has also triggered the so-called "Didi on behalf of penalty" farce. Zhu Fangyu even accepted the challenge of fans in the live broadcast, asking Zhou Qi to give up the three-day vacation and complete the challenge of 500 free throws a day, and made the "heavy penalty" against Zhou Qi public through social media.
As for Marchand, after leaving China, his movements have become the focus of attention of many fans. Although he expressed a firm desire to return when he left, recent developments show that his reunion with foreign player Blakeney in the American nightclub seems to indicate that he has not invested much in training, making his return to the CBA a far away.
All of this not only shows the complexity and unpredictability of the basketball world, but also reflects the strategy and human entanglement behind professional sports. And in this playoffs full of uncertainties, every trade, every game, every decision can change the fate of a team.
