With Hu Jinqiu's injury and retirement, this season's Guangsha will basically step in the top 8, and this team with the strength to compete for the championship will bid farewell to this season again in advance, which is also the worst result of Guangsha in recent years!
While feeling sorry for Hu Jinqiu, the Guangsha team's coaching team in the use of main players, the choice of rotation lineup, and the choice of foreign reinforcements have puzzled fans.
From the perspective of fans, a competitive team, in addition to the main players, substitute players are also very important, because only a reasonable rotation lineup can effectively avoid and prevent injuries to the main players. However, as a team manager, it is not easy to run a CBA team well, and in the final analysis, funds are still needed to solve the problem.
However, there are some teams in the CBA whose goals are not so ambitious, but they have their own way of running the team, such as the familiar Guangzhou Dragon and Lions.
The progress of the Lions in recent years is obvious to all, since the start of the 2020 season, the team has reached the playoffs in four consecutive seasons, and now it has reached the top eight in two consecutive seasons.
Among them, in addition to Guo Shiqiang's coaching ability, the team also has its own mature system in the selection and training of young talents, and they can always focus on which talented young players are cultivated, cultivated after signing, and finally traded to other teams. According to media statistics, in the past three years, a total of 17 players in Guangzhou have been traded away, and there are some blockbuster transactions:
1. Transaction Fan Ziming to Beijing Shougang:
In 2020, the Guangzhou team traded Fan Ziming to Beijing Shougang for 30 million. Fan Ziming, who was 22 years old at the time and was 210 tall, averaged 9.9 points per game in Xinjiang, and once scored a maximum of 33 points in a single game. As one of the best insiders of the younger generation, Guangzhou did not choose to keep it as the core of the insider, but traded it to Shougang.
2. Trade Lief to Beijing Shougang
In the 2022 season, the Guangzhou team once again traded the foreign aid Lief, who had been with the company for one year, to Shougang. In the 21st season, Leaf played in 18 games for Guangzhou, averaging 24.6 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. In a game against North Control, Leaf scored 47 points and 17 rebounds, and scored more than 20+ points in seven consecutive games. Although the specific amount of this transaction has been kept secret, it is believed that the transfer fee that Guangzhou received from the Shougang men's basketball team is not a small amount.
3. Trade Li Yanzhe to the Xinjiang men's basketball team
The 2024 season, which is also the most important transaction in the league this season, in the second phase of the regular season window, the Guangzhou team traded the main center Li Yanzhe to the Xinjiang men's basketball team. The Guangzhou men's basketball team is hovering at the door of the playoffs at this time, and many teams believe that trading Li Yanzhe at this time will make Guangzhou's previous achievements this season wasted. Li Yanzhe himself belongs to the players trained by the Guangzhou Youth Academy, and has a deep relationship with Guo Shiqiang's guidance, and this transaction also annoyed the uncle. Although the deal is also confidential, the media has speculated that the amount of this transaction is as high as hundreds of millions.
However, the Guangzhou team has also invested heavily in the introduction of talents, such as Liu Yancheng, Liu Jinyu, Li Jiazhe, Cui Yongxi, and Jiao Boqiao...... are all young talents that the team has focused on cultivating in recent years, among which Jiao Boqiao and Cui Yongxi have already played, referring to the transaction of Fan Ziming and Li Yanzhe, maybe Guangzhou Longshi has made plans for the next step!
