Zhou Qi, Hu Mingxuan, and Ren Junfei are the three major national players, whose contracts expire at the same time this summer. Ren Junfei has received a top salary for 5 years, and in the twilight of his career, his treatment is much better than that of Yi Jianlian and Zhou Peng. This season, he played at an All-Star level, and beside Waters, Ren Junfei's ability to block, pass, and grab rebounds was fully displayed. He had the second spring of his career.
But Guangdong is likely to choose to abandon Waters next, as his defense is more at a loss. For Guangdong, they have two defenders, Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan, and it will be more cost-effective to choose a foreign aid of the swing man type of striker. Without Waters, Ren's performance could have had an impact.
He has no plans to retire for the time being, and this new Guangdong team also needs veterans like him to continue to press. Of course, it is obviously not appropriate to provide him with a maximum salary. He currently has the option to take a pay cut to stay with the team and continue to shine next season. He recuperated from his injury in the offseason and is still the core ace of the No. 4 position in the new season.
Ren Junfei's role in the cohesion of the entire lineup is irreplaceable by Du Runwang. The team needs him to keep going. Reducing the salary to stay in the team is the best choice. Hu Mingxuan and Zhou Qi have to consider staying with the maximum salary. The two are the cornerstone of the team, and with these two players, Guangdong is the top 4 level.
Zhu Fangyu has a very good relationship with Zhou Qi and Sui Ran, and it was previously rumored that Zhu Fangyu forbade Guangdong players from signing contracts with Sui Ran, which was completely made up by the outside world. After a year of getting along, Guangdong's attitude is enough to impress Zhou Qi. After Moreland hit Zhou Qi hard, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng spoke out 3 times in a row, and their actions moved Zhou Qi very much.
During the live broadcast, Zhu Fangyu admitted that she was confident in renewing Zhou Qi's contract. At present, Guangdong leads the battle for Zhou Qi. What others can provide, Guangdong can also provide. Playing in a team like Guangdong, Zhou Qi's exposure and support will also be higher. Zhu Ba never fights uncertain battles, since he said that he has confidence, that is, there is an 8% chance of leaving Zhou Qi.
As for Hu Mingxuan, he is a player cultivated by the Guangdong men's basketball team. Now he is the true leader of the team. Zhu Fangyu can use a multi-year contract to keep Hu Mingxuan. This season, the team has actually been fully on track in the second half of the season. In the playoffs, if they weren't too wavering, they would have had a chance to hit the championship.
Zhang Mingchi, Zhang Haojia, Li Yizhen, and Huang Mingyi have improved a lot this season, the young players have grown up, and the team's second team no longer suffers. Adjust the configuration of foreign aid next season and simplify the lineup, Guangdong will still be the favorite to win the championship. These 3 core players must be retained!
