Offseason 3 News! Liao Basket Ace renewed his contract unexpectedly! Zhou Qi made a new decision, and Zhu Fangyu couldn't sit still
On June 2, Beijing time, the CBA offseason officially opened the first wave of transactions, and more than 100 players have expired contracts this offseason, so many teams are strengthening the Liaoning men's basketball team's championship-winning lineup, and everyone will also focus on the Liaoning men's basketball team to see how the three-consecutive championship dynasty team forms the lineup.
The first news is that the CBA will use a six-person foreign aid system in the fourth quarter of the new season, which means that all 20 participating teams will bring in 3 to 5 foreign players, and local players are also facing employment pressure, and some marginal people are likely to be eliminated.
The second news, media sources pointed out that the Liaoning men's basketball team has signed a number of foreign players in the offseason, of which the fourth foreign aid Achuer confirmed that he will play for the Liaoning men's basketball team in the new season. In addition, the Liaoning men's basketball team has not stopped signing the pace, and the team was revealed to have signed two more foreign aides who have played in the CBA, which means that Liaoning will currently have 6 foreign aids, of course, the last two foreign aides are not to prepare for the new season, but to let them play in the AFC Champions League, so the Liaoning men's basketball team is considering whether to renew Moreland.
In this season, Moreland's overall performance is not as bright as the previous two championship seasons, and in the playoffs, Moreland's temper is getting bigger and bigger, most of his performance is on the defensive end, Moreland's role is to guard the inside, he can limit the play of Zhou Qi and others. However, the Liaoning men's basketball team signed Achuer in the offseason because it had the idea of letting him replace Moreland's position, otherwise, the salary cap of the Liaoning men's basketball team was not enough to renew the contract of three championship-winning foreign players.
And the Liaoning men's basketball team is currently exposed to have the idea of not renewing Moreland's contract, media sources pointed out that Moreland accepted the latest interview with the media in the United States, he talked about the renewal of the contract with the Liaoning men's basketball team, his original text is as follows: To tell the truth, no one has come to me to talk about the renewal of the contract now, I don't know what the situation is, I don't know, but I still want to continue to play in the Liaoning men's basketball team, as long as the Liaoning men's basketball team still needs me, as long as they make a call, I will come back immediately without hesitation, so now I am still full of expectations.
Moreland also believes that the Liaoning men's basketball team will call sooner or later, because he likes to play in Liaoning very much, and this offseason Moreland also said that he will face up to his own shortcomings, and then work hard to improve himself and make himself more powerful. Moreland also talked about the signing of the Liaoning men's basketball team to Achuer, he congratulated Achuer, and he also believed that Achuer joining the Liaoning basketball team was the right thing, and he would be very happy to play in this team.
Personally, I think that Moreland still needs to be signed, because his defensive ability is among the top in the league, especially if he can limit Zhou Qi's play, and his fierce defense will also make opponents suffer a lot. So now the key to the problem is that the Liaoning men's basketball team has to make a trade-off in the offseason, whether to keep Moreland or keep the small foreign aid Cooper.
First of all, the Liaoning men's basketball team has spent two million dollars to renew Fergus's contract and signed Acher, and now the foreign aid salary cap can only support the Liaoning basketball team to keep Cooper or Moreland. Therefore, Liao Basket needs to persuade the two foreign players to cut their salaries and stay in the team. Moreland, in particular, will have to cut his salary by at least half.
The third news is that many fans are paying attention to Zhou Qi's whereabouts in the offseason. At present, Zhou Qi himself has returned to his hometown, and he has also made a new decision not to return to the Guangdong men's basketball team for the time being, choosing to stay at home as a dad, Zhou Qi posted a photo of himself with a baby, and it can be seen that Zhou Qi's back injury has healed, and he is smiling happily. He also found time to conclude the first round of negotiations with Liaobasket's recruiting team. So in this summer, Zhou Qi will spend more time recovering from his back injury, and at the same time focus some energy on his family, followed by where will he play next season?
However, the current decision also made Zhu Fangyu, the general manager of the operation of the Guangdong men's basketball team, a little unable to sit still, because the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the Guangdong men's basketball team, and many teams have begun to make efforts in the introduction of foreign aid and local players. If the Guangdong men's basketball team blindly waits for Zhou Qi to decide to stay on his own, then some good foreign aid or local player resources in the free market may be snatched up. Therefore, the Guangdong men's basketball team needs to be prepared without Zhou Qi, if Zhou Zhou Qi changes his mind and decides to join the Liao basketball team, then it will be more difficult for the Guangdong men's basketball team to win the championship next season.
