On August 2, the CBA is currently in the offseason. The situation of the Liaoning team is very concerned by the outside world, the team's previous playoff performance was strong, the semi-finals reversed the Guangdong team, and the finals swept Xinjiang 4-0 to win the championship. After returning to Shenyang, the Liaoning team was welcomed by all parties, and the players participated in many activities. Although the Liaoning team successfully defended the title, they did not stop the pace of reinforcement, and not long ago there was new news, the team signed another foreign aid.
The specific situation is that European basketball legend Emiliano Carchia reported that former Shandong men's basketball foreign aid Shayok and Liaoning men's basketball team reached a contract.
Many fans are not familiar with Shayok, so let's give a brief introduction. Shayok is a 95-year-old player, 198 cm tall, 91 kg in weight, and a swingman who plays as a striker and defender. Shayok showed talent in the NCAA, averaging 18.7 points + 4.9 rebounds + 2.0 assists per game in his senior season, and his performance was very comprehensive. Later, Shayok participated in the NBA draft and was selected by the 76ers with the 54th pick in the second round, but his development did not go well, and he mostly played in the development league.
Shayok came to the CBA last season to play for Shandong and averaged 19.1 points in 22 minutes per game. Shayok has a good shooting ability, can also break through, and can play without the ball, which can be said to be very suitable for the system of the Liaoning team. The purpose of Liaoning's signing of Shayok is obvious, first, to share the pressure on Fogg, and second, to supplement the firepower of the forward line.
We have seen the Liaoning team continue to move in the offseason, after they have signed a new foreign player Achuer, and now they have signed Shayok, which can be described as a reloaded and upgraded squad. Fogg will definitely renew his contract, so the Liaoning team now has three foreign aids, and they are all very capable.
Liaoning successfully defended their title last season, but their own squad is also problematic. Defender Guo Allen has been injured and is still doing recovery training. The small forward position is Zhang Zhenlin alone, and it is normal to play more than 40 minutes in the playoffs. Insiders Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu are gradually aging, and their careers are coming to an end. That's when it comes to improving the roster in the offseason, and the team's goal is of course to win four consecutive championships. At the same time, there is also a lot of external competitive pressure, and the championship team will definitely be strengthened. Not much to say, looking forward to the performance of the Liaoning team in the new season.
