Famous handsome out of the mountains, the national hand to vote, not bad money for a long time to open the gold dollar mode, this "Shanghai Counterattack Story" is ready to be staged?
Three double kings, national brand inside line, champion coach... These well-known names this summer are directly related to the Shanghai men's basketball team. After successive operations of Li Chunjiang, Wang Zhelin and Ren Junwei joined the team, Franklin, a powerful foreign aid known as the "King of Three Doubles", also joined Shanghai. For a time, there were voices about the Shanghai men's basketball team's new season wanting to impact the throne of the Guangdong team. Is the Shanghai men's basketball team, which has been dormant since the 2001-02 season, ready to stage a counterattack?
Hao threw heavy gold, and famous marshals, national hands, and three double kings came to vote
Counting the series of operations of the Shanghai team this summer, it is no wonder that the outside world will classify them as champions contenders. In addition to hiring champion coach Li Chunjiang to "go out of the mountain", the Shanghai men's basketball team can be described as a heavy investment in the introduction of players.
In the offseason, the team exchanged the national brand interior Line Wang Zhelin for the sending of District Junxuan + No. 6 draft picks + part of the cash, and there was anecdotal news that the so-called "part of the cash" paid by the Shanghai team was as high as 80 million yuan, plus the king's 6 million yuan maximum salary contract, and the shanghai team spent at least 86 million yuan on this reinforcement alone.
In addition to Wang Zhelin, the addition of Ren Junwei also gave Shanghai fans a dose of tonic. As the core of the Shanxi men's basketball team last season, Ren Junwei averaged 13.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game. What kind of chemical reaction he can have with Wang Zhelin in the new season is worth looking forward to.
The contract between "Triple Double King" Franklin and Shanghai team amounted to millions of dollars, which showed the hard power of the big ball market at the same time, but also had to make people feel that Shanghai Jiushi invested money in the club.

Falling from the championship podium, the Shanghai men's basketball team has no king's momentum
Like football, basketball also has a pivotal position in Shanghai, which can be described as a "sports business card" in Shanghai. As Yao Ming's parent team, the Shanghai men's basketball team once won the CBA, and while winning the championship in the 2001-02 season, it also broke the Bayi team's monopoly on the CBA championship for 7 years.
Prior to that, Shanghai was the CBA runner-up for two consecutive years in the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 seasons. However, after the glory of the beginning of the millennium, the Shanghai men's basketball team began a long period of silence. Between 2004 and 2008, the team hovered between 8 and 12. In the 2008–09 season they were 17th in the league. Since the long-term incident, the team's record has not improved significantly, and the shanghai team has ranked 16th and 14th in the regular season in the last two seasons.
This former champion division has long since lost the power of the king.
Margis Era: Don't choose expensive, only Chinese Taipei
Margis Tires from Treasure Island entered the Chinese mainland in 1997. At the end of 2009, Margis Tire named the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team as "Shanghai Margis Tire Men's Basketball Team", and it is precisely because of the background of Taiwan companies that after this, Chinese Taipei players have successively put on the jersey of the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team.
Yan Xingshu, Zeng Wending, Zhang Zongxian, Yang Jingmin, Li Xuelin and others all played for the Shanghai team during the sponsorship period of Maggis. Among them, Yan Xingshu put on the Shanghai team's battle robe in the first year of Magis's sponsorship. Zeng Wending has been an important member of the bench since joining the Shanghai men's basketball team in the 2011-12 season. A season later, another Taiwanese player, Zhang Zongxian, officially joined. Yang Jingmin, who bore the aura of SBL scoring champion and finals MVP, signed with Shanghai in the 2014-15 season. In 2015, Li Xuelin became another treasure island player to wear the Shanghai team's jersey.
Zeng Wending
The Shanghai men's basketball team in the Margis period did not spend a lot of money on reinforcements, and "not expensive, only Chinese Taipei" became the primary strategy of the team to attract reinforcements. In terms of records, in addition to the 4th place in the regular season in the 2009-10 season, it is still difficult to change the fate of the lower part of the ranking in the following seasons.
Long-term era: Turn on the Gold Dollar Armament Mode Treasure Island players decreased
Since the beginning of the 2016-17 season, the Shanghai men's basketball team has signed a new title sponsor, Bilibili, changing the team name to "Shanghai Bilibili Basketball Team". Since then, the Number of Chinese Taipei players in the Shanghai men's basketball team has begun to decrease. "Old Minister" Zeng Wending left the team after the 2017-18 season. The only other treasure island players are Wu Yongsheng in the 2019-20 season and Liu Zheng in the 2020-21 season.
In 2019, Shanghai Jiushi's 100% equity acquisition of Shanghai men's basketball team brought about an intuitive change, which is to open the Gold Dollar armament model - in the offseason after the end of the 2019-20 season, the Shanghai men's basketball team announced 8 new signings to join the team in one go, in addition to 6 local players such as Kolan Baike, Liu Zheng, Zong Zan, He Zhongda, Gao Shang, Wang Xu, etc., foreign aid identified Deng Meng and Fredette.
Now, before the start of the 2021-22 season, in addition to Wang Zhelin, Ren Junwei, Yuan Tangwen and other strong players, there is also the "triple double king" Franklin's full help.
In the new season, can the Shanghai men's basketball team direct a counterattack?
Although the long-term entry into the Shanghai men's basketball team has brought huge personnel changes to the team, the team's record has not improved significantly. In the 2019-20 season, the team finished only 16th in the regular season. Last season, he finished 14th in the league with a performance of 22 wins and 30 losses.
This summer offseason, in addition to the frequent actions in the introduction of players, the Shanghai men's basketball team also threw an olive branch to the championship coach Li Chunjiang. At the beginning of Li Chunjiang's management of the Shanghai men's basketball team, the outside world thought that he would greatly enhance the team's attractiveness to big-name players, and the subsequent reinforcements also confirmed this.
Even Pang Qimeng, the CBA's first full-time video analyst, officially joined the Shanghai men's basketball team in mid-September. Pang Qimeng can be described as Li Chunjiang's old partner, in 2007 he was invited by Li Chunjiang to join the Guangdong men's basketball team, from 2007 to 2021, Pang Qimeng in the Guangdong team for 14 years to assist Li Chunjiang, Yunas, Du Feng three head coaches, during which 7 times won the CBA championship, becoming the team's behind-the-scenes heroes.
In the new season, Li Chunjiang, who is good at defense, will build the defensive system of the Shanghai men's basketball team with the help of the coaching team and bring a tough temperament to the team. In the 2021-22 season, whether the Shanghai men's basketball team, under the leadership of Li Chunjiang, can direct a counterattack and get rid of the weak brigade image in recent seasons remains to be tested by time.
