Eleven years ago, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the timetable for the first phase of the CBA, as well as foreign aid policies. This has greatly accelerated the process of reinforcements for each team, and the rapid signing of foreign players who can play will have "air supremacy" in the first stage of the start of the tournament on October 16.
More teams are watching the first phase of the game in a wait-and-see situation, stepping up contact with foreign aid.
The most stable in terms of foreign aid should be Guangdong, they easily confirmed the contract between Marchand and Weems, but the two will not appear in the first stage.
The second is Shanghai, Shanghai not only introduced the domestic excellent coach Li Chunjiang and the CBA former MVP Wang Zhelin, in terms of foreign aid, pulled Franklin from Shanxi, Franklin is like the top CBA foreign aid like Fu Shen. The renewal of the Shanghai team from internal and external assistance to the manager has laid the foundation for the possibility of winning the championship.
Another club Shougang, which has repeatedly made big moves in reinforcements, but constantly plays farces, has also recently received more certain news.
The first is Hamilton's departure. Before the start of last season, the Shougang team signed Fan Ziming and Li Muhao in a high profile and formed a luxurious twin tower. But the performance of the two masters was not satisfactory, and in the end it was Hamilton who played an important role.
This year, Shougang terminated its contract with Hamilton, who has played for 4 seasons, and Shougang has the courage to do so, precisely because they have a better candidate, which is Salinger.
Salinger, who played in Shenzhen for two seasons, is an unquestionable strength player, although his height is not very prominent, but he is brave as a beast. He averaged 30 points and 16 rebounds per game in 2017-18. This data is already quite scary, if you can play at such a level in the new season, it should not be difficult for Shougang to enter the top 8.
Shougang and Jeremy Lin's Qingqing I have been doing for two years. Last season, because Jeremy Lin still dreamed of the NBA, he did not have much desire for a high-paying CBA. However, this year, Jeremy Lin has clearly known that he will never leave the NBA, so he rushed to China to find gold.
A new coronavirus has allowed Jeremy Lin to recuperate in Shanghai for nearly two months. Now Jeremy Lin is no longer struggling with Shougang on salary issues, and the two sides have found a reason to win together.
The new CBA schedule is much shorter than last season, most of the teams in the first stage of the game are all-Chinese classes, and only two sessions and two people can be used against the all-China class Shougang, and Salinger and Jeremy Lin will divide the playing time equally.
Even for teams with foreign aid, 4 sessions and 4 people, Jeremy Lin's physical fitness can carry for how long. After all, he is two years older than the last time he played in the CBA, and he has not played a few games a year, and Jeremy Lin has no bottom in his heart. He also no longer insists on a salary of 2 million to 3 million US dollars, after all, the money is not easy to earn, the CBA also has a salary limit order, and Shougang will not always be the wronged head of the money.
With the combination of Salinger and the domestic twin towers of the center, Shougang has some guarantees, at least much more reliable than last year.
But the introduction of Jeremy Lin has certain risks, and there are some old people in the guard line. Wang Xiaohui and Liu Xiaoyu themselves have mediocre strength, and they are all in the regression stage of their careers, Fang Shuo is also not as good as a year, and the hidden dangers of the future Shougang are in the backcourt.
Although Zhai Xiaochuan returned, he could not determine the state, and it was difficult to determine whether he could return to his previous state or reach the peak of his career after his comeback. Overall, Shougang still had a good hand at the beginning, the start was confusing, and finally there were surprises and dangers...
