Sony Weems is the champion foreign aid of the Guangdong men's basketball team for the past three seasons, each of which followed Guangdong to the end and won the finals MVP in the 19-20 season. So far this season, Weems has not returned to Guangdong, because of the epidemic prevention policy, Weems has not returned after renewing his contract with Guangdong. However, on November 4, Weems personally announced that he was about to return to Guangdong, so that fans can rest assured that once Weems returns to the team, the overall strength of the Guangdong team can be steadily improved.
Guangdong men's basketball team in the first 8 games of the season or there are many problems, the all-Chinese class mode played, against the Zhejiang team twice, high-intensity consumption made the use of personnel in Du Feng's hands become difficult, Xu Jie in the game against Zhejiang and Fujian continuously hit the leg, although it is a hard injury but need to rest, Hu Mingxuan has appeared in the mouth was broken blood spilled on the field. Coupled with the fact that the eldest brother Yi Jianlian has always needed to be protected and restricted from playing, the current personnel arrangement in Guangdong is in short supply, and the main players have many hidden dangers of injury.
The frequent appearance of injuries and Yi Jianlian's physical condition problems led Du Feng to set expectations for the team early, and soon after the beginning of the season, he said that the goal of Guangdong's competition for this season was the playoffs, which had a slight smoke bomb meaning, but it could also be seen that Du Feng was helpless. Injuries are also part of the game and any team needs to overcome them.
For this reason, Weems' timely return is necessary, at least to allow Du Feng to be more comfortable in the second stage of the platoon deployment. In the 9th round of the regular season on November 4, Yi Jianlian continued to take a break, which is the sixth rotation of the UAE League so far in 9 games this season, it is clear that the UAE League's body has not yet recovered to 100%, and Du Feng can only protect his physical health as much as possible.
Weems is the most suitable for today's Guangdong, and the perfect integration of the team system, the return can immediately contribute, last season Weems was limited by the rules of foreign aid use, the regular season averaged only 21.6 minutes per game, but also scored 16.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals. In the finals, Weems once again played a super foreign performance, in the absence of Ma Shang's injury, averaging 26.3 points, 10 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2 steals per game, a total of 18 of 26 free throws in three games, and the ability to create injuries is still the top CBA.
The new season CBA League foreign aid use limit has not changed, or four quarters of four people, because Ma Shang is still recuperating at least until the end of January 2022 will not return, which means that after Weems returns to the team, it is a single foreign aid to play, will be able to play a full four quarters of the game, no time limit, can enjoy the full power output. According to Zhu Fangyu's previous disclosure, Guangdong and Weems successfully renewed their contracts and are expected to play in the second stage of the regular season.
