On January 4th, Beijing time, several explosive news broke out in the CBA! Guangdong Hongyuan officially announced the termination of cooperation with small foreign aid Les. The official announcement stated that the team will continue to look for high-quality foreign aid, and there are also media reports that Zhu Fangyu is listening to foreign aid offers from various agents. On the Liaoning men's basketball side, after signing the big foreign aid Patton, there are new moves. According to European basketball reporter Chema de Lucas, former NBA player James Webb III is expected to join the Liaoning men's basketball team of the CBA. Webb is 31 years old, 2.06 meters tall, and plays as a forward. He briefly played for the NBA Nets during the 17-18 season. It is worth noting that Webb participated in the Americas Cup qualifiers with Fogg in 20 years. He will be the seventh foreign aid signed by Liaoning this season! There are also reports that Zhao Jiwei has arrived in Jilin with the team and is expected to return early.
Guangdong's early termination of cooperation with Les did not come as a surprise to fans. After all, the team initially positioned Les as a temporary worker, and no one expected him to bring much help to Guangdong. Indeed, since joining Guangdong, Les has scored zero points, and the promise to reduce Xu Jie's burden eventually became a bubble. The reason why Zhu Fangyu quickly cut Les was because Les' skills were too poor, unable to alleviate Xu Jie's pressure, and still occupying the salary cap. However, Guangdong's operation this time shows amateurism everywhere. They first used trial training as an excuse, dragged on for a full week before signing with Les, then completely did not give him playing time, making him a mascot, and hurriedly cut Les in less than 20 days. This signing of Les seems to be just to appease fans and sponsors.
Liaoning's investment this season is not small, at least in terms of foreign aid, they have already signed six. With the addition of the new foreign aid Webb, it has become seven, equaling Shanxi men's basketball. In addition to being the efficiency king of the Turkish Super League, Webb is more familiar to Liaoning fans as Fogg's teammate on the American team. Webb once represented the American team with Fogg in the Americas Cup and performed quite well. There are even reports that Webb was recommended by Fogg, after all, Fogg has played with him and is very familiar with Webb's style and skills. As a 2.06-meter forward, Webb has good ball-handling ability and his shooting is above average, making him a high-quality wing player who can attack and defend. After his joining, Liaoning's four foreign aids have been finalized.
In addition to the new foreign aid about to join, Liaoning also has good news. It is understood that Zhao Jiwei has arrived in Jilin with the team and is expected to participate in the game between Liaoning and Jilin. Zhao Jiwei's other injuries have basically healed, although his vocal cords are still damaged, but playing games is actually not a big problem. After Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin missed games due to injuries, Liaoning's record was not good. This season, Liaoning is still aiming for the championship, and regular season results are also very important, so it is not ruled out that Zhao Jiwei will return early despite his injuries.
