On January 5th, the CBA regular season is in full swing. The situation of Liaoning team is highly concerned by everyone. The team has been somewhat unstable recently, with their ranking once dropping. Fortunately, they have managed to secure victories in subsequent matches and have now returned to the top four in the standings. In addition, Liaoning team has not stopped their recruitment efforts, with the addition of big foreign aid Patton. Due to registration issues, Patton did not participate in any games after joining the team, but he has now finally completed his registration. With Patton's arrival, Liaoning team's 12-man roster is about to be adjusted.
The backcourt of Liaoning team is now well-staffed, with Zhao Jiwei returning from injury and foreign aids Wells and Fergie also on board. Yan Shouqi made a comeback from illness in the last game, scoring 20 points against Jilin. Wang Lanqin is also gradually improving, so Liaoning team does not need to worry about their backcourt anymore.
The small forward position is currently a weak point for Liaoning team, mainly due to Zhang Zhenlin's injury absence. Yang Ming is currently using Zhao Lishou and Yu Zechen. However, these two players have not been consistent in their performances, forcing Yang Ming to sometimes play three guards. This strategy works against average teams, but when facing teams with strong frontlines, such as Beijing team, it becomes problematic. Fortunately, Liaoning team has signed Weber, who will bring improvements upon his arrival.
The frontline now has reinforcements thanks to Patton's addition. The lineup is clear, consisting of Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu, Fu Hao, Patton, and Zhang Chenzhi Feng.
In summary, it is not difficult to speculate on Liaoning team's upcoming 12-man roster for their next games. The backcourt includes Zhao Jiwei, Wells, Fergie, Wang Lanqin, and Yan Shouqi. At the No. 3 position, there are Zhao Lishou and Yu Zechen. The frontline consists of Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu, Fu Hao, Patton, and Zhang Chenzhi Feng. Among them, Li Huyi, Zhang Junhao, Zhao Lishou, and Yu Zechen are likely to be rotated, with Yang Ming choosing based on the opponent's situation. Looking at the lineup, Liaoning team is close to being complete, giving Yang Ming more confidence to maintain their top four ranking.
