The highly anticipated second stage of the CBA regular season's 26th round has seen intense competition, with recent news about traditional powerhouse Guangdong men's basketball team defeating dark horse Shandong team at home with a score of 98-93 drawing attention from fans. In this battle, Guangdong's foreign aid, Morland and Jilunwater, once again demonstrated their strong dominance. However, the core that truly helped Guangdong defeat Shandong was still the main guard Xu Jie. Despite being restricted by top defensive players like Yu Dehao and Gao Shiyan in the entire league, Xu Jie still efficiently scored 22+11+4 points. In the future, Guangdong must quickly introduce a qualified small foreign aid to provide sufficient assistance to Xu Jie.
With the NBA league ushering in a new round of layoffs, Guangdong also decided to cut the new foreign aid Les during this period due to insufficient strength. Obviously, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng will inevitably introduce a qualified offensive foreign aid during the NBA layoff wave. Since it has been reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA have cut the forward-guard core Daisen Nicks, the latter has also been regarded as one of the most ideal reinforcement targets for Guangdong. Daisen Nicks has a standard forward core playing style, but his personal ability can only serve as the core of a tanking team. Previously, Nicks had particularly eye-catching performances during his time with the Rockets, even scoring 45 points with 29 shots in a highlight performance. However, Nicks is now finding it difficult to continue in the NBA.
After Nicks was cut by the Timberwolves, this big fish on the front line may be sought after by many CBA teams. It should be noted that Nicks is a scoring machine with the ball in his hands, coupled with the standard height and wingspan of the No. 3 position, making him the dream reinforcement target for Guangdong. Similar to Goodwin, the strongest foreign aid in the CBA Shanxi team, Nicks possesses super scoring explosiveness, capable of scoring high points in a short time and defeating any team on his own. Nicks has better hardware configuration than Goodwin, and many fans even regard him as an enhanced version of Goodwin. Therefore, Guangdong can consider introducing this top foreign aid who can display strong explosive power on the offensive end in the future.
Nowadays, the CBA league has entered a critical moment of foreign aid competition, and Guangdong's disadvantage of lacking small foreign aid is gradually losing its playoff position. If Du Feng wants to continue to maintain the top four positions in the playoffs or even challenge the finals, then introducing Nicks may be a very good choice. After all, Guangdong once won three consecutive championships with the peak period of Masang and Weims. The current Guangdong team still retains a strong small, fast, and flexible tactical system, just lacking a qualified foreign aid to carry the flag. With the return of star player Hu Mingxuan in the third stage, Guangdong has a great chance to re-enter the top eight in the standings with the advantage of foreign aid. If Zhu Fangyu can recruit a top foreign aid like Nicks, it will surely solve all the current problems.
In summary, Nicks is basically an enhanced version of Goodwin, a top foreign aid capable of wreaking havoc in the CBA league. If Guangdong wants to further enhance the team's strength in the foreign aid aspect, then Nicks, who has been cut by the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA, is definitely a very good choice for a front-line foreign aid.
