The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, with a fierce battle between the championship favorites Guangdong men's basketball team and the rising Shandong men's basketball team. After four quarters of intense competition, Xu Jie, Ren Junfei, Morand, and others helped Guangdong defeat Shandong 98-93 at home. It is noteworthy that Guangdong has been reported to have cut its new foreign aid, Les, before the game. With Beizi's current poor competitive form, Guangdong urgently needs new foreign aid to support Morand and Jilunwate. The NBA league's layoff wave has arrived, which can also be considered as the last reinforcement opportunity for Guangdong this season.
Recently, it was reported that the Western Conference powerhouse Minnesota Timberwolves had cut off the forward guard Daisen Nicks, who may no longer be able to stand in the NBA league. Although Daisen Nicks was once favored by many fans for his excellent scoring ability and versatility on the front line in the past four seasons, his core playing style that requires a large number of players is not enough to support the offensive and defensive system of the NBA league team. Unless it is some teams that are tanking, no NBA league team can give Nicks an absolute core driving position. However, it cannot be denied that Nicks' ball-dominant core is absolutely suitable for the requirements of overseas league teams, including the CBA league. In this regard, many fans called on the Guangdong team, which is plagued by foreign aid issues in the CBA league, to consider introducing Nicks.
Previously, Nicks once scored 45 points with 29 shots during his time with the Rockets, making him a veritable scoring machine. Nicks' scoring burst is very similar to Goodwin, the top foreign aid in the current CBA league, but the former has a standard No. 3 position height and wingspan close to 2 meters, as well as stronger strength and confrontation. Therefore, once Nicks is favored by the CBA league team, he may be able to play out the dominance of an enhanced version of Goodwin. It is reported that Guangdong has already chosen to cut the new foreign aid Les, which means that Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng can completely introduce another qualified fourth foreign aid within the sufficient foreign aid salary space. At this time, Nicks is undoubtedly a very good choice for Guangdong, and once he joins, he will definitely be able to exert the chemistry that Masang and Weems had with Guangdong in the past.
Of course, the current CBA league has gradually become a stage for foreign aid competition. With Qingdao defeating the powerful Shanxi team with the help of Mickey and Josephon, all the championship-contending teams in the current CBA league have equipped themselves with top small foreign aids. Therefore, Guangdong must quickly introduce strong players like Nicks, who can score stably in key moments, to have a chance to return to the ranks of championship-contending teams in the remaining games of the season. Now, after experiencing failed personnel adjustments such as Barton, Arms, and Les, the time and space for Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu to make mistakes are limited. If Guangdong wants to maintain its playoff position and compete for the championship, then Nicks may be the most suitable reinforcement target for Guangdong.
It must be said that Nicks' playing style is even stronger than Goodwin, the top foreign aid of the Shanxi team, and is the dream reinforcement target for Guangdong. If Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng can seize the opportunity to pick up Nicks, Guangdong will surely be able to challenge the CBA Finals again this season.
