Current CBA Players with Liaoning Basketball Background: The Ones You Still Miss, Forming a Team Capable of Top Eight Lineup!
I. Guo Ailun
Tenure with Liaoning: 10-11 season to 23-24 season, a total of 14 seasons.
Transferred to Guangzhou Long Lions in the 24-25 season
Season statistics: Played 7 games, averaging 24 minutes, 14.3 points + 2.7 rebounds + 4.3 assists per game
Guo Ailun has yet to fully recover from his injuries this season, playing only 7 games! However, Guo Ailun is crucial to the current Guangzhou Long Lions, as they won four out of the seven games he played! Guangzhou Long Lions have only won six games this season! Guo Ailun can provide stable ball control for Guangzhou Long Lions and become a key scorer in the fourth quarter when there is only one foreign player, which is very important for Guangzhou Long Lions who have suffered ten consecutive losses!
Guo Ailun's departure from Liaoning is a regret for many Liaoning fans, and the way he left indeed hurt many Liaoning fans! Everyone knows that professional sports are supported by capital, but we also need to understand that sports need to have a human touch! Perhaps if Liaoning and Ailun had parted ways in a different way, it would have been better for everyone!
II. Gao Shiyuan
Tenure with Liaoning: 15-16 season to 19-20 season, a total of 4 seasons.
Officially traded to Shandong High-Speed in the 20-21 season
Season statistics: Played 24 games, averaging 37 minutes, 11.8 points + 4.6 rebounds + 6.6 assists + 2.5 steals per game
Gao Shiyuan is the first domestic triple-double player in the current lineup! His total number of triple-doubles is tied for second with Yao Ming, the number one player in Chinese basketball history! He ranks second in the league in steals this season and is truly a defensive expert in the backcourt! Gao Shiyuan's playing time this season has reached an average of 37 minutes, and he has almost played the entire game in many matches. Currently, he is the main backcourt player for Shandong, and Shandong's resurgence this season was also crucially aided by Gao Shiyuan!
Gao Shiyuan is on a top salary contract of 6 million yuan this season! Liaoning's trade of Gao Shiyuan at the time could be considered a slightly regrettable act of benevolence! This season, Liaoning's backcourt faced a personnel crisis, and many basketball fans would especially miss our former top three Asian side face - Xiao Gao!
III. Yuan Shuai
Tenure with Liaoning: 12-13 season to 14-15 season, a total of 3 seasons.
Started renting Shanxi Men's Basketball in the 15-16 season, then officially transferred to join!
Season statistics: Played 22 games, averaging 30 minutes, 13.9 points + 1.4 rebounds + 1 assist per game
Yuan Shuai's data this season has been greatly affected by the "foreign aid policy" and changes in Shanxi's overall system, dropping from last season's domestic scoring champion with an average of 21 points to an average of 14 points! Yuan Shuai is famous for his three-point shooting, and his three-point shooting percentage remains at an ultra-high level among the top three in the league this season! And with 1,100 three-pointers made, he has entered the top ten of the all-time list! Yuan Shuai has achieved such success entirely through personal effort!
Yuan Shuai had no choice but to leave Liaoning at the time, as Liaoning's backcourt was already too crowded! Yang Ming, Lu Wei, Guo Ailun, Liu Zhixuan, Zhao Jiwei were all in the lineup! Yuan Shuai's technical characteristics were seriously biased, making it difficult for him to get more playing time, so moving to Shanxi was a helpless move!
IV. Wu Changze
Tenure with Liaoning: 20-21 season to 22-23 season, a total of 3 seasons.
Started renting Jilin Men's Basketball in the 23-24 season!
Season statistics: Played 21 games, averaging 6.7 points + 3.8 rebounds + 1.2 assists per game
Wu Changze is in the final year of his rental contract this season, and his performance over two seasons has been mediocre, gaining a lot of playing time under Jilin Men's Basketball system! In some games, he also provided great help for Jilin's victories, with multiple explosive double-digit performances last season!
Even if Wu Changze's rental contract expires, it will be difficult for him to return to Liaoning. Liaoning currently has players Fu Hao, Li Xiaoxu, Liu Yanyu at the No. 4 position, Zhao Lüzhou swinging between the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, and Huang Qiushi joining the team this season! Even if Wu Changze returns to Liaoning, it will be difficult for him to get enough playing time, so it would be better to choose Jilin or other teams with more room for survival!
V. Wang Huadong
Tenure with Liaoning: 19-20 season to 21-22 season, a total of 3 seasons.
Officially traded to Fujian Men's Basketball in the 22-23 season!
Season statistics: Played 12 games, averaging 11 minutes, 1.4 points + 1.1 rebounds + 0.5 assists per game
Wang Huadong's abilities have declined severely due to injury this season, and he has even fallen out of Fujian's regular rotation! It should be noted that in his first year with Liaoning, Wang Huadong had an extremely impressive performance in the finals against Guangdong, almost saving the day single-handedly!
Wang Huadong needs to quickly adjust his mentality. He is only 25 years old this season, and he should come out of the nightmare of injury as soon as possible to achieve a reversal!
VI. Eric Moreland
Tenure with Liaoning: 21-22 season to 23-24 season, a total of 3 seasons.
Ended the renewal at the end of the 24-25 season and signed with Guangdong Hongyuan
Season statistics: Played 17 games, averaging 30 minutes, 10.2 points + 11.6 rebounds + 4.6 assists + 1 steal + 2.2 blocks per game
Moreland joined Guangdong Hongyuan midway through this season and formed an interior twin tower with Jilunwater, salvaging Guangdong Hongyuan from the brink of decline! Moreland's personal ability has been fully unleashed under Guangdong Hongyuan's system, transforming into a passing god in multiple games, ranking 16th on the assist list as a center! And his defensive ability remains fierce, ranking second in the league in average blocks!
Liaoning's decision to give up Moreland from a strategic perspective was definitely a mistake! The subsequent unsuccessful recruitment further magnified this wrong choice, coupled with the team's injury wave, leaving Liaoning in its current passive situation!
VII. Dominique Jones
Tenure with Liaoning: 13-14 season, a total of 1 season.
Ended the renewal at the end of the 14-15 season and signed with Jilin Men's Basketball
Season statistics: Played 18 games, averaging 39.8 minutes, 33.3 points + 9.3 rebounds + 10.6 assists + 2.5 steals per game
Jones has returned to his peak at the age of 36 this season! Ranking second in playing time in the league, second in average scoring, tenth in rebounding, first in assists, and second in steals! A versatile warrior and the key to Jilin's victories!
Dominique Jones' first match in the CBA was with Liaoning Men's Basketball, where he averaged 24.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 2.6 steals! He has played with current Liaoning players Li Xiaoxu, Han Dejun, Zhao Jiwei, and Zhao Lüzhou, but in the following season, Liaoning chose the more explosive Hudson and let go of Jones!
VIII. Yan Shibo
Tenure with Liaoning: 22-23 season, a total of 1 season.
Joined Jiangsu Men's Basketball as a free agent in the 24-25 season
Season statistics: Did not play this season
**Yan Shibo did not get any playing time after joining Jiangsu Men's Basketball this season! Yan Shibo is only 22 years old this season, standing 186 cm tall and weighing 76 kg, playing
