According to foreign player agent Dong Hao, after the departure of Les, Guangdong men's basketball team is trying out the fourth foreign aid, which is Bart, a 1.97-meter dribbling forward. Bart previously played for Guangxi Weizhuang in the NBL and once scored 44 points in a single game. Although his ability has some gaps with the peak period of Weems, it is more in line with Du Feng's tactics of launching an attack from the forward.
Before Les tried out for a week, he was only given 5 minutes of playing time after signing, so Guangdong fans are wary of the club's tryout. Moreover, what the team urgently needs now is a foreign guard with hard-solving ability, not a forward foreign aid. Xu Jie playing more than 40 minutes per game is not a long-term solution. Guards such as Zhang Wenyi and Yang Yi either have poor ball control skills or are too short and easy to be targeted. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce foreign guards to share the pressure on Xu Jie. Besides, the forward line has already given Bazley a full guarantee contract. Adding another forward foreign aid will overlap their positions, not only wasting resources but also failing to solve the shortcomings.
After completing the relevant registration procedures, Liaoning men's basketball team's new aid Justin Patton will make his debut in the match against Zhejiang Guangsha. Although he has been training with the team for a few days, it is recommended that Liaoning fans do not pin too much hope on Patton. Although everyone hopes that Patton can replicate Morand's role, Patton was cut after only playing 4 games for Shanxi Fenjiu before, and his physical and mental talents and basketball IQ cannot be compared with Morand. Due to the absence of Guangsha's newly signed big foreign aid Boban in this battle, Liaoning men's basketball team missed a great opportunity to test him. Under Zhao Jiwei's passing support, as long as Patton can avoid turnovers in the offense and protect the rim in defense, coach Yang Ming should be satisfied.
In addition to Patton's emergency assistance to the team, the brokerage company also officially announced the news of James Webb III signing with Liaoning men's basketball team. As a 2.06-meter forward, James Webb can rotate between the 4th and 5th positions, which is an additional reinforcement for Liaoning men's basketball team. Webb III has already set off from across the ocean and is expected to arrive in Shenyang to join the team by the 10th.
In the home game against Qingdao Guoxin, Guangzhou Long Lions not only lost but also suffered an 11-game losing streak. The main center Jiao Boqiao was reimbursed for the season due to a torn ligament, which is really adding insult to injury for the struggling Guangzhou Long Lions. However, judging from the video posted by Guo Ailun recently, the recovery of the leg injury is good, and Ding Yanhang, who has not yet passed the physical test in the video, has already participated in the team's confrontation training. It is believed that Long Lions fans will soon see these two stars on the court.
Leading by as many as 25 points, Xinjiang men's basketball team was actually reversed by Shanxi Fenjiu, paying the price for youth. However, after the game, head coach Liu Wei revealed good news. The previous injured space-type power forward Zhu Xuhang will undergo a physical test in the near future and is about to return. Zhu Xuhang's excellent three-point shooting ability can create space for his teammates, and he is a highly functional player. However, the reason why Xinjiang men's basketball team is repeatedly reversed by opponents is still due to the lack of hard-solving ability of the three foreign players when the team cannot open up the situation. To put it bluntly, it is because the foreign players are too mediocre. Therefore, Xinjiang fans urgently hope that the management can introduce the fourth foreign aid and replace Higins, who only passes the ball to his teammates at critical moments, to make the lineup stronger, so that they can stay in the top 4 in the regular season and lay a good foundation for the return of the main players in the playoffs.
