Translation:
Guangdong's season has been filled with quite a few controversial moves. Starting with the importation of foreign players, there's no need to go into too much detail; they still haven't found the right combination. This season, they've signed six foreign players, including Bazley, who was cut and then re-signed. Although Bazley is recognized by some Guangdong fans, his performance after returning has been average. He hasn't been able to showcase his talent on the offensive end or solve the fundamental problems for Guangdong. Bazley was the first taste of "returning to the old grass" for Guangdong, and it's unclear if they've become addicted. Today, it was revealed that Peng Shijun, the departed youth team forward, will return to Guangdong.
Peng Shijun is likely very familiar to many Guangdong fans. He joined the first team last season but hasn't played in any CBA games. This season, Guangdong did not register him, and the reasons for not registering are varied. There have actually been several instances of him wanting to leave the team, and he often didn't train with the team. In Du Feng's team, this type of player finds it hard to get opportunities. Du Feng values players who train hard and have the right attitude. Peng Shijun previously had some negative interactions with the club and Guangdong fans on social media. Guangdong fans once had high hopes for him, but now they're not as enthusiastic.
It's been rumored that he'll be registered in the third stage, which leaves many Guangdong fans puzzled. It's said to be because of Peng Shijun's uncle, Zhang Qingpeng's connections. After all, Zhang Qingpeng, Zhu Fangyu, and Du Feng were all national team teammates and have a good relationship. Peng Shijun is actually in a dead-end situation. As a product of Guangdong's youth training and with a contract in place, he can't leave even if he wants to. If he wants to play, he still needs Guangdong to show mercy; otherwise, he can only look for opportunities in other leagues. However, Peng Shijun doesn't have that ability. He wasn't valued during his trial in Guangxi and could only play streetball.
What use is there in bringing Peng Shijun back, especially since Wang Hongze will join the first team next season, leaving no room for the "little bomb." If it's to prepare for a trade, that would be understandable.
