Some fans jokingly say that since the second stage, Xu Jie has become more and more like Curry. This not only refers to Xu Jie's playing style approaching Curry's, but also to the fact that like Curry in his early years, Xu Jie signed a relatively cheap "child labor contract" with the team, yet plays a crucial role as the soul of the team. There are also fans from Guangdong who have spoken up for Xu Jie, hoping that the team could give him a raise and some "hardship allowance." However, due to CBA regulations, a raise is unlikely, but issuing bonuses is still possible. It is understood that after the game between Guangdong and Shandong, Chen, the boss of Guangdong, personally came to the bench and sat next to Xu Jie to console him, so the bonus is definitely not to be missed! Hu Mingxuan also received good news, with media reports suggesting that Xiao Hu's recovery progress is quite optimistic, and he is likely to return a month earlier than expected!
Xu Jie played 36.7 minutes this season, averaging 16.2 points, 7.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.58 steals, with all stats ranking among the top domestic players in the league. So far this season, Xu Jie has won the domestic monthly MVP once, been selected into the best lineup several times, and became the "second-highest vote-getter" in the first week of the All-Star voting. Given such performance by Xu Jie, what do you think his annual salary is? According to the official announcement of the CBA, Xu Jie signed a Class B contract with Guangdong. Although there is no accurate figure for the specific annual salary, it has been disclosed by the media that Xu Jie's annual salary will not exceed one million. As a top CBA guard and a main guard for the national team, his salary is actually less than one million, which shows how high the cost-effectiveness of Xu Jie's salary is.
It is unlikely to give Xu Jie a raise because the contract has already been signed, but it is possible to help him out by issuing bonuses for winning games, etc. After the game between Guangdong and Shandong, Chen, the boss of Guangdong, personally came to the bench and sat next to Xu Jie, hugging each other intimately. Besides encouraging Xu Jie for his excellent performance in this game, Chen should have also promised to issue a bonus for winning the game. After all, Xu Jie kept smiling after he left, seemingly very satisfied with the conversation just now. Some fans frankly said that even if Xu Jie were given a one-million-yuan bonus this season, it would not be too much, as his role is much greater than that of ordinary top-salary players earning six million!
After Hu Mingxuan was injured, Zhu Fangyu spent a lot of money inviting Ye En, the best domestic rehabilitation trainer, to help Xiao Hu with his rehabilitation training. Media revealed that Hu Mingxuan's recovery progress is quite remarkable. Judging from the rehabilitation training, Xiao Hu has removed the protective bandage, and his injured hand can perform stretching exercises of certain intensity. Moreover, when Hu Mingxuan recently watched Guangdong's game on-site, his expression was very relaxed and cheerful, which is obviously different from his previous seriousness and silence, indicating that his injury has significantly improved! It can basically be confirmed that Hu Mingxuan can return early, and he may even participate in the last few games of the second stage of Guangdong.
