Webb, the fourth foreign aid for Liaoning Basketball Team, announced through his personal social media that he has boarded a plane to China, with his destination being Liaoning Shenyang, the home court of Liaoning Basketball Team. This way, there's no longer any fear of other teams intercepting him.
The flight from Turkey to Chengdu, Sichuan takes about eight hours, while flights to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou take approximately ten hours each. These three cities have had daily flights since July 2023. Therefore, Webb is likely on a flight to either Beijing or Shanghai, considering the proximity of Beijing to Shenyang. Normally, ten hours later, around 2 AM on the 7th, Webb should land safely in China. He probably won't rush to Shenyang overnight, so everyone should see Webb in Shenyang during the day on the 7th.
Webb's quick arrival indicates that he wants to provide assistance to the disorganized Liaoning team as soon as possible, helping them return to their championship form and demonstrating that his heart truly lies with Liaoning. He is eager to continue their glory and defend their title as champions!
Webb was once a teammate of Ferg, the meritorious small foreign aid who helped Liaoning win three consecutive championships, playing together in the American men's basketball team during the 2020 Americas Cup qualifiers.
At 34 years old, Ferg is still a top foreign player in the CBA, making the two-years-younger Webb equally anticipated.
Webb has proven himself in the Turkish league; at the time of his departure, he was the player with the highest efficiency rating in the league and ranked first in average steals, indicating that he is one of the star players in the Turkish league.
Moreover, Webb is a versatile player on the court: capable of playing both the third and fourth positions, with a three-point shooting accuracy close to 48% and an overall shooting rate exceeding 50%. This type of space-type forward is exactly what Liaoning's head coach Yang Ming needs. With Ferg and Wil, two small foreign players with decent three-point shooting accuracy and strong breakthrough abilities already in hand, partnering with either of them and adding Han Dejun or Patton at the fifth position would be a perfect match, providing not only height but also offensive space.
In summary, Webb's arrival will make Liaoning even stronger.
