Here at the right moment! Yang Ming's powerful assistant is in place, who will prevail in the Liaoning-Guangdong battle between Patton and Morand?
As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to be early. Everyone has been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Liaoning's new foreign big man, Patton. He is already in Hong Kong and should be arriving in Shenyang soon.
Unfortunately, Patton missed the game against Xinjiang. If it weren't for the birth of his second child, he would have arrived earlier, and Liaoning wouldn't have lost so many games they shouldn't have lost, nor would their ranking have fallen out of the top four.
But that's okay, because the season is still long. As the saying goes, "First fat is not fat, later fat overpowers the bed." Yang Ming has also clearly stated that they will counterattack once the lineup is complete.
Patton's arrival is also timely because the highly anticipated Liaoning-Guangdong battle on the 30th will mark his debut with Liaoning. As we all know, Guangdong's team just happens to have Morand, who plays the same position as Patton and was poached from Liaoning. The matchup between Patton and Morand will undoubtedly be the highlight of this Liaoning-Guangdong battle.
So here's the question: who is stronger between Patton and Morand?
This is a good question. First of all, whether comparing height or age, it's obvious that the 2.13-meter-tall Patton, who is only 27 years old and in his prime, is stronger than the 33-year-old Morand, who is only 2.08 meters tall.
Of course, there is no intention to belittle Morand. After all, he was one of the meritorious players of Liaoning's three consecutive championships, and that will never be erased. But whether you admit it or not, with age, Morand's competitive state has shown a significant decline since last season, especially in the playoffs. Otherwise, Liaoning would not have given Guangdong the opportunity to poach him, as Liaoning could have used their priority renewal rights to lock him down first.
But why didn't Liaoning lock down Morand but instead locked down Ferg? This already indicates that Ferg is definitely more important to Liaoning than Morand. In other words, Ferg's role is greater than Morand's, and his condition is also better than Morand's. That's why Liaoning decisively renewed Ferg's contract with a pay raise.
So I think Patton, who is six years younger, is theoretically stronger than Morand now.
I'm sure everyone is eager to know which side will come out on top in the first Liaoning-Guangdong battle of the season?
I believe that as long as Patton can successfully register and play in the Liaoning-Guangdong battle, Liaoning still has a chance to win. Because Patton's arrival means that Liaoning's last shortcoming has been filled, so Liaoning's strength will be further strengthened. And Guangdong's strength this season has not increased but decreased, so Liaoning should defeat Guangdong. This is my opinion, what do you think? Welcome to leave a message and exchange ideas!
