Guangdong Men's Basketball Team Cuts Fourth Foreign Player, Du Feng Thrilled, Season Championship Bid Intensified
Guangdong Men's Basketball Team is a powerhouse in the CBA, with its popularity ranking among the top tier in the league. Additionally, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team offers very affordable ticket prices, resulting in consistently high attendance rates that are always among the highest in the league, often to the point of being sold out.
However, following the retirement of Yi Jianlian and the transfers of Zhao Rui and Zhou Peng, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has experienced a significant drop in strength. In particular, the team lacks a reliable scorer, leading to a situation where they struggle to both attack and defend on the court, giving off a sense of constipation. This has caused many fans to be dissatisfied. Fans buy tickets to watch their team play and win matches in an exhilarating manner; they do not come to see their team get dominated. As a result, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team's attendance rate this season has even failed to rank within the top five.
Changing this situation is relatively simple: recruit a top-level scorer. Once the situation improves and the team can defeat opponents in a spectacular and smooth manner, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, with its deep roots, can quickly regain its status as the most popular team in the league. Zhu Fangyu understands this situation, so he signed a top scorer, Rayven Lester, some time ago. However, what Zhu Fangyu did not expect was that he made a mistake in his judgment.
Lester is not strong and has not been trained in the NBA. Therefore, his scoring ability is poor, and most importantly, he has a big temper, having repeatedly clashed with the management led by Du Feng. He even failed to show up during the CBA Spring Festival Gala, the Liaoning-Guangdong match, which could be seen as provoking the team. With poor skills and a fiery temper, Lester was ultimately cut by Guangdong Men's Basketball Team after just ten days. This move frees up a foreign player slot for Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, allowing them to sign a true top-level swingman to help the team. At that time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team will be able to push further in the playoffs and even launch a charge towards the championship.
