CBA league regular season has reached the 21st round of the second stage, with Zhejiang Guangsha ranking first in the league, followed by Shanxi men's basketball team. The top five teams in the first echelon include Xinjiang men's basketball team, Beijing Shougang men's basketball team, Zhejiang Chouzhou men's basketball team, etc. The defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team only managed to secure the sixth position. Last season, during the second stage of their games, they were almost at the top of the league under the leadership of Ul, winning all the teams in the league and temporarily ranking first. However, such a team ranking does not seem to match the reputation of the defending champions.
During the off-season, Liaoning men's basketball team made active changes, re-evaluating Guo Ailun, who had been playing fewer games for three consecutive seasons! His presence seemed to hinder the overall development of the team, and Liaoning men's basketball team could almost win the league championship without Guo Ailun, establishing a dynasty with a stunning record of 12-0 in the finals. It seems that their success no longer requires Guo Ailun.
Liaoning men's basketball team traded Guo Ailun to Guangzhou, sent Wang Lanqin to Liaoning for three years of training, and after the time is up, Wang Lanqin will return to Nanjing Tongxi men's basketball team. Zhu Mingzhen was abandoned by Guangzhou men's basketball team to Nanjing Tongxi, he is like a burden, and Nanjing Tongxi will hardly become stronger because of him. A suitable role player can never become the top player in the team, and he doesn't have what it takes.
Zhao Jiwei has been fully promoted this season, no longer having two super shooting guards on the court so obviously. Zhao Jiwei has proven himself over the past few seasons, while Guo Ailun followed Liaoning men's basketball team to win multiple league championships for no apparent reason. When he won his last championship, Guo Ailun's expression seemed awkward, and he left the team he deeply loved with tears!
So far, after promoting Zhao Jiwei, in recent games, due to severe sore throat, Zhao Jiwei has missed several games in a row, watching the team lose game after game. The league ranking has steadily dropped from the playoff zone to the playoff qualifying zone. This season, Zhao Jiwei can help Liaoning men's basketball team average 10.8 points, 6.7 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Zhao Jiwei can score 30+ points in a single game, which is a phenomenal performance. On the thorny road ahead of Liaoning men's basketball team, they urgently need Zhao Jiwei to recover quickly and lead the team out of the gloom!
After trading away Guo Ailun, he joined Guangzhou men's basketball team! Guo Ailun helped Guangzhou men's basketball team gain a wave of good traffic and exposure, and many brand parties hope to cooperate with Guangzhou men's basketball team. In fact, Guo Ailun joined Guangzhou men's basketball team for two reasons: one is related to the top salary, and the other is that the team can unconditionally allow Guo Ailun to participate in a series of activities for his own brand without any obstacles. Instead, in Liaoning men's basketball team, he faced various restrictions. After leaving the team and joining Guangzhou men's basketball team, Guo Ailun averaged 14.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 0.4 blocks per game. Guo Ailun played very few games and has almost been out of action for a month. His injuries are really fatal.
Wang Lanqin, who is being cultivated, serves as the second substitute point guard for the team. Coach Yang Ming has high hopes for him, hoping that he can control the substitute rotation lineup when Zhao Jiwei is not on the court. Wang Lanqin constantly learns from Guo Shiqiang's national team and the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team. He will definitely return to Nanjing Tongxi in the future. Wang Lanqin can average 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game for Liaoning men's basketball team.
