On January 14th, Beijing time, the second stage of the CBA league regular season continued. In the just concluded 30th round, Guangdong team narrowly defeated Beikong men's basketball at home, achieving a six-game winning streak and rising to seventh place in the standings. Now, the Guangdong team, which has seen the hope of the top four in the playoffs and the championship, has also been exposed to decide to increase investment and offer a foreign aid, Daron Russell, who averages 16.4 points and 4.7 assists in the Turkish Super League. However, many fans still believe that what Guangdong team needs most is a swingman like Marshan and Weems, who are nearly 2 meters tall, especially after the incompatibility between Walters and Xu Jie last season.
From beginning to end, the most suitable swingman foreign aid for Guangdong team is last season's first foreign aid in the CBA league, Blackney. However, Blackney's plan to join Shanghai team this season suddenly changed, and this top foreign aid, who could hit an average of 30.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists last season, was also favored by many CBA league teams. Of course, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng must have realized that Blackney is very suitable for Guangdong team, but the limited foreign aid introduction budget of the team can hardly win Blackney. Recently, Blackney liked Xu Jie's triple-double on social media, which helped Guangdong team defeat Beikong team. Without a doubt, Blackney still pays attention to the CBA league and Guangdong men's basketball at this stage, which is a very good opportunity for Zhu Fangyu to cut off.
After all, it is impossible for Guangdong team to introduce Blackney with a lot of money at the beginning of the season, but it is still very possible to sign a short-term contract with Blackney before the playoffs. At present, Guangdong team's offer to Russell is more likely to just tide over the difficult period of Hu Mingxuan's injury recovery, and the final battle of the playoffs still needs qualified swingman foreign aid. Under such circumstances, Blackney is absolutely the most suitable choice for Guangdong team. Now, Guangdong team has won the seventh place in the standings with a wave of six consecutive victories, and the remaining opponents in the second stage of the subsequent regular season are only Shanghai team, so there is a chance to enter the top five positions before the regular season comes.
However, Guangdong team will usher in the devil schedule in the third stage of the regular season, including many championship favorites such as Guangsha team, Liaoning team and Shanxi team, which may play against Guangdong team many times. At that time, if Guangdong team does not have the addition of top foreign aid like Blackney, it will be difficult to compete with Brown, Fugue, Goodwin, Diaglo and others. For Guangdong team, although Beizili, Morland and Gillenwater are very strong at present, it is not enough to have only Xu Jie as the ball holder. Even if the star player Hu Mingxuan can return, Guangdong team's strong point of holding the ball also needs the support of the No. 3 foreign aid. Therefore, if Blackney still maintains his attention to Guangdong team, Zhu Fangyu can try to recruit this championship-level top foreign aid.
In short, Blackney is the most suitable new foreign aid for Guangdong team at this stage, and I believe he has already been favored by Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng. As for whether Guangdong team has the chance to cut off this top foreign aid in the league in the subsequent games, it depends on whether Hongyuan is willing to bet big on the playoffs this season and fight for the championship.
