On January 15th, there are three pieces of news regarding the CBA to share with you. First, according to Shandong sports journalist Xia Xiaosi, Chris wants to continue playing for the Shandong team next season.
Chris expressed that if possible, he would like to continue playing for the Shandong men's basketball team next season. He likes it here and everything about it, including the team atmosphere and the support and affection from Shandong basketball fans. "It's that simple, I like it here, and of course, I hope to continue playing for the Shandong team next season!"
Currently, the Shandong men's basketball team has an excellent record for various reasons. The first is that after Qiu Biao took over, he successfully restructured the team, sending away some veterans and introducing a group of new local players, which has boosted morale; the second point is that Shandong's foreign aid selection has indeed been good, with small foreign aid such as Gaili, Moore, and including Wiggins who left due to injury after the first stage, all in good form. Among them, Chris is undoubtedly the most successful big foreign aid, not falling behind other teams at all.
At the beginning of the league, Chris gave fans the biggest impression of being hot-tempered, including arguing with Yang Ming during the preseason. After the start of the regular season, he also had emotional outbursts on the court at times. However, as the season progressed, Chris integrated well with the entire team, and his combination with Tao Hanlin was very powerful. The latter is the dominant force under the basket, while Chris is a mobile power forward at the four position. Having understood the atmosphere of the CBA, he also learned to control his temper.
So far this season, Chris has played 29 games, averaging 21.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. It seems that Chris really enjoys playing for the Shandong team, otherwise, he wouldn't have said he wanted to renew his contract now. Unexpectedly, the Shandong team will definitely want to keep this outstanding foreign aid next season.
The second piece of news is that according to basketball insiders, Ding Yanyuhang will undergo his first makeup physical test in Beijing this week.
Ding Yanyuhang's experiences in recent years have indeed made fans sigh, but fortunately, he has not given up the opportunity to continue playing in the CBA, including his former coach Gong Xiaobin, who expressed respect for his persistence during a live broadcast.
Guangzhou team signing Ding Yanyuhang is indeed self-interested. In terms of player needs, Xiao Ding's value is not great, at most serving as a rotational player, and not necessarily performing better than young players. However, Xiao Ding's influence is huge, and fans do not expect him to perform well, as long as he can stay on the court, it is psychological comfort for everyone.
In addition, Guangzhou team putting Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang together, the topic is full, since the results cannot be expected, it is still worth it to hype the heat.
Last time during the physical test, Ding Yanyuhang passed two strength testing sessions and will make up for the shooting and 17-fold tests. Last season, Ding Yanyuhang played 7 games for the Nanjing team, averaging 2.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game.
The third piece of news is that the Shanxi men's basketball team officially announced the signing of foreign aid Godwin Omenaka.
Godwin Omenaka, born on October 9, 2000 in Nigeria, is 206 cm tall and plays as a center. Omenaka has previously played in France, Hungary, and Germany. During his time with Rostock in the German Basketball Bundesliga, Omenaka averaged 10.17 points and 6.83 rebounds in 24 minutes per game.
This season, Shanxi team has been very successful in choosing foreign aid, especially represented by Goodwin and Diallo, playing a significant role in improving their record.
At the same time, Shanxi team has been constantly changing foreign aid during the season, and fans are now a bit unclear about how many have come, only asking for effectiveness, and if not, they will change, fully preparing for the championship challenge.
