Just now, Liaoning Bensteel Men's Basketball Team, which has won three consecutive CBA championships, announced that it has successfully signed with American player James Webb III. The player was not selected in the 2016 NBA draft and his career has been through the NBA, NBA Development League, Bundesliga, La Liga and other leagues in several countries. After many twists and turns, he finally decided to join Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, and both sides will work together to fight the remaining games of this season.
A few days ago, James Webb III set off from Europe to China. After arriving in Hong Kong, he spent about 48 hours handling entry-related matters, and it was not until one o'clock this morning that he arrived in Shenyang. Unexpectedly, after only six hours in Shenyang, Webb went to Northeast International for a physical examination early this morning with Liaoning Men's Basketball Team staff. After the physical examination, he went straight to the home court of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team to meet with the team, and also exchanged greetings with head coach Yang Ming and other teammates one by one.
After the physical examination results came out, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team immediately announced the signing of James Webb III. However, considering that Webb has not yet obtained the official registration information of the CBA and is tired from continuous flights, he is unlikely to play in tonight's game between Liaoning Team and Beikong Team. Although he cannot participate in the game immediately, Webb's behavior and spirit of sacrificing rest time to complete the registration as soon as possible are worth being moved by every fan.
Before joining Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, James Webb played for Kasimpasa Club in the Turkish league. However, due to financial difficulties encountered by the club, it often owed salaries to Webb and other players, so Webb decided to leave the team. While playing for Kasimpasa, Webb had the highest efficiency in the team and the most steals per game, showing his high offensive efficiency and excellent defense. With him, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team can directly enhance its frontcourt strength, thus maintaining a balanced state on all five positions on the court.
Since Webb joined, Yang Ming can finally implement his tactical ideas freely. In previous years during the offseason, Yang Ming often went to Spain to learn, relying on the most cutting-edge basketball concepts internationally, where five players on the court need excellent mobility and stable shooting ability. After Liaoning Men's Basketball Team successively signed Patton and Webb, surrounding Patton, Webb, Fu Hao, Zhang Zhenlin and others, Yang Ming can let Patton and Webb play together to create a flexible and long-range shooting combination, or freely match four foreign aid players to form an inside-out double foreign aid model to execute this concept.
Imagine if, in the playoffs, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team lets Webb play at the No. 4 position. Webb is an outstanding power forward in individual defense and also has the ability to shoot three-pointers from the weak side, which will undoubtedly be a terrible existence for any team, like a nightmare. Moreover, it is really hard to imagine what kind of terrifying performance they will present in three-point shooting when Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has top shooters like Webb, Zhang Zhenlin, Fredette, Wells and Zhao Jiwei on the court at the same time!
