Guangdong Men's Basketball Signs Fourth Foreign Player, Du Feng Delighted, Season Championship Bid Intensified
Guangdong Men's Basketball is a powerhouse in the CBA, having won 11 championships and boasting the highest popularity in the league. However, due to reasons such as a lack of young talent, they have been unable to achieve resounding victories. This has led to a situation where Guangdong Men's Basketball, which once had the highest attendance rates, can no longer even make it into the top five.
In order to change this situation, Zhu Fangyu has made multiple arrangements. He signed General Barton and Tres, hoping to use their scoring prowess to help the team create a wave of momentum. However, both of them disappointed Zhu Fangyu, as they were truly subpar foreign players. Especially Tres, who at one point did not obey the coaching staff's instructions. As a result, after signing for a period of time, both foreign players were cut from the team.
Currently, Guangdong Men's Basketball relies on small foreign player Xu Jie and big foreign player Jilunwater for scoring. With an average playing time of over 40 minutes, both have long been overwhelmed. If injuries occur, Guangdong Men's Basketball's performance will plummet. Considering this, Zhu Fangyu is still actively searching for a fourth foreign player. And he has set his sights on NBA player Daisen Knicks.
Daisen Knicks is a dual-guard, standing at 193 cm with a weight of 206 catties, making him a heavy guard. On the offensive end, he possesses excellent hard-solving capabilities, which is what Guangdong Men's Basketball urgently needs at present. Moreover, Knicks also has outstanding defensive abilities, capable of guarding positions one through four. In the NBA Development League, he averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists, and his stats are expected to further improve upon joining the CBA.
Knicks' arrival will greatly alleviate the pressure on Xu Jie, sharing his playing time and allowing this workhorse to have sufficient rest to prepare for the upcoming playoffs. Zhu Fangyu has already made an offer to Knicks, and it remains to be seen whether he will join. It can be said that once Knicks joins, Guangdong Men's Basketball will be like a tiger with wings, able to go further in the playoffs.
