Some fans jokingly say that there are three things that are the most difficult in the CBA: Zhou Qi playing all games in a season, Zhao Rui not exploding on his own, and Guangdong Hongyuan finding a small foreign aid. This season, Guangdong has found three small foreign aids, Barton, Amusles, one worse than the other. Zhu Fangyu said that since you all think they are not good enough, then let Xu Jie be the small foreign aid. So in the second stage, Xu Jie became the actual small foreign aid of Guangdong team. Of course, the above is just a joke, Zhu Fangyu is still working. Previously, media reported that Guangdong offered to sign with Dalong Russell, who played in the Turkish Super League. Just as everyone was looking forward to his arrival to relieve Xu Jie's pressure, the latest news shows that due to the failure to reach an agreement on salary treatment, Russell refused to sign, and the CBA trip is temporarily shelved.
To put it bluntly, Russell thinks that Guangdong pays too little money, and the contract is non-guaranteed, which he thinks is "looking down on himself". This situation actually often happens in this season's CBA. After all, the foreign aid policy has changed greatly this year. When each club signs new foreign aids, they basically sign a non-guaranteed contract first, and the salary is paid monthly or by stages. For foreign players, coming from afar to drift in a foreign country with low wages and no guarantee is definitely unwilling. There are also Guangdong fans who are happy that Russell did not join Guangdong, because Russell is at a disadvantage in height, and his technical characteristics are similar to those of the previous Walters, and they are not optimistic about his future in the CBA.
But I think that at this stage, Guangdong is looking for a small foreign aid, the fundamental purpose is to find a suitable helper for Xu Jie, in addition to being able to dribble, organize, and attack on his own, the most important point is to arrive quickly. Now Xu Jie has to play 40 minutes in every game, and this state has been maintained for almost two months. Xu Jie's physical reserve and physical condition are in a state of near collapse. The faster we find a small foreign aid to relieve Xu Jie's pressure, the lower the chance of his collapse and the smaller the risk of injury. From this point of view, Zhu Fangyu's performance is very unsuccessful. It has been almost half a month since the revelation of Russell, and the second stage is almost over. As a result, Russell now says he won't come, which basically means that Xu Jie will have to carry through the remaining few games.
What is Xu Jie's current state? He only went to the local hospital in Fujian for examination and treatment on Friday, and may not be able to play in Saturday's game. In such a situation, the management is not in a hurry to find foreign aid, but is still haggling, which is too outrageous! We know that signing foreign aid requires money, a lot of money, but once Xu Jie falls, Guangdong's season will be directly written off, and the economic loss will be much higher than the signing fee of a small foreign aid. Zhu Fangyu has always been like this in recent years, saving small money but making big mistakes. It seems that he saved a lot of money in the short term, but in fact, he picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
