Recently, young power forward Zhang Mingchi, who was demoted by Guangdong Southern Tigers, has been recalled from the development league, but Du Feng still did not give him a chance to play. The club is currently considering trading Zhang Mingchi in exchange for players that the team needs more. If the candidate is satisfactory, Guangdong is even willing to add other players besides Zhang Mingchi.
The 22-year-old Zhang Mingchi has played for Guangdong for four seasons, but he has only played 17 games this season. His father's recent post "forcing the club" also led to Zhang Mingchi being demoted to the CBDL development league for a period of time. It can be said that without the family's actions, he would have gradually become a marginal figure in the team. Such family interference is something every club dislikes. Additionally, Zhang Mingchi is still young and is under a Class B contract, making him an ideal player type for trade chips.
It is expected that Guangdong will use Zhang Mingchi as one of the chips to exchange for a young and promising forward player. There are many candidates, such as Zou Yang from Fujian and Chen Guohao from Beikong. However, Zhang Mingchi alone is not enough. Guangdong currently has many young players at their disposal, so they can easily make a multiple-for-one trade. Zhang Mingchi's departure is only a matter of time.
The second piece of good news comes from Liaoning Flying Leopards. Tomorrow night, Liaoning will face Guangsha, the league leader, away from home. This is indeed a tough challenge for Liaoning. Therefore, Yang Ming has made bold changes, allowing several sick main players to rest and using a new lineup to compete against Guangsha.
Before the game, it has been confirmed that Fu Hao and Yan Shouqi will miss the game due to colds, and Zhao Jiwei has been in poor form recently. Yang Ming has brought Huang Qiushi, Zhang Junhao, and Liu Yanyu to the away game. Tomorrow night's game will see Liaoning make significant changes to their formation. Although Liaoning lost to Guangsha in their first meeting this season, these changes may yield unexpected results. This game is definitely worth looking forward to and could even be seen as a prelude to the finals. The game will be broadcast live on CCTV Sports at 19:35 on January 23rd. Who do you think will win in the second battle between Liaoning and Guangsha? The pressure is on Yang Ming, as his previous record has dropped out of the top six, and there have been calls for his dismissal. Tomorrow night will be Yang Ming's chance to prove himself.
The third piece of news comes from Shanghai Sharks. Although their 16-game winning streak was ended previously, followed by two consecutive losses, this does not mean that Shanghai lacks the momentum to continue their comeback. Tonight, Shanghai will host Guangdong with the goal of completing a double kill over Guangdong and continuing to improve their ranking.
So far this season, Shanghai ranks 12th after playing three fewer rounds, but their actual win rate is not far behind Guangdong. In their previous encounter, Shanghai defeated Guangdong by a 33-point advantage away from home, demonstrating that Shanghai's strength surpasses Guangdong. Additionally, Guangdong currently has a three-foreign player configuration, while Shanghai has four foreign players. With Hu Mingxuan absent and Xu Jie holding the fort alone, Shanghai has the advantage in terms of complete lineup.
Tonight, returning to their home court, Shanghai is even more confident about achieving a double kill over Guangdong. The game starts at 19:35 tonight. Please get ready for the match, as the second battle between Shanghai and Guangdong is sure to be intense and exciting!
