In a recent exclusive interview with "Tiyu Xin Shijie," Tianjin Tigers player Barton seems to have come to terms with his new role in his career. He revealed that as early as last year, Coach Yu Genwei began discussing matters related to the full-back position with him, showing that this coach is indeed far-sighted and prepared for any eventuality, fearing that the team might fall into chaos at the start of the new season. When talking about playing as a right-back in the warm-up matches, Barton mentioned somewhat helplessly that due to experienced veterans like Da Han and Tomorrow leaving, the team had to reassess its economic situation and survival capabilities. As a result, it needed to continuously tap into its internal potential. Isn't this a textbook interpretation of "self-sufficiency"? Interestingly, Barton also appears quite confident in adapting to this new position. He mentioned the tacit cooperation between himself and the older players, which can truly be described as mutual understanding and tacit agreement among "old hands."

As we all know, due to Ture's poor performance, Liaoning continued to negotiate with Patton. Justin Patton was born on June 14, 1997. In the 2017 NBA draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves traded for the 16th pick from the Chicago Bulls and used this pick to select Justin Patton. However, his NBA career did not go smoothly later, and last season he signed with Shanxi Fenjiu Club. Justin Patton is 213cm tall and has good mobility and lateral movement ability. As an inside player, Patton has outstanding jumping power and starting speed, and his second jump ability ranks among the top among peers. Patton has top-notch running ability among inside players and can adapt to the fast-paced rhythm of the NBA. Patton's footwork is good, and he even uses guard-style crossover steps in the game. Although Patton played for Shanxi for a short time last season, we can fully trust Shanxi's vision in selecting foreign aid. According to Shanxi fans, Patton is strong, but his one-on-one ability is poor. He needs guards to drive him. His scoring ability is excellent, and he has a…
