In the ever-changing and opportunity-filled basketball arena of the CBA, each season is akin to an intense marathon where teams strive for honor and achievement. The introduction of foreign players often becomes a pivotal step for teams to adjust their strategies and enhance their strength during the season. This is evident as the CBA transfer market has been set ablaze with the release of Daishen Nix, creating a frenzy among teams. With European leagues in full swing, focusing on domestic competitions, finding suitable small foreign players is akin to scaling the heavens. At this juncture, players eliminated from the NBA and its development league become highly sought after by CBA teams, igniting a fierce talent competition. Daishen Nix, the 193cm tall, 204-jin (approximately 204 pounds) guard, stands out like a heavy tank on the court. During his time with the Rockets, he left a deep impression on fans, albeit somewhat peculiar. In games where the Rockets were intentionally losing to improve draft position, Nix was often sent onto the court when the team took the lead. However, upon his entry, the situation would dramatically change, with the team's scoring defense crumbling like a breached dam, leaving spectators stunned. In one game, he played for over 30 minutes but scored only 4 points, a performance that fell short of expectations. The primary reason for this was his obvious shortcomings in shooting, which prevented him from becoming a reliable role player in the NBA and ultimately led to his elimination. However, as the saying goes, "A tangerine grown south of the Huai…

On January 11, 2025, Beijing time, the Knicks, with a record of 25 wins and 13 losses, faced off against the Thunder, who had 30 wins and 6 losses. This was the second meeting between the two teams this season. In their first encounter, the Thunder defeated the Knicks at home, ending the Knicks' nine-game winning streak. The Knicks were eager for revenge today. The Thunder lost to the Cavaliers in their previous game, ending their 15-game winning streak. They also hoped to bounce back. Both teams are very strong, so who would win today's game? The Knicks were without Miro, starting with Brunson, Bridges, Hart, OG, and Towns. The Thunder were missing Chet and Caruso, starting with Alexander, Wallace, Dort, Jalen, and Harten. In the first quarter, both teams played with high defensive intensity in the first five minutes, making it difficult for either side to score. The Knicks only managed to score through Brunson's two free throws, while the Thunder scored through Jalen's layup, resulting in a 2-2 tie. Brunson and Hart then scored four points, giving the Knicks a 6-2 lead. Alexander responded with a mid-range jumper, reducing the gap to two points. After a timeout, Jalen and Dort scored five points, allowing the Thunder to take a three-point lead. Brunson scored five points in response, but Alexander and Isaiah Joe combined for five points, keeping the difference at three points. Hart and Towns scored, while Alexander continued to score, with Wiggins, Dort, and Isaiah Joe also contributing, extending the lead to 14 points. At the end…

Recently, the recruitment moves of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team have become a major focus in the CBA league, especially the news about the potential signing of foreign player DeShawn Nichols, which has sparked heated discussions among fans. This player is known for his outstanding independent offensive capabilities and has attracted the keen interest of many championship-contending teams, including Zhejiang and Qingdao. His destination will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the competitive landscape of the CBA league. The reason why DeShawn Nichols has become the target of many teams is largely due to his impressive performance in the Development League. Although his three-point shooting percentage is only around 30%, he has shown his powerful individual abilities and comprehensive offensive skills with once-glorious statistics of 45 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. Such performances make people imagine that if Nichols can bring such a state to the CBA, he will become a key figure for any team to enhance their combat effectiveness. Nichols' playing style is very aggressive, and fans once considered him an enhanced version of Dominique Jones. Nichols' entry into the sights of various teams also owes thanks to the recent layoff wave in the NBA. The Minnesota Timberwolves had to cut this talented wing player due to lineup adjustments, which undoubtedly provided other teams with an excellent opportunity to strengthen their lineups. For Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, which urgently needs foreign aid to fill gaps and enhance competitiveness, Nichols' layoff was an unexpected joy. Guangdong Team has previously cut foreign aid Les, which decision freed up enough salary…

Recently, after NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves announced the release of point guard D'Angelo Russell, several CBA clubs have shown interest in acquiring him. According to media reports, Beijing Shougang Men's Basketball Team was the first to make an offer, followed by Guangdong Southern Tigers joining the bidding war. Guangdong Southern Tigers lack talent at the No. 1 position, with only Xu Jie struggling to support, averaging over 40 minutes per game. Therefore, the team also wants to find a player to share the pressure with Xu Jie, and Russell is one of the targets. Guangdong Southern Tigers have been paying attention to overseas small foreign aid information after hastily ending their contract with the subpar foreign aid, Les. They have now officially offered Russell. Russell, standing at 1.93 meters tall, is a point guard with good organizing and connecting abilities, which is exactly what Guangdong needs. However, many people are not optimistic about this signing because Russell has been called a "tank god" by fans due to his slow breakthrough pace and fondness for mindlessly shooting three-pointers with low accuracy. However, as the saying goes, "A change of scenery can do wonders." In the NBA, he couldn't get playing time, but coming to the CBA might be like a bug, such as Shanghai Sharks' Lofton. Bazley, who currently plays for Guangdong Southern Tigers, is also a player who couldn't get playing time in the NBA. Considering that Guangdong Southern Tigers have stumbled three times in a row in introducing small foreign aids, the team management will be very cautious in selecting…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, and the dynamics of foreign player recruitment by various teams have become a hot topic among fans. Recently, the name of 22-year-old swingman Deyshon Nix has been frequently mentioned. According to reports, this young player who was recently cut by the Timberwolves has attracted the attention of several strong CBA teams, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Qingdao. Several teams have even offered him contracts. However, it seems that Guangdong is the most likely team to sign Nix, depending on whether the young player is willing to give up his dream of returning to the NBA and instead join the CBA. Nix is only 22 years old, standing at 193cm tall and weighing 102kg, a typical "heavyweight" swingman. During his time with the Rockets, he once scored an impressive 45 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in a single game. This sounds explosive, right? But in reality, his offensive efficiency is not high. In the NBA, where there are many strong players, Nix's attribute as a "ball possession consumer" makes it difficult for him to establish himself. During his time in the Development League, his shooting percentage was not outstanding, and his three-point shooting percentage was only around 30%, which is clearly not enough to make him a top-tier foreign player. Simply put, Nix is not the kind of super foreign player who can easily turn the tide of a game like Samner or Diawlo. However, from another perspective, the playing style of the CBA league is completely different from…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has had a disappointing season in terms of their foreign guard signings. Despite Zhu Fangyu bringing in three players - Barton, Arms, and Reese - none of them have lived up to expectations, with their performances falling short and ultimately leading to their release from the team. In this context, Xu Jie has become the core of the backcourt, showing noticeable improvement. However, his continuous playing time exceeding 40 minutes per game has taken a toll on his body, resulting in some discomfort. For Guangdong Men's Basketball, signing a new foreign guard has become urgent. Now, there is concrete news on this matter. According to Zhejiang media, Guangdong Men's Basketball has completed the signing of former NBA player Daejon Ely, who will soon join the team. Let's delve into how the news about Guangdong signing Ely came to light. On January 4th, the Timberwolves waived guard Daejon Ely to make room for Newton in their roster. Subsequently, domestic media reported that several CBA teams, including Guangdong Men's Basketball, Zhejiang Men's Basketball, and Qingdao Men's Basketball, expressed strong interest in Daejon Ely, with some even offering him contracts. On January 8th, an informed source revealed that Guangdong Men's Basketball had signed Daejon Ely. This source has been accurate in the past, having previously disclosed information about Guangdong Men's Basketball signing Arms and Zhejiang Men's Basketball signing Simmons, with detailed information provided. Even the fact that Guangdong Men's Basketball outbid Zhejiang Men's Basketball for Arms was revealed by this source. Based on this, it seems that the news…

According to media personality Zhou Peng's revelation, NBA Timberwolves guard Daejon Nichols has been cut by the Timberwolves, and several CBA teams are interested in signing him. Most fans are not too familiar with Daejon Nichols, but he left a deep impression as a "tank god" during his time with the Rockets. His role on the court was actually to lose games, as the Rockets lost games to secure higher draft picks. During his time with the Rockets, Nichols averaged 3.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.5 turnovers in 13.8 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 38%, a three-point percentage of 46%, and a free throw percentage of 75%. Nichols' strengths and weaknesses are very clear. On the offensive end, he has an excellent build, standing at 193 cm tall and weighing 102 kg, making him a small cannon-type guard. He has a strong impact when driving to the basket, has a good overall view on the court, has a wide field of vision for passing, and has excellent passing skills and techniques. He also has the ability to shoot three-pointers, although it is not very stable. Fans need not worry about his competitive form; as recently as November 10, 2024, in a G League game where the Iowa Wolves defeated the Sioux Falls Skyforce 121-118, Nichols shot 14 out of 29 from the field, 4 out of 13 from three-point range, and 7 out of 10 from the free throw line, scoring 45 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. This…

With the liberalization of the new season's foreign aid policy, teams are successively introducing super foreign players, and some teams have even introduced eight foreign players one after another, hoping to find the most suitable foreign player through continuous trial and error. According to media personality "Zhou Peng Daveeeeee": "Several CBA teams are interested in former Rockets and Timberwolves guard Darius Days-Nix." According to reporter Jon Krawczynski's earlier report, sources revealed that the Timberwolves have cut guard Darius Days-Nix. "In addition, the media personality also revealed that this signing is about to be officially announced, which means that this NBA-level ball-holding core will soon land on the CBA court, will it change the league pattern? Darius Days-Nix is 22 years old this year, 1.93 meters tall, playing as a point guard. As the No. 1 point guard in the United States among the five-star high school students in the 2020 class, Darius Days-Nix did not go to UCLA to play. He eventually went to the development league. In the 20-21 season, he played for the Rockets, averaging 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. After being cut by the Rockets, Darius Days-Nix turned to the Timberwolves and played three games for the Timberwolves this season, totaling 1 point, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. In the G League Iowa Wolves, Darius Days-Nix played 10 games, averaging 34.8 minutes, contributing 22.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 2.9 steals, with very comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities. It is worth mentioning that in the game against the Sioux Falls Sky Force this season,…

As the CBA regular season enters its final stretch, teams are beginning to clarify and pursue their seasonal goals, leading to a flurry of reinforcements. Zhejiang Guangsha signs giant Boban: Currently at the bottom of the regular season standings, Zhejiang Guangsha has signed the giant Boban. If he adapts well, he could become one of the strongest interior players in the league, giving Zhejiang Guangsha a chance to break Liaoning Men's Basketball's championship defense. Liaoning Men's Basketball and Guangdong Men's Basketball reinforcement dynamics: The reigning champion Liaoning Men's Basketball officially announced the signing of the fourth foreign aid forward Weber to patch up weaknesses. Guangdong Men's Basketball is interested in NBL scoring champion Bart, but fans doubt whether he can adapt to the CBA. Background of DeShawn Nichols and CBA interest: DeShawn Nichols, 22 years old, 193 cm tall, was once a five-star high school player in the United States, but lost his draft opportunity by choosing to join the NBA G League. He has performed in the G League, Rockets, and Timberwolves, but was recently cut by the Timberwolves. Despite being cut, DeShawn's athleticism and potential still attract the attention of many CBA teams. Possible CBA teams for DeShawn Nichols to join: Guangdong Men's Basketball urgently needs to solve the small foreign aid problem, and DeShawn may be an option. Xinjiang Men's Basketball needs a foreign aid that can break through in critical moments, which DeShawn fits. Beikong Men's Basketball has higher goals this season, but their current ranking does not meet expectations, so they have the opportunity to…
