as the registration window for local players in the new season of the cba draws closer, teams are also rushing to make final adjustments to their personnel. on august 27, a reporter from qilu evening news and qilu one point confirmed with jia cheng that he has joined the qingdao guoxin haitian men's basketball team and has started training with the team.
from jinan to qingdao, jia cheng will open a new chapter in his career. the qingdao men's basketball team also has its own considerations for choosing this veteran inside player.
insider loss
qingdao team strengthens its team
for the sake of lineup balance, qingdao men's basketball team chose jia cheng.
in july, the original team's inside player qu junxuan moved to the chiba jets club of the japanese b league due to the expiration of his contract; in addition, the qingdao men's basketball team also traded the signing rights of the 2.25-meter-tall "little giant" liu chuanxing to the shanxi men's basketball team.
while fully cultivating yang hansen, qingdao men's basketball team lost two big men in succession, lacking sufficient rotation in the interior, and other young players failed to step up. in this case, the team really needs to strengthen the interior and add a veteran to the rotation.
jia cheng, who is 2.08 meters tall, can take on this responsibility. from a technical perspective, as a power forward, he has the ability to shoot from mid-range and long-range, which can open up the inside space; at the same time, due to his good physical fitness, he can also serve as a center, reducing the pressure on yang hansen.
yang hansen performed well in his rookie season, but due to his average playing time of more than 30 minutes per game and lack of playoff experience, the rising star faced a lot of pressure. with jia cheng's assistance, yang can better realize his potential.
although his physical fitness is affected as he gets older, if jia cheng can maintain his physical condition at a high level, he still has the potential to become a qualified substitute.
for head coach liu weiwei, after introducing jia cheng, he can even try a double tower lineup, placing yang hansen at the fifth position and jia cheng at the fourth position. this changeable tactical combination may help the qingdao men's basketball team go further in the new season.
rich experience
jia cheng helps young people grow
qingdao men's basketball team will be the third team that jia cheng has played for in his cba career.
in the 2010-2011 season, jia cheng made his debut with the shandong men's basketball team. in 2013, he joined the sichuan team on loan from the shandong team and won the 2015-2016 cba championship with the sichuan team. in september 2016, jia cheng returned to shandong and played until the end of last season. in the new season, he will wear the jersey of the qingdao team.
data shows that last season, jia cheng played 50 times in the cba regular season, including 13 starts, averaging 22.5 minutes per game, scoring 8.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks. his shooting percentage was 39.8%, his three-point shooting percentage was 29.7%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 79.3%.
although he is already a veteran over 30 years old, jia cheng has played in the professional arena for more than 10 seasons and has a championship ring. as a young team on the rise, qingdao needs jia cheng's rich practical experience.
qilu derby
new season adds new highlights
whether it is the chinese super league or the cba, the "qilu derby" is always full of highlights. last season, the battle between shandong men's basketball team's tao hanlin and yang hansen for the title of "qilu's no. 1 center" attracted countless attention. in the upcoming new season, jia cheng will also play an important role in the battle between the teams in the same province.
as a native shandong man, jia cheng has always had a deep affection for shandong basketball. although he left his old club to join a team in the same province, he did not go too far away, but when they met again, the once close teammates had become rivals.
for football fans, the drama of players turning against their former team is something they never get tired of watching.
shandong high-speed men's basketball team made many moves during this offseason. not only did jia cheng leave the team, but also jiao hailong, zhang xinyu, aze, and foreign aid gilgeous-alexander, all of whom did not continue to play for the team. only tao hanlin remained at the center position. the addition of sun tonglin and guo kai filled the team's void in the interior.
people change every year, and when the two teams meet again in the future, it will be a new story.
