"i went through a lot of difficulties during surgery and rehabilitation. fortunately, the results are very good and i am recovering well." after returning, liu lijia hopes to better help the team in the new season. "the team does not have many candidates for the fourth position. i want to help everyone share the pressure more on the court, hoping to help the team achieve better results and go further in the new season.”
for the young players of the shanghai men's basketball team, this summer has an unusual meaning - li hongquan, li tianrong and liu lijia were all selected for the national training team.

foreign players play a bigger role and the league pattern is difficult to predict
faced with the constant influx of fresh blood in the lineup, captain wang zhelin is also looking forward to the team's performance in the new season: "to the end of last season, everyone cooperated better and better. this season we retained the original lineup and added fresh players. with blood, the team will be more energetic and energetic.”
at the same time, wang zhelin also hopes that he can control his injuries in the new season and show more vitality. he also hopes to pass on his experience to young players.

at the same time, liu peng also emphasized that the changes in the foreign aid system have made this year's league pattern more unpredictable: "this year, foreign aid will be implemented with 7 players in 4 quarters, and foreign aid will play a more important role. whichever team selects foreign aid well will occupy the market." a big advantage.”
not long ago, blakeney, the earliest foreign aid confirmed by the shanghai men's basketball team, was unable to arrive in time due to family matters. this also caused some twists and turns in the selection of foreign aid for the shanghai men's basketball team. "we have high expectations for him. after all, he is a very capable player." scorer, we also took some emergency measures after the problem occurred, hoping to find other foreign aid as soon as possible to help the team.”
