the last foreign aid is confirmed! the shanghai jiushi men's basketball team recently decided to introduce nigerian center egbonu, thus gathering four foreign players. two guards, a power forward and a center. with the help of these four foreign players, what results will the sharks achieve in the new season? any chance of reaching the semi-finals?
due to blakeney's sudden change and being unable to come to china, the sharks finally decided to change from three foreign players to four foreign players for the new season. they hope that on the basis of finishing sixth in the regular season last season, they can continue to maintain their competitiveness for better results in the new season. .
according to public information, the sharks’ finalized foreign aid, john egbenu, is 2.11 meters tall, weighs 120 kilograms, and serves as a center. he once had the experience of playing in the nba, playing for the brooklyn nets, and then went to play in european leagues such as italy, türkiye, and france. in the second half of the cba regular season last season, egbonu played for the ningbo men's basketball team. due to the late joining, he only played 10 games on behalf of the team, averaging 15.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. data is the inside core of the team.
as a pure fifth-position player, egbonu has good physical conditions and has certain defensive and basket-protecting abilities. his offense mainly relies on "eating pie" and secondary attacks under the basket. his joining will provide a reliable rotation option for the shanghai men's basketball team's inside rotation, especially the short-staffed fifth position. the sharks' local insiders, whether they are veterans wang zhelin, yan pengfei or young player liu lijia, are strong in offense and weak in defense. the arrival of egbenu can make up for the defensive problem at the basket.
with the shanghai men's basketball team finalizing egbenu, this means that all four foreign players for the new season have been released, namely waters, wilson, baron and egbenu. these four foreign players have different styles and should be able to produce good results if matched properly. specifically, waters can attack and pass, and will be the engine of the team and can activate the team's offense; while baron is a pure three-point shooter, with a three-point shooting rate of 40%, and can provide a stable outside line. firepower; power forward wilson has already appeared in the cba preseason. he can not only shoot three-pointers from the outside, but also protect the basket in the paint. he is relatively mobile; egbenu, as an inside blue-collar, can enhance the sharks' defensive thickness inside. , reducing defensive pressure on wang zhelin.
last season, the shanghai jiushi men's basketball team mainly played with two small foreign players, bledsoe and bacon, and finally achieved a regular season record of 32 wins and 20 losses, ranking 6th in the league. in the first round of the playoffs, the sharks defeated the beijing baic team to advance, but lost to the zhejiang team 2-3 in the second round and missed the semi-finals. in the new season, the sharks' local lineup is relatively stable, and they have four more foreign aids. in terms of strength, they are increasing and have a chance to hit the semi-finals. of course, in the new season, foreign aid will be played in four quarters with seven players, and each team's record will largely depend on the performance of foreign aid. among the sharks' four foreign aids, barron and wilson are both new arrivals, and their adaptability to the cba league is also to a certain extent. the extent affects the performance of the sharks.
it is understood that the sharks’ third foreign aid, balon, has arrived. jiushi basketball club is also rushing to go through the formalities for egbenu to come to china. if everything goes well, he can join the team as soon as mid-october and can catch up. the third regular season game will be played at home against tianjin on october 18.
