the second phase of the cba preseason ended on october 5. the qingdao men's basketball team, which competed in the yulin division of shaanxi province, met the shanghai men's basketball team in the final match. since the two teams will meet in the second round of the regular season, the two teams will compete with substitute lineups for most of this preseason. in the end, the qingdao men's basketball team lost to its opponents 75:79, ending all preseason competition with a record of 2 wins and 4 losses. next, the qingdao men's basketball team will return to their home court to prepare for the new season, and they have recently signed fourth foreign aid quindally weatherspoon, which gives fans more expectations for their performance in the new season.

in the last game of the preseason, the qingdao men's basketball team met the shanghai men's basketball team. the two teams played with their main players in the first half of the game, and young players were deployed in the final quarter. because the two teams will meet in the second round of the new season, neither team is willing to show their "trunk cards." in the end, the shanghai men's basketball team won with a 4-point advantage, while the qingdao men's basketball team fully trained the team. in the whole game, yang hansen, who played 13 minutes as a substitute, scored 7 points and 4 rebounds. wang ruize scored 15 points. lu junhu scored 10 points. guo qifang and cheng wangfan also performed well.

throughout the two stages of preseason, the qingdao men's basketball team achieved two wins and four losses. the overall performance of domestic players was good, but the two foreign players gibson and mitchell were still in average condition. under such circumstances, the qingdao men's basketball team rushed to sign foreign aid quindally weatherspoon, who played in the guangsha men's basketball team last season before the start of the new season. this backcourt player with good offensive ability is expected to become an important force for the qingdao men's basketball team in the new season.

weatherspoon played for guangsha last season, averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.4 steals in 18.8 minutes per game. behind this series of numbers is his balanced performance on both offense and defense and his control of the game. the previous season, weatherspoon played in the tianjin men's basketball team, which was also his first season in china.

weatherspoon has nba experience. he has played for the warriors, spurs and other teams. his scoring ability is relatively outstanding. not only does he have the ability to shoot from the outside, but he can also score inside with his excellent breakthrough skills. the reason why the qingdao men's basketball team chose him is because he has many scoring methods on the offensive end and can stand up and shoulder the scoring burden at critical moments. on the defensive end, his active fighting and good defensive awareness also make him an important member of the team's defensive system.

previously, the qingdao men's basketball team has signed two new players, gibson and mitchell, and renewed the contract of young foreign player powell, who played with the team last season. however, judging from his performance in the preseason, the newly signed backcourt foreign aid gibson performed generally, especially because he is relatively thin. the signing of weatherspoon this time is probably because he is worried that after the start of the new season, if gibson cannot adapt to the high-intensity competition in the league, weatherspon, who has proven himself in the league, can quickly take over.

the first game of the new season of the qingdao men's basketball team will be held on the evening of october 14th, when they will face the guangzhou men's basketball team at the guosen stadium at home. in the second round, the qingdao men's basketball team will challenge the shanghai men's basketball team away from home.
