Sports Premiere Creation Challenge
The second phase of the CBA has officially begun, and compared with the first phase, the league has a number of new foreign players joining, but judging from the performance of the first game day, there are two super foreign players whose performances are shocking, and all of them are from the NBA.
Zhejiang men's basketball foreign aid Carrick Jones
Carrick Jones' debut in the Zhejiang men's basketball team was very disappointing, facing the Shandong men's basketball team, Jones was the team's three foreign aid ** with the most playing time, but the performance on the court was very bad. Jones played 27 minutes, shooting only 3-of-11 from the field, scoring only 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and steals, and the team lost 5 points. As a super foreign player, Jones not only did not show aggressiveness on the offensive end, but also had a mediocre playmaking end, and it was difficult not to question such a sluggish performance.
As the MVP of the NBA Development League and the World Cup assist king, Jones has the ability to average 20+10 per game in the CBA, but judging from the first game, Jones still did not adapt well to the CBA's strong teams, and still needs to find his form through more games. Compared with Guangdong Hongyuan's small foreign aid Waters, Jones was indeed slow to enter the game, perhaps because the training time was too short, Jones did not show the expected dominance.
Shanghai men's basketball foreign aid Dwyane Bacon
Shanghai men's basketball forward Bacon debut was also a mess, facing Nanjing Tongxi, Bacon played 15 minutes, only 2 of 12 shots in the game, and the shooting rate was only 167%, 1 of 6 three-pointers, only 5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the game, and lost by 9 points to the opponent. Before Bacon officially joined the Shanghai men's basketball team, the outside world was very optimistic about this super foreign aid, after all, he had played in the NBA, and at his peak, he averaged 11+3 data per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 40%. But judging from his debut performance, Bacon's physical condition is not ideal, the tacit understanding between teammates is not enough, and the ability to solve the game is also very average, and he does not show the strength of a super scorer.
After the game, Liu Peng, the head coach of the Shanghai men's basketball team, strongly supported Bacon, saying that Bacon's attack power was not shown, and he believed that it would be better adjusted later.
Many super foreign players have played well in the NBA and European arenas, but after landing on the CBA arena, they were beaten back to their original shape, hoping that Bacon and Jones, the two super foreign aids, will not disappoint the fans, and can prove themselves again in the later games, and break the doubts of the outside world with practical actions.
