Super foreign players stay in the NBA! rejected the invitations of Zhu Fangyu and Liu Weiwei, and there was no hope of returning to the CBAXinjiang has recently brought in Crick, a player from the Australian league Phoenix, while Beijing has also announced the signing of Booker, a young foreign player who previously played for Shenzhen. It's the holiday season right now, and many teams are busy looking for outside reinforcements to prepare for the upcoming third phase and playoffs.
Let's take a look back at Dopp Reese, a superstar who played for Qingdao last season, and now has signed a three-year contract with the NBA's Trail Blazers. This season, Reese performed eye-catching in the Trail Blazers, playing an average of 17 minutes per game, contributing 9 points and 4 rebounds, and shooting 39% from three-point range! His previous contract was a two-way contract and lacked security, but due to his outstanding performance, the Trail Blazers decided to offer him a three-year contract.
Reese, who is 2.11 meters tall, is currently at the peak of his career at the age of 27, has all-round offensive skills, can successfully shoot three-pointers, and is very suitable for the NBA's small-ball era.
Looking back on his performance in the Qingdao team, last season, as the second foreign aid, he played an average of only 25 minutes per game, and was able to contribute 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, with extremely high efficiency, with a shooting rate of more than 50% and a three-point shooting rate of 40%. Last offseason, Qingdao head coach Liu Weiwei expressed his hope that Reece could return, and the club contacted him several times, but Reece insisted on staying in the NBA and waiting for an opportunity. However, Qingdao later signed Moultrie and Dakari Johnson, only to be cut after not playing a few games.
Recently, Guangdong Hongyuan Club fired Marshon Brooks, and general manager Zhu Fangyu revealed in the live broadcast that the NBA will carry out a wave of personnel reduction after the Spring Festival, and Reece seems to be one of the targets, and his future looks uncertain. Zhu Fangyu and Liu Weiwei are not the only ones who have contacted Reese, and many CBA teams have sent invitations to him! But now that the Trail Blazers have officially signed Reese, his return to the CBA is highly unlikely. A top-tier foreign player like Reece is in high demand, and his contract isn't too expensive. Last season, the CBA also had another very good foreign player, that is, Nanjing Tongxi's Achuer, whose style of play is very similar to Reese's, and is currently playing in the Australian NBL League.
