Guangsha confirms that the main domestic players do not play in the AFC Champions League, 4 foreign players + young substitutes will come on the bench, imitating Liaoning team

According to the official account of the National Basketball Federation, Zhejiang Guangsha team confirmed to participate in this year's FIBA ​​Asian Basketball Champions League. Compared with the AFC Champions League in football, this event is not very popular and the attention is not very high. However, as the CBA champion, Guangsha team decided to participate and sent 4 foreign players + multiple domestic main rotation players. The team was led by assistant coach Nie Jinqiang, which was full of sincerity. The

Basketball AFC Champions League is held in June every year. This year is held in Dubai and the UAE from June 7 to 13. There are 8 teams participating, namely the Chinese CBA League champion team, the Japanese, South Korea, and the Philippines champions, the top two in the West Asian Super League, and the two advanced teams in the East Asian qualifiers. According to convention, the CBA champions in the previous three seasons were Liaoning, so they sent a team to play; this year, Guangsha won the championship, so Guangsha sent a team to play.

When the Liaoning team participated several times, domestic main players Zhao Jiwei, Han Dejun, and Zhang Zhenlin almost did not go there, and head coach Yang Ming would not participate, but instead asked the assistant coach to bring foreign players and young substitute rotation players to play. Don’t pay much attention to the results of the game, and it doesn’t matter if you win or lose. You mainly use the attitude of learning and training, which can be regarded as giving young players some opportunities to play international competitions. However, it is said that the prize money for this event is quite high. If you win the championship, you can get millions of dollars in prize money. The second, third and fourth place prize money is also very generous. Teams in the fifth to eighth place also have bonuses as long as they participate, which can at least cover travel expenses (round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation, etc.). Therefore, many clubs in other countries attach more importance to it and may temporarily sign some players who do not have a contract at the end of the NBA season to play. The same is true for this year's Guangsha team. It has been confirmed that Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, Zhu Junlong, Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Yanhao will not play. Foreign aid Barry Brown is to be determined, and it is likely that Carlton, Knight, Nonali and Wu Xiao, Lin Bingsheng, Xu Xu, Wang Xinrui, Zhao Jiayi, Xu Junwei and other players will participate. The main reason is that this competition conflicts with the time of the domestic National Games qualifiers. In June, the "Three Young Masters of Guangsha" Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao will play on behalf of the Sichuan Provincial Team, Zhu Junlong represents the Zhejiang Provincial Team, and Zhao Jiaren is also unable to play because of his injury. So the opportunity is given to young players, hoping that they can improve themselves by using competitions in international competitions.

FIBA's rules are slightly different from the CBA's rules. For example, FIBA ​​has 4 quarters and 40 minutes, 10 minutes in a single quarter, and 48 minutes in a CBA's 4 quarters and 48 minutes in a foul. There is also the issue of fouls. CBA's team starts free throws with more than 5 fouls in a single quarter, while FIBA ​​has more than 4 times; CBA players have 6 fouls in a single game and cancel their qualification for this game, while FIBA ​​has 5 times. In addition, FIBA ​​encourages physical confrontation more, but the penalty for some wrist flips, walking, and three-second defense is relatively strict; our first club cup in China adopts FIBA ​​rules, and most of the international referees introduced in the semi-finals of the playoffs are also based on the FIBA ​​standards.

Of course, there is another problem. The contract for CBA foreign players is 1 year and it will be over by the end of this season's finals. Regardless of whether they renew their contracts during the offseason, they will have to pay extra money to play in the offseason. It is not ruled out that Guangsha and Liaoning team temporarily sign several cheap foreign players to play in the game. If the AFC Champions League is appropriate, you can check and continue to retain them. If it is not suitable, the contract will be over. At present, Guangsha has announced the priority renewal rights for Brown and Carlton, but the two foreign players have left the team and returned to the United States and have not yet promised to renew the contract. Therefore, it can be predicted that this Guangsha team may be just the level of Guangsha team's second team, and we cannot ask too much about the results.
