Big deal! European basketball reporter: Shanxi team completed signing with the 25-year-old NBA shooting guard

Recently, according to European basketball reporter Emiliano Carchia, the CBA powerhouse Shanxi team made another effort in the offseason and successfully signed former NBA player Jaylen Norwell. The 25-year-old shooting guard will inject new vitality and strength into the Shanxi team and help the team strive for the CBA championship.

Last season, Shanxi team spared no effort in recruiting and tried out 11 foreign players. This effort was rewarded in the end. In the playoff quarterfinals, the team swept the traditional strong team Guangdong team with an amazing score of 3-0 and advanced to the semi-finals. Although it lost to Beijing in the semi-finals, Shanxi still tied the best record in team history and showed strong competitiveness and potential.

However, Shanxi's goal is far more than that, and the team's ultimate dream is to win the CBA championship trophy. In order to achieve this grand goal, in the just-start offseason, Shanxi team actively operated in the domestic and foreign aid markets, striving to further enhance the team's strength. The signing of Jaylen Norwell this time is an important step taken by Shanxi team on the road to winning the championship.

Jeren Norwell was born in 1999 and was 1.93 meters tall, playing as a shooting guard on the court. In 2019, he embarked on the NBA draft stage and was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 43rd pick in the first round, thus starting his NBA career. In the NBA field, Nowell has played for too many teams and has accumulated rich game experience.

Last season, he played for the New Orleans Pelicans and despite limited plays, he averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game during his limited playing time. However, judging from the data, his shooting percentage is indeed not ideal, with his overall shooting percentage being only 35.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage being less than 30%, which has also affected his chances of playing in the NBA to a certain extent.

However, it should be pointed out that there are significant differences between the CBA and the NBA in terms of game style, intensity of confrontation, and defensive strategies. Players who are not satisfied with the NBA are often able to shine after coming to the CBA. With Nowell's physical and technical ability, he has the potential to make a new world in the CBA field. His scoring ability and game experience will undoubtedly bring a qualitative improvement to the Shanxi team's backcourt strength.

Judging from the tactical system of Shanxi team, Nowier's joining is just right. Last season, Shanxi team had strong offensive firepower and ranked among the top in the league in scoring per game, but in some key games, the team's scoring ability and outside stability at critical moments still need to be improved. Nowell has excellent personal offensive abilities, and he has his own skills whether it is breakthrough, mid-range shooting or three-point shooting. His arrival will further enrich Shanxi's offensive methods and provide the team with more scoring options at critical moments. At the same time, the game experience he has accumulated in the NBA will also help him read the game situation better and create more offensive opportunities for his teammates.

In addition, Shanxi's recruitment work during the offseason did not stop there. In terms of domestic aid, the team is also actively contacting some outstanding domestic players, striving to further optimize the lineup in various positions. It is understood that Shanxi team intends to introduce a strong inside player to enhance the team's defense and rebounding ability in the inside. At the same time, the team is also paying attention to some young and potential domestic players, hoping to inject fresh blood into the team through their joining and enhance the overall strength and vitality of the team.

For Shanxi fans, Nowier's joining is undoubtedly a huge surprise. In the new season, fans are expected to see a more powerful and fierce offensive firepower on the field. With the help of new players such as Nowell, Shanxi's dream of rushing to the CBA championship may not be far away.

In the new season of the CBA League, all teams are preparing for the battle. Shanxi team demonstrated its determination and strength to strive for the championship through a series of signings such as Jaylen Norwell. How far can Shanxi team go in the journey of the new season? Let's wait and see!
