Guangsha Team s AFC lineup is confirmed, with 3 foreign players + 1 veterans leading; Carlton joins the Hong Kong Taurus team

Recently, Zhejiang Guangsha team officially announced the list of players participating in the AFC Champions League. The lineup of this competition is led by 3 foreign players + 1 veteran, mainly young players in China, with a total of 11 players participating. The head coach is Nie Jinqiang, assistant coach of Guangsha team. Why are there only 3 foreign players participating? Because according to news, Guangsha's big foreign aid has joined the NBL Hong Kong Taurus team, and will represent the Taurus in the NBL game next, and there may be conflicts in time, so I didn't go.

According to the announced list of Zhejiang Guangsha teams, the head coach of this team participating in the AFC Champions League is Nie Jinqiang, and the assistant/coaches are Li Shengyang and Li Yang. The players include three foreign players, Barry Brown, Knight, and Nonali, and eight domestic players, Xu Zhonghao, Wang Xinrui, Duan Liqian, Xu Junwei, Zhao Jiayi, Laike, Li Zebang and Cai Shulinsen. Judging from the lineup, Guangsha’s lineup is definitely not bad. Although Hu Jinqiu and several other domestic main players did not participate, they are not at the bottom. Whether in the group stage or the final stage, Guangsha has the hope and possibility of winning 1-2 games.

The basketball AFC Champions League in the past few years was participated by the CBA champion Liaoning team. Although there were no other competition tasks during the offseason, they still had the main players such as Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, and Han Dejun, but only let the young rotation players go, and even foreign players were temporarily signed. This year, players such as Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, Zhu Junlong, Zhao Yanhao and Wu Xiao of Guangsha team failed to participate in the National Games match mission, but MVP Brown led the team to participate in the finals, foreign aid Knight and Nonnali also went with the team, and domestic veteran Xu Zhonghao played with the team. Guangsha team gave a lot of sincerity, which also shows the importance of the event.

Xu Junwei and several young domestic players don't play much in the regular season, and they rarely have the chance to play in the playoffs. This time they come to the AFC Champions League, and head coach Nie Jinqiang will also give them more opportunities. If you can perform well in the AFC Champions League, the regular season will definitely increase your playing time next season, and you will be guaranteed to play time in the future when entering the main rotation, so this is a very good opportunity.

According to media person chnhoops, Guangsha's foreign aid Joshua Carlton has confirmed to join the NBL Hong Kong Taurus. Last summer, Carlton played for the Hong Kong Taurus and helped the Taurus win the championship in September, and then joined Zhejiang Guangsha. This summer, Carlton joined the Hong Kong Taurus again after helping Guangsha win the championship, aiming to help the Taurus achieve the NBL championship for two consecutive times, but teammates Liu Chuanxing and Zhu Songwei, who also played for the Hong Kong Taurus last summer, will not go back.

Last season, Carlton played 41 regular season games with Guangsha, averaging 10.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 55.4%; in 14 games in the playoffs, Carlton averaged 10.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 57.1%. As the inside pillar of Guangsha team, Carlton played better and better in the playoffs and became more skilled in the cooperation with the team. In key games, he is more trustworthy than Knight.

End last season, Guangsha announced on the second day of winning the championship that it would exercise priority renewal rights against Barry Brown and Carlton, which shows that Guangsha's management and coaching staff have recognized the importance of Carlton. Determining foreign players early and ensuring the stability of the main lineup will be of great benefit to Guangsha team continuing to win the championship next season. NBL games and CBA games do not conflict with each other. Generally, NBL games can be completed during the CBA offseason. Foreign players switch between two leagues, and it is also common for them to play two jobs. Judging from the current situation, it is entirely possible for Carlton to return to the CBA Guangsha team after playing the NBL League game. He will be one of the inside pillars of Guangsha team next season.
