Zhejiang Guangsha and Sichuan Jinqiang Reach Agreement: Loan Out Li Jinxiao in Exchange for the No. 4 Pick in This Year’s Draft

Today, according to domestic sports insider @Zhao Tanchang’s report, Zhejiang Guangsha and Sichuan Jinqiang have reached an agreement.

The report details are as follows:

According to Tanchang’s understanding, Zhejiang Guangsha has reached an agreement with Sichuan Jinqiang, loaning out center Li Jinxiao in exchange for the No. 4 pick in this year’s CBA draft. Zhejiang Guangsha Men’s Basketball Team is expected to select a guard with strong immediate playing ability at the draft.

Tanchang’s personal interpretation of this is: Guangsha Men’s Basketball Team is confident in retaining Sun Minghui and this move is aimed at finding him a qualified substitute.

As is well known, the capabilities of rotation players and foreign players have been key factors affecting Guangsha’s season performance. In previous seasons, it was precisely due to insufficient capabilities in these two areas that led to overexertion and subsequent injuries among the starting players. Guangsha’s proactive and targeted reinforcement this time is a commendable move. However, at the same time, with Wang Qingming leaving the team and Li Jinxiao being loaned out, they should have other moves planned for the power forward position.

Zhejiang Guangsha has made it to the CBA Finals twice in their history but fell short of the ultimate honor both times. If they can successfully renew contracts with Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, and Zhao Yanhao during this offseason, they should cherish these players’ peak years and unite to make a championship push.
