CBA New Season Preview: Beikong Team – Continuous Heavyweight Additions to the Frontcourt, Min Lurei Aiming for the Playoffs

The new season of the CBA is about to begin. Today, let me introduce you to the CBA team – Beikong Men’s Basketball.

A review of last season: After many years, Min Lurei returned to coach a CBA team. The spirit and appearance of Beikong Men’s Basketball underwent significant changes. Last season, with Feld, Liao Sannin, and Zhang Fan as the backcourt core, Zou Yuchen delivered All-Star level performance impact. Beikong Men’s Basketball finished ninth in the standings with a record of 29 wins and 23 losses in the regular season. However, due to the early departure and injury of foreign players, the lineup was not particularly complete when facing Shenzhen Men’s Basketball in the playoffs, ultimately being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

Team changes during the off-season:

After introducing Shen Zijun, Beikong Men’s Basketball further activated the frontcourt vitality by loaning Wang Shaojie to Guangdong. The domestic tough player led by Zou Yuchen successfully renewed his contract. In terms of forwards, former Sichuan Men’s Basketball forward Zhu Songwei was introduced. With a more balanced domestic player lineup, the overall combat effectiveness has risen to a higher level.

New season outlook:

The lineup of Beikong Men’s Basketball in the new season will not be inferior to most playoff teams. However, with the adjustment of foreign player rules, the addition of top-tier foreign players like Salingger will certainly require adjustments to the lineup framework and tactics. It will be a great test of Min Lurei’s coaching ability to form a combat-effective team within a short period of time. If all aspects are well integrated, Beikong is expected to showcase very strong strength in the regular season.

In terms of foreign players, Beikong Men’s Basketball released Feld and Sampson, retained Rile on the basis, and introduced Treles who played for Xinjiang Men’s Basketball last season, as well as Salingger, the big foreign player who played for Shenzhen Men’s Basketball last season. This set of foreign player system covers various needs, especially Salingger, who was the best foreign player last season. With his physical condition maintained at a sufficient level of health, he possesses the possibility of creating advantages independently considering the intensity of the CBA league.

Due to the change in foreign player rules, the new season adopts 7 foreign player appearances over 4 quarters. Beikong retains two foreign players on the court in the first three quarters, giving their domestic frontcourt players a significant advantage in the fourth quarter.

Predicted starting lineup:

Salingger, Treles, Liao Sannin, Zhu Songwei, Zou Yuchen;

Predicted regular season ranking:

Top six in the standings.
