On the evening of 1 on the evening of 0 Beijing time, the CBA playoffs 0 into 0 ushered in a focus battle Beijing Derby. After four quarters of fierce competition, the Beijing men's basketball team defeated the opponent 0-0, and eliminated Beijing Control with a total score of 0-0 and successfully advanced. In this way, Beijing and Shanxi will meet in the semifinals, while Liao Basket still needs to wait for the winner of Guangsha and Qingdao men's basketball.
This season, Liao Basket won 0 consecutive wins in the regular season, and swept the Xinjiang men's basketball team 0-0 in the playoffs, the team has a good record, in addition to the credit of the coaching staff, the players are also indispensable, Zhao Jiwei, Han Dejun, Li Xiaoxu, Fogg, Oliver, etc. are the key factors for the team to achieve good results.
Wells, a new signing, is undoubtedly a "dark horse" this season and has quickly become an indispensable presence for the team. The author believes that whether a foreign player can truly integrate into the team depends not only on his personal data, but also on his role in promoting the team's overall tactics on the field and his performance at key moments. Wells has proved his worth with practical actions, and has become a "thigh-level" figure in Liao Basket's foreign aid, and Yang Ming chose to keep him, with many thoughtful considerations behind it.
首先，从经济层面来看，“物美价廉”是威尔斯最大的优势之一。当下CBA外援工资帽为425万美金，弗格的年薪大概率在220-240万美金左右，随着合同年限增长还会逐年上浮。与之相比，威尔斯底薪仅35万美金，加上赢球奖也不过50万美金左右。在如今的CBA外援市场，这样的薪资水平堪称“性价比之王”。笔者认为，对于俱乐部而言，在保证球队竞争力的同时，合理控制薪资成本至关重要。威尔斯以较低的薪资却能打出高效表现，无疑为辽篮节省了大量资金，这些资金可以用于补强其他位置，或是为球队未来发展做储备，这也是杨鸣看重他的重要原因。
Secondly, from the perspective of the team's long-term development, Fogg's departure seems to be a foregone conclusion. 35-year-old Fogg, although he has made great achievements for Liao Basket, but the high-salary contract and the constant injuries have made his impact and competitiveness much less than before. Looking back at the history of the CBA, even legendary foreign players like Hudson will inevitably leave the team later in his career. The author believes that professional sports are so cruel that teams must look to the future. Wells is undoubtedly the best candidate to succeed Fergus, who is young and has strong individual qualities to seamlessly fill the void left by Fergus and ensure that the strength of the squad does not decline significantly due to the departure of key foreign players.
Moreover, Wells' own performance is impressive. At the age of 44, he averaged 0.0 minutes per game this season, contributing 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0.0 steals and 0.0 blocks, shooting 0% from three-point range and 0.0% from the field. Such data is very eye-catching in the foreign aid of the entire league. Compared with Fogg, Wells has more offensive means, not only can break through the inside to score, but also the outside three-point is his forte, and the 0% three-point shooting rate effectively relieves the pressure of shooters such as Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin. On the defensive end, he is also unequivocal, with a positive defensive attitude and excellent defensive awareness, building a solid defensive line for Liao Basket. More importantly, his previous experience in the Guangsha men's basketball team has proven his ability to adapt to the CBA league. The author believes that such a comprehensive and efficient foreign aid is the key puzzle piece on the road to the championship of Liao Basket.
Based on the above three points, there is almost no suspense for Yang Ming to renew his contract with Wells this summer, and Fogg is likely to leave the team. For Liao Basket, this is an important decision related to the future development of the team. In the next games, whether Wells can continue to maintain excellent form and help Liao Basket go further in the playoffs is worth looking forward to for all fans.
