At the end of the game, Darius Adams, the foreign aid of Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, was so excited that he hid his face and cried. Undoubtedly, he contributed 37 points, 7 steals and 6 assists, and was the first person to be officially crowned the Xinjiang men's basketball team.
Xinjiang men's basketball team, which has always been famous for its deep pockets, has always been a big spender in signing. However, last summer, the club changed its old style and signed Darius Adams with an annual salary of $654.38+$5,000.
At that time, many people were not optimistic about the signing of the Xinjiang men's basketball team. However, it was this signing that helped Xinjiang make great strides this season and finally lifted the CBA championship trophy historically.
Adams' performance was impeccable. After leading the team to win the championship, he also received the MVP trophy in the finals.
It is worth mentioning that many teams have invested heavily in introducing foreign aid this season. One of the most typical representatives is Shandong high-speed men's basketball team. Before the start of this season, the team management gave up the meritorious foreign aid Jeter and spent a lot of money to introduce Norris Cole. According to media reports, the Shandong men's basketball team offered Cole an annual salary of 5 million dollars, which is the most expensive foreign aid in CBA.
However, Cole, who joined Shanda with the aura of James J.S.Wong bodyguard, showed disappointing performance and failed to show the expected strength. On 20 16 12, Shandong men's basketball team announced that it had terminated its contract with Cole.
Compared with Cole, who has an NBA championship ring, Adams' resume is a bit shabby.
In the summer NBA draft of 20 1 1, Norris Cole was selected by Chicago Bulls with the 28th overall pick in the first round, and finally traded to Miami Heat through Minnesota Timberwolves. Adams also took part in the draft that year, but in the end no one cared and became a loser in the draft.
After that, Cole played well in the NBA, but Adams never had a chance to play in the NBA and had to play in many countries in the United States and Europe.
However, this season, they joined CBA at the same time, but their performances were quite different-Cole's greatest contribution was to "force" foreign aid, while Adams helped Xinjiang win the championship.
Perhaps, many CBA teams such as Shandong Men's Basketball Team can get some lessons and experiences from it.
