recently CBA officially entered the off-season. Next, the major players will prepare for the battle first, and will usher in the second stage of the game on December 12. During this offseason, very heavy news came from basketball at home and abroad.
has been rumored to join the Taiwan T1 League's NBA superstar Howard , and recently officially announced the official announcement of the Taoyuan Cloud Leopards joining the T1 League. Next, he will fly directly to Taiwan, China. On November 12, he will hold a local press conference to introduce himself to the team. With Howard's confirmation to join this China Taiwan League, many fans are undoubtedly very crazy, and they want to know the origin of this league, and the strength of the team Howard joined, and what can he play here? What kind of games and results?
first briefly introduce the more famous leagues in Taiwan, China. Maybe you often hear about the P-League. This league is very powerful, and it is very advanced in all aspects from the inside to the outside. It is a relatively high-level basketball league in Taiwan, China. In contrast, the T1 league is relatively simple, and the number of teams is very limited. According to the latest official website information, the T1 league will be established in 2021. In the new season, six teams including Taoyuan Cloud Leopard, Taichung Sun, and Tainan Falcons will be formed. Team composition. This means that the next season's games will be among these six teams to determine the final champion.
And the Taoyuan Clouded Leopard, which Howard joined this time, can be said to be the worst among the six teams here, and the level is average. Last season's result was 8 wins and 22 losses, ranking second from last among all teams. This kind of strength is indeed a bit of a stretch. No wonder some fans joked that the overall strength level is really average, just like the grass-stage team, they can't feel the professional ability and level.
Since the level of the entire league, including the team's ability, is average, why would a superstar like Howard come to play in such a low-level league? Why not choose to come to mainland China to participate in the CBA league ?
looked back at Howard's performance in the Lakers last season. He averaged 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game in 60 games. Although this kind of data is completely incomparable when compared to the peak, but normally with such scoring ability, it should not be difficult to find a job in the NBA. It's just a pity that the veteran is late. Even if he can still play, other teams don't give him a chance at all. This has also caused him to have been unable to find a job for a long time now. In desperation, on the one hand, he has to support his family, and on the other hand, he hopes that his career will not be wasted. In the end, Howard chose to play in the T1 league in Taiwan, China.
Of course some fans are very interested, why can't he be invited to play with the strength of CBA? Regarding this point, it is estimated that only the parties involved and the teams he has been in contact with know. After all, the current domestic league's tournament system arrangement is not acceptable to all foreign players. Beasley who left Shanghai talked about this before.
However, since Howard chose to go to Taiwan this time, it means that his hope of coming to the mainland to play is a step closer, so you can look forward to it.
