Lock in Wells! Yang Ming inspects NBA All-Star Defense on the spot

The rights to renew the contract for Liaoning Basketball Team have been settled. According to well-known media directors, only one foreign player who played for the team last season, Fergu, Wells, Webber and Oliver, has won the priority contract renewal from Liaoning team. He is Wells, who performed well and has a very cost-effective price-performance. This also means that Ferg, Weber and Oliver parted ways with Liaoning Basketball Team. In fact, it was also expected that many fans would stay. With averaging 20+ points per game and a salary of about 500,000 US dollars, Wells, who perfectly integrates into the Liaoning team, will continue to compete in the CBA next season in the Liaoning Basketball jersey.

As we all know, during the offseason, the key task of each team is to select and introduce excellent foreign players that suit them. Of course, the Liaoning team will not be an exception. To renew the contract with Wells, we must continue to find at least two powerful foreign players. Liaoning Basketball General Manager Liu Ziqing and head coach Yang Ming, who are watching the NBA Summer League in Beautiful Country, have made new progress in the recruitment work. On July 15, Ugo accompanied them to watch a training session of an NBA All-Star player close-up and had substantial contact with the former No. 2 show.

The NBA star is Oladipo, an American double-acting guard who is 1.91 meters tall.

Oladipo's second-tier pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, after being selected by the Orlando Magic, although he is very talented, due to the team's playing style and tactical status, Oladipo's performance can only be described as being average and well-behaved. The turning point of his career was that after being traded to the Pacers in the 2017-2018 season, Oladipo ushered in a full-scale explosion.

In the season, Oladipo averaged stats, 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.3 steals, which can be said to be very outstanding. He also won the title of Stealer King of the Season and the Fastest Player, and was officially selected to enter the first team of defense and the third team of best player. That season, Oladipo scored 47 points and 7 rebounds in a single game, and his condition reached its peak. He deserved to be the new core of the Pacers.

However, in the next few seasons, Oladipo suffered two major injuries, first in 2019, when he tore his right knee tendon during the game, and his condition began to decline after he recovered. After being traded to the Rockets in the 2020-2021 season, he ushered in the second spring of his career. Unfortunately, in 2023, Oladipo was injured again, this time with a tear of patellar tendon on his left knee. Two major injuries made him say goodbye to NBA temporarily and have to undergo thorough surgical treatment. Oladipo, who recovered from injury in 2025, became a free agent, but judging from the current situation, it is difficult for him to return to the NBA.

But the All-Star guard did not give up his dream of basketball and worked hard to keep his condition after he recovered. Oladipo himself also expressed his willingness to come to CBA to play, and said that his body and condition have completely recovered and there is no problem playing in the professional league.

Judging from the situation of the Liaoning team, Oladipo's ability can replace the meritorious foreign aid Fergus. At the same time, he is also a defensive player, suitable for the Liaoning Basketball system. However, injuries are a hidden danger of the heavy introduction of Oladipo, and the Liaoning Basketball Management needs to carefully evaluate it. Overall, if Oladipo is in good health, the Liaoning team can introduce this super foreign player that is loved by fans, and also hopes that the "Audi double-diamond sports car" will shine in CBA Liaoning Basketball!
