In the past CBA season, if we don’t count Zhou Yixiang and Lin Wickham who left midway, the only Baodao players who have completed their CBA games are Chen Yingjun and Liu Zheng. In the past two years, after Baodao Taiwan joined the T1 and P+ leagues, in terms of player salaries and benefits, it has indeed been able to attract more "homecoming waves" of Baodao players than before. For example, "LeBron LeBron" Zhou Yixiang, who was unable to play in Shougang this season, received a salary of up to 2 million yuan after joining the Kaohsiung Steelers of the P+ League.
In fact, as early as last season, many Baodao players had left the CBA and returned to their hometown to play. Hu Longmao, a defensive hero who once played for Fujian and Guangzhou, said in a recent interview with Taiwanese media that Fujian In fact, he had already talked about renewing his contract, and other CBA teams have also expressed interest in him. However, due to the epidemic, Hu Longmao has not been home for nearly two years. In addition, he really misses his hometown very much, and Taiwan Basketball It has also developed well in recent years, so Hu Longmao also decided to leave the CBA, returned to the newly established T1 League in Taiwan, and joined the Kaohsiung Poseidon Club.
As the No. 8 pick in the first round of the 2016 CBA, although he is only 1.95 meters tall, Hu Longmao relied on his full hard work and strong defense to gain a foothold in the CBA. In his rookie season, Hu Longmao In only 13.1 minutes of playing time, he was able to contribute an average of 6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, with a shooting percentage of 48.4%. As a gateway to defend the opponent's key foreign players, Hu Longmao is indeed loved by every CBA team. That kind of important piece of the puzzle. The following season, he was loaned to Guangzhou by Fujian and reached the first playoffs of his career with the team. At that time, he improved his statistics to 10.5 points, 2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in the playoffs. , can be said to be the front gate that Guangzhou relies on most.
After the short trip to Guangzhou, Hu Longmao also returned to Fujian to continue playing. In the past few seasons, he has also fully demonstrated his 3D attributes. In addition, he is not good at three-pointers. In the 19-20 season, it once improved to a career-best 40.6%. Even in the last year before leaving the CBA last season, he still had an above-average 36.4%. This time he returned to Taiwan and joined the Kaohsiung Poseidons. Hu Longmao also carried out a "dimension reduction attack." In 27 games for the team, he averaged 14.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. All-round statistics, leading the team in domestic scoring.
However, for the 29-year-old Hu Longmao, it is basically impossible to return to the CBA in the future. After all, if it is not the maximum salary, the salary Hu Longmao gets in the Taiwan League is definitely not worse than the CBA ( His salary this season is about 1.7-2 million yuan). When there is not much difference in the salary given, why should Hu Longmao bother to stay away from his hometown and travel far and wide to come to the CBA? After all, in addition to competitive level, salary and family are also the main factors that professional players need to consider.
