Due to the accidental injury of Franklin Xiaowai in the previous battle with Beijing Shougang, although he did not suffer serious injuries enough to be reimbursed for the season, he still had to be absent for nearly two months. After the core of the team fell, the Shanxi Men’s Basketball Team had to rely on the weak and defensive Dawai Morand as the main player, but after all, the latter’s scoring ability was limited. A small foreigner with a strong attacking ability. In view of Franklin's current injury, the Shanxi Men's Basketball team had to choose to sign the team's third foreign player, Ledo, who once played for Beijing Control. At that time, the coach of Beijing Enterprises was also the guidance of Ding Wei, who is now in charge of the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team.
The 28-year-old Ledo was selected by the Bucks with the 43rd overall pick in the second round of the 2013 NBA Draft, but was subsequently traded to the Mavericks. And Ledo, who really played a little bit well, still joined the Knicks in the 2014-2015 season. He played 12 games for the team that year, averaging 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. His performance was remarkable. But after the end of the season, the Knicks did not choose to renew their contract, so Ledo was also unemployed in the NBA, so he had to go to overseas leagues to make a living.
In the 2018-2019 season, Ledo played in 15 games for the team as a replacement for Jackson outside Beijing. He played 40.3 minutes and could get 32.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.2 steals. In the battle with Tianjin, he played a career-best quasi-triple-double of 54 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists. At that time, Beikong, which was extremely short of manpower, Ledo could be said to be the absolute thigh under the account of Head Ding. This season, Shanxi signed the former big killer of Beijing Enterprises, and it can be seen that the team still wants to fight this season. However, Ledo has been away from the CBA stage for more than two years. Now that he returned to the CBA, he failed to make his debut for the new club this season.
In the match against the Qingdao men's basketball team, which did not have strong outside Adams, Ledo played 28 minutes and made 21 crazy shots, but only hit 7 goals, and only 3 of 10 from the three-point line. Scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. Based on this performance, Ledo wants to make up for Franklin’s triple-double per game.It is indeed a far cry. This season, Franklin averaged 28.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, and made 41.8% of his 3-pointers. Before Franklin was injured, his superior outside firepower and ability to organize and connect were definitely the main reasons why Shanxi could still rank among the top twelve in the league after firing Wang Fei.
However, in the 14 games he missed, Shanxi has only achieved a record of 4 wins and 10 losses, and his record has fallen to 15th in the league. This time, Shanxi's emergency medical treatment is also a helpless move. Compared with Tianjin, Tong Xi can only use field foreign aid. It is quite good to be able to sign a foreigner with a CBA resume. However, Ledo's organizing ability and outside shooting are precisely his weaknesses. At the beginning, he made only 29% of his three-pointers and only 5.6 assists per game. As a player with a playing time of up to 40 minutes, this assist ability can only be considered barely passing. If he wants to perfectly replace Franklin's commander position, Ledo still has a long way to go.
But the good news for the Shanxi men's basketball team is that Franklin has returned from the Shanghai Rehabilitation Center to the Zhuji Division not long ago. But given that the injury has yet to recover slowly, I believe the team will not let him come back hastily. And Ledo will have to continue to prove himself in the next few games, even if he can't stay in Shanxi in the future, playing a beautiful data will make it easier for him to find a home in the CBA.
