Condit + Nowell + Hagens, Shanxi s new foreign aid combination, Pan Jiang is under great pressure!

In the 2024~2025 season, the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team ranked second in the regular season and reached the semifinals. The performance of foreign players "indispensable". However, during the offseason, four foreign players left the team, and there was no significant reinforcement of domestic players. The lineup was greatly adjusted. Condit and Nowell have already joined the team, and Hagens is expected to join. However, the strength of the new foreign players has yet to be tested, and the pressure of Pan Jiang's coaching is coming!

In the 2024~2025 season, Shanxi successively adjusted 11 foreign players. Goodwin and Diallo, who finally stayed on the team, scored well, were organized and connected, defended well, scored efficiently, and cooperated well with their partners. They helped the team win many times at critical moments. Regular The Shanxi team ranked second in the competition and "passed all the way" to reach the semi-finals. Kyle joined the team late, but his outside shooting was accurate and he adjusted well with the team. Faye can also play a role on the defensive end. The successful selection of foreign players is the basis for progress. During the offseason, all four players left the team. Pan will go to the United States to select foreign players, but the effect is hard to say.

Condit, 25 years old, serves as a center, 2.11 meters tall. He played in the Spanish Primera Division last season, averaging 7.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. He has played in the European Cup, and his statistics are similar in all aspects. He has no experience in NBA games. He mainly plays in European courts and has played for the national team on behalf of Puerto Rico. There is limited information about him. From the video, he can be considered agile and quick in his footsteps. , Mobility is also good, the offense mainly relies on "eating pie" under the basket to score points, and the effect is not particularly stable. The defensive frame protection ability should be okay, and the role is similar to Faye last season. As a newcomer to the CBA court, Condit is "counted on" to shoulder both offense and defense. Through offense, it is estimated that he will not be able to bring stable support to the team. He also needs to adapt to the new tactical system. In the new season, there will be a lot of pressure on the inside to score, and the competition will suffer due to lack of competitiveness under the basket.

Jaylen Nowell, 26 years old, 1.93 meters tall, serves as a guard. He has played for many NBA teams such as the Timberwolves and Grizzlies. During his time with the Orleans Pelicans, he averaged 8.4 points per game. 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, shooting 35.6% from the field, and only 63.6% from the free throw line. He can be used as a "combination guard" on the court. His ball-holding ability is more stable and explosive, but his shooting rate is not stable enough and his outside shooting efficiency is poor. During his time with the Pelicans, his outside shooting rate was only 29.6%. His scoring ability is not very strong. Whether he can meet the requirements of the CBA league and truly support the team has to be observed during the game.

According to information revealed by basketball media person "Inspector Zhao", foreign aid Hegens, who played for the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team last season, is expected to join Shanxi. He averaged 7.6 points, 6.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 points per game in the regular season. The ball shooting rate is 43.2%, the outside shooting rate is 27.4%, the free throw shooting rate is 59%, the independent offensive scoring method is single, and the offensive end provides limited support to the team. Hagens's advantage lies in the accurate and timely organization and series. In the playoffs, the average points per game increased to 9.4 points, and the assists increased to 7.8 times, and 3.4 rebounds. The overall shooting rate is still not high, with only 30% three-point shooting rate and 1.2 steals. When he was in the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, Hagens was unable to stand up at critical moments due to his poor scoring ability. He was criticized by fans for how small foreign players in the CBA League must be able to handle. No matter how accurate the key ball is, one must be able to "score points" and organize the team. If he cannot lead the team to win, his role is quite limited. What changes can Hagens bring to the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team? Can he play the characteristics of precise organization and teamwork? As for when he will be able to join the team, fans still need to wait for the official announcement!

The domestic players of the Shanxi team are limited in strength. Zhang Ning is strong defensively, but is prone to "getting hot-headed." The former coach has good outside shooting efficiency, but his defense is a shortcoming and his state stability is insufficient. Hagens, the joining needs to wait for the official announcement. It is too early to draw conclusions now. The abilities and levels of Wowell and Condit need to be tested in games. The adjustment of the lineup and the re-adaptation of the tactical system also require a process. As Pan Jiang is under great coaching pressure in the new season, what kind of performance can the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team perform? What do fans think?
