After Guangsha announced the termination of the contract with Oliver, many fans complained, wondering why Guangsha fired such an excellent foreign aid? Sure enough, in the first game after losing Oliver, Guangsha lost to North Control by 26 points, and the inside line was blown up. Fans have left messages in the official comment area of Guangsha to satirize the management's self-confidence, in order to express their dissatisfaction.
This season, Guangsha has signed a total of 3 foreign players, namely Okafor, Wharton and Oliver, among which is the best performance. Oliver played in 24 regular season games for the Cantons, averaging 12.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1 block per game.
Oliver has few weaknesses other than a bit rough on the ball. He can change the defense on the defensive end, has good ability to assist in defense and blocking, and his physical fitness is strong, blocking and eating cakes are first-class, and he can also shoot three points, and he is becoming more and more familiar with Sun Minghui's cooperation. Sun Minghui threw the ball to the basket, and Oliver was able to steadily pour the ball into the basket.
Why did Guangsha give up Oliver? Guangsha officials did not explain the reason, but simply issued an announcement to officially terminate the contract with Oliver, and the outside world did not know the reason.
Yesterday, Oliver responded to the news of his departure on social media, but he did not promote the specifics of this. "One of the most wonderful experiences, thanks to China. Oliver wrote, accompanied by a lion's head emoji of the building.
Oliver was given up by Guangsha, and it is estimated that he can get some liquidated damages, otherwise he would not say thank you. I have to say that Guangsha is still very generous.
Oliver's performance conquered the Guangsha fans, and he was present, especially with Sun Minghui's blocking and dismantling cooperation, which was a perfect match and played a smooth offense. And Oliver plays energetically, can infect his teammates, and boost the morale of the team, and his departure is a pity.
As a professional club, it is impossible for Guangsha not to know the value of Oliver, but in the end he terminated his contract. There are two reasons for this:
1. There is a better place to go. Oliver has a better place to go, and there was such an agreement in the contract he signed with Guangsha before, and Guangsha had to release him.
2. Personality reasons. Although Oliver has good ability on the field, he can be grumpy and disobedient off the field. If that's the case, even if Oliver's ability is outstanding, Guangsha won't want such a problem player.
If it weren't for the above two reasons, Guangsha would definitely not give up such an Oliver, and it would have to take time to find foreign aid. Moreover, Okafor and Wharton are obviously inferior to Oliver, so why did Guangsha stay with Okafor and Wharton? This is very revealing.
Although Oliver was cut, his market value is there, and it is believed that other CBA teams will consider bringing him in next season.
