On the evening of December 7, Beijing Shougang team lost 74-91 to Guangdong team. The defender’s foreign aid Nick Johnson performed badly. He played for 20 minutes and only got 2 points, which was still won through free throws. Shougang team is eagerly waiting for the return of Gibson, the third foreign aid. However, I learned on the 8th that Jonathan Gibson’s work visa was still not completed and the time when he returned to the team was still uncertain.
Johnson has played 6 games for Shougang, with an average of 11 points. Johnson is a defensive and hard-working, with fengshui ball and good organizational skills, but the attack, especially the three points, is not a good foreign aid. As far as I know, Shougang did not choose Johnson at the beginning, and he was not even the top two choices of the team. Only the defenders in Shougang team couldn’t sign the foreign aid, so they chose Johnson.
However, Johnson’s characteristics and abilities are obviously far from Shougang’s need for this position. As a result, Shougang team signed the contract with former foreign aid Gibson after the end of the first phase. Gibson has played for the Shougang team in the past two seasons. He is a defender with strong offensive scoring ability. The reason why Shougang team renewed Gibson’s contract was not only his scoring ability, but also his running-in with the team, which was also one of his advantages.
But Gibson’s Rhem was not smooth. His previous work visa expired and needed to be reprocessed, but it has not been handled until now. Even if Gibson gets a work visa, he will miss many matches of Shougang team in the second stage when he leaves China and is isolated.
This is not the first time that Shougang foreign aid has encountered the situation that the work visa cannot be handled for a long time. Previously, it took Johnson three months to apply for a work visa, which directly affected his status and integration into the team.
