The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily learned on the 9th that Cook, a defender who once won the NBA championship, had joined the Zhejiang Guangsha team. If all goes well, the team will register for him in the near future and play in the second stage. Cook’s joining helps to strengthen the rotation and offensive fire of Guangsha team.
Guangsha team once had defender foreign aid Cummings in the first stage, but unfortunately, Cummings broke his hand in the first game of the first stage. Since then, Cummings returned to the United States for surgical treatment. Up to now, he is still in the process of recovering from injury and has not returned to Guangsha team. Under such circumstances, Guangsha team quickly transferred again, and they signed the former NBA defender Cook. Cook is 29 years old and serves as a defender. He has played for Lone Ranger, Pelican, warrior, Lakers, Knights, blazers and Kings in NBA. Cook played 188 NBA regular season games with an average of 14.1 minutes, scoring 6.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He won the championship with the Warriors and Lakers in 2018 and 2020 respectively. Cook’s experience and ability are very good. However, considering that this is his first time playing CBA and meeting the team in the middle of the season, whether he can quickly adapt to the confrontation and environment of CBA and integrate with the team as soon as possible, currently, no accurate judgment can be given. According to the Beijing Youth Daily, Cook has completed the immigration isolation and the three-day and three-day inspection of Zhuji. He has joined the Guangsha team on the 9th and invested in some training. Cook’s joining will be a strengthening for Guangsha team’s backcourt.
Considering that Sun Minghui, the main guard of Guangsha team, is seriously injured, Cook’s arrival will give Sun Minghui more rest and adjustment time to some extent. At the same time, Cook can also allow Guangsha team to have more personnel to change and have continuous offensive fire in the back court.
