CBA Rankings Change! Shandong Rises to 2nd, Two Strong Teams Start to Drop the Ball, Guangdong Could Enter Top 4 On January 22nd, Beijing time, with the conclusion of all matches in the 34th round of the CBA, a significant change has occurred in the latest rankings. Among them, Shandong Team, who defeated Ningbo Team 112-102 at home, once again surpassed Shanxi Team and returned to second place. The victory in this match for Shandong Team was quite interesting, as the three foreign players from Ningbo Team combined for a total of 88 points, while the remaining domestic players only scored 14 points. It can be seen that this match for Shandong Team was more like a contest against pure foreign players. Among them, Ningbo's foreign player Ma Qi personally scored an astonishing 60 points, becoming the first player in the CBA this season to score over 60 points. However, basketball is a team sport, and as the saying goes, "One cannot defeat four with two fists." Despite Ma Qi's explosive 60-point performance, it was not enough to stop Shandong Team from winning. After the game, Shandong Team's head coach Qiu Biao also gave special praise to Ningbo Team's Ma Qi! Qiu Biao stated, "I often say that one must guard against uncertain factors in basketball games. A foreign player scoring 60 points is an uncertain factor; he made many difficult shots. Fortunately, our defense was excellent. As for why Gao Shiyan did not play, Qiu Biao explained that it was to protect the player, who will rest and adjust…

Recently, he has delivered impressive performances, including a game on January 22nd, Beijing time, where Sandy Creek Friends School made a comeback victory against Indian Creek High School with a score of 62-60.

In the previous two seasons, he played for Hushak High School in New York State, but this season he transferred to Sandy Creek Friends School, where he has seen significant improvements in playing time and personal performance. Xun Sifeng has received offers from five universities: Long Island University, University of Maryland, Samford University, University of Central Florida, and Wichita State University. He has not yet decided which university to join. This season, Xun Sifeng's performance has clearly improved to a higher level, suggesting that more universities may extend offers to him in the coming year. Therefore, Xun Sifeng is not in a hurry to commit to any university immediately. Xun Sifeng comes from a basketball family; his twin brother, Xun Sinan, is also a rising star in basketball, standing at 2.13 meters tall and primarily playing as a center. Xun Sinan's prospects are even higher, having been ranked…

Guangdong Hongyuan's offseason signings have really brought great expectations to the fans! The foreign players Barton and Bazley were cut, which caught many people off guard. However, this decision was not unexpected. This season, Guangdong Hongyuan's foreign players' performances did not fully meet the team's needs. The two remaining foreign players, Morand and Jilunwater, may not be able to completely solve the problems on the front line. Therefore, the next highly anticipated move is the signing of a foreign forward, which has become an urgent position for Guangdong Hongyuan to strengthen. Recently, basketball journalist Song Xiang revealed an exciting message - Guangdong Hongyuan is interested in signing former NBA player Donis Arms! You know, Arms is not just a "sounding exotic" name; he is a truly talented young player. Although Arms did not find a fixed position in the NBA, his performance in the NBA Development League, especially during his time with the Grizzlies, was quite impressive. Born in 1998, Arms stands at 1.98 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. At a young age, he has already shown a hardcore basketball heart. Despite becoming an undrafted player in the NBA, he did not sink into despair but instead made a name for himself in the Development League! Last season, while playing for the Grizzlies' Development League team, he averaged 28.6 minutes per game, contributing 16.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 45.9% and a three-point percentage of 39.7%. These stats make me want to give him a thumbs up! When representing the Kings…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, a shocking event took place! The 32-year-old Guo Ailun once again broke records, scoring an astonishing 40 points against a championship contender, leaving Yang Ming and Liaoning in a more awkward position than Beikong. A peak battle in the CBA has concluded, with Guangzhou Long Lions losing at home to Beijing Beikong. Despite a significant deficit, they staged a remarkable comeback, with Guo Ailun delivering an incredible performance that was both the most exciting and uplifting of the season. Although the team lost, he did not. The loss was due to the fact that his teammates were simply not up to par, with the team's overall strength falling short of their opponents. However, this does not mean that Guo Ailun was incapable of performing. He scored an impressive 40 points, achieving his highest score of the season, and fully demonstrated his dominance, proving that he deserved to be the All-Star starter. After being selected as the All-Star starter, many people questioned whether he was worthy of the honor. But is he really deserving? In this game against the formidable Beikong, where the team's overall strength was far inferior to the opposition, it was him alone who led a group of inexperienced teammates in a fierce battle. By halftime, he had already scored 20 points with an astonishing shooting percentage of 6 out of 14, repeatedly driving to the basket and scoring time after time. It was as if he was silently shouting, "I'm just injured, not useless!" In just half a game, Guo Ailun proved…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team and Shandong High-Speed Men's Basketball Team have announced significant new signings, resulting in noticeable changes to their team rosters. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has signed Harry Giles III, a former NBA player known for his prowess in the paint, while Shandong High-Speed Men's Basketball Team has welcomed the physically imposing Christopher Koumadje. The addition of these two players has undoubtedly further strengthened the capabilities of both teams, generating excitement among fans for upcoming matches. Let's start with Shanxi Men's Basketball Team's signing. Giles III is a name that many basketball fans will recognize. Standing at 2.11 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.21 meters, he is a natural-born basketball player. More importantly, Giles III was selected as the 20th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Although his NBA career did not reach great heights, he played for the Sacramento Kings and scored 20 points and 9 rebounds in just 21 minutes during a game against the Atlanta Hawks, demonstrating his remarkable abilities. His arrival is undoubtedly a significant addition to Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. Shanxi Team has had an impressive season so far, with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses by the 10th round, ranking third in the standings. Their foreign player, Brandon Goodwin, averages 24.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game, making him the core of the team. Domestic players Zhang Ning and Yuan Shuai have also performed exceptionally well, forming a formidable trio with Goodwin that serves as the primary offensive force for Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. The addition…

It's really unexpected that the Shanghai team, which has been rising and is poised to challenge for the finals, has started scouting for quality small foreign players for next season with 13 rounds of regular season games yet to be played. After defeating Sichuan away, according to insiders, the Shanghai men's basketball team made contact with Sichuan's foreign player Samna during their trip to Sichuan, discussing the possibility of signing next season. If they successfully partner with this season's scoring champion, it's quite possible that the Shanghai team could make it to the finals next season, allowing the current 31-year-old Wang Zhelin to retire with a championship ring. Although the Shanghai team faced a foreign player crisis in the first stage of the 24-25 season, especially with a record of 1 win and 9 losses, which led to the resignation of head coach Liu Peng, the new season's Shanghai team can be said to have one of the best-performing young players. Under the condition of four quarters and seven foreign player uses in the league, most teams rarely allow young players playing time in pursuit of overall results. Most rely on veterans, but due to foreign player and injury issues, young players in the new season have received a lot of playing time and gradually become core rotations in the team, especially in the second stage after coach Lu Wei took office, players like Li Hongquan, Li Tianrong, Liu Zhengqing, Dai Hao, and even Xie Liyongwei and Ma Diancheng can become main rotation players. Although the current Shanghai team's overall…

At present, with the end of the first stage of the CBA regular season, the league has entered its first break window period. Teams are taking advantage of this rare opportunity to catch their breath and regroup for future battles. At the same time, a wave of changes in foreign aid has quietly arrived. First, Guangdong team took down two foreign players at the same time, followed by Shenzhen team, who sent their big foreign player Perry packing... According to Shenzhen media personality Zheng Zhipeng on social media, Shenzhen men's basketball team has cut Reggie Perry. He said, "Judging from the data alone, Perry was indeed the best performing foreign player in the first stage of Shenzhen men's basketball." "Basketball is a game of five people. It is difficult to say that Perry, born in 2000, is a 'professional' foreign player. From daily training to playing games, his emotional style of play, passive defense, enthusiasm for complaining about teammates, and locker room igniter." "Cutting a capable 'time bomb' and returning to a clear training and competition environment, the pros and cons are self-evident." A few days ago, after losing to Guangdong in the closing battle of the first stage of the regular season, Zhou Peng said at the post-match press conference: "Some of our players lack professional spirit on the court and violate the basic principles of a player. They think they are better than everyone else and put team interests at the bottom." Everyone was speculating at the time who Zhou Peng was referring to, and now it seems…

Another defeat, another crushing loss, Guangdong men's basketball team lost to Shanghai men's basketball team away from home, with a gap of 34 points. Adding the first round of 33 points, Guangdong team lost 67 points in two rounds, which is embarrassing. Although Guangdong team's current strength is definitely not as good as Shanghai team's, the process is so ugly that fans are definitely dissatisfied. The game can be lost, but the fighting spirit cannot be lost. What's worse is the conflict between the coach and the players, which is the most fatal. In the first quarter of the game, Jilunwote was distracted in defense, Du Feng replaced him and scolded him. Jilunwote is not a domestic player, he can't stand it, retorted, and made an internationally recognized obscene gesture to Du Feng, which everyone understands. As a result, it will definitely be "revenge" by Du Feng, directly benched, not allowed to play. Rather than let the team lose, the coach's authority cannot be challenged. Undoubtedly, this is a double loss situation. After the game, Du Feng confirmed the contradiction between the two at the press conference. He responded to the reason why Jilunwote was DNP: he had problems (provoking me), so he didn't play in the second half. Du Feng's anger tonight is very big. Not only did he scold Jilunwote, one of the main players, but also Xu Jie, another main player. I don't know what happened to Du Feng today. Without these two people, you would have been fired long ago. You don't even know how to…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Team defeated Guangdong Men's Basketball Team with a score of 115-81, ending Guangdong's nine-game winning streak and achieving a double kill for the season. The two games resulted in a combined victory margin of 77 points, demonstrating a clear dominance. There isn't much to say about this match; Shanghai comprehensively overwhelmed Guangdong, leaving them with no ability to fight back. It was like the script of Chang Wei beating Lai Fu. Guangdong only managed to resist at the beginning with a 9-0 run but collapsed after being overtaken. Shanghai remained calm when trailing and stable when leading, showing the qualities of a champion. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game. Cantonese media: "It's a pity that the nine-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, just one win short of reaching double digits. However, there are still obvious shortcomings in the current Guangdong team. They lack a good small foreign aid, limiting their competitiveness. Bazley wasted too many opportunities; his individual play simply doesn't work! It's inexplicable why Jilunwater didn't play, and they ended up losing by a large margin to the strong Shanghai team, which was completely reasonable! Don't worry too much about the data; go home, get a good night's sleep, and recover as soon as possible." Shanghai media: "The last time Shanghai men's basketball team completed a double kill against Guangdong in both home and away games during a single season regular season was during the championship-winning season of 2001-2002, which was exactly 24 years ago!" Shanxi media: "Shanghai…
