The flames of the 24th round of the CBA regular season burned passionately on the evening of December 30th, with seven major battles taking turns to be staged, offering a visual feast for fans. Among them, the 100th match between Liaoning and Guangdong and the Beijing-Xinjiang battle were particularly eye-catching. These two focus battles were not only full of suspense but also reflected the pattern and changes of the CBA league. Liaoning-Guangdong Duel, Yang Ming Smiles in the Face of a Weakened Lineup Challenge When Liaoning Men's Basketball Team faced Guangdong Men's Basketball Team again, the wheels of history had quietly rolled to the 100th time. This time, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team faced the dilemma of an incomplete lineup. The absence of Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Cong Mingchen, Liu Yanyu, coupled with the delay of the arrival of the big foreign aid, made Yang Ming's hand seem to be in a tight spot. However, it was precisely under such adversity that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team showed astonishing tenacity and strength. Wells, the foreign aid who temporarily took up the team's tough task, became the cornerstone of Liaoning's victory with a performance of 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists. His scoring ability provided Liaoning with a stable output point on the offensive end. And Han Dejun, the 37-year-old veteran, set an example with 16 points and 12 rebounds, building an indestructible defense line in the paint. His presence made it difficult for Guangdong's offense and defense transitions to proceed smoothly. Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's victory was not the work of…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the 25th round of the CBA will witness a heavyweight match, Liaoning's third battle in their devil schedule, against Beijing BAW, ranked 7th but still one of the favorites to win the championship this season. The two teams met on December 20th last month, with a weakened Liaoning squad facing Beijing without Zhou Qi. The battle was fierce, with Liaoning leading the score under the leadership of Ferg in the first three quarters. However, in the final quarter, Liaoning's offensive slowed down due to physical issues, and Zhang Zhenlin was forced to withdraw from the game after being accidentally injured by Fan Ziming. Beijing staged a great comeback under the leadership of Zeng Fanbo and Chen Yingjun. Zeng Fanbo contributed 4 blocks in a single quarter (all against Ferg), with a total of 7 blocks throughout the game, overshadowing everyone else, and even blocking Ferg's last-second three-pointer attempt (Ferg scored 45 points in the game). Liaoning eventually lost to Beijing by a margin of 1 point, causing Yang Ming to be somewhat furious. Despite Yang Ming's frustration, Liaoning's subsequent record did not plummet as a result. Instead, they became more and more courageous. After Yang Ming abandoned Ture, Liaoning has won four consecutive victories, defeating Fujian, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, and Guangdong. On the other hand, Beijing has struggled, narrowly avoiding defeat to Liaoning but then suffering consecutive losses to Tianjin and Shandong, winning only one of their last four games. Beijing BAIC's recent record has been dismal, with only four wins and six losses in the…

Pre-game Training Details of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team Exposed, Coach Du Feng Focuses on Four Power Forwards, One Player May Have Been Dropped "CBA arena is in turmoil as Guangdong and Liaoning reunite!" Hey, basketball fans, today we're going to talk about a highlight of the CBA regular season - the "CBA Spring Festival Gala" match between Guangdong and Liaoning men's basketball teams. This game is like a collision between Mars and Earth, with both teams having a huge fan base, and the matchup is sure to be explosive and full of highlights! Speaking of Guangdong men's basketball team, they have put in a lot of effort to prepare for this "Spring Festival Gala". Head coach Du Feng has personally taken charge, leading the players in pre-game training. Look at Xu Xin, Du Runwang, Zhang Shaojie, and Zhang Hao, who has just returned from injury, these four local power forwards are being "closely watched" by Coach Du. Why? It's because Liaoning's frontcourt is relatively short-staffed, relying only on Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, two experienced veterans. Coach Du wants to take advantage of Guangdong's frontcourt strength to deliver a "blow to the head" to Liaoning. This training is done with real intensity. Coach Du has strict requirements, not letting go of any action or detail. Xu Xin, Du Runwang, Zhang Shaojie, and Zhang Hao, these four power forwards, are also training hard. They practice mid-range shots, strong attacks under the basket, defensive blocks, and more. You can say that Coach Du is "putting his heart and soul into it," taking…

The roster adjustments of the Liaoning basketball team have left many fans with mixed feelings - they are good, but there is also a hint of concern. The team made a series of moves during the offseason with the aim of enhancing their strength, especially in the frontcourt and foreign aid, making significant investments. However, these moves unexpectedly brought considerable challenges to the team. The frontcourt reinforcement did not meet expectations, and the selection of foreign aid was somewhat perplexing. Let's start with Aqiu'er. When he joined, everyone had high hopes. Aqiu'er had previously had a notable stint in the CBA, and it was believed that he could bring a strong interior presence to fill the gaps in Liaoning's lineup. However, his performance did not live up to expectations, leaving some disappointed. In rebounding, he couldn't even secure ordinary rebounds, let alone compete with top-tier centers like Morand. His offensive play was weak, failing to display the expected toughness. Despite his efforts, he couldn't deliver, and ultimately, he didn't stay. Aqiu'er's departure directly reduced the team's interior support by a big body. As for Shayok, his addition showed potential on paper, but once on the court, few understood what he was doing. On offense, it was either turnovers or missed shots, especially those wide-open attempts that seemed cursed. It was evident that he had a solid track record, but he just didn't fit into Liaoning's system, akin to wearing ill-fitting shoes. The team's offensive rhythm never took off, and he appeared lost on the court. Eventually, Shayok didn't survive this…

This is the reason why Guangdong Men's Basketball Team narrowly lost to Liaoning in an away game, it turns out that these things caused it. Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly: "That young player Li Hu Yi from Liaoning played so hard in the fourth quarter, every time Guangdong Men's Basketball Team almost caught up, Liaoning always had players stand out to widen the score. On the contrary, those young players from Guangdong really couldn't be supported anymore, they could only rely on Xu Jie and Jilunwote to hold on every game. There are too many strong teams now, it will probably take a few more years to recover!" Du Runwang has become a mascot now, Xu Xin is just giving points, not playing any role, no defense, such a big guy standing there can't grab rebounds, Bessie can only brush data when playing weak teams, it's better to sign back Brooks, at least add another ball handler. Guangdong Men's Basketball Team lacks Hu Mingxuan, Liaoning lacks Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin and the foreign aid, but Liaoning dominated the whole game, Guangdong was actually no longer a strong team four years ago. Guangdong Men's Basketball Team only lost by 6 points in this game, which is considered good, now Guangdong's goal is to try to enter the playoffs. Guangdong team only has one Jie Ge who can handle the ball, under the three-person double-teaming, Jie Ge also tried his best. Bazley is very soft and cannot attack with the ball, defense alone is not enough. Wang Shaojie is softer…

Since the introduction of top-tier contracts in the CBA league, it signifies that players who can secure such contracts are exceptional talents, considered big-name players within their teams and even across the CBA. Indeed, obtaining a top-tier CBA contract is a goal pursued by every CBA player, as it not only confirms their status at the pinnacle of the league but also brings them superior income and fame compared to others. However, the Beijing Royal Fighters have often shown poor judgment in selecting top-tier contracted players. Previously, they offered Sun Tonglin a multi-year top-tier CBA contract, resulting in Sun spending extended periods on the bench, earning high wages without contributing to the team. Undoubtedly, the long-term top-tier contract given to Sun by the Beijing Royal Fighters was a misjudgment. Regrettably, it seems the Beijing Royal Fighters' vision remains clouded, as they may have made another misjudgment this season. Both Zou Yuchen and Shen Zijie are top-tier contracted players for the team, yet their performances have not met the expectations of fans. In particular, Shen Zijie, regarded as a top center in the CBA, has seen a sharp decline in form since joining the Beijing Royal Fighters, failing to demonstrate the impact expected of a top-tier CBA player. Taking the game between the Beijing Royal Fighters and the Shanghai Sharks as an example, neither Shen Zijie nor Zou Yuchen were effective defensively against the 1.98-meter-tall Lofton. They were completely outplayed, allowing the opponent to score 31 points, grab 14 rebounds, and provide 7 assists, highlighting the fragility of the interior defense…

In a recent basketball match between Guangdong and Liaoning, Guangdong suffered a defeat at the hands of Liaoning, despite the absence of key players Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin from Liaoning's lineup. The game marked the hundredth encounter between the two teams, with Guangdong ultimately losing in Shenyang. Throughout the match, Guangdong appeared to be on the defensive, struggling against Liaoning's flexible tactics, which included both zone defense and man-to-man defense. Coach Du Feng seemed to have few options to counter these strategies, resulting in Guangdong being "technically knocked out" by Liaoning. Analysts have pointed out that the root cause of Guangdong's loss was their lack of a reliable scoring guard, particularly in the crucial fourth quarter when no one could step up to score. Guangdong did have a small foreign guard, Les, who had been officially signed and was on the roster for the game. However, he mysteriously did not play, leaving Xu Jie isolated and without support once again. After the game, Guangdong's team reporter, Guan Xin, revealed that Les had a falling out with the team and did not even show up at the arena that night, let alone participate in the game! Guan Xin disclosed during a live broadcast that Les had shown noticeable attitude problems during training and matches. Despite Du Feng registering him for the game, Les claimed to have an emergency before the match and did not appear at the venue. Guangdong is known for its strict management of foreign players in the CBA, never allowing troublemakers to disrupt team discipline. Notably, big-name…

On December 30th, the CBA league saw Shanghai win an away game in overtime against Nanjing Tongxi with a score of 133:131. This marked their last match of 2024, and they concluded half the season with an 11-game winning streak. From a 1-win, 9-loss record in the first stage to their current 11 consecutive victories, Shanghai has changed coaches, foreign players, and mentality. They now face all opponents with what can be considered their strongest lineup this season, and every victory is justified. The current 11-game winning streak is not the end for them this season; how many more wins will they achieve? Let's look at the schedule, which is uniquely bizarre for Shanghai, making it fitting for miracles and records to emerge from them. Originally, Shanghai was scheduled to play against Shanxi on January 1st, 2025, in the 25th round. However, for unknown reasons, the 25th round has been rescheduled to the end of February during the break period. This isn't the only rescheduled match for Shanghai; they have also yet to play their 13th round game, an away match against Beijing BAW, which has also been moved to late February. Despite ranking 12th, Shanghai has played fewer games than others, with 22 rounds completed, 12 wins, and 10 losses. By win rate, they are actually in tenth place in the league. Shanghai's first game in 2025 is on January 4th, the 26th round, at home against Ningbo. Following that are two away games: against Tianjin on January 6th in the 27th round and against Beikong on January 8th…
