The second battle between Liaoning and Xinjiang ended with a bang, as the weakened Liaoning team ultimately defeated Xinjiang by a 26-point margin, achieving a satisfying revenge victory. In this match, Liu Wei was convinced of their defeat and stated after the game that Liaoning had given them a lesson, and he would send a message to Yang Ming to inquire about how they managed to overcome them with a weakened lineup. However, Liu Wei might have been being polite, as he was well aware of how Xinjiang lost the game. Ultimately, it was because Liaoning used a shorter rotation and displayed a more aggressive offensive and defensive performance. Despite only being able to register 11 players, Liu Wei rotated more players than Yang Ming in the first three quarters, but no matter how he deployed his troops, he could not reverse the unfavorable situation on the court. This was mainly due to the three foreign players lagging in scoring output, especially Peterson, who, along with Xierzati, who performed well in the previous two games against Beikong and Shanxi, also scored low in this game, failing to provide continuous firepower for Xinjiang's perimeter. Overall, Xinjiang also lost to themselves, as they did not adjust their mentality well and did not anticipate that Liaoning was coming to fight to the death. In the first three quarters, Liaoning's six main players were on the court, and five of them played to their expected level, with two performing above expectations. These two were Wells, who scored 50 points, and Wang Lanqin, who scored…

After two days of fierce competition, the CBA season has concluded its 23rd round. It is believed that due to it being the weekend, this round saw several intense matchups, with the most attention-grabbing being the match between Liaoning and Xinjiang, who faced each other in last season's finals. Additionally, the game between this season's rising star Shanxi team and the league leaders Guangsha team at home also attracted considerable interest; Shanghai team, currently on a strong upward trend, is believed to have also drawn significant attention in their home game against Beikong. Below, let's review the results of this round and the subsequent points ranking situation. First, let's look at the focus match of this round, the game between Liaoning and Xinjiang teams. In this game, Liaoning took advantage of their home court and unleashed a full offensive in the first quarter.

Liaoning led 33-21 over Xinjiang by 12 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, both sides played evenly, with Liaoning once establishing a 20-point lead.

In the glittering expanse of professional sports, every athlete's career is akin to a long journey filled with the unknown and challenges. Wells' basketball journey is undoubtedly an epic tale of struggle and perseverance, as he writes his own chapter of glory through dedication and hard work. Wanderlust: The Bumpy Beginning of the Dream Journey Wells' CBA journey began in the 2019-20 season when he was 26 years old, stepping onto this field full of opportunities and challenges with great anticipation. He successively joined teams like Guangsha, Jiangsu, Qingdao, and Jilin, and in six years, he actually wandered through five teams, like a wanderer adrift in the basketball world. There is no doubt about his basketball skills; his sharp breakthroughs and excellent scoring ability made him stand out on the court. However, basketball is not just a stage for individual scoring but also a battleground for team collaboration and victory. Although Wells could repeatedly score points in games, he never found the most critical key to leading the team to victory. Therefore, during each offseason, he had to face the fate of finding a new home, and the title of "CBA drifter" seemed to be an indelible label during that period. During the season he joined Guangsha, Wells hoped to make a big splash here, but reality did not live up to expectations. He could only contribute an average of 10 points per game, which was a heavy blow to him who harbored lofty aspirations. His experience in Jilin was even worse, playing only 10 games with few opportunities, plunging…

The Hope of Winning the Championship! Is Blackney the Most Suitable Forward Foreign Aid for Guangdong Team? The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continues, with a focus on the fierce battle between the strong Guangdong men's basketball team and the dark horse Jilin team. In the end, the stronger Guangdong team defeated Jilin with a score of 106-65, thanks to the outstanding performance of Xu Jie, Gillette, Morand, Huang Rongqi and other main players. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Guangdong's main small foreign aid Les still scored no points. In the same round of games, the defending champion Liaoning team's new aid Wells scored 50 points to lead the team to victory, while Diawara from Shanxi, Brown from Guangsha, and Samna from Sichuan also scored close to 50+ points. This undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Guangdong, and in the future Zhu Fangyu must introduce stronger small foreign aid in order to compete with these championship contenders. In fact, even after introducing Bezley and Les, Guangdong's current four foreign aid lineup still has huge problems. Among them, Morand and Bezley are defensive foreign aids, lacking qualified and stable ball-handling ability on the offensive end. In addition, Gillette's physical fitness and style of play can only be used as the third foreign aid. Les' personal ability is currently unable to meet Guangdong's playoff requirements, and in the future Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng must introduce new scoring-type swingman foreign aid. Many fans believe that Blackney, the former starting forward foreign aid of the CBA League…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Signs Fourth Foreign Aid, Du Feng Very Happy, Guangdong Men's Basketball Season Championship Betting Guangdong men's basketball team, as a powerhouse in the CBA, has experienced a severe decline in recent years due to problems such as the lack of successors, and even suffered defeat at the hands of Guangsha, stopping at the quarter-finals. However, with the passage of time, Guangdong men's basketball team has gradually completed its renewal and replacement. This season, it has signed Huang Rongqi and borrowed Wang Shaojie to further strengthen the team's strength. Especially the re-signing of Bazley has reorganized Guangdong men's basketball defense system. Coupled with the strength of small foreign aid Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan, Guangdong men's basketball team has preliminarily possessed the strength to compete for the championship. However, even such a powerful Guangdong men's basketball team still has a weakness, which is the lack of scoring ability. Jilunwater and Hu Mingxuan, etc., are okay when they encounter weak teams, but once they encounter strong teams, they are prone to lose themselves in high-intensity confrontations. Thus being led by the nose by the opponent. Leading to game failure. Therefore, Guangdong men's basketball team needs to sign a fourth foreign aid, that is, a swingman between forwards and guards. At this time, Feng Leite Lais, abandoned by Liaoning men's basketball team, traveled thousands of miles to join Guangdong men's basketball team, and even trained with Xu Xin and others at one point. As a top swingman between forwards and guards, Lais also scored 30 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, with a fierce battle between the championship favorites Guangdong men's basketball team and the rising Jilin team. After four quarters of intense competition, Huang Rongqi exploded and teamed up with Xu Jie to lead Guangdong to an easy 106-65 victory over Jilin on the road. However, Guangdong's new recruit, Les, was unable to seize the opportunity, playing less than two minutes without scoring. In contrast, top CBA foreign players such as Samner, Wells, Brown, and Diawara scored nearly 50 points in this round, forcing Guangdong to reassess their future reinforcement plans. Guangdong has completed reinforcements with a four-foreigner lineup of Morland, Bazley, Jilunwater, and Les, but recent games have shown problems at both ends of the court. Guangdong lacks a qualified and stable ball-handling offensive foreign player, leading to excessive reliance on local guards like Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan. Among the four foreigners, newcomers Bazley and Les have yet to showcase their strengths in key battles. Veteran Morland excels in defense and facilitation, being the only foreigner capable of tough games for Guangdong. However, Morland's lack of independent offensive ability is also frustrating. As for Jilunwater, he may be more suitable for the third foreigner role. Although he can score aggressively in offense, his defense and stamina are limited. Looking at Shanghai's success with strong foreigner Lofton, who can complement the team's weaknesses in inside offense, outside organization, and rebounding, Guangdong must introduce a true top-tier wing foreigner to challenge the finals again. To adapt to the…

Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team has finally found its form after a season of ups and downs, securing an impressive 9-game winning streak in their last 10 matches, with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, propelling them to the second position in the league. This strong winning streak not only reasserts their strength but also lays a solid foundation for the upcoming season sprint. How did Zhejiang achieve this? How do they maintain a strong comeback in adversity? Schedule Advantage: Easy Matches Boost Winning Momentum It is undeniable that Zhejiang benefited from a relatively easy schedule during this winning streak. Although they faced some strong teams at the beginning of the season, such as Shanghai, in the recent 10 games, most of their opponents were lower-ranked teams, many of which were plagued by injuries. In these matches, Zhejiang's only loss was a significant defeat against Shanghai, while they managed to win the rest. For instance, teams like Guangzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin, Ningbo, Sichuan, Beikong, Guangdong, and Shenzhen were unable to stop Zhejiang's winning streak. Particularly, Qingdao played without their core foreign player, Weatherspoon, and their main forward, Wang Ruize, due to injuries; Guangdong also struggled with injuries, lacking firepower in crucial moments despite some stunning performances; Beikong had some bright spots but fell far short of expectations this season, currently ranking only 10th. Roster Depth: The Declining Importance of Four Foreign Players and Wu Qian Besides the relatively relaxed schedule, another key factor contributing to Zhejiang's consecutive victories is their excellent roster depth. Zhejiang currently has four foreign players, boasting…

Guangdong Team's New Small Foreign Aid, Les, Fails to Score in a Big Win On December 29th, Beijing time, the second stage of the CBA regular season continued. In the just-concluded focus match, Guangdong men's basketball team, with four foreign players, defeated Jilin team 106-65 away from home, winning the key battle for the playoffs on the leaderboard. However, even in such a thrilling victory, Guangdong's new small foreign aid, Les, failed to score. Many fans believe that Les has officially entered the countdown to leaving the team, as Du Feng preferred to use Zhang Haojia and Zhang Wenyi instead of giving Les the opportunity to train. Moreover, Guangdong urgently needs a top-level small foreign aid who can truly solve opponents, to match top CBA foreign aids like Lofton and Goodwin. After the same round of matches, foreign players including Sichuan's Samner, Liaoning's Wells, Shanxi's Diarra, and Guangsha's Brown once again scored shockingly. Undoubtedly, at this stage, almost every championship-contending team has a strong small foreign aid. In contrast, Guangdong, one of the most competitive teams for the CBA championship this season, only has Morand among its four foreign players capable of playing tough games. Moreover, Morand is only the best in the league in terms of defense and facilitation, but his offensive ability has not reached a qualified level. Besides, Guangdong's current foreign aid combination, including Bazley, Gillenwater, and newcomer Les, lacks the ability to play tough games. Looking at the CBA league, the two strongest foreign players at present are Shanxi's Goodwin and Shanghai's Lofton. Lofton has led…

On the evening of December 29, 2024, the CBA regular season welcomed a wave of exciting matchups, with Zhejiang and Beikong men's basketball teams both securing easy victories on the road, continuing to solidify their playoff competitiveness. Zhejiang defeated Fujian 126-103 away from home, winning their 10th consecutive victory and showing their championship potential. At the same time, Beikong men's basketball team won 112-94 against Jiangsu, ending their two-game losing streak and continuing to pursue a playoff spot. In this game, Zhejiang men's basketball team quickly entered the state at the beginning, leading 32-28 in the first quarter.

In the second half, Zhejiang men's basketball team further controlled the rhythm of the game, further expanding the lead advantage to 33-25 in the third quarter, and finally defeating Fujian 126-103. Despite Fujian's best efforts, Joseph Young scored 32 points individually, but Fujian's overall performance was weak, especially with numerous defensive flaws. Zhejiang men's basketball team's offensive momentum was like a tide, with Jones and York's outstanding performances becoming key factors. This victory not only continued their winning streak but also allowed them to surpass Shanxi in the latest CBA rankings, rising to second place in the league. Beikong men's basketball team showed strong offensive and defensive transition capabilities in their match against Jiangsu. In the opening stages, although Beikong's shooting percentage was not high, they gradually widened the gap…
