On December 28th, Beijing time, the 23rd round of the CBA regular season continued, with Liaoning defeating Xinjiang 115-89 at home. The trend of the home game was indeed different from pre-match predictions. Surprisingly, despite both teams being short-handed, Liaoning's competitive spirit and desire to win overwhelmed their opponents from the start. Xinjiang seemed caught off-guard and quickly fell behind. After the match, Xinjiang's head coach Liu Wei even admitted that he wanted to learn the secrets from Yang Ming, acknowledging that the weakened Liaoning team had given them a lesson! The statistics for Liaoning were as follows: Wells scored 50 points with 2 rebounds and 6 assists, Ferg scored 13 points with 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Han Dejun scored 11 points with 13 rebounds and 4 assists, Wang Lanqin scored 20 points with 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and Li Xiaoxu scored 5 points with 7 rebounds. For Xinjiang, Lawson scored 13 points with 12 rebounds, Li Yanzhe scored 9 points with 1 rebound, Ilyfulti scored 13 points with 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and Yang Rui scored 11 points with 2 rebounds. After the match, Liaoning received three pieces of good news and one piece of bad news. Coach Yang Ming was even moved, stating that this was the strongest display of player execution and desire to win since he took over coaching! Firstly, Yang Ming did listen to advice, giving Wang Lanqin more playing time tonight while benching Yan Shouqi, which turned out to be a brilliant move. Wang Lanqin proved his worth by scoring 20…

Due to the situation with Morand and Huang Rongqi, Du Feng had no choice but to use new players. In previous games, Zhang Haojia and Zhang Mingchi did not play much. Du Feng replaced Huang Rongqi with Zhang Haojia and substituted Morand with Zhang Mingchi, both moves were out of necessity. Both Lao Mo and the top-ranked player were plagued by fouls, forcing them to be taken off the court in a timely manner. After Zhang Haojia came on, Guangdong's nightmare began. He continuously committed unnecessary fouls and made frequent mistakes on the offensive end. Due to his slow movement speed, Guangdong's fast-break rhythm was disrupted after he entered the game. Once the speed slowed down, the team completely lost its advantage. The initial three-point shots failed to knock down the opponent, leading to subsequent positional battles. Morand had to face the impact of Lofton and Wang Zhelin, and after consuming a huge amount of energy in the previous two games, he clearly appeared powerless in this match. Zhang Haojia, who came on the court, could not tear into the opponent's ball-handler like Huang Rongqi. He seemed completely clueless about what to do on the court, looking dazed, which led to frequent instances of missing his mark. This also affected Lao Mo's emotions. Frustrated by his teammates' poor performance, he appeared very depressed. Replacing Huang Rongqi with Zhang Haojia became the first turning point of the game. In fact, from the second quarter onwards, with Morand's departure, Guangdong's fate was already sealed. Du Feng sent on Zhang Mingchi. After he…

Translation of the article content into English: In the recently concluded CBA regular season, Shanghai managed to secure a 10-game winning streak despite the absence of Liu Zheng and Li Hongquan, defeating Beikong 108-96. Lofton once again displayed his prowess, scoring an impressive 31 points with 11 rebounds and 7 assists, while Blaydes also contributed with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. The duo helped maintain a double-digit lead in the final quarter, ultimately securing the victory. With this win, Shanghai officially surpassed Jilin in the standings, entering the playoff zone. This victory solidifies the top 12 teams in the league, which includes established powerhouses like Guangdong, Liaoning, Xinjiang, Beijing, Guangsha, and Zhejiang, as well as rising contenders such as Shanxi, Shandong, Qingdao, Tongxi, Shanghai, and Beikong. These teams have a significant advantage over the bottom eight in terms of both tactical sophistication and overall player strength, setting the stage for this year's playoffs. Which team will emerge victorious and claim the championship title this season? In my opinion, it boils down to these four teams: Liaoning Men's Basketball Team Currently ranked fifth with a record of 15 wins and 7 losses, defending champion Liaoning has been struggling recently. However, as a three-time champion, they possess a deep foundation. The main reason for their performance dip is injuries, particularly the absence of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, who are key players in the team's offensive and defensive lineup. Their absence significantly weakens the team's dominance. Additionally, Wang Lanqin's integration has not been smooth, and there have been issues with…

Liaoning Men's Basketball Team and Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team faced off in their second match. In the first encounter, Liaoning was defeated by their opponents. Returning to their home court this time, they were determined to regain their footing, but the challenge was significant as their current form and lineup were not as strong as their opponents. Xinjiang also had a limited number of players, but they were in good form and had three foreign players, which tilted the scales of victory in their favor. In the first quarter, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team dominated with a score of 33-21 over Xinjiang, causing a major upset. Liaoning was clearly well-prepared, immediately ramping up their offensive and defensive intensity, forcing their opponents into turnovers and counterattacks, effectively restricting their key players and perimeter game. Xinjiang struggled to respond, failing to match their opponents' intensity, reminiscent of last season's finals where they were overwhelmed. They made numerous turnovers, struggled with three-point shooting, and lost rebounds. In the second quarter, Wells continued his hot streak while Xinjiang's three-point shooting remained cold. Li Xiaoxu missed a three-pointer, Peterson drew a foul on Li Huyi's three-pointer, but Wells continued to hit his threes. Higins missed a jumper, but Wells countered, extending the lead to 17 points. Aizimaiti broke the scoring drought, followed by Ferguson's three-pointer and Li Yanzhe's mid-range shot. However, Ferguson's subsequent three-pointer fell short, as did Peterson's. Wells continued to hit his threes, while Ili's attempts went unanswered until he finally missed one... Xinjiang's turnovers returned, allowing Liaoning to counterattack and extend their lead…

Recently, Shanghai men's basketball team head coach Lu Wei personally stepped forward to dispel rumors about the team's big foreign aid, Lofton, clarifying some misunderstandings about him. This incident not only demonstrated the team's trust and support for their foreign aid but also highlighted Lofton's significant role within the Shanghai team. At the same time, Lofton's outstanding performance on the court also proved that Wang Zhen's previous decision to recruit him was clearly correct. Previously, there were some online memes about Lofton, such as his love for potato chips. Although these seemingly trivial jokes, they did influence the public's perception of Lofton's professional attitude to a certain extent. This time, Lu Wei personally dispelled the rumors, aiming to restore Lofton's true image and let fans see a hardworking and focused professional basketball player. In fact, Lofton's basketball career has not been smooth sailing. He failed to establish himself in the NBA due to his height, but this does not mean he lacks basketball talent or competitive ability. On the contrary, Lofton has always maintained a high level of focus and continuous effort in the field of basketball, constantly seeking breakthroughs and progress. The opportunity provided by the Shanghai men's basketball team gave him a new stage to showcase his skills in the CBA league. Since joining the Shanghai men's basketball team, Lofton's performance has been highly anticipated. According to statistics, in the current season, he averages 30.5 minutes per game, contributing a comprehensive set of data including 22.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.1 blocks. Such performances…

This season's Liaoning men's basketball team has been plagued with turmoil. Over the past few months, everyone might be wondering if this is still the same Liaoning team we know? Indeed, injuries and the rotation of foreign players have put this once-dominant CBA team in a rather awkward position. With a record of 14 wins and 7 losses, ranking sixth in the regular season, it's hard to say that this reflects the true style of Liaoning. Since the start of the season, there have been constant issues with foreign players, with changes happening one after another. You might ask, how can you change a foreign player so quickly? Liaoning has indeed undergone major surgery, with foreign player adjustments being quite tough. Look at the initial foreign player lineup at the beginning of the season, Aqiu'er and Sayok. Everyone was quite hopeful when they first took the court, but they didn't stay long before they were quickly benched. What did Aqiu'er and Sayok's departure bring to the team? A huge question mark. Liaoning quickly signed Wells and Ture. This time, they really put in the effort. However, who could have expected that Ture would become like a cobra, biting away all the expectations. Look at Ture's performance in Liaoning, playing 7 times, averaging 9.9 minutes, scoring 2.7 points, grabbing 3 rebounds. With such statistics, he couldn't even be considered a regular player. With these numbers, Liaoning's basketball dream almost went up in smoke. Ture's performance really left fans speechless. He does have height and weight for the inside game, but he…

During the intense battles of the WCBA league, the outstanding performances of domestic players have truly caught the eye. Who says Chinese women's basketball relies solely on foreign players?

Han Xu, the anchor of Sichuan Women's Basketball, not only averages an impressive 17.9 points but also contributes 7.4 rebounds per game, making her the queen of the paint. This evokes memories of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal's reign of dominance, with the same level of awe-inspiring power! Sichuan Women's Basketball, this galactic team, is both envied and feared by their opponents. With Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Gao Song, and Han Xu forming the strongest quartet, they are the WCBA version of the "Death Five Small"! Gao Song, at 32 years old, still demonstrates remarkable skills, averaging 15.6 points per game, proving that veterans never fade away. Li Meng, with her comprehensive skills and a shooting accuracy of 44.8%, delivers such stable firepower that it's hard not to be impressed! Peng Shiqing from Shijiazhuang Women's Basketball is a dark horse, improving her scoring average from 11.2 points last season to 17.8 points…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the 23rd round of the CBA regular season continued, with Guangdong team challenging Jilin team away. In this game, Jilin's main players such as Jones and Jiang Weize did not play, so the excitement of this game was much less. One of the highlights may be how Les performs in regular time. In the first quarter, Guangdong team started with Jillenwalt scoring 8 points in a row, followed by Xu Jie scoring 4 points to lead 12-2 by 10 points; then Guangdong team's focus on both offense and defense dropped, with many unnecessary turnovers on the offensive end; on the defensive end, they gave Jilin many opportunities to attack the basket, fortunately, Jillenwalt scored 18 points in the first quarter with hot shooting, and Guangdong team led 25-22 by 3 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Guangdong started full-court leading defense and double-teaming the ball handler, causing Jilin to make consecutive mistakes, and Guangdong made consecutive defensive counterattacks to open up the point difference to double digits; after Jilin narrowed the point difference slightly, Guangdong immediately launched a wave of 16-2 to open up the point difference to 21 points. In the final stage, Bazley first made consecutive blocks, followed by a dunk, and the first half ended with Guangdong leading 63-39 by 24 points. At the beginning of the third quarter, Xu Jie, Du Runwang, Huang Rongqi, Morland, and Bazley all scored, and Guangdong team again launched a wave of 16-4 in half a quarter to lead 79-43…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the second stage of the CBA league regular season continued. Recently, after losing at home to the Zhejiang team, Guangdong men's basketball team's record of 12 wins and 10 losses was no longer enough to guarantee the team's entry into the playoffs this season. However, the disadvantages of the domestic lineup in positions three and five made it impossible for Du Feng to ensure that Guangdong could adapt with a more balanced lineup to the single foreign aid system in the final quarter of the game. In response, activating a qualified domestic No. 3 position player is far more important than introducing a powerful small foreign aid. Because in the past, Guangdong lost many games because Morand couldn't play in the fourth quarter, resulting in the inside being blown up and losing the game. In terms of the current Guangdong foreign aid lineup, although Morand, Jilunwater, Beizeli, and Les seem very strong, only Morand can handle tough battles. Jilunwater has already proved that he cannot maintain efficiency against strong opponents in critical moments during his time with the Shandong team. Therefore, after Qiu Biao introduced Chris this season, the overall strength and record of the Shandong team also soared. Beizeli currently lacks the ability for independent offense, and when targeted by opponents, he cannot achieve the desired effect. As for Les, his personal abilities are clearly not up to the qualified level of the CBA league or above. Moreover, Guangdong's remaining foreign aid salary space is limited, and it is impossible to introduce another powerful…

In the CBA regular season, Liaoning defeated Xinjiang with a score of 115-89. Xinjiang was overwhelmed from the start of the game due to Liaoning's high intensity, which prevented them from opening up their offense. Additionally, most of the players were not in good form, resulting in Xinjiang being completely suppressed and ultimately leading to their defeat. Throughout the game, Yang Rui, Yi Fu, Li Yanzhe, and A Bu Du all performed well. Yang Rui became a huge surprise, despite being a young player and not performing well previously. However, he scored 11 points with 4 out of 5 shots, making it his best game this season. Although he was a bit confused on defense, 1 steal and 1 block were already quite good. Yi Fu continued to lead both offense and defense, with 13 points and 8 rebounds, and did not perform poorly defensively against Wells. Unfortunately, Liu Wei did not persist. Li Yanzhe remained solid in the paint, scoring 9 points with 4 out of 5 shots, maintaining good efficiency. Along with A Bu Du, who had already reached his peak form today, scoring 8+2+4 in just 10 minutes. It's a pity that Liu Wei did not give him enough playing time. Perhaps it's because he doesn't have shooting ability, but the state he displayed in this game has been the best recently. Aizimaiti is the only one with a passing performance. Although his basketball IQ is lacking, scoring 14 points with 5 out of 10 shots is enough for him, as his skill ceiling is limited. Laoson,…
