During the off-season, Shandong Taishan has undoubtedly become a focus of attention among fans, especially with the outbreak of conflicts between head coach Choi Kang-hee and the club, which has undoubtedly left some hidden dangers for the team. However, according to the latest information, Choi Kang-hee will not be sacked; he will continue to coach Taishan. After confirming the head coach, the next step for Taishan is to focus on strengthening the squad. Last season, Taishan's poor performance was mainly due to significant disadvantages in foreign aid. Therefore, during this off-season, Taishan needs to strengthen its high-level foreign aid. Since Choi Kang-hee took office, under his leadership, the level of foreign aid introduced by Taishan has been very limited. Moreover, Choi Kang-hee prefers to recruit from the K League, further restricting Taishan's foreign aid targets. As a result, Taishan stripped Choi Kang-hee of his decision-making power over foreign aid during this off-season. After Choi Kang-hee lost his power to sign players, Taishan's thinking in choosing foreign aid suddenly broadened. Recently, Turkish media reported that the Chinese team Shandong Taishan is trying to sign Aboubakar. The 32-year-old Aboubakar plays for Hatayspor in the Turkish Super League. This season, Aboubakar has made 15 appearances for the team, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist, and his contract with the team will expire on June 30, 2025. Aboubakar was also a member of the Cameroon national team. Born in 1992, he stands at 1.84 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms. He plays as a forward. It is worth noting that in 2015, he…

Not long ago, Chinese men's basketball legend Sun Yue held a jersey retirement ceremony, with his No. 9 jersey slowly rising at the home court of the Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team. Of course, many fans believe that the Beijing Men's Basketball Team should have retired Sun Yue's jersey, after all, he brought the championship to the team and helped establish a championship dynasty for the Beijing Men's Basketball Team. It should be so, but because of the complicated personal grievances between Sun Yue and the management of the Beijing Men's Basketball Team, it is believed that this is also the key factor why the Beijing Men's Basketball Team did not retire Sun Yue's jersey. It must be said that Sun Yue is one of the best guards in the history of Chinese men's basketball. He has an absolute height advantage among guards, standing over 2 meters tall. Similarly, his blocking ability is at the level of an interior player, and Sun Yue has also logged into the NBA and won a championship with the Lakers.‌ After returning from the NBA, Sun Yue joined the Beijing Men's Basketball Team and became the second-highest scorer on the team after the foreign players. His joining also helped the Beijing Men's Basketball Team establish a dynasty. However, later Sun Yue and the Beijing Men's Basketball Team did not get along well, and even the Beijing Men's Basketball Team once shelved Sun Yue, wasting some of his peak years. Eventually, in the twilight of his career, she joined the Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team.…

On December 27th, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) has announced three pieces of news. First, in preparation for the 2025 National Games, the 2025-26 CBA season will start in early December. This news may disappoint many basketball fans, but adjustments are necessary for the sake of event uniformity. Typically, the new CBA season begins in October, with some starting around the 20th, and the 24-25 season began around the 10th, earlier than previous years. To prepare for the new season, CBA teams usually hold warm-up matches and preseason games starting in September. However, with the 25-26 season postponed to December, all schedules must be adjusted. Fans are most concerned about the shortened regular season schedule, which means fewer games to watch, as the finals typically end around mid-May. Summer months often feature national team games and vacation time for fans, making it impossible to extend the season into July. Since the playoffs cannot be compressed, cuts must be made to the regular season. Some media professionals believe that the postponement of the CBA schedule will also affect teams' ability to recruit foreign players, as other international basketball leagues begin around October, and top players will likely secure contracts early, while the CBA doesn't start until mid-December, causing a significant delay. Nonetheless, decisions have been made and must be implemented. The 24-25 season is not yet halfway through, so there's no point in considering next season too much. Moreover, the 2025 National Games will offer a diverse range of competitions, including intense basketball rivalries, keeping many players busy. The second piece…

As of the 20th round of the CBA schedule, Beijing Men's Basketball Team has a total record of 15 wins and 5 losses, ranking fifth in the standings. This performance does not match the luxurious lineup of the Beijing team. The five games that Beijing has lost so far were against Jilin, Tianjin, Shanxi, and Guangdong men's basketball teams. Among these four teams, Jilin and Tianjin are at the lower levels of the league. The fact that Beijing lost to them indicates that the team's performance is extremely unstable, and they do not have a sure win even against weaker opponents. Out of the 15 games that Beijing won, six were close victories, failing to demonstrate the aggressiveness expected of a strong team. What exactly is going on with Beijing Men's Basketball Team? Why are they struggling this season? It all boils down to these five reasons, and I'll only discuss the key points. Reason One: Xu Limin's Coaching Style is Too Gentle In basketball, exerting pressure on referees is also a strategy that can change their refereeing tendencies to some extent. However, Coach Xu rarely protests during games and seldom shows emotional expressions. As a result, Chen Yingjun, the core organizer of the perimeter, and Jermaine, the main offensive point of the perimeter, often suffer physical harm from opponents and do not benefit from favorable calls. Reason Two: The Frontcourt is Too Easily Targeted On the offensive end, Fan Ziming, Qiu Tian, and Solomon do not aim for mid-range shots when they get the ball, and even if they…

Goodbye Zhou Qi! Serie A Genius with 49 Points in a Game Lands, Liaoning's National Games Championship Seems Secure Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has recently attracted significant attention within the domestic basketball scene. Known as a breeding ground for basketball talent in China, Liaoning continues to produce local players, setting it apart from other CBA teams in terms of player composition. As the National Games draw closer, teams are preparing intensively, aiming to compete with their strongest lineups.‌ At this juncture, Liaoning Team announces significant news: Zhao Weilun, the Serie A prodigy who once scored 49 points in a game, is set to join the team. Simultaneously, there are indications that Zhou Qi, the core interior player, may leave the National Games squad. This development brings mixed implications for Liaoning's National Games representative team. On one hand, if Zhou Qi departs, the team's interior strength will undoubtedly suffer, as his dominance in the paint is crucial to the team. On the other hand, Zhao Weilun's addition is highly anticipated; he achieved fame at a young age and has performed exceptionally in both Italian and American leagues, infusing new vitality and hope into Liaoning Team. Fans eagerly await the team's performance under the new lineup, hoping for outstanding results in the National Games.‌ Zhao Weilun's basketball journey is impressive, having embarked on an overseas career at a young age to play in the Italian league. His breakout moment came in the 2019 Serie A U14 playoffs, where he skillfully maneuvered past tight defenses, making decisive long-range shots or powerful drives to…

It's really difficult to find suitable foreign players, a common sentiment among the general managers of CBA clubs, who are almost constantly scouting for talent. This is related to the CBA's salary cap regulations, which stipulate that the total cannot exceed $4.5 million. With such a low price, it's certainly challenging to find appropriate foreign players. However, there have been successful cases of finding great value in unexpected places. Below, we'll discuss four foreign players who were very affordable but have performed like superstars. Weatherspoon from Qingdao Men's Basketball averages 27.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage as high as 52%.
