This season, the CBA has relaxed its foreign player policy, changing from four quarters with four players to seven players per quarter. This greatly increases the impact of foreign players on the game while reducing the playing time of domestic players. For many teams, domestic players must work hard if they want to stand out, but there are also mediocre teams that rely heavily on foreign players, allowing them to dominate the court while domestic players simply go through the motions, playing health-preserving basketball. Don't doubt it, this season there are several such mediocre teams in the CBA. In a CBA regular-season match between Shandong and Ningbo, Shandong won 112:102 with five players scoring in double figures. Honestly, Ningbo is a weak team, while Shandong is one of the top four strong teams this season. It's not disgraceful for Ningbo to lose to them, but the way they lost was not right. Why do I say that? Let's take a look at the statistics. In this game, Ningbo attempted 80 shots in total, with foreign player Ma Qi shooting as many as 39 times, almost half of the total attempts. In contrast, the entire Ningbo domestic squad (8 players) only shot 14 times and made 5 of them, with a shooting rate of just 35%. It can be seen that they not only shot less but also had an extremely low shooting rate. On the contrary, foreign players attempted 66 shots, more than five times the number of domestic players. After several years, I really don't know what Ningbo men's…

Shandong Men's Basketball Team staged a thrilling overtime battle at home, ultimately defeating Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team with a score of 121:118. The biggest contributor to this game was undoubtedly Gao Shiyan, who not only scored a career-high 43 points but also continuously stepped up for the team in crucial moments to secure victory. From the beginning of the game, Gao Shiyan displayed an excellent state, scoring 12 points in the first quarter, including 2 out of 3 three-pointers. Every shot he took made the fans hold their breath, and every goal made the whole stadium boil. Especially in the fourth quarter, Gao Shiyan seemed to enter an unstoppable mode, scoring 13 points in a single quarter. The three-pointer he made with 1.3 seconds left was a textbook buzzer-beater that sent the game into overtime. A netizen commented: Honestly, after watching this game, I am convinced. Today, Gao Shiyan is simply on fire, with perfect timing for shooting choices and breakthroughs. Especially that equalizing three-pointer, which he could still steadily hit under tight defense from the opponent, such a big heart is really not something everyone can have. Looking at his stats, he made 6 out of 9 three-pointers and 11 out of 12 free throws, which is simply explosive efficiency. This is what a super scoring guard should look like! Wiggington also played a significant role in this game, scoring 30 points while contributing 3 assists. His breakthrough ability is particularly strong, and each time he has the ball, he can exert great pressure on the opponent's defense. The…

In the CBA regular season, Guangdong suffered an 81-115 defeat against Shanghai. Despite a good start from Guangdong, Shanghai managed to quickly regain the lead after a surge, leaving Guangdong trailing for the remainder of the game. The score continued to widen, ultimately resulting in a crushing loss. Throughout the match, Xu Jie, Xu Xin, Wang Shaojie, and Du Runwang delivered passable performances. Shanghai targeted Xu Jie throughout the game, knowing that restricting him would prevent Guangdong from establishing an offensive rhythm. This led to Xu Jie scoring 11 points with a 5/12 shooting record and 4 turnovers, but he remained one of the better performers on the team. Xu Xin also played well, being effective both under the basket and in drawing opponents, although his status remains relatively low. Wang Shaojie entered the game when the score difference widened, going 2/2 for 4 points and 2 rebounds, not a bad result. Du Runwang had his best three-point shooting performance recently, going 5/10 for 13 points, hopefully maintaining this form. Huang Rongqi, Morand, Walter, Bazley, Zhang Wenyi, Zhang Haojia, Ren Junfei, and Yang Yi all had disappointing performances. Huang Rongqi's main issue is his butterfingers; he crumbles at crucial moments and seems only capable against weaker opponents. Morand faced endless criticism, contributing nothing in the paint. While his previous defensive dominance was commendable, this game saw him constantly missing assignments, leaving Guangdong's interior defense vulnerable. Walter went 1/3 in his six minutes on the court, but did not play further, for reasons unknown. Bazley also underperformed; previously known for his…

In the CBA regular season, the Guangdong team, which had won nine consecutive victories, faced off against the recently strong Shanghai team away from home. At the beginning of the game, Xu Jie made a steal and scored under the basket, followed by another successful shot under the basket. Du Runwang hit a three-pointer, starting with a 9-0 run, while the Shanghai team was scoreless for more than two minutes. Wang Zhelin and Morand got tangled up in their arms, almost leading to a conflict. Liu Zheng and Li Hongquan successively hit key three-pointers. Wang Zhelin grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a strong two points against Morand, overtaking the score and launching a 10-0 scoring wave. Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, showing excellent personal form. Lovett made a fast-break dunk, Bazley hit a crucial three-pointer. Wilson also hit a three-pointer, and Du Feng replaced Xu Jie, scolding him for his unsatisfactory performance. Du Feng remains strict with the CBA's top vote-getter. Li Hongquan and Lovett continued to hit three-pointers, and Wilson hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer. At the end of the first quarter, the Guangdong team trailed 23-31. Li Hongquan scored 15 points with 4 out of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, performing outstandingly. Li Tianrong scored a layup to extend the lead to double digits. Bradley scored a 2+1 against Xu Jie, demonstrating his experience. Xu Jie turned around and hit a key three-pointer, but Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, making it unstoppable. Bazley went on a shooting spree outside the three-point line, playing unreasonably. Jilunwalt didn't play…

The fans of the Tongxi team have recently become the "hot search" on the court, not their team. Imagine that the game has just been played halfway, and the fans began to vent their emotions, smashing water bottles, throwing debris, and even speaking without restraint to the opposing players. This scene is simply like a "classic plot" in a TV series, which makes people shake their heads. In the game against Shanxi, the Tongxi fans committed their old problems again. The referees and players are tired, and what is most speechless is that the scene almost lost control, and both sides almost broke out into conflict. As a result, the league had to punish them twice. However, the problem is that this does not seem to have made these fans remember. However, to put it another way, this game against Guangdong has made the Tongxi team's players perform quite eye-catching. Lin Wei, Leaf, Zhao Baqing and others played passionately, which was completely unlike playing a "life-saving battle". They played quite rhythmically, especially in the third quarter, when they launched a passionate offensive with the Guangdong team. Although they eventually fell behind by 12 points, their performance really had commendable aspects, especially Lin Wei's long-range three-pointer, which was simply stunning the audience. Who would have thought that these players could play such a beautiful game under such great pressure? Looking at the Guangdong team, Xu Jie, Walter, and Bazley's combination is simply a nightmare-level existence. They worked together to score more than 80 points, especially Bazley, whose two dunks directly pressed…

Basketball has a saying called "the heart of a champion," and football calls it "Guo'an always striving for first place." This is the spirit of Beijing people. We may not be strong enough, but we must persevere and maintain a spirit of striving and effort. This season in the CBA league, both Beijing teams have made significant investments during the offseason. The Shougang team has successively signed Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun, adding them to the roster with Zeng Fanbo, Lei Meng, and others, making their paper strength comparable to some championship-contending teams. On the other hand, Beikong is not to be outdone, having signed a package deal with Shenzhen for the frontcourt duo of Salinge and Shen Zijie, with Zhu Songwei joining the team on the perimeter, complemented by foreign players Rile, Tres, and others, making their strength also formidable. However, both teams have not performed as expected this season. Currently, Shougang ranks ninth in the league, while Beikong ranks tenth. Forget about contending for the championship; now, whether they can even enter the playoffs is questionable. In fact, your Beikong lineup, starting with Rile, Salinge, Liu Xiaoyu, Zou Yuchen, Zhu Songwei, and substitutes including Shen Zijie, Tres, Guo Hao, Zhang Fan, Meng Zikai, Liao Saning, Jin Xin, among others, is already a super-luxury battleship in the CBA. These substitute players could start for other teams, like Meng Zikai and Jin Xin, who were once the ironclad starters for Tianjin. But with this current record, aside from the impact of injuries, frankly, Min Lulei really needs to take responsibility.…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Dominates Guangdong Men's Basketball! Xu Jie Targeted, Bazley Without Three-Pointers, Jilun Wat Injured The Shanghai men's basketball team faces off against the Guangdong men's basketball team in a home match! In the first game, Shanghai won by a large margin of 33 points. Returning to their home court for this match, they have no reason to lose and must secure a double kill. Guangdong is at a disadvantage and will need to rely on their three-point shooting to achieve revenge, as it will be difficult to win otherwise. In the first quarter, Guangdong trails Shanghai by 8 points with a score of 23-31. Guangdong took the lead initially with a 9-0 start. Shanghai then responded with a 10-0 run. Following this, Guangdong was dominated by Shanghai on both offense and defense, being completely overwhelmed. Shanghai only needed to restrict Xu Jie to disrupt Guangdong's offensive flow. Their defense led to offense, counterattacks emerged, and accurate three-point shooting naturally widened the gap. In the second quarter, Guangdong continued to struggle with scoring, compounded by poor free-throw performance. They were unable to capitalize on easy points, leaving one to wonder who to blame. Shanghai's offense was also average, so the point difference did not increase significantly. Zhang Haofei had consecutive misses, while Bradsoe scored three points, bringing the difference to 12 points. Xu Jie finally hit a three-pointer, but Wilson threw the ball out of bounds, and Ren Junfei had consecutive misses as well. Both Wilson and Li Hongquan missed their three-point attempts, indicating that both teams were struggling…

China's women's basketball team faced off against Japan in their final friendly match. For this game, China primarily used their substitute lineup for training purposes, while Japan fielded their full-strength team. Yao Ming was also present at the scene to watch the game! In the first quarter, Pan Zhenqi and Yang Shuyu of the Chinese women's basketball team performed outstandingly, scoring both inside and outside, with 6 points and 12 points respectively, accounting for all 18 points of the team. On the Japanese side, there were multiple scorers, and at the end of the first quarter, China trailed by 6 points with a score of 18-24.

Only 4 players from China had scored, while 8 players from Japan had points. In the third quarter, Japan set up targeted defense and maintained their lead with a balanced offensive performance.

In the fourth quarter, Yang Shuyu scored with an open cut to the basket, but Japan then scored 8 points in a row with breakthroughs inside, extending the lead to 19…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, the CBA "Spring Festival Battle" ushered in a focus match, with Guangdong Hongyuan facing Shanghai men's basketball team. After four quarters of competition, Guangdong suffered a crushing defeat to Shanghai with a score of 81-115, ending their nine-game winning streak. Contrary to external expectations, the game lost its suspense from the first half, as Shanghai's offense was relentless while Guangdong struggled like constipation. Adding to the woes, Du Feng's self-destruction, due to an argument with foreign aid Jilunwote, led to his DNP (Did Not Play), prematurely abandoning the game, resulting in another crushing defeat for Guangdong against Shanghai. It is worth noting that in the previous matchup, Guangdong lost by a whopping 33 points, and with this defeat, Shanghai has won a total of 67 points over two games, leaving Guangdong fans in shock! In terms of data, Xu Jie from Guangdong scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists; Bazley had 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists; Morand contributed 5 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists; Zhang Wenyi scored 8 points with 6 assists; and Zhang Haojia had 6 points and 5 rebounds. On the Shanghai side, Li Hongquan scored 21 points, Li Tianrong had 17 points, Lofton contributed 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists; Liu Zheng scored 15 points; and Wang Zhelin had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Guangdong started the game very smoothly, scoring a 9-0 run against Shanghai. However, this turned out to be the only time Guangdong led in the first half. Shanghai quickly responded with an 11-2…

CBA basketball continues to deliver exciting matchups, with Shanxi facing Guangzhou in a game where the disparity in strength between the two teams meant there wasn't much to look forward to in terms of competition. However, Guo Ailun's performance was worth paying attention to, as Beijing Enterprises' form has been inconsistent, and according to relevant information, the team is expected to make further adjustments by signing a foreign player, giving Xu Limin another chance to achieve good results. Will they be able to seize this opportunity and make the most of it? Guo Ailun, affected by injuries, had missed several games before making his return against Shanxi. Prior to this match, he played two games against Guangdong, starting for 30 minutes but failing to score with 7 attempts, grabbing 5 rebounds, completing 7 assists, and making 1 steal, with a +/- of -21. In a game against Xinjiang, he came off the bench for 26 minutes, scoring 6 points with 11 attempts, grabbing 2 rebounds, completing 8 assists, and having a +/- of -13. Despite his efforts and solid defensive play, his offensive efficiency left much to be desired. Most fans believed that Guangzhou would suffer a crushing defeat when they faced Shanxi, ranked third, away from home. However, Guangzhou's performance in the game was impressive, scoring 62 points in the first half and keeping up with their opponents, maintaining a one-point lead. But in the crucial third quarter, Shanxi's superior strength became apparent as they won by 9 points. Both teams scored 27 points in the final quarter, but…
