Playing Full 48 Minutes! Xu Jie Expresses Discontent Post-game! Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng Can't Wait Any Longer! 15 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, and 3 steals, achieving a triple-double for the first time in his career! After the game, Xu Jie once again appeared at the press conference. From winning his first weekly MVP to his first monthly MVP, and then securing his first triple-double in this game, Xu Jie has been on a roll during the second stage of the season! Perhaps many fans believe that Xu Jie's performance is already perfect, as he stands less than 1.8 meters tall yet can grab rebounds over Shen Zijie, sink ultra-long buzzer-beating three-pointers from two meters beyond the arc, and play full 48 minutes against an opponent's relentless defense! However, Xu Jie is not satisfied with such a performance! At the post-game press conference, he expressed dissatisfaction with both the team's and his own performance. Speaking about the team, he said that they did not perform well in this game, becoming complacent after taking the lead, which ultimately led to being overtaken by the opponent. As for himself, he admitted that he did not handle the ball well enough, making many mistakes, even giving the opponent direct layup opportunities after some simple errors, all of which need to be reviewed on video! From Xu Jie's remarks, it can be seen that his dissatisfaction with his performance stems more from turnovers. Indeed, he had as many as 7 turnovers in this game, but is this really just his problem? Obviously not,…

The CBA season has progressed to this point, and only now have we discovered four local players capable of playing tough battles. Let's see who they are? First: Wang Ruize (Qingdao Team / Avg. 40.9 minutes) Wang Ruize, 29 years old, stands at 1.99 meters tall and plays as a forward for Qingdao Team, serving as their core player. In this season's regular season, he played in 22 games with an average playing time of 40.8 minutes, ranking first in the league. During this period, he averaged 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, with a shooting percentage of 44.5%. Selected in the second round, fifth overall in 2019, he has become increasingly outstanding, with comprehensive skills, excellent offensive and defensive capabilities on the wing, and strong performance in critical moments. His average playing time truly demonstrates his "iron man" qualities. Second: Xu Jie (Guangdong / Avg. 36.3 minutes) Xu Jie, 24 years old, stands at 1.79 meters tall and plays as a guard for the team. This season, he played in 27 regular-season games, averaging 36.2 minutes (ranked 13th in the league), scoring 15.9 points, grabbing 3.6 rebounds, and dishing out 7.9 assists, setting a new personal career high in assists. Not only does he have offensive capabilities, but he can also connect the team's offense and drive his teammates to score. During Hu Mingxuan's absence, Xu Jie took on more responsibilities and performed at a "small foreign aid" level. For example, in Guangdong's narrow 120-111 victory over Tianjin, he played for 43 minutes, shooting 7-for-18 for 16 points…

CBA League: Behind Liaoning Men's Basketball's Close Loss to Qingdao, How Many Unknown Secrets Are Hidden The CBA league match where Liaoning men's basketball narrowly lost to Qingdao hides many secrets unknown to the public. Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that in this game, Liaoning could not afford to lose in the fourth quarter, which was lackluster and relaxed. The defensive problems were too big, and Liaoning should reflect on this well and play better in future games. Yang Hanshen knows how to play against Han Dejun now and also knows how to defend him. He is no longer afraid of Han Dejun, which is a significant improvement. It seems that Yang Hanshen has never faced Zhou Qi before. Zhou Qi is very agile, and their core strength should be about the same. If he can defeat Zhou Qi, the top domestic center, there will only be Hu Jinqiu left. Currently, Yang Hanshen cannot defend Hu Jinqiu because Hu Jinqiu is faster than him, with more diverse offensive methods and strong finishing ability. He temporarily cannot defend Hu Jinqiu. The NBA regular season requires playing 82 games each season, which places extremely high demands on tall centers' physical fitness. Playing one season there is equivalent to two seasons in the CBA in terms of the number of games, and the intensity, speed, and rhythm of the games are three levels higher than the CBA. In this game, Liaoning's overall performance against Qingdao was mediocre. Liaoning had four national players injured, one remaining, plus a top small foreign aid…

Translation of the article content into English: The CBA season is halfway through, and most teams have finalized their roster additions. Some teams may still make adjustments, but the overall landscape has been set. The CBA rankings best reflect the state of each team. Prior to this, Liaoning was narrowly defeated by Qingdao on free throws, and Xinjiang suffered an upset loss to Tongxi, with the rankings now updated. Let's take a look together. The most stable team remains Guangsha Men's Basketball, topping the charts with 25 wins and 4 losses. As long as they maintain their current pace, securing the regular-season championship seems assured. However, Guangsha's biggest issue is the injury risk; key players Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui have nearly become "glass men" in recent years. Guangsha has a great chance to compete for the 2025 championship and fill the regret of having no titles in their history. We hope the lineup can stay intact for the playoffs. Qingdao ranks second, Liaoning third, and Shanxi fourth. Qingdao and Shanxi are considered dark horses; it was unexpected how strong these two teams would be at the start of the season. However, they lack the ability to contend for the championship. In the playoffs, their weaknesses will be exposed, especially Shanxi Men's Basketball, which is unstable on both offense and defense. Their fast-paced style naturally unsettles opponents but also leads to high turnovers and an inability to secure rebounds. Liaoning is still a championship contender. Zhang Zhenlin is actually the most crucial part of the defending champion's frontcourt; his impact,…

In the WCBA arena, several exciting matches have taken place. Let's start with Sichuan Women's Basketball Team's game. The match between Sichuan and Zhejiang was a complete blowout from start to finish. In the first quarter, Sichuan gave Zhejiang a harsh "welcome" by scoring an impressive 32 points. They were incredibly fierce! Zhejiang's offense couldn't get going at all, without even a decent counterattack. By halftime, Sichuan had already built a massive 26-point lead, giving the impression that they had secured the victory early on. In the second half, Sichuan continued their dominance, not only maintaining but also gradually expanding their lead. They ultimately won by a staggering 41-point margin, a truly crushing performance. Zhejiang could only cover their faces in defeat. Li Meng scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, but the team's overall performance was lackluster. Only Zhang Min (10 points) and Chen Yijun (11 points) managed to score in double digits, while the rest of the team was virtually invisible. On the other hand, Sichuan had a full team effort, playing with great intensity. Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Han Xu, Xiao Tong, Jia Saiqi, and Zhang Wanglai all contributed, showcasing their formidable collective strength. Some netizens commented: "Sichuan really played too easily in this game; it felt like Zhejiang was just a target for them to shoot at." Compared to other matches, Sichuan's performance was overwhelmingly dominant. Next up is Shanxi Women's Basketball Team's game, which they played away against Shijiazhuang. Shanxi played steadily, although neither team pulled away in the first quarter, with Shanxi leading…

The main event for the Chinese men's basketball team in 2025 is the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup. The third window period of the Asian Cup qualifiers will be held on February 20 and 23, with matches against Japan and Guam respectively. The official tournament dates for the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup are August 5 to 17, and it will be held in Saudi Arabia. It is now mid-January, and the Chinese men's basketball team will reconvene in February to prepare for the Asian qualifiers after the New Year. The men's basketball roster will also be announced soon, but this time it is different from previous rosters because three national players have been ruled out due to injuries and will not be able to participate in the Asian qualifiers. They are Zhang Zhenlin, Hu Mingxuan, and Jiao Boqiao. Zhang Zhenlin and Hu Mingxuan have suffered a recurrence of old injuries, while Jiao Boqiao has a confirmed ligament tear. Whether he undergoes surgery or not is yet to be determined, but regardless, he will miss the February Asian qualifiers. Therefore, Coach Guo Shiqiang has no choice but to look for new talent. He has even gone to the United States to observe new stars such as Zhao Weilun, Wang Junjie, and Xun Sannan. The purpose is clear; Guo Shiqiang wants to cultivate them for the future. Although these individuals are the hope for the future of the men's basketball team, they cannot solve the urgent needs of the team. Coach Guo Shiqiang's main priority now is to find players who…

The CBA regular season is in full swing, with Qingdao hosting Liaoning at home. Qingdao currently stands at 7th place with 19 wins and 10 losses, while Liaoning has 2 consecutive victories, with a record of 20 wins and 9 losses, ranking 3rd. In this match, Zhang Zhenlin continued to be absent and will not return for the second stage. After a fierce battle, Qingdao managed to pull off a stunning comeback victory against Liaoning. In this game, only Fu Hao and Fredette from Liaoning scored in double figures, with the rest of the team underperforming. Despite Fredette scoring a game-high 41 points, he was unable to save Liaoning from defeat. The main reason for the loss in this game is largely due to Yang Ming's responsibility, as he failed to call timeouts when needed and did not make timely substitutions. Yan Shouqi's performance on the court went unnoticed, and Fredette was left exhausted without being replaced. Zhao Jiwei, who was out of form, was also not substituted, and Wang Lanqin was taken off after scoring 7 points and making one mistake. It's unclear what the reasoning behind these decisions was. Wang Lanqin played well in this game but was benched, just like in the last few minutes of the previous game where the same players were on the court, resulting in a narrow lead of only 3 points. This time, Liaoning lost outright, leaving many wondering about Yang Ming's thought process. In the post-game interview, Yang Ming stated that he takes full responsibility for the loss and would accept…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has made significant efforts in introducing foreign players this season. After parting ways with their small forward foreign player, Lemont, they have shifted their focus to reinforcing their frontcourt. It is reported that foreign player Godwin is close to signing with Shanxi Men's Basketball Team and has already arrived in Taiyuan. If all goes well, he will participate in the game against Tianjin Pioneers on Wednesday of this week. Prior to signing Godwin, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team already had four foreign players: Goodwin, Diawara, Giles, and Faye. With Godwin joining the team, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team will have to make a choice between Giles and Faye, and Coach Pan Jiang will need to upgrade the frontline lineup once again. Godwin is 25 years old, stands at 2.06 meters tall, and plays as a power forward/center. He was an undrafted player from the 2022 NBA draft and has previously played in leagues in France, Hungary, and Germany. Godwin started his career in the Hungarian league with Debrecen, averaging 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds last season in the French league Bourg-en-Bresse, with a shooting percentage of 77.6% and a free throw percentage of 45.9%. From a technical standpoint, Godwin is a blue-collar frontcourt player without playmaking abilities and lacks mid-to-long-range shooting capabilities. His free throw percentage has consistently been around 50%-60%. Godwin possesses explosive athleticism and frequently performs powerful dunks on the court. He is very proactive in chasing rebounds and has decent rim protection skills. He is also adept at setting screens. In a run-and-gun team like…

Liaoning Basketball Loses Again to Qingdao, Yang Ming's Lineup Choices Spark Outrage, Legendary Liaoning Players Are Furious On the evening of January 12th, Beijing time, the CBA regular season saw Qingdao Men's Basketball host Liaoning Men's Basketball. The last time these two teams met, Liaoning Men's Basketball was not in full strength and could be described as a weakened lineup, resulting in a victory for Qingdao Men's Basketball. This time around, although Liaoning Men's Basketball's main player Zhang Zhenlin was still unable to play, the lineup was much more complete than the previous encounter, and the fourth foreign aid, Weber, had also arrived. Shouldn't they have been able to avenge their previous defeat? However, after the game started, Liaoning Men's Basketball's performance was disappointing. This disappointment could be seen from the starting lineup: Li Xiaoxu, Zhao Jiwei, Yan Shouqi, Wells, and Patton. Li Xiaoxu and Zhao Jiwei were fine, and Wells with Patton was also acceptable, but what made Yan Shouqi worthy of being in the starting lineup? This disappointment became apparent from the beginning of the game. Yan Shouqi was tasked with defending against Qingdao's small foreign aid, Wessex, but he couldn't stop him at all. In fact, because he couldn't stop him, Wessex seemed to have divine assistance, forcing Yang Ming to replace him with Li Huyi, which led to some improvement in the situation. Zhao Jiwei, on the other hand, continued his poor form in this game. His defense was still passable, but his offensive organization was terrible. Li Xiaoxu, although he scored crucial three-pointers and big…

James Webb III, the fourth foreign player signed by Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, has officially joined the team in Shenyang, attracting significant attention. Many fans eagerly awaited his arrival, as his addition to the team promises a stronger lineup for Liaoning in the upcoming season. On the morning of his arrival, Webb made his first appearance, passing a physical examination and meeting face-to-face with the entire Liaoning team for the first time. This day was undoubtedly an exciting moment for Liaoning fans. The newly joined player, James Webb III, carries not only a name that exudes authority but also the expectation of bringing greater achievements to the team. Liaoning is on the path to achieving a four-peat, and his joining is seen as a step towards that goal. Coach Yang Ming welcomed Webb with high expectations, saying, "I hope you can help us achieve a four-peat." Yang Ming does not view him merely as a foreign player but as a crucial part of the team's journey towards their target. Webb's first public statement provided reassurance to the fans. He expressed his determination simply and directly: "I will contribute all my strength to help the team achieve a four-peat." This straightforward declaration is likely to delight fans and increase their expectations, as they await his actions to prove his worth. Upon joining the team, Webb immediately immersed himself in training. During the morning practice session, after a brief greeting with his teammates, he started shooting drills, displaying a level of focus that conveys a very professional demeanor.
