CBA Round 29 featured several intense matchups, with some games being particularly competitive. In the clash between league leaders Guangsha Men's Basketball and second-ranked Shanxi Men's Basketball, Guangsha emerged victorious with a 33-point advantage over their opponents. Other notable matches saw Guangdong Men's Basketball defeat Qingdao, Liaoning Men's Basketball narrowly win against Beikong, and Zhejiang Men's Basketball secure a significant victory over Beijing. Additionally, there were two major upsets in this round, with Xinjiang Men's Basketball losing at home to Fujian, who were ranked last, and Shandong Men's Basketball falling to Shenzhen, a team lower in the standings. Let's take a look at the specific matchups and results of this round. Following these matches, the CBA rankings have seen significant changes. Guangsha Men's Basketball remains at the top, while Shanxi Men's Basketball, despite their loss, still holds the second position, with no change in the rankings for these two teams. However, Liaoning Men's Basketball, despite an average performance in this round, managed to defeat Beikong Men's Basketball and climbed three places to secure the third spot. With new foreign player Weber now joining the team, and Patton already performing well after representing the team, Liaoning Men's Basketball is expected to make a strong comeback. Shandong Men's Basketball suffered an upset loss to Shenzhen Men's Basketball in this round, dropping one place in the rankings but still maintaining a position within the top four. Zhejiang Men's Basketball claimed victory over Beijing Men's Basketball in this round, with Zhou Qi's absence having a considerable impact on Beijing. This win propelled Zhejiang Men's…

Guangdong Hongyuan, a team with a history of being a champion in the CBA, is now moving forward with anxiety and unease. To be honest, when you see Xu Jie gritting his teeth on the court, Hu Mingxuan unable to appear due to injury, and the team struggling to cope with the shortage of small foreign players, you might also ask, "Can Guangdong really hold up?" Behind the seemingly competitive record, there are actually a series of problems: high-load operation of the guard line, lack of manpower on the front line, and even young players who have been abandoned need to step up to the "front line". If these problems continue to worsen, the consequences may not be easy to deal with. Speaking of Guangdong's current guard line, it is simply "a lone fight by one person." After Hu Mingxuan was injured and absent, Xu Jie became the only pillar on this line. Especially in the second stage of the CBA, his average playing time reached 40 minutes. What does this mean? For many players, this is already overloading, let alone a small guard like Xu Jie. But Xu Jie has managed to bear this pressure, fighting game after game, always staying calm and focused, pulling the team out of trouble. For example, on January 6 against Shenzhen, his key performance helped Guangdong catch up and eventually overtake the victory, stabilizing the morale of the team. This kind of performance is admirable. But to be honest, basketball is not just about one person. Relying solely on Xu Jie will only…

On January 10th, Beijing time, the 29th round of the CBA regular season ushered in an intense competition. In this round of events, Liaoning Team hosted a thrilling match against Beikong Team, eventually winning with a score of 104 to 101. In fact, by the end of the game, Liaoning Team had already made the outcome of the game seem certain with their previous excellent performance. It was thought that victory was in hand, but who could have expected that in the final stages of the game, the Liaoning Team players may have become complacent due to feeling that victory was within reach, resulting in a slack situation. This slackness almost allowed Beikong Team to seize the opportunity for a comeback. Such a thrilling scene greatly angered Liaoning Team's head coach, Yang Ming. Even though the team ultimately won the game, Yang Ming still found it difficult to suppress his anger. After the game, he severely criticized the entire team, stating that the players' performance was simply unacceptable, and their overly arrogant attitude meant they did not take the game seriously enough. Such a careless game state really made Coach Yang Ming extremely dissatisfied! After the game, a series of messages came from the Liaoning Team side, totaling five aspects of 3 concerns and 2 joys. No wonder Coach Yang Ming would appear extremely dissatisfied, after all, although this game was won, there were indeed many problems exposed. The first is the performance of the local players on the court. Taking the total points scored throughout the game as an…

In the remarkable achievements of the Chinese women's basketball team in recent years, the WCBA league has undoubtedly played a significant role, cultivating a large number of local stars and enhancing the overall strength of the women's basketball team. However, after 21 rounds of matches in this season's WCBA league, the performance of some national players has significantly declined, surprising fans and experts. This article will conduct an in-depth analysis of three national players who have relatively regressed in their performance and explore the reasons behind it. First Place: Li Yuan (Average 6.4 points, 5.1 assists)‌ Li Yuan, 24 years old, 1.70 meters tall, plays as a guard and has always been one of the core players of Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team. Although she possesses good overall vision and passing skills, her performance this season has clearly declined. In 19 regular-season games this season, her average score dropped to 6.4 points, with 5.1 assists, a significant decrease from last season's 10.8 points and 4.8 assists. The obvious decline in scoring has become a focus of attention. Analysis:‌ Li Yuan's regression is closely related to the overall decline in performance of Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team. As the runner-up of last season's finals, the team's foreign aid changes may have affected the team's overall cooperation, especially the departure of foreign aid Jones, which deprived the team of its past firepower support. At the same time, Li Yuan's outbreak last season was an important part of the team's achievement, and her failure to replicate this performance this season may be related…

In recent times, the domestic CBA league has been experiencing a tumultuous period, starting with Zhao Rui's dissatisfaction with the refereeing decision that led to him shoving a referee and receiving a five-game suspension. This was followed by Zhang Xingliang from the Guangzhou team trending on social media for staying up all night to study English with his girlfriend, which exposed a lack of emotional control and self-discipline. Additionally, fans have criticized the frequent occurrence of unsportsmanlike conduct on the court, such as pulling opponents, tripping, swinging elbows, and diving, among others, all in an attempt to win at any cost. On January 10th, in the 29th round of the CBA league, Guangdong defeated Qingdao 105-96 at home, ending Qingdao's four-game winning streak. Throughout the match, there were not only intense confrontations but also some controversial moments. After the game started, Qingdao took the lead with the outstanding performances of Mickey and Weatherspoon, leading Guangdong 56-47 at halftime. However, the turning point came in the third quarter when Guangdong launched a fierce counterattack, scoring 34-23 in that quarter to successfully overtake the score and ultimately defeat Qingdao Guoxin 105-96, securing their fifth consecutive victory. During the third quarter, Shandong player Guo Qifang attempted to deceive the referees by performing a ridiculous 360-degree spin while defending against Guangdong's foreign player Jilunwater. This behavior was immediately penalized as a technical foul by the referees and provoked the dissatisfaction of the spectators. Guo Qifang, who entered the professional league through the CBA draft in 2023 as a college player, has been in the…

In the 27th round of the second stage of this season's CBA regular season, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team faced off against Tianjin Men's Basketball Team in a fiery match. Despite Tianjin putting significant pressure on Guangdong in the latter stages of the game and even reducing the point difference to single digits at one point, Guangdong ultimately secured a victory with a score of 120-111, thanks to the outstanding performances of Xu Jie, Jerian Grant, and Morand. This win marked their fourth consecutive victory, while Tianjin suffered their sixth consecutive loss. However, this match also revealed some issues within the Guangdong team. Their main guard, Xu Jie, showed signs of physical exhaustion on the court, indicating that Guangdong urgently needs to introduce a suitable ball-handling foreign player to truly resolve their offensive difficulties. Coincidentally, Zhejiang recently announced the cancellation of the registration of their foreign player, Kobe Simmons, which could be a positive signal for Guangdong. Originally, both Guangdong and Zhejiang had shown keen interest in Daejon Davis, who previously played for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. However, Davis' three-point shooting percentage in the development league is less than 30%, leading many fans to hold reservations about him. If Zhejiang were to choose him, Guangdong might have to give up on this option. After all, Davis' current form does not entirely align with the type of foreign player Guangdong requires, and this season is not the best time for Guangdong to make a championship push. If Zhejiang signs Davis, they would be giving up the possibility of signing Kobe Simmons, which…

Ferguson enjoyed a barbecue and juice in a large house, scoring 31 points, grabbing 9 rebounds, and dishing out 4 assists to help defeat Sichuan Men's Basketball. Alongside his trainer Wallace, they prepared and savored their own meals, enjoying the feast with fresh juices. Wallace, as Liaoning Basketball's trainer, was most present for Zhao Jiwei during his injury period. He assisted him with resistance training using elastic bands and more, aiming for the quickest recovery possible. The young players of Liaoning Basketball fought bravely on the court, which would not have been possible without the silent contributions of the staff behind them. In the match against Sichuan, Patton was given significant playing time. Yang Ming fielded a new frontcourt lineup featuring Patton and Fu Hao, with Zhao Jiwei, Yan Shouqi, and Wells forming the backcourt. This new starting lineup did not give Liaoning an advantage at the beginning. Patton played very actively, as seen when he aggressively returned to defense and blocked a fast break by Maric. Upon reviewing the video, it was indeed an interference call, even though the ball hit the backboard first, demonstrating Patton's relentless effort on the court. Statistically, Patton not only outperforms Ture but also shows better ability and attitude. After the game, Yang Ming emphasized Patton's positive attitude and professionalism, stating that as long as there are no issues with his abilities, he will be a valuable asset once he integrates and gels with the team. Zhao Jiwei remained a pivotal player in this game, providing multiple precise assists to enable his teammates to…

Translation of the article content into English: With the conclusion of the 29th round of the CBA regular season, the preparations for the Chinese men's basketball team have gradually entered a critical period, especially with the Asian Cup approaching. Fans' focus has shifted to which players are likely to be selected for the national team. Through the performance of the players in this round, many have shown excellent competitive form and individual abilities. Below are five outstanding players from this round who could be key figures for the Chinese men's basketball team in upcoming international competitions: Sun Minghui (Guangsha Team) Round Performance: 18 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals Season Data: Averaging 14.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.7 steals Analysis: As Guangsha's core guard, Sun Minghui demonstrated comprehensive skills in the game against Shanxi, particularly in offensive organization and defense, helping his team achieve a big victory. His assist and steal capabilities rank first in the league, with stable performances. As long as he remains healthy, Sun Minghui still possesses the ability to enter the national team. Xu Jie (Guangdong Team) Round Performance: 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists Season Data: Averaging 16 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists Analysis: As Guangdong's main guard, Xu Jie took on more responsibility for organizing and scoring in the absence of Hu Mingxuan, showcasing his "all-round" player characteristics. His assist and scoring abilities have reached career highs, especially in crucial moments, making him worthy of national team attention. Li Tianrong (Shanghai Team) Round Performance: 31 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists Season Data:…

The injury situation of the Liaoning men's basketball team has significantly improved recently. Zhao Jiwei's return, although his offensive state has not yet returned to its peak, his performance in organizing the offense is not to be underestimated. As the core point guard of the team, Zhao Jiwei's comeback has made the team's operation smoother. Whether it is in terms of advancing speed or tactical execution, Zhao Jiwei's return has brought a higher level of integrity to Liaoning, helping the team develop steadily. At the same time, Yan Shouqi's return also had a positive impact on the team. This shooter's three-point shooting ability is extremely stable, especially in critical moments, Yan Shouqi's several long-range shots helped Liaoning resolve many crises. Now, with the return of two key players, Liaoning men's basketball team's combat effectiveness has been significantly enhanced, injecting more confidence into the upcoming games. The inside line is a major shortcoming for Liaoning men's basketball team this season. Due to foreign aid issues, the team's competitiveness in the inside line has been restricted. However, Patton's joining has alleviated this problem. Standing at 2 meters 11, he possesses strong under-the-basket confrontation ability, capable of forming threats on the defensive end and providing strong support on the offensive end. Patton's gradual integration not only strengthens the depth of the team's inside line but also helps Liaoning stabilize the situation in multiple critical moments. Although his adaptation period is still ongoing, judging from his current performance, Patton is undoubtedly an important enhancement to the team's inside line strength. James-Webber's joining adds more…

Shanxi Fenjiu, the dark horse of this season, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Zhejiang Guangsha, exposing their lack of talent in the No. 1 position for ball control and operation. It is reported that after the mid-season transfer window opens, Shanxi Fenjiu offered a 2-for-1 deal to Jiangsu Kendingya for national-level guard Cui Xiaolong, using young interior player Lv Jiahui plus cash. Since Cui Xiaolong has agreed to the personal terms offered by Shanxi Fenjiu, the two clubs are close to reaching a deal, with only minor details left to be finalized. The main framework of the deal will be cash-based, with the addition of young players as a sweetener, mainly because the rules stipulate that mid-season trades must involve player exchanges; otherwise, they can only claim free agents. Cui Xiaolong falls into the former category, and it is not yet clear whether Lv Jiahui will be loaned or transferred. Under the foreign aid policy of 4 quarters and 7 rotations, Lv Jiahui cannot get playing time. As a national youth power forward, it would be better for him to go to Jiangsu Kendingya, which lacks tall interior players, rather than waste his talent on the bench. Cui Xiaolong is the tall point guard that Shanxi Fenjiu urgently needs. If he joins, it will undoubtedly add another layer of defense to the perimeter for Shanxi Fenjiu. This trade is beneficial for both the players and the team, and hopefully, the CBA league will have more personnel mobility. After losing at home to Fujian Xingxing, who is at…
