The 33rd round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued with a focus on the fierce competition between the strong Guangdong men's basketball team and the dark horse Tongxi team. Ultimately, Guangdong won 112-94 against Tongxi with outstanding performances from Xu Jie, Jeron Walters, Bazley, Zhang Wenyi, and others. It is worth noting that after this victory, Guangdong has won nine consecutive victories and climbed to fifth place in the standings. Despite the absence of star player Hu Mingxuan, Guangdong was able to display such a dominant force, with Zhang Wenyi's performance at the No. 2 position becoming the highlight. As the main guard of the Chinese men's basketball team and the CBA All-Star vote king, Xu Jie continued to deliver phenomenal statistics in this game. Jeron Walters and Morand continued to play the role of top foreign aid in the league, and Bazley's integration with Guangdong is gradually improving. Zhang Wenyi's ability to carry the No. 2 position without Hu Mingxuan is the key to Du Feng's winning streak. Unlike Zhang Haojia, Xu Xin, and others who still have significant advantages and disadvantages at the No. 3 and No. 5 positions, Zhang Wenyi has basically established his own characteristics at the No. 2 position. Although Zhang Wenyi's defensive capabilities are still a focus for other teams, his compatibility with Xu Jie, Jeron Walters, Morand, Bazley, and others is even better than Hu Mingxuan. In fact, although Guangdong currently only has Xu Jie with the ability to thread the needle in the backcourt, the three foreign…

The Asian Cup qualifiers are currently underway, and the Chinese men's basketball team previously defeated Guam with a score of 101-53. With two wins and one loss in three matches, it is only a matter of time before they advance to the main event of the Asian Cup. After Guo Shiqiang became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he has heavily relied on a group of young players, including Zeng Fanbo, Hu Mingxuan, Yang Hanshen, and others, who have not disappointed. Especially Zeng Fanbo, who displayed his extraordinary talent in the game against Guam, effortlessly making three-pointers and dunks, scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block in the game, which is quite puzzling as Zeng Fanbo is not even the core player of Beijing Shougang. Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Mongolia, with a very high chance of securing a second consecutive victory. The official announcement from the Chinese men's basketball team also revealed that three players have temporarily withdrawn and returned to their clubs, namely Zou Yuchen, Lu Wenbo, and Liu Li Jia. Guo Shiqiang will lead a squad of 14 players into battle. The lineup for the Chinese men's basketball team against Mongolia is expected to include the following: Guards: Gao Shiyan, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Wang Lanqin, Cheng Shaipeng, Xu Jie Forwards: Zhang Ning, Zhu Junlong, Zeng Fanbo, Fu Hao, Du Runwang Centers: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hanshen, Yu Jiahao The Chinese men's basketball team is expected to field a starting lineup of Liao Sanning, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Zeng…

Not Just the Referees, Finally Understanding the Reasons Behind Beijing BAIC's Regrettable Loss to Zhejiang Guangsha The hot topic among netizens has pointed out incisively that Fang Chaoju's performance remains stable as ever. However, Fang Shuo's single serve error and two missed three-point attempts at the end of the game have cost Beijing Men's Basketball Team their hopes. Some even suggest that Zhou Qi should have taken the shot instead, feeling that he would have been more reliable, especially considering his open position. Despite his superstar temperament, Fang Shuo seems to lack real value in other aspects. While it's true that the referees may have slightly favored Beijing during the home game, it wasn't excessive. The problem lies with Beijing's team, which, much like India's multinational arsenal, appears high-end but fails to integrate effectively. This results in spending a fortune on subpar basketball. Even though Zhou Qi's peak performance days may be behind him, young players like Xiao Zeng Lei are in their prime. With a capable foreign player, the outcome could have been different. When Jerman is stifled, the team struggles to recover. It's puzzling how an issue so obvious to a regular fan can go unnoticed by the club. Players play for money, but those who only see money don't play well. Zhou Qi's presence on any team seems to hinder their ability to perform under pressure. Fang Shuo and Xiao Chuan should consider stepping down and giving opportunities to younger players. Their contributions on the court often lead to more losses than wins. Xu Limin needs to…

CBA News: Shen Zijie Out for the Season, Xinjiang Signs Sanwell, Liaoning Replaces Foreign Player January 21, 2025, Beijing Time -‌ The CBA season is already halfway through, and for Beikong Men's Basketball, their recent performance has not been optimistic. It is well-known that last season, Min Lulei successfully activated Beikong and led them to the playoffs, which prompted Beikong to increase their investment during the offseason, bringing in strong reinforcements such as Salinge, Shen Zijie, and Zhu Songwei. However, unexpectedly, after the reinforcement, Beikong Men's Basketball did not see significant changes in their performance, and there was even a decline at one point. In order to ensure better results, recently, Beikong Men's Basketball adjusted their coaching staff, bringing in Biedfu to assist Min Lulei in leading the team. At the same time, Beikong also faced injury issues. It is understood that Shen Zijie was injured during a game against Shenzhen Men's Basketball. According to the examination results, the situation is not particularly serious, but he needs two weeks of rest. This means that Shen Zijie will miss the remaining games of the second stage, confirming his absence for the remainder of the second stage. As a CBA powerhouse, this season, Xinjiang Men's Basketball's foreign aid configuration has not been great. Their three foreign players have performed moderately, and with aspirations to challenge for the championship, such a lineup is clearly insufficient. Therefore, recently, Xinjiang Men's Basketball has decided to adjust their foreign aid. According to the latest news, Xinjiang Men's Basketball has officially offered to sign Sanwell, hoping to…

Shandong Men's Basketball Team faced off against Ningbo Men's Basketball Team at home, a game with little suspense as one wonders how the third-ranked team could lose. It was inevitable that Ningbo would not see the possibility of winning and would suffer a ten-game losing streak. In the first quarter, Shandong completely dominated Ningbo with a score of 36-17, a 19-point gap. The disparity in strength and form was significant, with Shandong overwhelming Ningbo in all aspects, playing very relaxedly. Ningbo had no resistance, with poor foreign aid and even worse local players. Gao Shiyan is known as the "master baker," Guo Kai as the "mid-range king," Moore as the "three-point sharpshooter," and Kuma Jie as the "cake-eating master." In the second quarter, after readjusting, Shandong continued to control the pace of the game, further widening the point difference. Although Ningbo's offense improved somewhat, it was far from enough, especially since they couldn't defend well, with a defense riddled with holes. Chen Peidong scored an open three-pointer, creating a 25-point gap. Even the referees couldn't bear it, turning Kuma Jie's good block into goaltending, awarding Ningbo two points. The two teams maintained a gap of around 20 points, with Shandong not expanding it and Ningbo unable to reduce it, ending the half with a score of 63-45. Statistics: Machi 23 points, Maddion 11 points 4 rebounds, Lacossevic 6 points 6 rebounds, Wang Junjie 2 points, Wang Zirui 5 assists 12 steals, Howard 1 assist; Kuma Jie 14 points 4 rebounds 2 steals, Moore 13 points, Guo Kai 8 points, Zhang…

Ding Yanhang's Struggle to Return to the CBA Brothers who wish to see Ding Yanhang donning the Guangzhou men's basketball uniform and taking the stage alongside Guo Ailun may have to wait a bit longer, as he has been kept out of the league due to physical testing... Ding Yanhang's first physical test took place on the 25th of last month, where he passed the strength test (bench press + squat), but scored 0 in the shooting test (not reaching the required number of attempts, 23 times), and chose to skip the 17-turn event. Therefore, he still has two more opportunities for retesting, which will include the shooting and 17-turn events. The first retest was held the day before yesterday, but the results were still not optimistic. In the shooting event, Ding Yanhang made 12 out of 23 shots in 2 minutes, with a lower hit rate than the previous time, but at least he met the requirement (23 attempts) and achieved an official score that can be recorded effectively; However, in the "devilish" 17-turn event, he stumbled again (PS: The 17-turn is a shuttle run between the sidelines of the basketball court (15 meters), running 17 times, 4 sets, with a 2-minute rest between sets, and scores are awarded based on the average of the 4 sets, with a full score of 150 points and a pass mark of 90 points). It is reported that Ding Yanhang's passing score for the 17-turn is an average of 64 seconds, but his best result was 64 seconds and 09 milliseconds in…

In the basketball world, the transfer and return of players always attract the attention of fans. Recently, it has been reported that Wu Changze, a young power forward who once played for Liaoning Men's Basketball Team and was hailed by fans as Hanamichi Sakuragi, is likely to "eat crow" and choose to re-sign with Wu Changze. This news quickly sparked heated discussions within the basketball circle. Wu Changze, this young front-line general, has been highly regarded since his debut for his excellent physical qualities and positive attitude. However, his career has not been smooth sailing. At a certain stage in Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, he was once abandoned by head coach Yang Ming, which cast a shadow over his professional prospects. During that period, Wu Changze seemed to have fallen into a low point in his career, and the outside world began to question his future. However, fate is always full of variables. After being abandoned, Wu Changze got a chance to rise again in Jilin. His three-point shooting became more stable, and his finishing ability also improved significantly. Interestingly, the current Wu Changze has stronger three-point and finishing abilities than Fu Hao, another power forward of Liaoning Basketball Team. This not only greatly boosted his self-confidence but also made the coaching staff of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team see his limitless potential in the future. Now, with the news that Liu Ziqing intends to sign back Wu Changze, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team fans are undoubtedly looking forward to the return of this young player. As one of the decision-makers of…

In the last round of the league, Shandong Men's Basketball Team defeated Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team. Although they maintained an advantage in the score throughout the game, the process was not easy. The efficient performance of Jiangsu's Jackson and Goodwin kept the home team, Shandong, on their toes, with the game remaining tense until the final minutes before a definitive conclusion was reached. Throughout the match, Coach Qiu Biao repeatedly emphasized the importance of "respecting the opponent," both during halftime and after the game. He stressed that teams should not judge their opponents based solely on rankings. Currently, there is no clear distinction between strong and weak teams in the league, especially under the 4-quarter, 7-foreign player policy, where anything can happen in a game. A team may dominate the entire match, but a few lapses in concentration could lead to being caught up or even overtaken by the opponent. Shandong Men's Basketball Team will soon face another opponent, Ningbo Men's Basketball Team! Traditionally, Ningbo Men's Basketball Team is considered a bottom-feeder in the league. However, this season, Ningbo has transformed from its previous slump, surpassing teams like Sichuan, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Fujian in terms of performance. Did you read that correctly? It includes Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team. In the last round, Shandong struggled against Jiangsu, so they have even less reason to underestimate the stronger Ningbo team. In the last round, Ningbo played fiercely against Tianjin Men's Basketball Team away from home, with the game remaining close until the very end. With only 34 seconds left, Tianjin led by…

It's no wonder that Beijing BAIC narrowly lost to Zhejiang Guangsha, as fans exposed the inside story of the defeat, with Xu Limin being fooled around. Netizens hotly debated and pointed out incisively: Fang Shuo consecutively made serving errors in two games, truly a super star! Fang Shuo served the ball, Fan Ziming received it, this is simply not thinking about winning, right? Two big guys, can't they give Jerman a clear shot? If not, let Xiao Zeng serve it, he's tall with a good view and won't be blocked. Fang, the super star, really did well, watching for a long time as people intercepted the volleyball, the intention to serve couldn't be more obvious. As an old national team player, Fang Shuo has repeatedly made passing and serving mistakes and missed shots many times, what has he been practicing all these years? Why does Xu Limin continue to rely on him? What should BAIC do in the future? A series of problems need to be solved quickly, a large number of players really need to leave, but who will take the lead? From the era of Marbury and Sun Yue, I have always been a fan of Beijing Shougang. This season, the introduction of Chen Yingjun and Zhou Qi gave us hope for the championship again. However, this coach is really mediocre and lacks any courage. Fang, the super star, now has nothing, making mistakes or taking wild shots, often performing like a mole, why is he still on the court at critical moments? The three foreign players, one…

The Unstoppable Veteran in CBA: Jones' Phenomenal Performance at Age 36 In the fourth round of the intense CBA regular season, Jilin team managed to secure a hard-fought victory against Jiangsu team, winning 107-101 on the road and achieving an impressive two-game winning streak. This triumph was largely attributed to the remarkable performance of their foreign player, Jones, who played like a godsend, scoring an astonishing 46 points, contributing 13 rebounds and 14 assists, as well as the highest number of steals in the game. His outstanding performance was undoubtedly the key factor in Jilin's victory. Jones has long been a renowned figure in the CBA, consistently delivering performances that captivate audiences. In this match, he played for 45 minutes, shooting 14 out of 27 attempts and making 17 out of 18 free throws, almost reaching a perfect shooting record. Such a display not only thrilled Jilin's fans but also stunned the entire CBA league. Jones' achievement of a grand slam (leading the team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals, with an extremely high number of free throw conversions) marks another highlight in his career. Jones has been a cornerstone of Jilin for seven seasons, becoming the team's absolute core over the years. Despite the CBA allowing teams to use two foreign players this season, Jilin seems to need no additional support to alleviate the pressure on Jones. In the past four games, he has achieved a triple-double three times, a unique feat in the CBA. Almost every victory for Jilin is inseparable from Jones' excellent performance. Born in 1988,…
