CBA regular season round 28 continued with Xinjiang securing a big win against Nanjing and Liaoning easily defeating Sichuan. Below is a brief summary of the matches. ‌[Xinjiang - Nanjing]‌ Nanjing strategically gave up, with Lif and domestic mainstays mostly absent. As a result, they had to rely on the individual abilities of their foreign small forwards to solve problems. Floyd and Harris accounted for 24 out of the team's first quarter 27 points, almost entirely through one-on-one play without significant tactical coordination. Xinjiang, on the contrary, demonstrated excellent teamwork with 13 assists in a single quarter, showcasing a fluid offensive game with everyone contributing, especially successful in breaking through the inside. This allowed them to temporarily lead by three points at 30-27. In the second quarter, the game rhythm remained largely unchanged. Nanjing's lineup depth was stretched thin, with weak domestic players, leaving only the two foreign players to take turns performing. Once their shooting accuracy dropped, the situation became increasingly severe. Xinjiang played with ease, maintaining high efficiency both inside and outside, feeling no pressure. They ended the half with a small scoring spree to solidify their advantage, leading 69-51 by 18 points. The second half progressed steadily, with neither side causing significant waves, and the match lost suspense early. Xinjiang finished with a decisive victory over Nanjing, 124-99. ‌[Liaoning - Sichuan]‌ The match was not particularly smooth, with head coach Han Shuo receiving a technical foul for being dissatisfied with the refereeing, and Han Dejun getting a flagrant foul for pulling someone from behind. The frequent whistles…

Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team's Tactical Innovations and Performance Improvement Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team has ushered in significant tactical innovations in the new season, the most noticeable of which is the replacement of the main setter. After introducing a new main setter, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team's offensive routines have become more diverse, and the team's cooperation has become smoother, laying a solid foundation for the overall performance improvement. After this key change, the volleyball girls gradually regained their form, especially winning against Fujian Team in the home game. It is worth mentioning that the team performed outstandingly in block scoring, which is one of the biggest changes brought by the new setter to the whole team. The team's overall performance has not only been improved in offense but also in defense. In this campaign, Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team not only made gains in the attack but also stabilized its overall defense. Whether it is assisting defense or protection, the team has shown good collaborative combat capabilities.

Recently, after NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves announced the release of point guard D'Angelo Russell, several CBA clubs have shown interest in acquiring him. According to media reports, Beijing Shougang Men's Basketball Team was the first to make an offer, followed by Guangdong Southern Tigers joining the bidding war. Guangdong Southern Tigers lack talent at the No. 1 position, with only Xu Jie struggling to support, averaging over 40 minutes per game. Therefore, the team also wants to find a player to share the pressure with Xu Jie, and Russell is one of the targets. Guangdong Southern Tigers have been paying attention to overseas small foreign aid information after hastily ending their contract with the subpar foreign aid, Les. They have now officially offered Russell. Russell, standing at 1.93 meters tall, is a point guard with good organizing and connecting abilities, which is exactly what Guangdong needs. However, many people are not optimistic about this signing because Russell has been called a "tank god" by fans due to his slow breakthrough pace and fondness for mindlessly shooting three-pointers with low accuracy. However, as the saying goes, "A change of scenery can do wonders." In the NBA, he couldn't get playing time, but coming to the CBA might be like a bug, such as Shanghai Sharks' Lofton. Bazley, who currently plays for Guangdong Southern Tigers, is also a player who couldn't get playing time in the NBA. Considering that Guangdong Southern Tigers have stumbled three times in a row in introducing small foreign aids, the team management will be very cautious in selecting…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, and the dynamics of foreign player recruitment by various teams have become a hot topic among fans. Recently, the name of 22-year-old swingman Deyshon Nix has been frequently mentioned. According to reports, this young player who was recently cut by the Timberwolves has attracted the attention of several strong CBA teams, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Qingdao. Several teams have even offered him contracts. However, it seems that Guangdong is the most likely team to sign Nix, depending on whether the young player is willing to give up his dream of returning to the NBA and instead join the CBA. Nix is only 22 years old, standing at 193cm tall and weighing 102kg, a typical "heavyweight" swingman. During his time with the Rockets, he once scored an impressive 45 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in a single game. This sounds explosive, right? But in reality, his offensive efficiency is not high. In the NBA, where there are many strong players, Nix's attribute as a "ball possession consumer" makes it difficult for him to establish himself. During his time in the Development League, his shooting percentage was not outstanding, and his three-point shooting percentage was only around 30%, which is clearly not enough to make him a top-tier foreign player. Simply put, Nix is not the kind of super foreign player who can easily turn the tide of a game like Samner or Diawlo. However, from another perspective, the playing style of the CBA league is completely different from…

The CBA league has introduced the Club Cup competition during the regular season schedule this year. The group stage has already been completed during the first window period, with eight teams advancing to the finals. The schedule for the final stage has now been fully determined, starting on February 9th and concluding on the 15th. You can view the specific schedule in the image below. As for which team is most likely to win the championship, it's really hard to predict! Based on online predictions, Shanxi Men's Basketball is considered the biggest favorite, followed by Xinjiang Men's Basketball, Beijing Shougang, Shandong Men's Basketball, Shanghai Men's Basketball, Beikong Men's Basketball, Zhejiang Chouzhou, and Tianjin Men's Basketball. It's indeed difficult to guess, as we need to consider whether the teams will field their full-strength squads, taking into account injury risks and the impact of national team training on each team. Many players from these teams have been selected for national or provincial training squads, and we also need to consider the injury situations of each team at that time. Overall, there is a lot of suspense, so let's wait and see. All matches in the final stage will be held at the Shaanxi Provincial Stadium. Looking forward to it!

The CBA league has been getting more and more exciting lately! Just look at this intense match between Guangdong and Shandong. Shandong came into the game with a 5-game winning streak, but Guangdong managed to secure a hard-fought victory at home with a score of 98-93. It was quite a thrilling match indeed. Looking at the score, it's only a 5-point difference, which is neither big nor small. But you have to remember, this is Guangdong we're talking about! In previous years, teams would avoid Guangdong like the plague. Now, even a team ranked fifth like Shandong can put up such a tough fight. This makes me reminisce about the time when Guangdong used to dominate the CBA, easily winning by 20 or 30 points. Those days are long gone now. Xu Jie was the anchor for Guangdong in this game, scoring 22 points and dishing out 11 assists, a very comprehensive performance. Jilunwater's 26 points and 9 rebounds were also impressive. However, the most eye-catching performance was from Morand, who had a triple-double with 8 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists. That's not something just anyone can achieve. Honestly, after watching this game, I'm feeling quite emotional. I remember when Guangdong played, it was like adults playing against children, and winning by 20 points was considered polite. Now, every game is a nail-biter. Look at the strength of the current CBA teams; teams like Shandong, with three foreign players and national players like Gao Shiyan and Tao Hanlin, their lineup is no joke. But upon further reflection, this is…

On January 9th, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the second week of All-Star voting. The backcourt players in the South Division have become a focus of attention. In addition to the heated discussion among fans about Hu Mingxuan's approach to Guo Ailun, Xu Jie has also firmly established himself as the top player in the South Division. Perhaps Du Feng's continuous mention of fans voting more for Xu Jie at post-game press conferences has had a certain effect. After all, the Guangdong head coach personally campaigning can exert significant market influence. It is also the only instance so far this season where a head coach has helped his protégé campaign for votes. The top four backcourt players in the South Division are: Xu Jie (496,052), Guo Ailun (407,493), Hu Mingxuan (386,402), Sun Minghui (246,391). For Sun Minghui, he has clearly become the "biggest loser" in this All-Star voting. Compared to Xu Jie's first place in the backcourt, there is a difference of one time, a full 240,000 votes. Guo Ailun and Hu Mingxuan are only about 20,000 votes apart. According to the fact that both are top-tier stars in the CBA, even if they continue to be on the sidelines, they can still receive a large number of fan votes, with 407,493 and 386,402 respectively. Who can lock down the starting position in the third stage will require the final week of voting. Given that both have massive fan bases, a fierce competition is foreseeable. Sun Minghui is quite embarrassed. According to the attendance rate and performance of the…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has won four consecutive victories, narrowing the gap in wins with the top four teams. However, the issue of lacking rotation options for their core guard Xu Jie remains unsolved. Yang Yi, who was promoted to the first team this season, is even shorter than Xu Jie and lacks mid-to-long-range shooting ability, making him ineffective both offensively and defensively. Coach Du Feng tried him out in one game but did not dare to use him again. Other domestic guards on the team either lack the ability to dribble to the front court or are accustomed to playing supporting roles, unable to share the workload of Xu Jie. Therefore, there is an urgent need to introduce a small foreign aid with ball-handling capabilities. According to several authoritative media sources, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has officially offered a 1.93-meter guard, De'Shan Nichols. As a representative of tall point guards, Nichols' ball control and handling skills can definitely meet the requirements of Coach Du Feng. However, he is slightly lacking in shooting ability. Since he only needs to cover the remaining schedule of the second stage, such a short-term contract does not require a significant salary investment. If he can develop good chemistry with the team, he will continue to be signed until the end of the season; otherwise, he is likely to leave after the second stage ends. Zhu Fangyu will look for suitable reinforcements from the NBA's February layoff list. According to news provided by Liaoning media, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's foreign player James Webb III has…

In the CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Tianjin 120-111 in an away game. Guangdong played relatively easily in this match, pulling away the score through consecutive points in the last few minutes of the second quarter. This allowed them to maintain control over Tianjin throughout the game and ultimately secure the victory. Four players achieved perfect scores in the game. Wat's control of the situation was commendable. When Guangdong experienced a power outage in the second half, he was able to score continuously, suppressing Tianjin's momentum and finishing with 30 points. Xu Jie's performance in this game was much better than before. He didn't play much in the previous game and was recovering from his condition, but he still managed to lead Guangdong's offense with 16 points and 12 assists. Morand remains a solid presence under the basket, capable of finishing plays, grabbing rebounds, and exerting strong defensive dominance. He can dominate in various aspects, becoming the foundation of Guangdong's interior. Bazley is now playing very decisively on the offensive end. Although Tianjin is just a weak team, as long as he maintains his scoring ability and determination, fans will be satisfied. He scored 15 points in the game, and it is hoped that he can continue this form in the future. Huang Rongqi, Zhang Haojia, Ren Junfei, Wang Shaojie, and Du Runwang all gave passable performances. Huang Rongqi was able to complete his tasks in the game, going 4 for 6 with 12 points and 3 assists, and his defensive intensity was also good, giving Xu Jie some breathing…

The 28th round of the CBA regular season on January 8th saw two exciting matchups, featuring Xinjiang against Nanjing and Liaoning against Sichuan. These games not only showcased the tactical characteristics of different teams but also reflected their current competitive states and developmental stages. In the match between Xinjiang and Nanjing, the disparity in strength was evident from the outset. Due to a strategic withdrawal, Nanjing's main player, Leaf, along with several domestic core players, did not participate, significantly reducing the team's overall strength. In this situation, Nanjing had to rely on its foreign players, Floyd and Harris, who became the primary offensive support. In the first quarter, these two foreign players performed exceptionally well, scoring 24 out of the team's 27 points. However, this over-reliance on individual ability has obvious limitations. Their scores mostly came from individual efforts, lacking teamwork, making such an offensive approach unsustainable and easily targeted by opponents. In contrast, Xinjiang displayed a completely different playing style. They completed 13 assists in the first quarter, showcasing excellent team coordination and chemistry. Xinjiang's offense flowed smoothly, particularly with significant success in inside penetration. The team worked closely together, producing delightful team basketball. As the game progressed, Nanjing's disadvantages became increasingly apparent. With insufficient depth in the lineup and weaker local players, once the foreign players' form fluctuated, the team struggled to maintain stable scoring. Xinjiang, on the other hand, played more freely, maintaining high efficiency with a combination of inside and outside play, ultimately winning by a large margin of 124-99. In the other game, Liaoning faced…
