88-101, Liaoning Men's Basketball lost at home to Guangsha Men's Basketball. The defending champions mainly lost in the third quarter, or rather, lost because of Yang Ming. It was his use of zone defense and letting Zhao Jiwei start that led to being completely overwhelmed by Guangsha on both offense and defense. Using zone defense cultivated Brown's feel for the game, Zhao Jiwei had no offensive presence, no threat at all, it was like playing 4 against 5, how could they not lose? Guangsha is really strong, and what's scary is that they are not even at full strength. If they can stay healthy, they are definitely the most hopeful team to win the championship this year. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game: Liao Media: Liao basketball losing to Guangsha is completely acceptable, but there were also gains. Patton's trial run was a success, at least much stronger than Ture, fully capable of taking on the role of a substitute for Dahan. Congratulations to Coach Wang Bo, with his day-to-day research, he finally found Liaoning's weakness, this victory is well-deserved. The opponent's lineup this season is the most complete, the core is mature, the championship favorite, for many years the regular season has been awkward against this opponent, it's a matter of mutual generation and mutual inhibition. The main problem is offensive efficiency, rebounds and second-chance points are leading, but facing high forwards the offensive efficiency is very low, this is related to the state and the opponent's overall restrictions. Defensively, Brown is very…

The CCTV Sports Channel has announced a detailed broadcast schedule, allowing fans to plan their viewing times in advance! The broadcast arrangements for tonight are quite distinctive. With CCTV5 set to live broadcast the first stage of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League playoffs between Beijing BAW and Liaoning, the responsibility of broadcasting the CBA games falls on CCTV5+. This channel will focus on broadcasting the home game of Shanxi Fenjiu against Fujian men's basketball team.

Looking at the highlights of the matches, tonight's two confrontations each have their own characteristics. Shanxi Fenjiu is currently ranked second in the league. In the last round, they staged an amazing comeback at home, defeating the strong Xinjiang Yili, demonstrating the resilience of a championship team. Their opponent, Fujian men's basketball team, is currently at the bottom of the league standings, with a clear gap in strength. Although sports competitions are full of variables, Shanxi Fenjiu does indeed have a greater chance of victory. In contrast, the matchup between Jiangsu men's basketball team and Guangzhou men's basketball team is even more intriguing. These two teams are evenly matched in terms of strength and have been performing well recently. Especially Jiangsu men's basketball…

As the WCBA season approaches the two-thirds mark, more and more teams are discovering deficiencies within their squads or finding that certain foreign players do not fit with their current team dynamics. Consequently, many teams have been busy reinforcing their rosters recently. Among these are the Xinjiang women's basketball team, Xiamen women's basketball team, Henan women's basketball team, and Shanxi women's basketball team, all of which have been recruiting new foreign players. Both Henan and Shanxi previously had three foreign players, but for the sake of performance, these two teams have really gone all out. According to a well-known blogger, Henan women's basketball team has invested 51 million RMB this year to build the team. This summer, Henan women's basketball team first signed Chinese women's basketball assistant coach Park Myung-ju as the head coach of Henan women's basketball team, and then conducted a series of signings of a large number of players, including domestic players such as Sun Li and Peng Huaqian, as well as signing three foreign players: Asinde, McDaniel, and Odyssey Sims. However, the latest news is that Henan women's basketball team has cancelled the registration qualification of Odyssey Sims and changed to sign Emma Gunn as the third foreign player, making Henan women's basketball team the first team this season to sign four foreign players. However, the latest news yesterday was that Shanxi women's basketball team also signed the fourth foreign player, she is Mercedes Russell from the United States. Mercedes Russell has played for the Seattle Storm for the past seven seasons and was a member…

Some fans jokingly say that since the second stage, Xu Jie has become more and more like Curry. This not only refers to Xu Jie's playing style approaching Curry's, but also to the fact that like Curry in his early years, Xu Jie signed a relatively cheap "child labor contract" with the team, yet plays a crucial role as the soul of the team. There are also fans from Guangdong who have spoken up for Xu Jie, hoping that the team could give him a raise and some "hardship allowance." However, due to CBA regulations, a raise is unlikely, but issuing bonuses is still possible. It is understood that after the game between Guangdong and Shandong, Chen, the boss of Guangdong, personally came to the bench and sat next to Xu Jie to console him, so the bonus is definitely not to be missed! Hu Mingxuan also received good news, with media reports suggesting that Xiao Hu's recovery progress is quite optimistic, and he is likely to return a month earlier than expected! Xu Jie played 36.7 minutes this season, averaging 16.2 points, 7.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.58 steals, with all stats ranking among the top domestic players in the league. So far this season, Xu Jie has won the domestic monthly MVP once, been selected into the best lineup several times, and became the "second-highest vote-getter" in the first week of the All-Star voting. Given such performance by Xu Jie, what do you think his annual salary is? According to the official announcement of the CBA, Xu Jie…

In a thrilling CBA regular season match-up, Liaoning Men's Basketball faced off against Guangsha. Liaoning had just defeated Jilin in their previous game and were riding high on momentum, while Guangsha had become the focus of the league with three consecutive victories. The game started with both teams locked in a tight battle, with Liaoning taking the lead after a brief back-and-forth, but Guangsha quickly adjusted, resulting in a close first quarter with a combined score of less than 50 points. The second quarter saw the situation remain deadlocked, with Guangsha holding a slight advantage at halftime. However, the tide turned dramatically in the second half. Guangsha launched a fierce offensive assault, with multiple players contributing, while Liaoning struggled with their attack, plagued by frequent turnovers. By the third quarter, Guangsha had extended their lead to over 20 points. The fourth quarter was all but decided, and Guangsha emerged victorious with a decisive 101:88 win, securing their fourth consecutive victory. For Liaoning, Wells scored the highest with 21 points, Han Dejun contributed 8 points and 9 rebounds, and Li Xiaoxu performed steadily with 12 points and 6 rebounds. However, core guard Zhao Jiwei had a disappointing game, shooting only 1 out of 8 for a total of 5 points and 3 assists, a significant drop from his usual performance. Please pay attention to Zhao Jiwei's offensive play (GIF animation can be seen at the end of the article), where he passed to Fu Hao for an open layup that missed, causing Zhao to stomp his feet in frustration. It must…

Recently, during a match between Guangdong Hongyuan and Shandong High-Speed teams, an astonishing scene unfolded. It is common knowledge that in the final moments of the fourth quarter, every team would strive to secure victory. However, both Guangdong's head coach Du Feng and Shandong's head coach Qiu Biao seemed uninterested in winning. Specifically, with just over two minutes left in the game, most believed that Guangdong, leading by 9 points, would easily win. But Guangdong suddenly lost their rhythm, as if they had become a different team. Xu Jie was intercepted by Yu Dehao, reducing the lead to 5 points. Mordand also made a passing error, followed by Zhang Haojia, who could have secured a stable three-pointer but instead stepped on the line and shot a long two-pointer. Shandong's response was equally interesting. Qiu Biao replaced the best-performing Gali with Chris, who missed an easy layup after Mordand's mistake, which could have narrowed the gap and potentially won the game for Shandong. This strange scenario where neither team wanted to score or win suggests something amiss with both Guangdong and Shandong. However, I suspect that behind this lies Du Feng and Qiu Biao's grand strategy for their teams' future. Considering the players' usual stability, their performance in this game suggests more than simple mistakes. This reminds me of a classic line from the 1979 Soviet film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," where the beautiful Liu Jia asks her colleague why generals' wives are old and ugly, to which the colleague replies that one must marry a lieutenant and endure…

In the semi-finals of the 2022 Women's Basketball World Cup, in the last few seconds, China faced the host Australia, with a score that was as hard to crack as a tough bone. Wang Siyu stood on the free throw line, and the whole audience held their breath. Two successful free throws allowed China to narrowly advance to the final. At that moment, the cheers of the entire team echoed throughout the stadium, while Wang Siyu's calm eyes seemed to say, "It's nothing, I'm just doing what I should do." But who could have expected that this "big heart" player, who had made history with her clutch shots, would bid farewell to the WNBA signing opportunity less than a year later due to a shoulder injury, and could only go to Australia for rehabilitation. Competitive sports are like this, with glory and troughs like a seesaw, you never know when it will flip. Like Wang Siyu, Han Xu is also one of the "chosen ones." In high school, her height and basketball talent had already attracted national attention. Some say she is the future of Chinese women's basketball, a new hope that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. And the facts have proven that she has not disappointed these expectations—moving from domestic courts to the WNBA, Han Xu broke the stereotype of "Chinese inside players being stiff" with her accurate mid-range shooting and agile footwork. In the 2023 season, Han Xu finally rose from the bench to become a key rotation player, with her average…

Zhao Rui has been suspended for five games and fined 100,000 yuan, a decision that has left everyone stunned. Honestly, this punishment seems somewhat confusing. The incident began when Zhao Rui collided with the referee, and his impulsive behavior was influenced by external factors. To put it bluntly, the referee's unfair rulings, coupled with the controversial nature of the game itself, led to this conflict. However, the final outcome makes people feel as if the wrong person was punished. Some netizens say: This matter is clearly the referee's problem; Zhao Rui had reasons to lose control of his emotions, yet he ended up being penalized with a five-game suspension. Isn't that too unfair? Honestly, what Zhao Rui did was indeed incorrect, but is this punishment too lenient? Colliding with a referee is a significant issue; logically, a heavier sentence should have been imposed to match the severity of the situation. Let's look at the events leading up to this. After the match against Shandong, Zhao Rui was suspended for five games and fined ten thousand due to his collision with the referee. This incident caused an uproar throughout the CBA circle. Although this punishment appears severe, in reality, most fans believe that Zhao Rui received a light sentence. Why do they say this? Because everyone believes that his action of colliding with the referee was severe and should have received a harsher punishment. When compared to Du Runwang's physical altercation with an opponent, Zhao Rui's behavior is seen as significantly more serious. Du Runwang did have a conflict, but at…

The reason for Shanxi Men's Basketball Team's reversal of Xinjiang Guanghui is not just tactics, finally understand. Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that everyone can see the desperate and life-threatening state of Shanxi in the fourth quarter, which completely stunned Xinjiang, and Shanxi deserves this comeback! Especially Liu Chuanxing! He was like an iron tower in the fourth quarter! Many actions by Shanxi in the fourth quarter were fouls, but the referees didn't call them. In fact, the referees' whistles favored Shanxi throughout the game, but Shanxi pretended not to defend and missed shots wildly in the first three quarters, which is why they fell behind so much. It was Liu Wei's first year coaching that created a record for Xinjiang, leading by 25 points and then being dramatically reversed in the last quarter. This game was a huge blow to the young players of Xinjiang. Shanxi finally dared to aggressively defend the entire court in the last quarter, with Goodwin speeding up the transition, taking advantage of the physical issues of Xinjiang's eight-man rotation. Shanxi played very well in the last quarter and deserved the victory! I actually quite admire Diawara. People with discerning eyes should be clear about what happened in this game. Diawara was shaking his head before the free throw at the end and also missed both free throws. He probably used this action to express his dissatisfaction with such behavior. Any team knows to call a timeout to adjust tactics in the fourth quarter, but Liu Wei makes the same mistake every game.…
