Can Guangzhou Team Hold On? Nine Consecutive Defeats and a Crushing 39-Point Loss - What Happened to the Once-Resilient Team That Seemed to Have Been Sent Back to Square One Overnight? This is a grim question, but it reflects the harsh reality that Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team is currently facing. With nine consecutive defeats and a single-game loss of 39 points, such a record has caused fans who once had high hopes for the team to explode with anger. Some furiously shout "Get out of the CBA," others mockingly call Guangzhou Team a "slacker team," and even supporters with slightly more moderate emotions can't help but ask: What's going on? What problems does Guangzhou Team have? Is it a lack of talent, a disintegrated spirit, or even a lack of effort? From Expectation to Disappointment: Guo Ailun's "Lonely Courage" Couldn't Save Guangzhou Team Once upon a time, when news broke that Guo Ailun joined Guangzhou Team, fans' expectations reached a peak. This is one of China's top guards, whose speed and agility always stir up a storm on the court. "With Guo Ailun, Guangzhou Team will surely blaze a new trail this season," many confidently declared. However, reality slapped everyone in the face - no matter how strong an individual's ability is, they cannot save a team lacking fighting spirit and team cohesion. Guo Ailun fought alone on the court, using all his might but could only watch as the point difference gradually widened. His single-game scoring and assist statistics may seem impressive, but they stand out painfully in the…

Genius Du Feng Strikes Again! Benched Xu Jie for Two and a Half Quarters, Directed Shenzhen's Big Collapse with a 19-13 Fourth Quarter Zhou Peng and Willis played in the 27th round of the CBA regular season, which was a focus match and the second Guangdong derby. Shenzhen recently had a good momentum with three consecutive victories. Zhou Peng and Willis were also in hot form, scoring a total of 65 points, 19 rebounds, and 18 assists in the previous game against Fujian, returning to their peak. This matchup had many highlights. It was Zhou Peng's first time facing his old club since his return in the second stage. He performed strongly whether he was matched up against Jerren Walker or Bazley. Du Feng also boldly used newcomers, with Xu Xin performing outstandingly. However, the key to victory still lay with Xu Jie. In the first quarter, Jerren Walker had a hot hand, making 4 out of 4 shots including 2 three-pointers within 5 minutes to score 10 points. It was clear that young Wang Haoran was like a primary school student in front of him. Under the leadership of "King GiGi," Guangdong quickly took a 16-9 lead. Zhou Peng couldn't stand it anymore and replaced himself on the court, actively guarding against "King GiGi." After Zhou Peng returned, Shenzhen started to gain momentum, launching an 11-3 run in 3 minutes to overtake the score. Du Feng called an urgent timeout and replaced Bazley, rarely benching Xu Jie. At the end of the first quarter, Shenzhen led Guangdong 28-27. Shenzhen…

Currently, the CBA league is in full swing, with the regular season already halfway through. However, the top eight situation is not yet clear, as the records are quite close, indicating a competitive and diverse landscape in the new season. This is what the management hopes to see, as it is more interesting than a single team dominating. This diversity is largely due to the foreign player policy, with many teams having at least 3-4 foreign players on reserve, and some teams having replaced 7-8 foreign players so far. This has put significant economic pressure on the teams, with nearly all CBA teams suffering losses in the past two years, and some teams' annual profits not even covering the salaries of their foreign players. Since last season, Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team has been struggling financially, selling off key players one after another. With Cui Yongxi choosing to pursue the NBA, the team officially entered a rebuilding phase. However, to maintain viewership, they signed Guo Ailun, who is highly popular despite being in the twilight of his career and frequently plagued by injuries. Guo Ailun remains an outstanding player and one of the top ten guards in the CBA, but more importantly, he is one of the most popular players in the league. During the offseason, Guangzhou also signed former top star Ding Yanyuhang, making them a team with average strength but top-level attention. Currently, Guangzhou is at the bottom of the league standings due to severe injury problems and incomplete personnel. They have suffered 11 consecutive losses, and in the…

Guangdong, playing at home, engaged in their second fierce battle with the Shandong men's basketball team this new season. Despite being short-handed in the backcourt, the team ultimately secured victory over Shandong by a margin of 5 points, thanks to the strong performances of Xu Jie and two big foreign players, as well as Du's miraculous use of personnel. In this game, Shandong also faced injury issues; Gali was unable to play in the final quarter due to a knee injury, which was one of the reasons for their defeat. In this match, Xu Jie had a hot hand, scoring 6 out of 8 three-pointers and accumulating 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 11 assists throughout the game. His performance was comparable to that of a top-tier small foreign player. Xu Jie remained calm under pressure; despite Chris' attempts to unsettle him with unsportsmanlike actions, Xu Jie did not react. Even after being roughly taken down twice, Xu Jie chose to respond on the court, earning a perfect score in his post-game evaluation. Wu, Morland, Du Runwang, Ren Junfei, Huang Rongqi, and Zhang Haofa, who hit a crucial long two-pointer at the end, were all key contributors to Guangdong's victory. Morland fought hard, recording 8 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks, completely filling up the stat sheet. Against Shandong, Guangdong's biggest advantage lay in their interior game. Although Shandong had two big foreign players, Chris and Kumajie, as well as Tao Hanlin, their high-paid center, they fell short against Wu and Old Mo. Tao Hanlin had no…

The women's basketball league has been going on, with the Sichuan team leading the standings with a winning streak, and Han Xu averaging more than 17 points is really impressive. These girls are fighting fiercely on the court, making people shout excitedly. The national team selection is imminent, and it's hard to say who will be selected. Sichuan Shudao Yuanda women's basketball team has now achieved an 18-game winning streak. This team is so fierce that Han Xu's domineering performance in the paint can be seen in every game. Her average of 17.6 points is not for nothing, with a high shooting percentage, and she always stands out to score at critical moments. Gao Song is playing well in the Sichuan team, with an average of 15.7 points indicating that she is in top form. Although she didn't make it to the Paris Olympics, this kind of performance is absolutely worth reconsidering for the national team. The Sichuan team's achievements today are largely due to the tactical arrangements of the coaching staff, who have clearly paired Han Xu and Gao Song, making the offensive end colorful and the defense quite in place. Although other teams have a considerable points difference, the competition is still fierce, with each team wanting to make a playoff push, and every game is exciting. Li Yueru's performance at the Paris Olympics was evident to everyone, and she also performed well in the Turkish Super League. Now, no one can shake her position as the domestic center. Xu Chenyan averages 14.9 points in the Jiangsu team,…

On January 6, 2025, the 27th round of the CBA regular season presented a thrilling basketball feast for fans, with the highlight being the Guangdong derby between Guangdong and Shenzhen. The match ended with Guangdong narrowly defeating Shenzhen 91-84, a game filled with drama and suspense throughout. From the start of the game, both teams displayed a strong competitive spirit. Guangdong's foreign player, Jilunwater, started off with a heroic performance, scoring 12 points in just the first quarter, showcasing his powerful scoring ability. However, Shenzhen did not succumb to this pressure, as their bench players performed admirably, with smooth offensive coordination, especially Thompson's dominant performance in the paint, which helped the team end the first quarter with a slight lead of 28-27. In the second quarter, Guangdong's offensive firepower further intensified. Jilunwater continued his excellent form, making a strong 2+1 play under the basket. Following this, guard Xu Jie's outside shooting began to take effect, leading the team on a 10-0 run that forced Shenzhen to call a timeout. However, Guangdong also made some mistakes during this period, with Wang Shaojie and Bazley missing free throws, which was somewhat regrettable. Shenzhen mainly relied on Thompson's efficient play in the paint to maintain the score, trailing by 6 points at halftime with a score of 49-55. The second half saw even more intense competition. Shenzhen faced an unfavorable factor as their main foreign player, Thompson, was plagued by fouls. In this situation, Shenzhen's head coach Zhou Peng took the initiative to step onto the court, demonstrating the responsibility of a veteran.…

During the game between Guangzhou and Qingdao men's basketball teams, with 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, Guangzhou's interior player Jiao Boqiao suffered an ankle sprain. Post-game examination revealed that Jiao Boqiao had "minor bone marrow edema in the medial malleolus of the right ankle; suspected rupture of the tibiofibular ligament and tibiotarsal ligament; suspected rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament; and damage to the calcaneofibular ligament and tibioscapular ligament." It is worth noting that this is not the first time Jiao Boqiao has been injured this season, and he seems to have the attributes of a glass man. As the absolute core of Guangzhou's interior, after Jiao Boqiao's injury, the team's interior rotation will become even more tense. Considering the severity of Jiao Boqiao's injuries, including ligament ruptures and bone marrow edema, it will take at least three to four months for recovery, effectively ending his season early. Given Guangzhou's performance this season, the club will not rush Jiao Boqiao back into action. Additionally, due to this injury, Jiao Boqiao will miss the upcoming Chinese men's basketball window period matches, missing another opportunity to improve himself. This season, Jiao Boqiao has shown significant improvement, becoming increasingly efficient in finishing under the basket and developing an outside three-point shot, averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game. As a center, Jiao Boqiao's playing style is becoming more comprehensive. To date, he averages 28.4 minutes per game, contributing 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.9%. In his most outstanding game of the season, Jiao…

The 27th round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued, with a focus on the fierce competition between the strong Shanxi men's basketball team and the traditional powerhouse Xinjiang men's basketball team. Ultimately, the stronger Shanxi team defeated the powerful Xinjiang team 115-110 at home, thanks to the outstanding performances of Liu Chuanxing, Goodwin, Diarra, and other main players. It is worth noting that Shanxi was once 25 points behind Xinjiang in this game, but they made a 41-11 offensive climax in the final quarter, successfully completing the comeback. It can be said that the reason why Shanxi could blow out Xinjiang with a single foreign aid lineup in the final quarter was due to the combination of Liu Chuanxing and the small foreign aid. As a former Guangdong team youth training inside player, many fans also called on Zhu Fangyu to consider signing Liu Chuanxing back. According to statistics, Liu Chuanxing, the main center of Shanxi team, played 21 minutes in this game, scoring 12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 5 blocks with a shooting rate of 6/10 on the offensive end, and a plus-minus value of +20, which was the best in the field. After this battle, Shanxi has firmly occupied the second place in the standings, only behind the top Guangsha men's basketball team as the hottest championship contender. It should be noted that this season's four major championship contenders Liaoning team, Beijing Shougang team, Guangsha team, and Xinjiang team have all been defeated by Shanxi. Shanxi relies on the…

A thrilling match unfolded in the 27th round of the CBA, which was not only a basketball showdown but also resembled a dramatic movie that had all spectators holding their breath until the very last moment. The protagonists were two strong teams - Shanxi and Xinjiang. Before the game, both teams had a record of 19 wins and 6 losses, ranking second and third in the league respectively. However, no one could have anticipated the incredible way this match would end. From the start, Xinjiang quickly found their rhythm with Xierzati firing from outside, Li Yanzhe scoring under the basket, and Hegen stealing the ball for a counterattack layup. These smooth moves gave them a good start. Especially Ilyas Fu La Ti, who hit three consecutive three-pointers, helping Xinjiang quickly widen the score gap. At the end of the first quarter, Xinjiang was already leading 41 to 26. At this point, Xinjiang seemed to have control of the game's pace, while Shanxi appeared somewhat caught off guard. During halftime, the Shanxi coaching staff clearly made targeted adjustments to try to reverse the unfavorable situation. Despite this, Shanxi still faced significant challenges in the following period. By the end of the third quarter, Xinjiang still maintained a huge advantage of 25 points. At this moment, for most viewers, the outcome of the game seemed to be a foregone conclusion; but for Shanxi, it was just the beginning of a new chapter. However, the real miracle happened in the fourth quarter. When everyone thought victory would undoubtedly go to Xinjiang, Shanxi suddenly…

Beijing Men's Basketball Team and Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team played a game that made people shake their heads. Zhejiang team was missing four main players in the game, which was like letting Beijing team easily win at home. However, the substitute players of Zhejiang team fought hard, although they eventually lost by 25 points. The inside line of Beijing team was simply invincible, with Zhou Qi and Zeng Fanbo doing whatever they wanted under the basket. The inside players of Zhejiang team had no way to deal with the opponent's offense, always being slow in defense, and even more intimidated by the long arms and legs of the opponent on the offensive end. The inside players of Beijing team were very comfortable in positioning under the basket. When their teammates passed the ball in, it was basically a turnaround jump shot or a direct dunk. The defensive players of Zhejiang team stood there like wooden stakes, watching. This kind of play allowed Beijing team to take a 15-point lead in the first half. Jieman had an excellent shooting today, scoring 21 points in the first half. Not only did he score, but his assists and rebounds were also well done. He cooperated very well with his teammates, and several fast breaks caught Zhejiang team off guard. The substitute players of Beijing team also performed well today. Qiu Tian and Zhang Cairen were particularly active in grabbing on the court, and Zhai Xiaochuan's passing was also accurate. The whole team was in good shape. Although Zhejiang team was short of main…
