In the CBA regular season, Liaoning lost to Guangsha with a score of 88-101. After the game, Yang Ming stated: "In the third quarter, we completely failed to execute on both offense and defense. We were slow to respond to our opponents' defensive strategies, including the pick-and-roll plays by their small and big foreign players. We still have some deficiencies in matching their intensity. Zhao Jiwei's return for the second game meant that our ball handling was not as seasoned as in the playoffs. However, we still had time to adjust when we made mistakes against Guangsha. Currently, Guangsha is a unique team in the league, with their offensive and defensive strategies having been maintained for several years. They are the strongest contenders for the championship if they stay healthy." These comments mainly highlight Guangsha's capabilities. The unexpected outbursts from Brown and Knight in this game were something Liaoning did not anticipate. Their perfect performances in the second half spurred the whole team. Yang Ming specifically mentioned Guangsha's foreign players, acknowledging that the loss was due to this factor. He also emphasized that "Guangsha's offensive and defensive strategies have been consistent for years," as every time Guangsha faces Liaoning, they double-team the small foreign player, a strategy that has always been effective. This is why Liaoning found themselves so passive. Even though they lost, Yang Ming still affirmed his team. Zhao Jiwei's current form is not yet at its best, and Zhang Zhenlin has not played. Despite this, they managed to hold their own in the first half, which Yang…

Guangdong Derby is here as scheduled, and this season's three teams from Guangdong have faced significant challenges. It is unlikely that the feat of all three Guangdong teams reaching the playoffs last season will be repeated this year. Both Guangzhou and Shenzhen have traded away their starting lineups, while Guangdong Hongyuan has also struggled this season, ranking only ninth in the league and potentially setting a new low for their performance. Initially, Guangdong continued to play with their familiar double-big foreign lineup, focusing on the inside game. It's hard to imagine what their record would be without the duo of Jilunwater and Morand this season, especially Jilunwater, who was initially signed as a third foreigner but has become a superstar for Guangdong. The main issue for Guangdong Hongyuan this year has been their recruitment strategy of "greedy for small advantages but suffering great losses." They still lack an explosive offensive point on the wing, and the team has faced difficulties in the second stage. Coach Du Feng's young team was not positioned as a championship contender at the start of the season, so they chose Barton and Bazley, an old veteran and a defensive player, neither of whom could help solve the team's problems. Jilunwater was initially questioned by fans, but he later proved himself. However, the primary consideration in choosing Jilunwater was cost-effectiveness, still aiming for a bargain, and they even brought in a mercenary foreign aid, Les, from the Taiwan Provincial League. In the end, it was still a mentality of taking advantage, thinking they could get through…

On January 6th, Beijing time, Guangdong Evergrande fought hard for four quarters in the "Guangdong Derby" and finally defeated Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team with a score of 91-84 to achieve a three-game winning streak. Objectively speaking, Guangdong did not play well in this game, except for the good performance of foreign aid Jilunwote and Xu Xin, the performance of other players was quite average. However, Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team is not strong in itself, and under the hard collision, Guangdong, which has stronger execution and more powerful foreign aid, still won the final victory. Jilunwote, who scored 40 points and 14 rebounds, and Xu Jie, who played with injuries and ended the game with a layup at the critical moment, led the perfect score group, while Beizili and Ren Junfei performed well, and as for Morand, Yang Yi, Huang Rongqi were completely unqualified! Guangdong received a perfect score evaluation in this game, including Jilunwote who scored 40+14, Xu Jie who scored 9 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds, Zhang Haojia who scored 14 points and 4 rebounds, and Xu Xin who scored 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Maybe everyone doesn't feel how amazing it is that Jilunwote scored 40+, after all, this season Jilunwote has won games on his own too many times, and everyone is used to his strong performance. Xu Jie played with injuries in this game, only playing for 17 minutes, and the data is not very eye-catching, but the layup at the critical moment directly killed the game, and just this score is enough…

After a 25-point comeback against Xinjiang Men's Basketball, Liu Chuanxing was publicly praised by head coach Pan Jiang for playing well. Liu Chuanxing deserved it as he indeed played a pivotal role. In the fourth quarter, Liu Chuanxing scored with a putback, sealing the victory and securing the win for Shanxi Men's Basketball. In just 21 minutes of play, Liu Chuanxing scored 12 points, quite efficiently. However, his greater contribution was on the defensive end, where he recorded 5 blocks and 2 steals. Liu Chuanxing's outstanding performance severely stifled Li Yanzhe, the core of Xinjiang Men's Basketball's interior. Li Yanzhe is a representative of top-tier CBA centers. When playing for Guangzhou Men's Basketball, he had a game with 30 points and 19 rebounds. This season with Xinjiang Men's Basketball, Li Yanzhe has been an undisputed pillar. Against Ningbo Men's Basketball, Li Yanzhe scored 22 points and 9 rebounds in 24 minutes of play. Against Liaoning Men's Basketball, Li Yanzhe had a single-game performance of 21 points in only 25 minutes. However, in this game, facing Liu Chuanxing, Li Yanzhe had no presence on both offense and defense, scoring only 9 points and 5 rebounds in 34 minutes of play. This is not the first time Liu Chuanxing has suppressed a top CBA center this season. Against Beijing Men's Basketball, standing before Liu Chuanxing was Zhou Qi, known as the No. 1 center in the CBA, but it was Liu Chuanxing who had the upper hand. Liu Chuanxing scored 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Zhou Qi had only 12 points…

In a road game against Qingdao, Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered a crushing defeat by 17 points, but what is even more concerning is that the team only scored 79 points, far below their average of 111.9 points in the first seven games of the season. The reasons for Liaoning's loss in this game can be summarized into two points: Firstly, the engine on the perimeter has stalled. Zhao Jiwei's absence due to injury has left Liaoning without the brain of their team operations. Wang Lanqin, the newly introduced player, is a decent player at the No. 1 position, but it is clear that he has not yet fully integrated into the team system and there is some gap between his abilities and Zhao Jiwei's. Without Zhao Jiwei, Fredette had to take on both the scoring role and the organization, which led to him being physically exhausted in the fourth quarter and unable to lead the team to catch up. Compared to the dilemma of foreign players, Liaoning's hidden worries in the paint cannot be ignored either. Han Dejun was suppressed by Yang Hanshen of Qingdao in the paint, which was also one of the main reasons for Liaoning's loss. In the first match of the season between the two teams, Han Dejun contributed 20 points and 9 rebounds, while Yang Hanshen only got 6 points and 7 rebounds, completely suppressing Yang Hanshen on both offense and defense. However, as the game progressed, 38-year-old Han Dejun's physical fitness became critical. He could no longer provide enough support for the team's paint…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, the CBA regular season is heating up! Nanjing men's basketball team is waiting at home to compete with Beikong men's basketball team. You know, before the game, Nanjing was ranked 11th and Beikong was ranked 10th, so this game is a real battle for position. Both sides are eager to consolidate their top 12 rankings to secure a playoff spot. It was known before the game that Lin Wei had a cold and couldn't play, but Guo Haowen finally returned from injury, and Zhang Fan of Beikong also recovered from his injury tonight. After four quarters of fierce competition, Nanjing men's basketball team finally lost to Beikong men's basketball team with a score of 103-105! This season, I met my opponent for the second time! The first time we met, I was on the Nanjing side, and I lost 17 points away to Beikong. Humph, it made me so frustrated. Tonight, back at home, I have to play a revenge game! Moreover, I suffered two consecutive defeats before the game, and I really need a victory to boost my morale and stabilize the military heart. Speaking of Beikong, it finally stopped the downward trend after narrowly defeating Jiangsu in the last round. In fact, its recent record is not good either, losing consecutively to Xinjiang and Shanghai. Although its lineup is luxurious, it always fails to exert the expected dominance in the game. I really don't know how it will perform tonight, and I'm quite looking forward to it! As soon as the whistle blew…

The match between Liaoning and Guangsha teams reminded me of many things. From the past to the present, they have played so many times, and Liaoning always wins while Guangsha loses, as if it were destined. However, this time seems a bit different because Guangsha is now playing particularly well. Guangsha has not won against Liaoning since the playoffs in 2014, which is unbearable for anyone, just like when you try your best to do well in an exam but always fall short, and the opponent is always the same person. That year, Guo Ailun and Hardson had a fierce quarrel on the court, almost fighting each other. As a result, Hardson was sent off, and Guo Shiqiang was also sent off, making the scene extremely chaotic. Later, Liu Zhixuan and Xiao He performed a double slip bottom, which still feels funny now. At that time, the players of Guangsha were stunned and did not expect it to happen. Liaoning played very aggressively at that time, not giving Guangsha any chance. They eventually swept Guangsha 3-0. Although the score looks simple, each game was played very toughly. Guangsha's strength was actually not bad at that time, but they always made mistakes at critical moments. It seemed that they became nervous as soon as they saw Liaoning and did not play as smoothly as usual. When Li Chunjiang was the coach, he felt particularly unwilling every time he lost to Liaoning, but there was nothing he could do because Liaoning indeed always played better at critical moments. In those years of…

In this article, we discuss a thrilling CBA match between Liaoning and Beijing BAIC men's basketball teams. Despite Liaoning's loss, they gained valuable insights and improvements. The game started with Liaoning showing great intensity, matching Beijing's energy in the first quarter, ending with a slight lead. However, Beijing intensified their efforts in the second quarter, momentarily overwhelming Liaoning. Liaoning quickly adjusted their tactics, maintaining a close score by halftime. In the second half, Liaoning fought hard to catch up, with key players like Foger and Guo Ailun making impressive plays. Foger, who had previously scored less than 15 points in three consecutive games, scored 24 points in this match, providing a significant boost to the team. Despite Liaoning's strong comeback attempt, Beijing maintained their lead with solid defense and strategic offense. In the final quarter, Liaoning's energy waned, while Beijing continued to dominate, securing a victory with a final score of 90-105. Although Liaoning lost, they discovered several positive outcomes. Foger's return to form invigorated the team, and the increased rotation depth allowed for the development of younger players like Zhang Junhao and Li Huyi, enhancing the team's overall strength. Veteran player Han Dejun also benefited from reduced playing time, thanks to Coach Yang Ming's strategic decision to prioritize rest during the regular season, ensuring peak performance for the playoffs. Liaoning identified areas for improvement and experimented with new lineups and tactics. The young players gained valuable experience, expected to mature and gain confidence from this match. Looking ahead, Liaoning has promising talent like Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, who…

Last night's CBA was filled with incredible stories. Two veterans from Shenzhen, a combined age of 73, scored 65 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, and provided 18 assists, setting six records. The 35-year-old Zhou Peng scored 29 points, setting a new season-high in scoring, and has now scored over 20 points in five consecutive games, creating a new career record. His average of 16.7 points per game is also a new career-high, as is his three-point shooting percentage of 46%. Meanwhile, Weems put up a triple-double with 36 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, also setting new season-highs and a new three-year average. But the incredible stories don't end there. Last night, the shortest player on the Beijing team grabbed the most rebounds, even more than the towering figures like Zhou Qi and Solomon, securing four team-firsts, leading the team to victory against Zhejiang and helping secure a two-game winning streak, becoming the biggest contributor and stealing the spotlight from Zhou Qi and other foreign players. Yes, he is the diminutive Jerman, standing at only 1.83 meters tall, the shortest player on the team. Yet, he incredibly grabbed the most rebounds for the team with 7, more than the big men like Zhou Qi, Solomon, and Qiu Tian. In addition to the most rebounds, he also scored 24 points and provided 13 assists, achieving four team-firsts. First, scoring 24 points, the highest on the team; second, grabbing 7 rebounds, the most on the team; third, providing 13 assists, the most on the team; fourth, hitting 4 three-pointers, tied for the most…

The Chinese women's basketball team is a source of pride for our nation, having fought bravely for our country and won numerous honors and awards. Time flies, and now the five golden flowers of the women's basketball team have embarked on their own paths. Han Xu has set off alone to the United States, while two others have chosen to go to Australia. The directions taken by Wang Siyu and Li Meng were unexpected... As the pillar of the Chinese women's basketball team's frontcourt, Han Xu's journey in the WNBA has been highly anticipated. Upon entering the WNBA, Han Xu faced many challenges. During her rookie season, she spent most of her time on the bench. However, she did not lose heart. She made use of her limited playing time to carefully observe her opponents, learn from her teammates' skills, and strive to improve herself. In 2023, in a game against the Las Vegas Aces, she scored 24 points with an impressive 11 out of 12 shots, setting a new career high in the WNBA and becoming the key to the team's victory. This season, Han Xu has firmly established herself as an important rotational player for the team. Her three-point shooting percentage reached 44.4%, with a very high offensive efficiency, making her an indispensable part of the team. While competing in the WNBA, Han Xu also had to balance her national team duties. However, she skillfully integrated the experiences from both sides, bringing back advanced tactical concepts from the WNBA to China, and bringing the resilience honed in the…
