Some teams in the CBA have already played 16 rounds, and the differences between the teams are very obvious. It has been confirmed early that 8 teams will not qualify for the playoffs, while the championship contenders have also been identified. The focus now is on the final rankings and the playoff matchups. For Liaoning Men's Basketball, the operations this season have been somewhat confusing. Keeping Ferg is beyond reproach, and there is no problem with giving up the priority renewal rights for Morand. Continuous renewals have caused Morand's salary to become too high, becoming a burden on the team. Under the new foreign player policy, it is no longer possible to sign suitable foreign players. However, with the departure of Sha Yuek and Aqiu'er, the depth of the team's lineup has suddenly become thin. This is compounded by the absence of Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, and Cong Mingchen, making Liaoning Men's Basketball struggle. Fortunately, the addition of Wells has become the best signing of the season, offering high returns at a low cost. Now Patton has arrived in Shenyang, and the registration issues are expected to be resolved soon. However, it remains to be seen whether this Patton can meet expectations. It is now rumored that James-Weber, a former teammate of Ferg, will also join. Weber stands at 2 meters 06 tall and is 31 years old, currently in his prime. He can play as a small forward and power forward. Weber was an undrafted NBA player in 2016. In 2020, he represented the American men's basketball team with…

On January 5th, the CBA regular season is in full swing. The situation of Liaoning team is highly concerned by everyone. The team has been somewhat unstable recently, with their ranking once dropping. Fortunately, they have managed to secure victories in subsequent matches and have now returned to the top four in the standings. In addition, Liaoning team has not stopped their recruitment efforts, with the addition of big foreign aid Patton. Due to registration issues, Patton did not participate in any games after joining the team, but he has now finally completed his registration. With Patton's arrival, Liaoning team's 12-man roster is about to be adjusted. The backcourt of Liaoning team is now well-staffed, with Zhao Jiwei returning from injury and foreign aids Wells and Fergie also on board. Yan Shouqi made a comeback from illness in the last game, scoring 20 points against Jilin. Wang Lanqin is also gradually improving, so Liaoning team does not need to worry about their backcourt anymore. The small forward position is currently a weak point for Liaoning team, mainly due to Zhang Zhenlin's injury absence. Yang Ming is currently using Zhao Lishou and Yu Zechen. However, these two players have not been consistent in their performances, forcing Yang Ming to sometimes play three guards. This strategy works against average teams, but when facing teams with strong frontlines, such as Beijing team, it becomes problematic. Fortunately, Liaoning team has signed Weber, who will bring improvements upon his arrival. The frontline now has reinforcements thanks to Patton's addition. The lineup is clear, consisting of…

In this round of matches, Guangdong team faced Shandong men's basketball team, which had just won five consecutive victories and temporarily ranked fifth in the standings, and had just defeated Xinjiang team! It is likely that most fans thought before the game that Guangdong team would suffer another defeat, but unexpectedly, Guangdong team eventually laughed to the end, and even defeated Shandong team in the fourth quarter, which they were not good at! Similar to the victories in the previous stage, Xu Jie still played the role of a small foreign aid in this game, Jilunwater spared no effort, and Morland was able to do both inside and outside! The three horses drove at the same time to help the team win a victory with difficulty! However, it is different from the victories in the previous stage because Xu Jie "only" played for 43 minutes and 56 seconds in this game. He got two minutes of rest in the first quarter, including the decisive two minutes in the last quarter when he could sit on the bench to rest! Why do I use the word "only" in quotation marks to describe Xu Jie's playing time of 43 minutes and 56 seconds in this game? Because in the past two games, his playing time has been more than 46 minutes! Besides, it is naturally impossible for him to sit on the bench to rest in the decisive moments of the fourth quarter! So why did Xu Jie get the opportunity to rest in the first and fourth quarters of this game?…

The championship puzzle of Xinjiang men's basketball team has a conspicuous blank, and the name of this blank is Zhao Rui. The once-promising strong guard now has to temporarily leave the court due to a collision with the referee. A five-game suspension and a fine of ten thousand yuan, this is not only a personal loss for Zhao Rui but also a heavy blow to Xinjiang's championship aspirations. Let's first review this conflict incident. During a critical moment in the game, Zhao Rui's layup was interfered with by an opposing player. He believed that the opponent had fouled, but the referee did not call it. Zhao Rui's emotions exploded instantly. He first loudly complained to the referee and then directly used his body to collide with the referee. This scene stunned the fans at the scene and viewers in front of the TV. Was there any controversy in the referee's decision? Was Zhao Rui's behavior too aggressive? For a while, various comments and analyses filled the internet. In fact, similar conflicts between players and referees are not uncommon in the history of the CBA. Some players, dissatisfied with the refereeing, will complain or argue with the referee, but it is rare for a player to directly collide with the referee like Zhao Rui. Looking back at previous cases, we can see that the CBA league's standards for punishing such behaviors are inconsistent. Some players may be suspended for several games, while others may be fined. The specific punishment depends on the severity of the incident and the player's past performance.…

Refusal to shake hands! Xu Jie expresses dissatisfaction after the game! Du Feng no longer shirks responsibility, speaks out publicly for Xu Jie! 98-93, Guangdong men's basketball team defeated the Shandong men's basketball team with a strong momentum at home! The moment the final whistle sounded, Xu Jie, sitting at the end of the bench, turned around and headed straight for the locker room! He, who is usually low-key, modest, and polite, this time refused to shake hands with the opponent after the game! To be honest, this scene is very rare. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the first time in Xu Jie's career that he refused to shake hands with the opponent after the game! So, what made Xu Jie make such a move? Personally, I think there are two reasons! The first point is very obvious, which is because of Chris' foul on him in the third quarter. From the slow-motion replay, Chris' action was completely a malicious foul aimed at the person, and the severity was enough to be expelled on the spot! But Xu Jie did not respond excessively during the game process. After getting up from the ground, he didn't even look at Chris, then executed two free throws and one throw, scoring five points in a row! Using Xu Jie's words to respond to Chris, it should be "Leave the foul to you, take the victory away"! If the first point is because of dissatisfaction with the opponent's foul, then the second point is dissatisfaction with his own and the team's performance!…

The 26th round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued, with a focus on the fierce battle between the strong Guangdong men's basketball team and the dark horse Shandong men's basketball team. In the end, Guangdong team, with its superior strength, defeated Shandong team 98-93 thanks to the excellent performance of Xu Jie, Jilunwote, Morland, etc. It is worth mentioning that in this game, the local main lineup of Guangdong team, including Xu Jie, Huang Rongqi, Du Runwang, Zhang Haojia, Ren Junfei, etc., all performed very well, thus making up for the team's lack of qualified small foreign aid. However, Guangdong team has officially announced the layoff of Les, and the introduction of new small foreign aid is only a matter of time. With the arrival of the NBA league layoff time, it has been reported that the western powerhouse Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA league have laid off the forward guard Daisen Nicks to make room for Newton. Previously, Nicks had played four seasons in the league and showed a strong core lineup play style. Judging from the game, Nicks is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for Guangdong team's core foreign aid play style. During his time at the Rockets, Nicks once scored the highest score of 45 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block with 29 shots. Although Nicks' personal ability is not enough to stand firm in the NBA league team, he is definitely an offensive core-level scoring machine in the development league. Moreover, Nicks has the standard height and…

Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team has been in better form after adjustments, and after defeating Fujian Men's Basketball Team in the last game, they have won three consecutive victories, rising to 14th place in the league. After Coach Zhou Peng returned to the court, he provided a lot of help to the team on both offense and defense. In the last five games, Zhou Peng has continuously scored over 20 points, with a three-point shooting percentage exceeding 50%. The former ace forward continues to explode, truly rejuvenating his career. It is not an exaggeration to say that if Zhou Peng maintains this competitive state, he has a good chance of returning to the national team during the next window period. In the match against Fujian Men's Basketball Team, Zhou Peng played for 41 minutes, scoring 15 out of 11 shots, including 7 out of 10 three-pointers, and scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1 block, winning 21 points more than the opponent on the court. As a coach and player, Zhou Peng has become the top domestic scorer for Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team, becoming the pillar of the team's offensive end. Judging from the performance on the court, as the game progressed, Zhou Peng gradually found his game state. Whether it was dribbling offense, mid-to-long-range shooting, or defense and organization, he has regained the form of last season. According to statistics, the 35-year-old Zhou Peng has played 15 regular-season games, averaging 16.7 points, which is the first among domestic players in the team. He averages 6.5 three-point attempts per…

According to well-known player agent Dong Hao, Guangdong Southern Tigers have officially offered a contract to 1.80m guard Walker, who previously played for NBL's Hong Kong Aurochs. Dong Hao recommended Walker to Guangdong's general manager Zhu Fangyu through private connections. Additionally, the small foreign player Les, who only played less than 5 minutes in total, has been cut by the team but received his full monthly salary of $20,000, including accommodation and meals, which is quite lucrative. You might say that Guangdong Southern Tigers are short on funds, yet they seem to be signing mediocre foreign players quite frequently, such as Barton, Arms, and Les. Even if they are paid monthly, the cumulative cost would still amount to around 250,000to250,000 to 250,000to300,000. If they had directly signed a good small foreign player, their record wouldn't have been hovering between 8th and 10th place. The current offer to Walker, who has a height disadvantage, can only serve as a temporary solution. It seems the club has decided to wait until the NBA layoff wave in February to seek a suitable small foreign player to sign. In the home game against Beijing Royal Fighters, Zhejiang Guangsha's new recruit Boban will make his debut. The team is currently at the top of the leaderboard, so maintaining a stable lineup, filling gaps, and avoiding injuries are the most important tasks. Beijing Royal Fighters have a strong frontcourt, and Guangsha fans can look forward to seeing Boban face off against Salinger, Shen Zijie, and Zou Yuchen. If these three Beijing frontcourt players do not gain…

Yang Ming's Spirit Soars with Good Fortune! Patton Debuts on the 6th, Weber on the Way, and Five Foreign Players Emerge! With Zhao Jiwei and Yan Shouqi returning to the court, Liaoning Basketball Team's strength has significantly increased. Although they faced Jilin Team away again, it was a different story this time. Even without exerting much effort, Jilin Team could not withstand the pressure, trailing by 26 points at halftime. In the second half, Yang Ming replaced the starters with substitutes for training, ultimately securing an easy victory by 21 points. As the saying goes, "When good fortune comes, one's spirits soar." After the big win against Jilin Team, Liaoning's head coach Yang Ming jokingly attributed the victory to the absence of the Shaman dance performance by the opposing team in their home court, which reduced the psychological impact on his players, eliciting laughter from everyone! Yang Ming's good mood is not just due to the big win over Jilin Team; there are more good news to come! Firstly, Patton, who has missed two games, is confirmed to make his debut on the 6th against Guangsha Team. Coincidentally, Guangsha's new foreign player, Boban, has also arrived. If Boban plays for Guangsha on the 6th as well, it will be quite a spectacle. Everyone can look forward to seeing who is more formidable between Patton and Boban. Secondly, the fourth foreign player, Weber, has officially signed with Liaoning. It is said that both parties finalized the contract details on the 28th of last month, and Weber will report to Liaoning soon.…
