On January 3rd, Beijing time, the main program schedule of CCTV will feature exciting matchups from the CBA league. Currently, Guangsha men's basketball team leads the standings with 21 wins and 4 losses. This season, Shanxi men's basketball team and Shandong men's basketball team have also performed excellently, with both teams ranking in the top three. However, the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team, with 17 wins and 8 losses, ranks fifth and has already been eliminated from the championship race. They are now facing significant challenges to break into the top four. Let's take a look at today's program schedule and brief report. Today's CCTV5 Program Schedule for January 3rd Today's CCTV5+ Program Schedule Today will feature five CBA games. Due to CCTV's live broadcast resource issues, only one classic game can be shown: Qingdao men's basketball team hosting the second-ranked Shanxi men's basketball team at home. The last time these two teams met was during last year's summer league, when Shanxi won at home. In recent years, Shanxi men's basketball team has not defeated Qingdao men's basketball team away from home. Can this season's dark horse Shanxi men's basketball team break the curse? The highlights of the night will be the return of former players and the competition between young coaches. Today's CBA Schedule In addition to the game brought by CCTV5, the other four CBA games are also full of highlights. Beijing men's basketball team will host the top-four Zhejiang men's basketball team at home. The battle for the top four is still fierce, and it remains…

This night, the dignity of the CBA referees was shattered by Zhao Rui's outburst, collision, and ejection. The match between Xinjiang men's basketball team and Shandong team should have been a good story, but an unexpected incident occurred in the first quarter, which was particularly regrettable. The game should have been presented better. The atmosphere at Xinjiang's home court was originally quite good, with the audience looking forward to watching an exciting match. However, with five minutes remaining in the first quarter, Zhao Rui was knocked out of bounds and directly hit the basketball hoop during a layup. The referee did not call a foul on this play, which made Zhao Rui very angry. He ran to argue with the referee with great emotion, and the referee immediately gave him a technical foul. After being called for a technical foul, Zhao Rui could no longer control his emotions and rushed in front of the referee, making physical contact. The referee then quickly gave him another technical foul, ejecting him from the game. This punishment came too fast, leaving everyone on and off the court stunned. On Xinjiang's bench, the coaching staff and teammates tried to stop Zhao Rui, but it was already too late. Zhao Rui had been ejected from the game, which was a huge blow to Xinjiang since he is one of their core players. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange, with the audience starting to shout loudly at the referees to express their dissatisfaction. This scene was indeed not pleasant, especially for a New Year's…

The Night When Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team's Dignity Was Shredded by Their Former Head Coach Originally, it was thought that with Zhao Rui's disqualification, the game between Shandong and Xinjiang teams would become calmer in the following time. After all, such a big commotion at the beginning of the game would make everyone, including the players, team staff, and on-site referees, be extra cautious and careful. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Through the post-game comments from both head coaches, we can get a glimpse of the situation. First, let's talk about the Xinjiang side. Liu Wei mentioned that Zhao Rui's ejection undoubtedly had a huge impact on the entire team, and it was also caused by Zhao Rui himself. But why did things turn out this way? It's because of the flow of the game. All fans watching the game, including TV media, hope to see star players compete, but the reality is that the stars are provoked and ejected from the court. This can't help but be considered a loss for the promotion of the entire CBA event. From this, we can see how strongly Liu Wei defends Zhao Rui, as well as his dissatisfaction with the on-site referees' professional level and response ability. Of course, due to the rules set, he cannot directly comment on the referees by name, so he chose a relatively "subtle" way. However, this approach is even more effective than directly confronting them. It can only be said that when it comes to subtlety, Liu Wei is the one to watch. This…

Oh my, finally someone is directly confronting the CBA league referees. I've been watching basketball games for ten years, and I've never seen a player dare to be so aggressive towards the referees. Of course, there are tough guys like Sun Minghui, Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, as well as championship coaches Du Feng of the Guangdong team and Yang Ming of the Liaoning team. They only dare to raise their doubts and angrily confront the referees face-to-face, but they would never engage in excessive physical actions. But this time, Zhao Rui directly chest-bumped the referee. During the game between Xinjiang team and Shandong team, Zhao Rui was scoring on a layup when he was hit by Shandong's foreign aid Gali and slammed into the basketball hoop. However, the sideline referee who witnessed all this did not make any call. What's even more infuriating is that in the face of Zhao Rui's very emotional appeal, the sideline referee not only did not come forward with kind words to soothe and explain his missed call at the first opportunity, but instead gave a harsh T, provoking Zhao Rui's physical collision. Everyone knows what happened next. Zhao Rui was expelled from the game and disqualified, and then he was determined by Beijing Sports Company of China Basketball League to have seriously violated the spirit of sportsmanship and "Disciplinary Code of Chinese Men's Professional Basketball League," causing adverse effects on the CBA league. In order to maintain league discipline, Zhao Rui was given a five-game suspension and a fine of 100,000 yuan. After the…

The 26th round of CBA league matches will take place on January 3rd and 4th, with 5 games each day. There are 10 matches in total, none of which should be missed. Let's first take a look at the points ranking after the 25th round of matches: The 5 matches on January 3rd are as follows: Beijing Men's Basketball Team vs Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team In the last match, Beijing defeated the defending champion Liaoning team, while Zhejiang lost to the weaker Shenzhen team. This game is like fire and ice for both teams. Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team vs Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team Guangzhou team is currently on a 9-game losing streak, ranked 18th, and Jiangsu team is ranked 19th. Both teams want to find the feeling of winning against each other. Sichuan Men's Basketball Team vs Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team Xinjiang team lost narrowly to Shandong team at home in the last round. In this game, although Zhao Rui cannot play due to punishment from the basketball association, Xinjiang team will not go easy against Sichuan team. Fujian Men's Basketball Team vs Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team Fujian team, at the bottom of the points table, welcomes Shenzhen team, who just achieved two consecutive victories, and is likely to suffer another defeat. Qingdao Men's Basketball Team vs Shanxi Men's Basketball Team Qingdao team, who just won a game in the last round, faces Shanxi team, who is still ranked second despite playing two fewer games, and the situation is not optimistic. The 5 matches on January 4th are as follows:…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has been performing quite differently this season, causing fans to shake their heads in disbelief. The team that had consistently made it to the top four for 11 consecutive seasons is now struggling at ninth place, a situation that leaves veteran fans doubting their own eyes. Jilunwater's recent form is exhausting to watch, with an average playing time nearing 40 minutes per game. This grueling schedule is particularly demanding for an interior player, leaving Du Feng with limited options as Xu Xin and Zhang Mingchi have been virtually invisible, receiving no playing time. This lack of rotation has made the interior play extremely challenging. Morland's performance has been inconsistent, capable of scoring 20 points one game and failing to reach double digits in another. This unpredictability has made Guangdong's offense passive, especially when facing a strong interior team like Shandong, which adds to the concern. Shandong's interior duo of Chris and Tao Hanlin is arguably the strongest in the CBA. Chris' dominance under the basket is unmatched, and Tao Hanlin's improvement is evident. This formidable partnership puts immense pressure on Guangdong's interior defense. Du Feng's choices are currently quite limited. He must either continue to push Jilunwater to his physical limits or reactivate Xu Xin and Zhang Mingchi, but their previous underwhelming performances do not inspire much confidence. If the interior issues are not resolved, it will be a pipe dream for Guangdong to progress far in the playoffs. After all, in basketball, the interior is the foundation, a fact that has never changed. Xu Jie's…

As a fan who has followed the CBA for over a decade, I must say that this year's league format is incredibly interesting. After numerous rounds of competition, the strength levels of the 20 teams in the league have become clearly visible, and the gaps between the teams are gradually becoming apparent. Let me give you a thorough analysis. The most attention-grabbing aspect is undoubtedly the fierce competition among the seven top-tier teams. Guangsha, Shanxi, Zhejiang, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Shandong, and Beijing - these seven teams are locked in intense battles that can only be described as a clash of titans. Under the new rules, each game limits foreign players to a maximum of 7 appearances across 4 quarters. This change has effectively broken the previous pattern where certain teams relied on foreign players to dominate, making the competition even more intense. Although Guangsha boasts a luxurious lineup, their head coach's performance falls short, and his on-the-spot decision-making during critical moments often leaves fans on edge. Shanxi has shown solid overall strength this season, but they lack playoff experience, and their bench depth is also a concern. Zhejiang's foreign players have been impressive, and their style of play is highly entertaining, but their young domestic players still need to accumulate more experience. Xinjiang and Liaoning are both considered traditional powerhouses, but unfortunately, they have been plagued by injuries this season, leading to inconsistent form. Shandong's domestic strength is admittedly average, while Beijing still has room for improvement in terms of foreign player selection and coaching staff configuration. Moving on to the…

Guangdong's Fourth Foreign Aid Returns to Dongguan, Du Feng Relies on Him Tonight Against Tianjin, Xu Jie Injured and Needs Rest The season story of Guangdong Evergrande is never short of ups and downs and highlights. However, after a long journey and a brief period of adjustment, they are about to face new challenges. The team will play against Tianjin Men's Basketball tonight, and at this time, the news about the team's fourth foreign aid and the current injury status of core guard Xu Jie have aroused more expectations and attention from the outside world for the game. Recently, rumors about the departure of Guangdong Evergrande's fourth foreign aid, Les, were completely dispelled. Last night's video from the Evergrande base showed that Les returned to Dongguan with the team and was the first to get off the bus. This scene clarified the unfounded speculation from the outside world. Les' return to the team is undoubtedly good news for Guangdong Evergrande. In a situation where the guard line is in dire straits, his ability is expected to inject new vitality into the team and alleviate the current rotation pressure. Guangdong Evergrande is currently in a critical stage of the season, and head coach Du Feng also has to face the reality of difficulties. In the last round against Liaoning's "Guangdong-Liaoning Battle," fans saw the tenacity of the Guangdong team, but it also exposed the team's shortcomings - excessive dependence on Xu Jie in the guard line, which has become the biggest concern. As the ball-handling core of the Guangdong team, Xu…

Patton has been officially announced to join the Liaoning team for more than 72 hours, but he is still unable to represent the Liaoning team in CBA games. Despite previously following the Liaoning team to Beijing and also going to the next away game against Jilin, he faces the dilemma of having no ball to play. This is because he has not yet been registered on the CBA official website. Simply put, Liaoning's materials are not yet complete, which once again highlights the amateurish nature of Liaoning's management, especially in terms of foreign player operations over the past two seasons. Many fans spread rumors that the CBA company was on holiday on January 1st, preventing Liaoning from signing foreign players. However, the holiday on January 1st has already ended, and the CBA company is working as usual today. Why hasn't foreign player Patton been able to register yet? Therefore, the problem does not lie with the CBA company. As for why the procedures are incomplete, there are many minor channels of information. But this is no longer important. What matters is that Patton cannot play for Liaoning now, and when he can take the field depends on when the Liaoning management can complete his subsequent procedures. It is the first time this season that a team like Liaoning has officially announced a new foreign player but has not been able to deliver the procedures to the CBA company within 72 hours. The amateurish nature of Liaoning's management is reflected in this aspect. This kind of amateurish operation is not only…

Beijing Beiqi Team vs Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Team Despite some ups and downs in recent performances, Beijing Beiqi Team actually has a high win rate, currently standing at 17 wins and 7 losses in 24 games.

Unfortunately, their main guard, Chen Yingjun, is expected to be out for about two weeks due to injury. Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Team, after a ten-game winning streak, had their run halted by Shenzhen Marco Polo Team due to an incomplete lineup. Facing the formidable opponent Beijing Beiqi Team away from home, how will Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Team cope without key players such as Yu Jiahao, Wu Qian, and Cheng Shaipeng? Prediction: Beijing Beiqi Team wins at home. Sichuan Fenggu Liquor Team vs Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team Sichuan Fenggu Liquor Team mainly relies on foreign players this season, achieving a record of 7 wins and 18 losses in 25 games. They face a tough challenge against the powerful Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team. Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team has consistently ranked high in the league standings since the start of the season. In the last match, their home winning streak was stopped by Shandong High-Speed Team. It should also be noted that some of Xinjiang Yili Dairy Team's players…
