Translation of the article content into English: In the CBA regular season match between Xinjiang Team and Shandong Team, the two teams were locked in a fierce battle. Ultimately, Shandong Team emerged victorious with a score of 111-107, securing their win. This victory for Shandong Team not only broke Xinjiang Team's undefeated home record for the season but also put an end to Xinjiang Team's 13-game winning streak at home. Additionally, it marked the first time in seven years that Shandong Team had won a game at Xinjiang Team's home court, making this match particularly significant for Shandong Team. Notably, Xinjiang Team not only lost their undefeated home record but also suffered a loss in terms of personnel. In the first quarter, Zhao Rui, the team's backcourt player, was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and angrily pushed the referee. As a result, he was penalized with a disqualification and immediately ejected from the game. With 5 minutes and 3 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Zhao Rui drove to the basket and scored 2 points. After scoring, Zhao Rui believed that a Shandong Team player had committed a foul, but the referee did not call a foul on the Shandong Team player. This outcome left Zhao Rui highly dissatisfied, leading him to berate the referee. In response to Zhao Rui's outburst, the referee could no longer tolerate it and issued a technical foul against Zhao Rui. Unexpectedly, instead of calming down after receiving the technical foul, Zhao Rui became even more furious. He charged towards the referee and violently bumped…

Shandong Taishan's winter transfer window for reinforcement and winter training has been slow this year! In the new season, the Choi Kang-hee team must not slack off. If they don't strive for improvement, the losses will not only be poor results for the first team, but also the inability to secure a spot in the AFC Champions League. This would mean fewer opportunities to train young players and less subsidies from the Asian Football Confederation, leaving no chance for the talented young players of Luneng to shine. More and more Taishan fans are disgusted by the Korean team. Let's start with some good news to calm down. The worst foreign player in Taishan's history is gone! On January 1st, Matheus Pato posted on social media: "I am very grateful to Shandong Taishan Club. It is an honor to wear this jersey full of glory. Wishing continued success!" Delgado left a message wishing Pato well: "Good luck with your next step, brother ❤️" Although Matheus Pato's name is fierce, he did not meet expectations after transferring from Indonesian club Borneo in the summer of 2023. This was a harsh slap in the face for Choi Kang-hee. Pato played for Taishan for one and a half years, appearing in 20 games and contributing 4 goals + 3 assists. Some fans commented, "Pato's highlight was the penalty he scored against Guoan in the 2023 FA Cup, but his performance was otherwise lackluster." "He is basically locked in as one of the weakest foreign forwards in our history!" "Since 2011, this is the worst…

At 6 PM this evening, as expected, the penalty for Xinjiang team player Zhao Rui was announced, marking the second severe punishment for the team in ten days following the CBA's sanction against Qi Lin. The CBA has imposed a five-game suspension and a 100,000 yuan fine on Zhao Rui. Normally, the maximum penalty for a suspension is three games according to the CBA's established standards, but Zhao Rui received a five-game ban, clearly exceeding the limit. However, the CBA provided an explanation: Zhao Rui physically collided with the referee and used his finger to point at the referee while using insulting language during the process of leaving the court. These two factors combined meant that even the maximum penalty was not enough, hence an additional two games were added to the suspension. Zhao Rui was only fined 100,000 yuan, contrary to the speculated 150,000 yuan penalty, which is beneficial to him personally since fines are typically paid by the individual and not by the club. The five-game suspension will give Zhao Rui time to cool down. Before the CBA's penalty was announced, Zhao Rui had already realized his improper behavior and apologized through his social media. However, the apology did not affect the CBA's decision to impose the penalty. Frankly speaking, it was the unprofessionalism of the referees that led to Zhao Rui's anger, but whether there will be internal penalties for the relevant referees as in the past remains unknown. Regardless, Zhao Rui has paid the price for his actions. Zhao Rui's punishment has sparked discussions among fans…

107-111, Xinjiang team caused an upset by losing at home to Shandong men's basketball team, suffering their first home defeat of the season and missing out on a 15-game winning streak. The game was very intense and close, with many fouls, free throws, and conflicts, controversies, and the referees' whistles were about to blow out. At the critical moment, Shandong team remained more calm, or justice prevailed, so they had the last laugh. Xinjiang team's home whistle was bombarded by everyone, no wonder it is called the devil's home court, 5 against 8 is really hard to win, Shandong team did a good job. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game. Xinjiang media: "Xinjiang lost to Shandong, the unbeaten record at home was broken. In the past three games, their rebounding problems need to be taken seriously." Shandong media: "Shandong men's basketball team won away from Xinjiang, which is really not easy under such difficult circumstances. They defeated not only their opponents. Facing the strong team Xinjiang in the entire league, breaking the spell of the home team's undefeated this season. Coach Qiu Biao led the resilient Shandong men's basketball team, with the powerful "Little Shark" Tao Hanlin, Yu Dehao's key performance from outside, substitute foreign aid Moore also took the lead at a critical moment, the high-speed team played impeccable! It was not easy to achieve this victory under such difficult circumstances! Not simple!" Shanxi media: "Coach Qiu Biao led Shandong High-Speed to break Xinjiang's unbeaten record at home, and Shandong High-Speed defeated Xinjiang…

Many fans jokingly comment that in terms of issuing fines, the CBA league outpaces other basketball leagues around the world. Zhao Rui, who collided with a referee during the Xinjiang versus Shandong match, quickly received a fine from the CBA company, with less than 20 hours elapsing from the end of the game to the issuance of the fine, demonstrating high efficiency indeed. The CBA officially announced that Xinjiang player Zhao Rui would be suspended for 5 games and fined 100,000 yuan for colliding with a referee, while Xinjiang head coach Liu Wei was fined 20,000 yuan. After the announcement, the first reaction of the fans was: too light! After the Xinjiang versus Shandong match, media figures had already speculated on the number of games Zhao Rui would be banned and the amount of his fine. Zhao Rui's unnecessary contact with the referee falls under two major clauses of the CBA, with specific penalties ranging from a suspension of 1-3 games and a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 yuan, or a suspension of 3-6 games and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. Judging from the final outcome, it appears that the CBA company has invoked the second clause, which stipulates a suspension of 3-6 games and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. Objectively speaking, Zhao Rui's action was quite malicious and seriously affected the image and order of the CBA league. Even if the CBA company were to impose the maximum penalty, directly suspending him for 6 games and fining him 200,000 yuan, or even suspending him for…

On January 1st, in the 25th round of the CBA regular season, Xinjiang tasted their first home defeat of the season, ending their 14-game winning streak with a 107:111 loss to Shandong Express. However, the disappointment of the home defeat was not the only regret, as Zhao Rui's irrational behavior on the court may lead to more severe punishment. He was disqualified and sent off the court after only three minutes of play, paying the price for his impulsive actions. Did he regret it after the game? It seems not! From a sentence on his social media, we can understand his current mentality. Rather than saying he regrets it, he is still resentful of the referee's actions. After the game, Zhao Rui left a comment under a video about him: "I get scolded when I win, and I get scolded when I lose. I might as well retire!" The incident occurred with over five minutes left in the first quarter when Zhao Rui attempted a layup. Yu Dehao's defense appeared to involve a foul, and during the physical contact, Zhao Rui almost collided with the basket stanchion. Zhao Rui believed it should have been a two-plus-one play, but the referee did not acknowledge it. Filled with anger, Zhao Rui confronted the referee, who responded with a technical foul warning. This only intensified Zhao Rui's anger, and he rushed forward, using his chest to push the referee. The referee, caught off guard by Zhao Rui's aggression, retreated several meters before regaining his footing. As expected, Zhao Rui immediately received another unsportsmanlike…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, Zhao Rui finally made an official apology for his collision with the referee during the CBA "New Year's Day Battle" between Xinjiang and Shandong, which caused significant trouble. Zhao Rui stated that due to poor personal emotional management, he engaged in an uncalm behavior of colliding with the referee. Here, he solemnly offers his deepest apologies to everyone affected. Despite Zhao Rui's timely apology, the CBA officials will still impose additional penalties on him. Referring to past experiences and relevant regulations, the CBA company is likely to issue a heavy penalty of a six-game suspension plus a fine of over 200,000 yuan. On the other hand, the first week of CBA All-Star voting results have been released, with Hu Jinqiu and Zhao Rui becoming the top vote-getters for the South and North respectively. Notably, Xu Jie received 294,315 votes, surpassing Zhao Rui to become the All-Star guard vote king. On the Liaoning side, Zhao Jiwei, who had been absent from several games due to injury, officially joined the team for their trip to Jilin and is expected to make an early return. Everyone has watched basketball for so many years, but this is the first time they've seen a player dare to directly confront a referee. Zhao Rui has previously engaged in "self-destruction," but never had unnecessary physical contact with a referee. After the incident, Zhao Rui was also very regretful, as it was just a momentary lapse of reason where he "lost his head" and pushed the referee. "After calming down, I deeply reflected.…

In this round of the CBA league, Beijing BAIC Men's Basketball Team defeated Liaoning Men's Basketball Team with a score of 105-90. Although Liaoning could keep up with the score in the first three quarters, they collapsed in the last quarter and lost to us. Although Liaoning didn't start the new year well, this game turned out to be a blessing in disguise for them. Why do I say that? Because Liaoning is not concerned about winning or losing a single game, nor are they focused on their final record in the regular season; instead, they have set their strategic sights on ultimately competing for the championship. Moreover, there were three pretty good pieces of news for Liaoning after the game. Liaoning's 11-man rotation Secondly, let's talk about this game. The rotation in our game has increased significantly. Look, Liaoning had 11 players participate in the rotation in this game, even Zhang Junhao, who played the least, got six minutes of playing time. This is the largest rotation since Liaoning entered the second stage. Many players didn't just come on in garbage time; for example, Zhang Junhao and Li Huyi had scattered opportunities in the first half. In the end, Liaoning gave up this game first and sent on many substitutes, and Beijing did the same. These substitute players got great exercise opportunities, which is really good news for Liaoning. In this game, Yu Zechen was awesome, scoring 9 points, which is no small feat. It's the highest score he's achieved since the second stage began and ranks second this…

Translation of the article content into English: On the latest CBA standings, both Xinjiang and Guangdong men's basketball teams have achieved relatively ideal results under difficult circumstances. Xinjiang has won 18 games and lost 5, ranking fourth despite injuries to key players such as Wu Guanxi, Abudu Salamu, and Zhao Rui; while Du Feng's Guangdong team, with a record of 13 wins and 11 losses, ranks ninth, which is even more remarkable. The success of both teams can be attributed in part to Huang Rongqi's departure from Xinjiang to join the Guangdong men's basketball team! This move has proven to be an absolute win-win-win situation for Xinjiang, Guangdong, and Huang Rongqi himself! Xinjiang has gained space for development by releasing two key guards, Huang Rongqi and Yu Dehao. Why did they do this? The team has decided to focus on nurturing young talents like Yili Fulaati and Xierzati, further transforming the team with younger players! Practice has shown that this decision was very correct. This season, Yili and Xierzati have performed impressively. Yili Fulaati, in particular, has shown potential to become a CBA star guard, averaging 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2 assists in the first 24 rounds, becoming an indispensable rotational player for the team; Xierzati averages 7.8 points and 1.2 assists, also performing well. Guangdong has found a breakthrough scorer in Huang Rongqi. His quick penetration ability has brought a different kind of impact to Guangdong! This season, Guangdong has been lacking in players who can stretch the defense and score additional points within their existing system! Huang…

Just now, the well-known blogger "I Love Women's Basketball" posted on social media that Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has signed Guerantes, the main player of Puerto Rico Women's Basketball Team. Guerantes averaged 12.3 points and 3.3 rebounds when representing Puerto Rico Women's Basketball Team at the Paris Olympics last summer, which is still very good. Guerantes scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists when representing Puerto Rico Women's Basketball Team against China Women's Basketball Team in the Paris Olympics, making her the best performing player on the Puerto Rican team. This time, Guerantes joining forces with Shanghai Women's Basketball Team is bound to bring about some changes to the current championship landscape of the WCBA, especially since Shanghai Women's Basketball Team already has two excellent foreign players, Cardozo and Bradford, this season. So far this season, Cardozo has been averaging 19.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3 assists, ranking ninth on the scoring list, while Bradford has been contributing an average of 17.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3 assists for Shanghai Women's Basketball Team, ranking 18th on the scoring list. Therefore, the two foreign players of Shanghai Women's Basketball Team have performed very well this season. Now that Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has signed another strong player like Guerantes, it seems they are determined to aim for the championship. In the 17 games played so far this season, Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has achieved a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, ranking fifth in Group A, only half a game behind Zhejiang Women's Basketball Team, and their points are…
