In the new regulations announced last August, the selection of the highest-ranked player from a single season in the European series has been changed to selecting the highest-ranked player only from the four domestic series events this season. The winner will receive an additional £150,000 bonus sponsored by BetVictor (however, this bonus does not count towards the ranking). The four domestic series events are the English Open, Northern Ireland Open, Scottish Open, and Welsh Open. With three stations already completed, three different champions have emerged, making this year's competition particularly fierce. With only one Welsh Open remaining, it will only be determined after the Welsh Open ends on February 10-16, 2025, who will ultimately win the additional £150,000 bonus. In the final of the English Open, Neil Robertson defeated Chinese player Wu Yize, who reached the final for the first time, to win the championship, plus the results of the other two events, he is currently ranked first in the domestic series standings. In the final of the Northern Ireland Open, world number two Kyren Wilson defeated world number one Judd Trump to win the championship, plus the results of the other two events, he is currently ranked second in the domestic series standings. In the Scottish Open, Lei Peifan successfully advanced to the final by defeating many top players and won his first ranking event championship by defeating fellow Chinese player Wu Yize in the final, plus the results of the other two events, he is currently ranked third in the domestic series standings.

After five seasons with the Guangdong team, during which he played in 171 games and averaged 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, Marshon Brooks has finally left the team. Throughout his tenure with Guangdong, Marshon accumulated a total of 3,888 points, 994 rebounds, and 826 assists, making him a true contributor to the team's success. However, time waits for no one, and age has caught up with Marshon. Following his Achilles tendon rupture, he has aged rapidly, and his offensive prowess is no longer as sharp or lethal as it once was. This season, Marshon represented Guangdong in 39 games, averaging only 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game in 18 minutes of playtime, marking career lows across the board. Zhu Fangyu, the general manager of the Guangdong Southern Tigers, openly stated that the decision to part ways with Marshon was primarily due to concerns over his age and offensive efficiency. Despite the confusion and speculation surrounding the timing of Guangdong's decision to release Marshon, the team has been transparent about its intentions. They have made it clear that they are seeking a more impactful foreign player to replace him, and this statement holds true. According to media personality Xue Sijia, "Sources reveal that after amicably terminating their contract with Marshon Brooks, the Guangdong Southern Tigers are interested in signing Nathan Knight, an interior player who previously played for NBA teams such as the Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves." It turns out that Guangdong had already identified a potential replacement for…

Heroes Compete in Haikou, Mount Tai Trains in the Cold! Tang Chuang Leaves, No Domestic Reinforcements, Dongti: Choi Kang-hee Reluctant to Play Friendlies Winter training and drills, who wouldn't want to go somewhere warm? Shanghai Port went to Abu Dhabi, while teams like Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan, Chengdu Rongcheng, Changchun Yatai, Qingdao West Coast, Dalian Yibo, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, China League One's Nantong Zhiyun, and Chongqing Tongliang Long all went to Haikou. They can easily arrange friendly matches on-site, but Shandong Taishan has moved to the Bund for winter training in the cold! Choi Kang-hee is a "fool"! The relegation-threatened team, Changchun Yatai, won 4-1 against Qingdao West Coast in a friendly match in Haikou. On January 22nd, Yatai will face Chongqing Tongliang Long for their fourth teaching match of the Haikou winter training. Since Li Xiaopeng took over Qingdao Hainiu, players like Hao Junmin and Liu Zhenli joined the coaching staff, strengthening the team and getting back on track. Recently, they completed a friendly match against Shandong Taishan B team, with Hainiu winning 3-0. However, Taishan is training in Shanghai during the winter, and since neither of the Shanghai teams are there, there are "no" opponents. It seems that Taishan's goal for the new season will not be set too high. Some fans jokingly say, "We need to avoid relegation." With old Cui and Jinan Wen L in place, avoiding relegation is not impossible, but the team needs to complete its generational change. Don't just drift along. As an old club in the Chinese Super League, how can you…

Shanghai Port has completed the final piece of the puzzle, and their team lineup remains luxurious, with their overall strength ranking among the top in the Chinese Super League (CSL). In today's world, people expect a "break-up fee" when ending a relationship, and it seems that football players also have their own version of this concept. Oscar and Balagas waved goodbye, leaving behind a suave figure, while the fans of Shanghai Port could only silently shed tears. Our top scorer, Wu Lei, is injured again, and we won't see him for three months. This is truly adding insult to injury! What are we going to do this season? Don't worry! Shanghai Port has money! And just like that, several new faces have arrived. Leonardo, Vital, and Anderson, who made a name for himself in the Korean league. It's said that Anderson's speed and dribbling skills make him a perfect replica of Balagas 2.0! And Vital, who was once the core player of the Brazilian Olympic team, is undoubtedly a technical wizard! These big brothers, can you carry the flag of Shanghai Port? It all depends on you! Let's talk about Leonardo first. He looks energetic, but can he replace Wu Lei's position? That's still a question mark. After all, Wu Lei is our precious gem in the CSL! As for Vital, he's described as an organizing midfielder, which is quite a technical role. We'll see if he can adapt to the rhythm of the CSL. The most anticipated is Anderson, who was the assist king of the K-League. With such…

The reigning champions, Shanghai Port, are currently undergoing their winter training in West Asia for the new season. The team is set to undergo significant changes in the midfield and attack, with key players such as Oscar, Bargas, and Citadini leaving, and Wu Lei undergoing surgery due to recurring knee injuries. As a result, Shanghai Port will have to restructure their attacking lineup for the upcoming season. The departure of these three core foreign players has significantly weakened Shanghai Port's offensive capabilities. However, the team has already signed two strong reinforcements in the transfer market: Brazilian midfielder Vital and last season's silver boot winner, Leonardo. The final foreign player is also close to being confirmed, rumored to be a technical winger from the Brazilian league. Without a doubt, Shanghai Port will continue to utilize all five foreign players in midfield and attack positions to create a new offensive system. On the evening of January 16th, Shanghai Port Club announced that their key player, Wu Lei, had undergone meniscus surgery, with an expected recovery period of around 8 to 10 weeks. Shanghai media reporters analyzed that Wu Lei's return to high-intensity competition could take at least three months, and if his recovery is average, it could take six months or even up to a year. The ten-week recovery period only allows for normal walking and moderate jogging post-surgery, but reaching competitive sports status and high-intensity confrontation capabilities often requires more time. With Wu Lei's return date uncertain, who will fill the sole domestic player position in Shanghai Port's midfield and attack…
