The transfer window for the 2025 season has seen Liaoning football become quite active. Dalian Yibo, who plays in the Chinese Super League, will welcome foreign players like Malele and Amadou, who are part of the championship-winning team's lineup. Meanwhile, Dalian Kuncheng, the new team in the China League One, has signed foreign players like Mukeshui and Sabir, who are aiming for promotion to the top league. They were also very close to signing Joao Carlos, the tall center forward from Liaoning Ironman. On the other hand, Liaoning Ironman seems to have been relatively quiet, announcing several domestic signings, among which only Tian Yinnong has sparked interest and attention from fans. Liaoning Ironman has only officially announced the renewal of their contract with Bang Benyuyu in terms of foreign players, but they have let go of Sabir. Carlos, who still had one year left on his contract, has also been rumored to be looking for a new club.

When the final whistle blew, the game officially came to an end, with the score firmly set at 105-96. Guangdong team, playing at home, successfully defeated Qingdao team with a 9-point advantage. After winning this game, Guangdong team also ushered in a recent five-game winning streak. Let's talk about it in detail. First of all, we need to talk about the losing Qingdao team. Mentioning this matter, it is inevitable to talk about Yang Hanshen. He played for nearly 38 minutes and made 17 shots in total, hitting 6 times. However, his performance outside the three-point line was poor, missing all 3 attempts, and even failing to make a free throw, with only 1 attempt ending in failure. He successfully scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, with 2 assists and 2 steals. However, there were some unsatisfactory situations, such as 4 turnovers and a plus-minus value of -12. Looking at the overall data and efficiency on the court, it can only be said that it is a relatively average level, with nothing particularly outstanding. There are even some cases below expectations. Generally speaking, shooting skills still need to be improved. Even if you didn't watch that game, just by looking at these statistics, you can know that Yang Hanshen's overall shooting percentage is not high, especially considering his identity as an interior player. In the current basketball era, that simply won't work. You see, in today's basketball era, the focus is no longer on intense confrontation as it used to be. Instead, basketball is increasingly focusing on shooting. To…

Recently, Hu Mingxuan has arrived in Yunnan and is undergoing further rehabilitation training. As he is the absolute core of the team, Guangdong definitely attaches great importance to his recovery. Therefore, under such circumstances, Hu Mingxuan's rehabilitation team is very professional. Especially for Ye En, who was once a member of the national team, his experience is very rich, and he also knows Hu Mingxuan very well. He can lead Hu Mingxuan in rehabilitation, which is crucial for his injury recovery. This can ensure that Hu Mingxuan recovers smoothly and can also help him recover to his best state faster. Of course, Hu Mingxuan cannot play in the second stage, but if he can make a perfect comeback in the third stage, it will be enough for the team. Judging from the exposed dynamics, the main content of his rehabilitation is the shoulder, after all, this is where Hu Mingxuan was injured. In addition, there is also a team doctor and rehabilitation therapist from the National Youth Team accompanying Hu Mingxuan in rehabilitation, making this configuration already top-notch. Fortunately, Hu Mingxuan's injury did not have a significant impact, even if he only had to be out for three months, his condition when he arrives at the third stage should be fine. After that period of time, the team can also fully integrate, and it can also relieve some pressure for Xu Jie, who has indeed been too tired during this time. Now the third stage is almost over, but Hu Mingxuan is basically unable to participate in the national team…

Translation: The new training list for the men's football team includes a total of 32 players. The detailed list is shown in the figure below. In this issue, we will conduct a power ranking for them. Disclaimer: The author's ranking criteria are somewhat special, and the content does not smear any player. Those who wish to represent the national team in matches are all heroes. Fifth tier, with three players selected, including Wei Zhen, Fernandinho, and Yang Liyu. Ranking criteria: Attitude and performance did not meet expectations. Wei Zhen's performance did not meet expectations, as he often makes low-level mistakes at both the league and national team levels, such as watching the ball but not the opponent. Fernandinho has an attitude problem, for example, not chasing back after being dispossessed in the game and missing multiple national team training sessions. Yang Liyu also has an attitude problem. Fans who frequently follow Beijing Guoan know that his sharpness in the game seems to have been worn down. Fourth tier, with three players selected, including Han Pengfei, Cheng Jin, and Tao Qianglong. Ranking criteria: No performance opportunities in the World Cup qualifiers, and average potential. Han Pengfei, a '93-born player, has passed the period of improvement, and his skills and fundamentals are basically fixed. Cheng Jin plays with imagination, but unfortunately, his physique is a shortcoming, which will greatly limit his ability to reach higher levels. Tao Qianglong is similar to Cheng Jin, both mentally superior to physically, wanting to perform advanced moves but the body can't keep up. Third tier, with…

Tongxi Team, as a late entrant to the CBA, has not been very competitive in the league, but the team's ambition is not weak. Since the previous season, they have been chasing the playoffs, aiming to break the team's embarrassing record of never making it to the playoffs! Unfortunately, despite Tongxi's efforts, they have remained elusive from the playoffs, and each time at the critical moment of competition, the team fails to deliver. This season, Tongxi has shown similar signs! After entering the second stage, Tongxi performed quite well, once pushing their record to the top 8 in the league. However, as the regular season entered the second half, Tongxi's performance plummeted! In the last six games, Tongxi lost five, resulting in a record of 13 wins and 15 losses, with a win rate falling below 50%, and their ranking dropped to 12th in the league, with their playoff position under threat! Jilin currently ranks 13th with 10 wins and 18 losses, trailing Tongxi by three games. Although their performance has not been good, the key factor is that their core players Jones and Jiang Yuxing are injured. Once these two return, Jilin's strength will significantly improve, posing a considerable threat to Tongxi! For Tongxi, whether they can secure their playoff spot or have it taken away by opponents depends on their future performance; the team needs more victories! Fortunately, Tongxi faced a relatively weaker opponent this game, presenting them with a good opportunity to win! This game, Tongxi faced Jiangsu! Jiangsu has so far achieved a record of 5…
