The happiest fans in the CBA should be Liaoning basketball fans! Half the team has achieved fifth place in the league!

This season, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team registered 16 domestic players, of which 13 players come from 7 prefecture-level cities in Liaoning Province! The proportion of local players reached 81% of domestic players, which is unimaginable for other teams in the CBA! The explosive growth of Liaoning basketball athletes has been throughout the entire history of the CBA, and young players from Liaoning have become a mining base for many youth teams in the CBA.
Competitive sports require commercial investment and capital support! However, for China with a long cultural background, what is more important is the "sense of belonging to one's hometown"! Capital and commerciality are transactions of "money," while "a sense of belonging" is an emotional exchange. Striving for the glory of one's hometown and striving for the glory of the country are the same principle, a spiritual pursuit beyond money! Competitive sports need not only victory but also more importantly, for whom to fight!
II. The best ten seasons of Liaoning Basketball!
14-15 season: second place in the regular season, runner-up in the playoffs!
15-16 season: first place in the regular season, runner-up in the playoffs!
16-17 season: fifth place in the regular season, fourth place in the playoffs!
17-18 season: second place in the regular season, league champion!
18-19 season: second place in the regular season, fourth place in the playoffs!
19-20 season: third place in the regular season, runner-up in the playoffs!
20-21 season: second place in the regular season, runner-up in the playoffs!
21-22 season: first place in the regular season, league champion!
22-23 season: third place in the regular season, league champion!
23-24 season: first place in the regular season, league champion!
Has Liaoning Basketball disappointed anyone in the past ten seasons? With four championships, four runners-up, and two fourth places, the achievements of the past decade are really too impressive! Liaoning Basketball does not engage in commercial operations or have the support of super-rich groups. It relies on locally trained players and head coaches who have grown up locally, completely through decades of precipitation and accumulation! In this era of material desires and capital supremacy, all of this is really too rare!
III. Half the team ranks fifth in the league!
Zhao Jiwei: out for 14 games due to injury!
Zhang Zhenlin: out for 18 games due to injury!
Cong Mingchen: out for 25 games due to injury!
Liu Yanyu: out for 15 games due to injury!
This season, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team suffered the biggest injury wave in team history! They could not even muster a complete roster of 12 players for the game against Beijing Men's Basketball Team and had to face the challenge with only 11 players! Although they lost the game, how could all Liaoning basketball fans bear to blame the players and coaches? They could only fight with half a team, without big-name foreign players, without a complete starting lineup, and could not even form a complete system! However, Liaoning still ranks fifth in the league's regular season, a result we achieved by fighting with half a Liaoning men's basketball team game by game. This achievement is something many teams can only aspire to and pursue!
All Liaoning basketball fans can rest assured and wait quietly for the return of all the players. A complete Liaoning men's basketball team still has the ability to compete for the championship. Do not abandon each other in times of distress; there is no rush to meet at the peak!
IV. Liaoning Basketball is not short of city heroes, and the future is still promising!
Han Dejun: played for Liaoning Basketball for 18 seasons!
Li Xiaoxu: played for Liaoning Basketball for 20 seasons!
Zhao Jiwei: played for Liaoning Basketball for 12 seasons!
Cong Mingchen: played for Liaoning Basketball for 11 seasons!
Currently, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team still has 4 players who have played for more than ten seasons. This is the greatest wealth of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. They rejected the temptations of the outside world and chose to stay, to share both good times and hard times! There is nothing more convincing in the world than "companionship"! This generation of players is happy, and this generation of fans is also lucky. Life is short, just a few autumns, how many tens of years are there!
Zhang Junhao: 20 years old
Li Huyi: 21 years old
Huang Qiushi: 20 years old
Ren Xuhang: 21 years old
Zhang Chenzhifeng: 21 years old
Liaoning basketball fans can rest assured; we still have a complete group of fresh forces! Zhang Junhao and Li Huyi have already shown their talents to everyone, and Zhang Chenzhifeng is gradually gaining opportunities and confidence in the game. Ren Xuhang and Huang Qiushi will also have the opportunity to play as the main players return to the team! The combination of old, middle-aged, and young players in Liaoning Basketball has no problems, and the future is still worth looking forward to!
