CBA Standings Update! Liaoning and Guangdong's Nemesis Upsets the Table, Signs Another NBA Ace Foreign Player, Yang Ming and Du Feng Can't Sit Still
Beijing Time, January 17th: According to the schedule, the game between Liaoning Men's Basketball Team and Ningbo Men's Basketball Team will start at 19:35. Before the game, several news from the league have come in. First of all, Ningbo Men's Basketball Team has suffered seven consecutive losses and has lost all six games against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team in the past, with a clear gap in strength between the two teams. Therefore, Yang Ming is very confident that he can give Ningbo Men's Basketball Team an eighth consecutive loss.
The second piece of news is that the competition for the top spots in the CBA standings is still very fierce. Guangsha Men's Basketball Team continues to sit firmly in first place with 27 wins and 4 losses, followed by Shanxi Men's Basketball Team with 23 wins and 7 losses, and the dark horse team Shandong Men's Basketball Team with 22 wins and 9 losses after two consecutive victories. The following rankings are Qingdao Men's Basketball Team, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team, Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, and Beijing Men's Basketball Team. These teams only differ by one win or loss, so any game before the end of the second stage in less than ten days could change their rankings.
However, at this moment, Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, ranked first, suddenly "upset the table," leaving no room for other teams. It turns out that the media has recently reported that Guangsha Men's Basketball Team has continued to invest heavily in signing NBA superstar small forward James Nunnally.
This player is 34 years old, 2 meters 01 tall, and has played for NBA teams such as the Hawks, 76ers, Timberwolves, and Rockets. Five years ago, he also joined Shanghai Men's Basketball Team. Now a free agent, he previously received offers from European leagues including Real Madrid, but Guangsha Men's Basketball Team offered the highest bid, so this foreign player ultimately chose to return to the CBA league.
According to media reports, Guangsha Men's Basketball Team hopes to continue to strengthen its frontcourt. According to the schedule, in the second-to-last game of the second stage, Guangsha Men's Basketball Team will face Liaoning Men's Basketball Team at home, and in this strong dialogue, James Nunnally will represent Guangsha Men's Basketball Team in the game. In other words, Guangsha Men's Basketball Team aims to maintain its undefeated home record. It should be noted that Guangsha Men's Basketball Team already has five foreign players, and each of them is very strong.
For example, the fourth foreign player signed by the team, Boban, easily scored a double-double in the latest game. Guangsha Men's Basketball Team's extravagant recruitment has made teams like Guangdong Men's Basketball Team envious. This season, Guangsha Men's Basketball Team has not lost a home game, with Wang Bo leading the team to double-kill Guangdong Men's Basketball Team and also defeat defending champion Liaoning Men's Basketball Team by a large margin away, as well as double-kill the second-ranked Shanxi Men's Basketball Team.
Guangsha Men's Basketball Team's strength has already surpassed the others, but Wang Bo's ambition does not stop there. After securing a playoff spot in advance, this time they strengthened by signing James Nunnally, keeping him for the playoffs to play against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team.
Last season, Guangsha Men's Basketball Team was eliminated by Guangdong Men's Basketball Team in the playoffs, and before that, they were swept by Liaoning Men's Basketball Team in the finals. These games kept Wang Bo, Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, and others sleepless at night. Despite having the strongest paper strength, they always encountered injuries at critical moments just before winning the championship. Therefore, Coach Wang Bo and the management reached a consensus that the goal this season is to maintain the health of the main players to ensure a stable entry into the playoffs, then let the foreign players form healthy competition, and finally keep the strongest four foreign players. This season is also the year when Guangsha Men's Basketball Team has the best chance to lift the championship trophy.
