After four quarters of competition, Guangdong suffered a crushing defeat to Shanghai with a score of 81-115, ending their nine-game winning streak. Contrary to external expectations, the game lost its suspense from the first half, as Shanghai's offense was relentless while Guangdong struggled like constipation. Adding to the woes, Du Feng's self-destruction, due to an argument with foreign aid Jilunwote, led to his DNP (Did Not Play), prematurely abandoning the game, resulting in another crushing defeat for Guangdong against Shanghai. It is worth noting that in the previous matchup, Guangdong lost by a whopping 33 points, and with this defeat, Shanghai has won a total of 67 points over two games, leaving Guangdong fans in shock!

CBA basketball continues to deliver exciting matchups, with Shanxi facing Guangzhou in a game where the disparity in strength between the two teams meant there wasn't much to look forward to in terms of competition. However, Guo Ailun's performance was worth paying attention to, as Beijing Enterprises' form has been inconsistent, and according to relevant information, the team is expected to make further adjustments by signing a foreign player, giving Xu Limin another chance to achieve good results. Will they be able to seize this opportunity and make the most of it? Guo Ailun, affected by injuries, had missed several games before making his return against Shanxi. Prior to this match, he played two games against Guangdong, starting for 30 minutes but failing to score with 7 attempts, grabbing 5 rebounds, completing 7 assists, and making 1 steal, with a +/- of -21. In a game against Xinjiang, he came off the bench for 26 minutes, scoring 6 points with 11 attempts, grabbing 2 rebounds, completing 8 assists, and having a +/- of -13. Despite his efforts and solid defensive play, his offensive efficiency left much to be desired. Most fans believed that Guangzhou would suffer a crushing defeat when they faced Shanxi, ranked third, away from home. However, Guangzhou's performance in the game was impressive, scoring 62 points in the first half and keeping up with their opponents, maintaining a one-point lead. But in the crucial third quarter, Shanxi's superior strength became apparent as they won by 9 points. Both teams scored 27 points in the final quarter, but…

In the 20th round of La Liga on January 19, Real Madrid defeated Las Palmas 4-1. However, the significance of this match goes beyond goals and VAR controversy. It marks the strong return of Dani Ceballos - a once forgotten talent who is gradually proving himself an indispensable member of Real Madrid's midfield. Ceballos' Brave Performance Just 27 seconds into the game, Fabio Silva scored a lightning goal for the visiting team, catching the entire Bernabeu off guard. But Ceballos quickly adjusted his state and ended the match with an outstanding performance. He created three key chances and completed 73 accurate passes out of 79 touches. In addition, he participated in 101 ball controls, second only to Bellingham (80 times), and was the player who won back possession most on the field (10 times). Ceballos successfully tackled 7 out of 5 times and forced the opponent to foul 3 times, demonstrating his importance as a tactical core of the team. When the game reached the 83rd minute, Ceballos was substituted, and the Bernabeu stands erupted in applause. "I am very grateful to the fans for recognizing my efforts," Ceballos said excitedly after the game, "This is the moment I have been most confident since joining. I will continue to work hard and strive to make the coach consider me more." Ceballos' career has not been smooth sailing. In the summer of 2017, he transferred from Betis to Real Madrid for 16.5 million euros, then seen as the successor to Luka Modric or Toni Kroos. However, under Zidane's coaching, Ceballos had…

In the CBA regular season, a strong matchup between Guangdong and Shanghai men's basketball teams took place. In their first encounter, Guangdong suffered a crushing 33-point defeat at home. For this rematch on the road, despite being in good form with a nine-game winning streak, the challenge of victory was significant. They needed to contain Lofton and open up their perimeter shooting to stand a chance, otherwise, revenge would be out of reach. Shanghai, who had previously experienced a two-game losing streak, found their rhythm with Lofton's return. They fielded their full starting lineup, determined to defend their home court and achieve a double kill over the eleven-time champions. Guangdong's starting lineup: Xu Jie, Huang Rongqi, Du Runwang, Jilunwate, Morand; Shanghai's starting lineup: Wang Zhelin, Liu Zheng, Li Hongquan, Bradso, Lofton.

Wang Zhelin dunked and then clashed with Morand, adding tension to the game. Returning to the game, Huang Rongqi made a turnover, while Liu Zheng nailed a three-pointer.

Guangdong Team's Most Suitable Forward Foreign Target with 60 Points in 39 Shots On January 22nd, Beijing time, the 33rd round of the second stage of the CBA regular season continued. Recently, the powerful Shandong men's basketball team narrowly defeated Ningbo at home with a score of 112-102. The main foreign player Ma Qi of the latter scored a new high record this season and almost overturned Shandong's more mature tactical system on his own. From the game, Ma Qi took 39 shots to force 60 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists under the circumstances that the local players of Ningbo were in poor condition and the team could not execute tactics to complete the offense. Obviously, Ma Qi will become a foreign target sought after by many teams in the CBA league in the future, and is also a good reinforcement target for Guangdong men's basketball team, which has been plagued by small foreign players. This season, Sichuan team's main foreign player Samner blasted 54 points and has always been the strongest scorer in the CBA. In addition, there are other foreign players in the CBA league, including Fergie, Wells, Goodwin, Brown, Diallo, David James, etc., who have had good scoring performances. At present, the CBA league has become a time for foreign players to compete, whether it is four quarters of 4 people or four quarters of 7 people rules, top foreign players are the desired supplement of the CBA league. Now, the traditional power Guangdong men's basketball team has entered the top five of the standings with…
