Liaoning Seeks Revenge First Game: Beijing vs Liaoning In the previous match between Beijing and Liaoning, Liaoning narrowly lost 105-106 to Beijing. The upcoming matchup is highly anticipated. Liaoning has recently achieved a four-game winning streak, including victories over traditional powerhouses like Xinjiang and Guangdong. It's worth noting that Liaoning's lineup is not complete, with their main players logging significant minutes. Despite this, they have managed to withstand the pressure and secure hard-fought wins. Although Ferg's shooting has dipped, Wells has stepped up, scoring over 30 points in three consecutive games. Wang Lanchen has also scored in double digits in three straight games, while veterans Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu continue to exert their influence in the paint. Zeng Fanbo Aims for Breakout Facing Beijing away tomorrow, Liaoning must continue to rely on team play and strong defense. To alleviate their personnel shortage, Liaoning has signed foreign player Justin Patton. Beijing has lost six games in the second stage, although they persist in playing as a team, their scoring is quite even among players, and the three foreign players have not been able to carry the team in crucial moments. Zhou Qi has also been continuously absent, and his participation in the home game…

Latest CBA News! Liaoning Officially Announces Patton, Zhou Qi Returns to Battle Liaoning, Boban's Arrival Time Confirmed Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has recently achieved a four-game winning streak, defeating strong teams like Xinjiang and Guangdong. However, the team's lineup shortcomings are evident, mainly due to the lack of a dominant big foreign player. To address this, coach Yang Ming had to increase the playing time of veterans Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu. Fortunately, the issue has been resolved with the arrival of new big foreign player Patton. After completing his physical examination, Liaoning has officially announced his signing. The team has submitted Patton's registration materials to the CBA Company for review. Once approved, Patton will officially represent Liaoning in upcoming games, making his debut against Beijing. At only 27 years old and in the prime of his career, Patton stands at an official height of 2.11 meters and was an NBA first-round draft pick. He is not a technical player and has average offensive capabilities but excels in physical attributes, particularly in defense and rim protection. For Liaoning, these characteristics align well with their requirements – as long as he can focus on rim protection and defense, occasionally scoring easy baskets will suffice. Patton's addition will alleviate the lineup issues, allowing Han Dejun and the two small foreign players to have more rest. His performance in the game against Beijing will be highly anticipated. Liaoning is prepared for a fierce battle against Beijing, who also has plans for this match. According to head coach Xu Limin, Zhou Qi, who missed…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the 24th round of the 2024/25 CBA regular season concluded with a total of 8 intense matches. Among them, the focus was on Xinjiang's home victory over Beijing, Liaoning's home win against Guangdong, and Zhejiang Fangxingdu's home triumph over Qingdao. Additionally, Ningbo, Shandong, and Shanxi all secured victories at home, while only Shanghai managed to win away from home, extending their winning streak to 11 games. After this round of matches, Zhejiang Fangxingdu remains at the top of the standings, but their lead over second-placed Shanxi is not significant. Zhejiang Chouzhou achieved a remarkable 10-game winning streak in this round, propelling them into the top three. Meanwhile, Xinjiang dropped out of the top three after losing in the previous round but managed to stabilize their fourth position with a win in this round. Zhejiang Fangxingdu 103-89 Qingdao Guoxin Pharmaceutical: This match was also a highlight of the round, with Zhejiang Fangxingdu delivering an impressive performance at home to defeat Qingdao and avoid a second consecutive loss. Zhejiang Fangxingdu secured their 20th win of the season, accumulating 44 points to maintain their lead at the top of the standings. Qingdao's away loss ended their winning streak, leaving them with 39 points and still ranked eighth. Ningbo Dingwo 92-85 Guangzhou Langtai Haiben: In this game, Ningbo established an advantage in the first half and held off Guangzhou's counterattack in the second half to secure a victory at home. Ningbo claimed their eighth win of the season, surpassing Tianjin to rise to 14th place. Guangzhou has been on…

This season in the CBA has been incredibly competitive due to the absence of a dominant super team, giving multiple teams a chance at the championship. In the first stage, one team stood out with an impressive record of 9 wins and 1 loss, ranking them first in the CBA. As a traditional powerhouse, many fans believed they had a good shot at winning the title this year. However, as the second stage commenced, they began to reveal more and more issues. In their last four games, they suffered three losses and only one win, causing them to drop out of the top six in the rankings. If these players are not replaced, it seems unlikely that the team will be able to secure the championship. In the CBA regular season match between Xinjiang and Beijing, both traditional strong teams, the game was fiercely contested. Beijing led in the first half, but in the second half, their offense stalled, ultimately resulting in a 108:97 reversal by Xinjiang. After this loss, their record stands at 16 wins and 7 losses, dropping them to seventh place in the standings, outside the top six. Over the past four games, they have won only one (a narrow 110:109 victory over Tongxi, almost suffering a buzzer-beater), and if we look at the entire second stage, they have only managed 7 wins against 6 losses, with victories mostly coming against weaker opponents. Below is a list of the teams Beijing has faced during the second stage: Teams they've beaten include: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beikong, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Liaoning…

Beijing Men's Basketball Team spent a lot of money signing Zhou Qi this season, hoping to recreate the glory of the past. However, this top-paid player has been in a state of recuperation and rest, which makes people think of the old saying: "It's easy to spend money, but hard to get things done." In the home game against Tongxi, Beijing Men's Basketball Team won a tough victory thanks to Jerman's crucial layup at the last moment. The game was extremely difficult, with the entire four quarters spent in a tug-of-war. This hard-won victory finally ended the team's losing streak, but everyone's attention was focused on one person, Zhou Qi, who had missed five games. After the game, Zhou Qi appeared in the corridor outside the locker room and had to stop for an interview when he was discovered by reporters. He said that his flu this time was quite severe, although he was no longer feverish, he still needed more time to recover. Counting from the injury in last year's playoffs, Zhou Qi has rested for nearly half a year. During this period, Beijing Team gave him ample time to rest and recuperate, hoping that he could fully recover before returning to the court. In the preseason in October, Zhou Qi finally put on Beijing Team's jersey and appeared in front of the fans, but he had to leave the court after only six minutes due to an ankle sprain, and then rested for nearly two months. After returning to the court, Zhou Qi only played seven games for…

Beijing unleashes the "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique, aiming for a double kill against Liaoning, Yang Ming is in trouble Beijing wants to achieve a strong double kill against Liaoning in the second round of the Beijing-Liaoning battle. Indeed, Beijing has recently experienced a new wave of injuries, resulting in them facing many strong opponents with an incomplete lineup. However, it is precisely this experience that has further honed their domestic lineup. Just as Xu Limin said earlier, their general direction is not wrong! As long as they continue to work hard and persist in this direction, Beijing can also achieve its set goals! After all, they are no longer what they used to be. Not to mention the addition of Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun, their existing domestic lineup has also made significant progress. Xu Limin has now unleashed this "Cooked Leopard Palm" technique, aiming to achieve a strong double kill against the opponent in the second round of the Beijing-Liaoning battle. Can they really succeed? Let's take a look together! I believe everyone is very clear that Liaoning is not a soft target. Not to mention their successful consecutive championship last season, even the Liaoning dynasty has emerged! This has instantly boosted their self-confidence to new heights. Indeed! Since core players like Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin suffered new waves of injuries, Liaoning's performance on the court has indeed fluctuated to a certain extent. But the previous games were not without gains. Besides Willes transforming into the team's new thigh and helping the team defeat Xinjiang, one of the…

The CBA regular season has reached its 24th round, bringing both joy and sorrow to different teams. The change in foreign player usage rules has made the strengths and weaknesses of the league more apparent. Looking at the standings, the overall situation seems settled, with the top 12 teams largely in place. The CBA has effectively been divided into five tiers, with seven teams virtually eliminated early, five teams vying for the top spot, and another five competing for three spots in the top eight. Let's take a look at the breakdown: Fifth Tier: Fujian and Jiangsu Fujian has only managed one win so far, while Jiangsu has secured three victories. These two teams have little ambition and have already said goodbye to the playoffs. They can only fight for honor from here on out, as their overall strength is several levels below the other powerhouses. Fourth Tier: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Sichuan, Ningbo, and Tianjin Overall, these five teams are struggling hard for playoff spots. However, they all rely heavily on foreign players, with little support from their domestic players. When the foreign players are not performing well, losing is inevitable. Although it appears that these five teams have a chance to enter the playoffs, it is very difficult. After all, they are a level behind Tongxi, Beikong, Guangdong, and Shanghai. Honestly, these five teams are also virtually eliminated; let's wait and see! Third Tier: Jilin, Tongxi, and Beikong Jilin is currently outside the playoff positions, but with the return of Jiang Weize and Jiang Yuxing, Jilin will surely launch an…

Do you know who I'm talking about? It's the Big Demon, Zhou Qi! As a top-paid player moving from Guangdong Men's Basketball to Beijing Men's Basketball, he has only played 7 games out of the 23 rounds already played in the league. He missed 15 games, and leaving aside the wins and losses, such an attendance rate is indeed shocking. On December 30th, during the New Year's Clash, Beijing Men's Basketball will challenge Xinjiang Men's Basketball away from home. This is Zhou Qi's former team, and also the only place where he won a championship ring. He probably won't dare to go to the away game, right? Why? Those who understand, understand! Injuries have become an insurmountable obstacle for Zhou Qi. On the evening of December 28th, in a highly anticipated interview, Zhou Qi willingly accepted an in-depth visit from Beijing media. With a candid and slightly tired tone, he shared his recent arduous battle with the flu. Zhou Qi frankly admitted that this bout of influenza was no small matter, and the severity of the illness exceeded expectations. Despite tireless efforts, although his body temperature has returned to normal, full recovery still requires time, and he must patiently wait for the gradual return of his strength. During the interview, keen journalists noticed subtle changes in Zhou Qi's physique and added reports, pointing out that this giant on the basketball court seems to have lost weight recently, with slightly gaunt cheeks, but his eyes still sparkle with an indomitable spirit. Since the start of this season, Beijing Men's Basketball has…

Even though Beijing has indeed seen a number of promising young talents emerge in recent years, the team's excessive emphasis on seniority has allowed many veterans to continue occupying crucial positions. Despite the change in head coach to Xu Limin this season, under his leadership, several veteran players have remained firmly entrenched. If Xu Limin lacks the courage to "remove" them from their positions, the team's prospects, even with the anticipated return of Zhou Qi, may not be particularly optimistic. In the recent match where Beijing narrowly defeated Tongxi by one point thanks to Jerman's buzzer-beater, the team's three veterans—Lei Meng, Fang Shuo, and Zhai Xiaochuan—combined for only one point, which was scored by Zhai Xiaochuan through a free throw after four attempts. Had any of them performed normally, Beijing would not have been so vulnerable, allowing Tongxi to keep the game suspenseful until the last moment. Xu Limin's current rotation lineup does not feature many young players. Once the mid-career players like Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun are limited in their performance, coupled with the veterans like Zhai Xiaochuan and Fang Shuo also experiencing slumps, and considering that the foreign players' abilities are already average, Beijing will be at a significant disadvantage when facing strong teams like Shanghai, Liaoning, Guangsha, and Zhejiang. However, with the season already halfway through, Xu Limin is now in a difficult position and dare not rashly provide too many opportunities to other young players. After all, he has been very cautious even in using Zeng Fanbo, let alone other young talents who are less…

In the 23rd round of the CBA, the following players were considered to have performed poorly: Zhang Ning (Shanxi): In a close game where Shanxi narrowly defeated Zhejiang Guangsha by 2 points, Zhang Ning was a key offensive player for Shanxi. However, he was ejected from the game with two technical fouls after committing a senseless arm-clamp foul in the fourth quarter with 7 minutes and 39 seconds remaining, at which point Shanxi was only trailing by 1 point. Zhang Ning had a poor performance overall, scoring no points in the first quarter, 2 points in the second quarter, and 6 points in the third quarter. He finished the game with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 fouls, and 4 turnovers. Knight, Carlton, Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui (Guangsha): Knight struggled offensively, shooting 2 out of 10 and scoring only 6 points. Carlton went scoreless from the field, relying on free throws for his 4 points. Hu Jinqiu had an uncharacteristically quiet game, not attempting a shot in the first quarter and finishing with 0 points. Sun Minghui also had a low-scoring game, with only 3 points in the first half. Despite improving in the second half, both players had multiple turnovers, with Sun Minghui missing a crucial shot at the end of the game that could have tied the score. Fan Ziming (Beijing), Zhu Mingzhen (Nanjing), Zeng Fanri (Nanjing): Beijing narrowly won against Nanjing by 1 point. Fan Ziming had a disappointing game, scoring only 4 points and struggling defensively. Zhu Mingzhen missed a layup opportunity at the end…
