Zhejiang 106: 92 Beijing - perseverance and counterattack under home court advantage On January 11, Zhejiang team sat in the home court to meet Beijing men's basketball team. This game was highly concerned before the game because of the incomplete lineup of both sides. Zhejiang lost three major generals, Wu Qian, Cheng Shaipeng and Yu Jiahaoyi, as if "three ribs were broken", but the situation in Beijing was not good. Chen Yingjun, Zhou Qi and Zeng Fanbo were absent, and their strength was greatly reduced. At the beginning of the game, Zhejiang team was in high spirits, and the strategy of focusing on the inside line worked. Jones performed well under the basket, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, helping the team quickly establish a leading advantage. Beijing team seemed at a loss,…

Translation of the article content into English: On the evening of January 15th, Beijing time, multiple key matchups in the CBA regular season concluded, resulting in significant changes to the standings. Guangsha continues to dominate at the top with its strong performance, while Shanxi climbed to second after a big win, showing its dark horse potential, and Liaoning unexpectedly slipped to fifth. As the schedule progresses, the competition for playoff spots is becoming increasingly fierce. In the home game against Tianjin, Shanxi defeated Tianjin 136-113, showcasing their strength throughout the game. Shanxi led 13-9 at the start of the first quarter, but Tianjin fought back tenaciously, trailing by only four points at the end of the first quarter. However, in the second quarter, Shanxi unleashed an offensive frenzy, with a 16-6 run quickly widening the gap to double digits. At halftime, Shanxi led 80-59, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game. In the second half, Tianjin attempted to close the gap, but Shanxi played steadily in critical moments, once again expanding the lead to over 20 points. Ultimately, Shanxi won by a 23-point advantage. In this match, Shanxi demonstrated the impact and overall coordination of a top-tier team, with Diyallo scoring 19 points efficiently and Zhang Ning scoring 14 points with a 100% shooting rate. In another game, Beijing hosted Beikong but suffered a crushing defeat of 102-129. With key players such as Zhou Qi and Zeng Fanbo absent, Beijing's interior defense was repeatedly under pressure, despite the outstanding performances of foreign players Jerman and Omore.

CBA regular season, a focus match, the capital derby, Beijing men's basketball against Beikong men's basketball! If it were a complete team, Beijing's overall strength would definitely be stronger than Beikong's. However, with the absence of four main players - Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo, Lei Meng, and Chen Yingjun - the latter absolutely has the ability to fight back, or even stronger. Beijing is at a disadvantage; the team needs to defend their home court, and the performance of the outside shooters and foreign players is key - these two points cannot fail. Beikong needs to play at their true level, reduce unnecessary mistakes, and victory will naturally follow. Starting lineup: Beikong - Liu Xiaoyu, Shen Zijie, Zhang Fan, Salinge, Treis; Beijing - Zhang Cairen, Jiang Wen, Qiu Tian, Jerman, Solomon. Salinge starts with a three-pointer, Jiang Wen scores two points, Zhang Fan steals and goes on a fast break, Jerman responds with a three-pointer, Liu Xiaoyu misses a three-pointer, Zhang Cairen fails in his counterattack, Treis scores two points on the baseline, Zhang Fan continues with a three-pointer, and Beikong goes on a 5-0 run. Beijing continuously grabs rebounds but can't score. Jiang Wen breaks the scoring drought, Shen Zijie misses both free throws, Fang Shuo makes a mistake, Shen Zijie scores on a fast break and gets fouled, but still misses the free throw... Solomon opens with a three-pointer, gets two points with a double-handed dunk, and Beijing ties the game. Treis makes both free throws, Solomon cuts through the air, Salinge quickly scores a three-pointer, Fan Ziming…

On January 14th, Beijing time, the last six matches of the 30th round of the CBA regular season concluded. This night saw two incredible comebacks and three championship contenders securing big wins to stabilize their rankings. However, Xinjiang, which was in the top four not long ago, became the biggest loser of this round. The first major comeback occurred in the playoff ticket battle between Jilin and Shenzhen. Jilin has been struggling recently due to Jones' absence, resulting in poor team performance and consecutive losses. In this round, Jones finally returned and exploded with 42 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. However, the key figure who decided the outcome of the game was Jiang Weize, who contributed a 3+1 in the final 2.5 seconds to stage a near buzzer-beater. Jiang has been plagued by injuries this season, experiencing a slump for several games and disappearing from the fans' sight for quite some time. In this match, he lived up to expectations, seizing the opportunity in the chaos to deliver the decisive blow, scoring 19 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals. Together with Coach Jones, they led Jilin to a narrow 115-112 victory over Shenzhen, ending their four-game losing streak. This victory for Jilin was also quite thrilling. In the first quarter, Shenzhen came out firing on all cylinders, scoring 46 points and once leading Jilin by as many as 25 points, almost crushing them. However, Jilin showed great resilience; Jones didn't score much in the first quarter but came back strong in the second, exploding for…

"Once a legendary coach who led his team to win the CBA championship three times, why is Min Lulei now being harshly criticized? Is he solely responsible for Beikong Men's Basketball's three consecutive losses?" Beikong Men's Basketball's recent performance has been both loved and hated by fans. In the last game against Guangdong, they had a chance to win but collapsed in the last minute, losing by just one point. More heartbreaking than the loss is that this defeat has plunged Beikong into a three-game losing streak, with their ranking slipping from the top ten all the way down to 12th place, making the playoffs seem increasingly out of reach. Fans have directed their anger at head coach Min Lulei, with some calling him "conservative and rigid" and others shouting for him to "step down immediately." It seems that this once-beloved champion coach, who once enchanted Beijing fans, has now become a major "burden" for Beikong. But is the truth really that simple? If you are familiar with the CBA, you must be familiar with Min Lulei. He is a meritorious coach of Beijing basketball, having led the Shougang men's basketball team to win the championship trophy three times, and is one of the symbolic figures of Beijing basketball. In those days, his flexible tactical adjustments and trust in core players, such as fully utilizing the characteristics of players like Stephon Marbury and Sun Yue, made the Shougang team once the most dominant team in the CBA. However, this former famous coach is now the scapegoat for Beikong's poor record.…

Translation of the article content into English: The 30th round of the 2025-26 CBA regular season presented a spectacular basketball feast for fans. This round not only showcased the strength and resilience of each team but also drew special attention due to its significant impact on the standings. Beijing Shougang's match was undoubtedly one of the highlights of this round. Despite the absence of key players Zhou Qi, Chen Yingxiao, and Zeng Fanbo, the team tenaciously faced off against Fujian, who had recently shown improved form. From the start of the game, Beijing displayed excellent teamwork, with foreign player Jerman showcasing his comprehensive abilities through three-point shooting and scoring through breakthroughs, while Zhang Cairen capitalized well on scoring opportunities created by his teammates. Although they led by only three points in the first quarter at 32-29, the team's overall approach had already begun to take effect. In the second quarter, both teams saw a drop in shooting accuracy, especially Beijing, whose over-reliance on outside shooting led to low offensive efficiency. Fortunately, under the stable performance of Fang Shuo, they maintained a slight lead of 51-50 at halftime. In the second half, Beijing adjusted their tactics in time, shifting their offensive focus to the inside. They finally seized the opportunity when Fujian's physical condition declined in the final quarter, ending their losing streak with a score of 105-89. Shandong's away game against Guangzhou was also noteworthy. At the beginning of the game, Shandong appeared somewhat slow to heat up, relying mainly on the individual abilities of their two foreign players, Chris…

On January 13th, Beijing time, CBA referees held a meeting for nothing, directly calling technical fouls when they shouldn't, and it's very amateurish to have three technical fouls in a game. The CBA referees recently just held a meeting, and the league officials also specially gave some norms to the referees, asking them to unify the refereeing standards because the referees have been criticized more and more recently. However, it seems that this meeting was really held for nothing. Why do I say that? Because in the game between Beijing and Fujian, the referees suddenly inexplicably blew three technical fouls, blowing three T's in just the first half. What's even funnier is that the refereeing standards are also a bit confusing. We don't know what the normal refereeing standards are for this league now? Technical fouls are actually very rare in a game, and blowing three fouls can only happen if there is a large-scale conflict. However, the two sides didn't have any conflicts or fights, and there were no shoving actions, but they were blown three technical fouls, and the reasons for the fouls were very funny. How did the first technical foul happen? At that time, in the first quarter, Joseph Young singled out Beijing and completed a layup. After the ball went in, he made a too small gesture, which is very common in the NBA. It's pressing down with the right hand, indicating that the defender is too small. He faced Beijing's foreign aid, Jerman, who is taller and stronger than him, and scored the goal,…

The performance of the Beijing men's basketball team this season does not live up to the big-name signings during the offseason. Despite having several national team players, their win rate after 28 rounds is only 67.9%. If Beijing wants to get back on track, upgrading the roster is urgent. But how should they adjust and upgrade? Plan One for Roster Upgrade: Cut Two Foreign Players Beijing has three foreign players: guard Jerman, center Solomon, and forward Omore. Here are their respective characteristics. Jerman, as a guard, is not good at mid-range shooting and layups. His scoring methods are mostly dunks and three-pointers, but his dunks lack rhythm changes and rely solely on speed, while his three-pointers are hit or miss. Under the foreign player policy of 4 quarters and 7 rotations, Jerman's characteristics do not match this version. Solomon is a blue-collar type of center, a volleyball-type player, with average static talent and single offensive methods. However, he has good dynamic talent, outstanding rebounding and putback abilities, and a positive attitude, which makes him both tasteless and a pity to discard. Omore is seriously incompatible with the CBA. He is a player who is not good at confrontation, which is not just about having the ball but also without the ball. For example, if a tactic requires getting rid of the defender, the defender may use some small moves that the referee doesn't call, making it impossible for Omore to shake off the defender, and he may lose confidence as the game goes on... Considering that Jerman does not match…

Translation of the article content into English: The CBA season is halfway through, and most teams have finalized their roster additions. Some teams may still make adjustments, but the overall landscape has been set. The CBA rankings best reflect the state of each team. Prior to this, Liaoning was narrowly defeated by Qingdao on free throws, and Xinjiang suffered an upset loss to Tongxi, with the rankings now updated. Let's take a look together. The most stable team remains Guangsha Men's Basketball, topping the charts with 25 wins and 4 losses. As long as they maintain their current pace, securing the regular-season championship seems assured. However, Guangsha's biggest issue is the injury risk; key players Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui have nearly become "glass men" in recent years. Guangsha has a great chance to compete for the 2025 championship and fill the regret of having no titles in their history. We hope the lineup can stay intact for the playoffs. Qingdao ranks second, Liaoning third, and Shanxi fourth. Qingdao and Shanxi are considered dark horses; it was unexpected how strong these two teams would be at the start of the season. However, they lack the ability to contend for the championship. In the playoffs, their weaknesses will be exposed, especially Shanxi Men's Basketball, which is unstable on both offense and defense. Their fast-paced style naturally unsettles opponents but also leads to high turnovers and an inability to secure rebounds. Liaoning is still a championship contender. Zhang Zhenlin is actually the most crucial part of the defending champion's frontcourt; his impact,…

Translation of the article content into English: In the fiercely competitive arena of the CBA, teams are striving for honor and victory. However, this season's performance by the Beijing team has been quite surprising, with their former glory seemingly vanishing overnight. All of this is closely related to the name Zhou Qi. Back in the day, the Beijing team was a top presence in the CBA, but now they have slipped all the way down to ninth place in the league, which is truly unexpected! The reasons for this situation include the confusing tactical arrangements by head coach Xu Limin and the underperforming foreign players in crucial moments. But what breaks the fans' hearts the most is that Zhou Qi's joining did not bring about any change. Zhou Qi, once a strong inside player, has now become the problem for the Beijing team. His on-court performance has become increasingly unstable, often missing games due to injuries, like a fragile person who breaks upon contact. Fans watch his weak defense and lack of fighting spirit with great concern. During the offseason, when the Guangdong team traded Zhou Qi to the Beijing team because they could not meet his contract requirements, the entire CBA was shocked. Guangdong received a large sum of cash, seemingly making a profitable deal. As for the Beijing team, they spent a fortune to get Zhou Qi - cash, top-tier contracts, Beijing hukou (residential registration), high signing fees... All of this seems like a big bet by the Beijing team to regain their momentum. However, this big bet…
