Recently, he has delivered impressive performances, including a game on January 22nd, Beijing time, where Sandy Creek Friends School made a comeback victory against Indian Creek High School with a score of 62-60. Xun Sifeng played for 26 minutes, scoring 21 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and blocking 2 shots, with an 8-for-14 shooting record and 5-for-6 from the free-throw line. Standing at 2.08 meters tall, Xun Sifeng primarily plays as a forward, capable of playing both power forward and small forward positions. In the previous two seasons, he played for Hushak High School in New York State, but this season he transferred to Sandy Creek Friends School, where he has seen significant improvements in playing time and personal performance. Xun Sifeng has received offers from five universities: Long Island University, University of Maryland, Samford University, University of Central Florida, and Wichita State University. He has not yet decided which university to join. This season, Xun Sifeng's performance has clearly improved to a higher level, suggesting that more universities may extend offers to him in the coming year. Therefore, Xun Sifeng is not in a hurry to commit to any university immediately. Xun Sifeng comes from a basketball family; his twin brother, Xun Sinan, is also a rising star in basketball, standing at 2.13 meters tall and primarily playing as a center. Xun Sinan's prospects are even higher, having been ranked…

The Asian Cup qualifiers are currently underway, and the Chinese men's basketball team previously defeated Guam with a score of 101-53. With two wins and one loss in three matches, it is only a matter of time before they advance to the main event of the Asian Cup. After Guo Shiqiang became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he has heavily relied on a group of young players, including Zeng Fanbo, Hu Mingxuan, Yang Hanshen, and others, who have not disappointed. Especially Zeng Fanbo, who displayed his extraordinary talent in the game against Guam, effortlessly making three-pointers and dunks, scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block in the game, which is quite puzzling as Zeng Fanbo is not even the core player of Beijing Shougang. Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Mongolia, with a very high chance of securing a second consecutive victory. The official announcement from the Chinese men's basketball team also revealed that three players have temporarily withdrawn and returned to their clubs, namely Zou Yuchen, Lu Wenbo, and Liu Li Jia. Guo Shiqiang will lead a squad of 14 players into battle. The lineup for the Chinese men's basketball team against Mongolia is expected to include the following: Guards: Gao Shiyan, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Wang Lanqin, Cheng Shaipeng, Xu Jie Forwards: Zhang Ning, Zhu Junlong, Zeng Fanbo, Fu Hao, Du Runwang Centers: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hanshen, Yu Jiahao The Chinese men's basketball team is expected to field a starting lineup of Liao Sanning, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Zeng…

Official Announcement! Chinese Men's Basketball Rising Star Suffers Serious Injury, Season Over - Can He Prove Himself Again?‌ Guangzhou Men's Basketball rising star Jiao Boqiao suffered an ankle injury. According to the latest report from Jiao Boqiao Studio, Jiao Boqiao was found to have a rupture of the lateral collateral ligament of the right ankle, damage to the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament, damage to the right ankle cartilage, and the formation of bone spurs. Given the cumulative effect of old and new injuries, experts recommend undergoing ligament reconstruction surgery. Jiao Boqiao's Achilles tendon repair is expected to take several months or even half a year to recover, which means that Jiao Boqiao's season is over in advance. It is worth noting that the national team has always been very concerned about Jiao Boqiao's injury and recovery plan, and the surgery performed on him was arranged by the national team. It is reported that Jiao Boqiao can get out of bed three to four weeks after the operation and can start rehabilitation training in two to three months. It will take about half a year to return to the court. This season, under the circumstances of Guangzhou Men's Basketball rebuilding, Jiao Boqiao ushered in the best opportunity for growth, gaining a lot of playing time and ball possession. On average, he played 28.4 minutes per game, contributing 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.9% and a three-point percentage of 31.3%, averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game.

In the preparation period of the 24-25 CBA League season, Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team has become one of the most talked-about teams. Looking back at last season, under the leadership of Min Lulei, Beijing Control achieved good results. Players such as Liao Saning and Zhang Fan performed well, each playing their part on the court and contributing to the team's success. However, when the playoffs arrived, Beijing Control was unable to go far. The reasons for this are multifaceted, but to a large extent, it is due to the team's lack of talent reserves. As the saying goes, "Even a skilled housewife finds it hard to cook without rice." A team may have excellent tactical arrangements, but if it lacks talented players to execute them, it will find it difficult to progress further in the fierce playoff competition. Therefore, during the preparation period, Beijing Control launched a series of active reinforcement measures. They set their sights on Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team and successfully brought in Shen Zijie, whose addition undoubtedly enhanced the team's interior strength. At the same time, Beijing Control also made gains in the transfer market, trading for the signing rights of CBA superstar foreign aid Salinge, which was another strong addition to the team's interior. However, Beijing Control's determination to strengthen did not stop there. After the start of the season, the team introduced Zhu Songwei, who had previously played in Hong Kong, China, further strengthening the team's frontcourt power. With such huge investment and careful selection of multiple foreign players, Beijing Control's goal for the…

Zhou Zhihao, a Canadian-born basketball player of Chinese descent who stands at an impressive 2.24 meters and is affectionately nicknamed "Little Yao Ming" by Chinese fans, has sparked controversy after declining an invitation from Yao Ming himself to join the Chinese men's basketball team. This decision has left many Chinese fans feeling angry and disappointed, as they had high hopes that he would represent China and help elevate the country's basketball scene. Instead, Zhou chose to play for Canada and, following his success in the NBA, made a video expressing his love for Chinese culture and willingness to participate in commercial activities in China. This apparent inconsistency in his stance has led some to believe that Zhou may be seeking personal gain through the Chinese market. The question then arises: what motivated Zhou's decision, and how does he reconcile the conflict between cultural identity and his choices? Zhou's story begins with his upbringing in Canada. Born in Toronto, despite his Chinese heritage, he grew up immersed in Western culture, receiving Canadian education and values. Consequently, he does not have a strong connection to traditional Chinese culture. This background likely influenced his career decisions, prioritizing international recognition through basketball over emotional ties to Chinese basketball. This lack of cultural identification may explain why Zhou turned down Yao Ming's offer. As the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Yao personally invited Zhou to join the national team, but Zhou stated, "I only wish to play for Canada." This response not only disappointed Chinese fans but also prompted experts to question whether athletes…

As we all know, since Yao Ming took office as the chairman of the Basketball Association and the chairman of the CBA League, he began to promote the youth basketball training plan. Although he eventually chose to resign from all his duties at the Basketball Association due to pressure from various parties, the youth training work of the Chinese men's basketball team still got on the right track under his influence. After several years of development, it has successively cultivated new-generation leaders such as Cui Yongxi, Yang Hanshen, and Zhang Zhenlin for the men's basketball team. Among them, Cui Yongxi broke the embarrassing situation that the Chinese men's basketball team had not logged into the NBA for 7 years. It is worth mentioning that after Cui Yongxi successfully pursued his dream in the United States, Yang Hanshen, the number one player of the Chinese men's basketball team, also made an important decision recently. According to multiple sources from American media, Yang Hanshen has signed with Klutch Sports agency and started preparations for the NBA draft conference in April. Here, some fans may be curious why Yang Hanshen did not choose the famous domestic agent Sui Ran but instead chose a foreign company. The answer is actually quite simple. Yang Hanshen chose more than just an agency. The operator of this company is Rich Paul, a big shot in the NBA circle and the agent of the league's top player LeBron James, who has abundant resources. Yang Hanshen signing with Rich Paul is the first step towards joining forces with James.…

The second phase of the CBA regular season is about to come to a close, and the main event that follows will be the men's basketball Asian Cup qualifiers. The rematch against Japan on February 20th is a crucial match that cannot afford to be lost. In the first match against Japan, the Chinese men's basketball team suffered a defeat with a score of 73-76, which was also the first time in 88 years that China lost to Japan in the FIBA system. The second match sees the Chinese team at home, determined to avenge their loss, and tensions are high as both sides prepare for battle. However, Coach Guo faces difficulties, as choosing the right lineup has become a tricky issue. Here's an estimated list of the strongest 14 players: Many national-level players are currently dealing with injuries, including Liaoning's Zhang Zhenlin and Zhao Jiwei, Guangdong's Hu Mingxuan, Beijing's Zhou Qi, Zhejiang's Yu Jiahao and Wu Qian, Beikong's Liao Sanning, and Guangzhou's Jiao Boqiao. It's unlikely that these players will be able to participate, leaving Coach Guo with limited options for his roster. However, the Chinese men's basketball talent pool is rich, and Coach Guo has multiple choices available. The projected 14-man roster should look like this: Frontcourt: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hansen, Li Yanzhe, Liu Chuanxing (or Zou Yuchen, Xu Xin) Wings: Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Ning, Qi Lin, Cheng Shaipeng, Li Hongquan Backcourt: Xu Jie, Zhao Rui, Lin Cang, Sun Minghui, Gao Shiyan These players are considered the strongest from various domestic clubs. Playing against Japan should not be…
