Currently, the CBA league is in full swing, with the regular season already halfway through. However, the top eight situation is not yet clear, as the records are quite close, indicating a competitive and diverse landscape in the new season. This is what the management hopes to see, as it is more interesting than a single team dominating. This diversity is largely due to the foreign player policy, with many teams having at least 3-4 foreign players on reserve, and some teams having replaced 7-8 foreign players so far. This has put significant economic pressure on the teams, with nearly all CBA teams suffering losses in the past two years, and some teams' annual profits not even covering the salaries of their foreign players. Since last season, Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team has been struggling financially, selling off key players one after another. With Cui Yongxi choosing to pursue the NBA, the team officially entered a rebuilding phase. However, to maintain viewership, they signed Guo Ailun, who is highly popular despite being in the twilight of his career and frequently plagued by injuries. Guo Ailun remains an outstanding player and one of the top ten guards in the CBA, but more importantly, he is one of the most popular players in the league. During the offseason, Guangzhou also signed former top star Ding Yanyuhang, making them a team with average strength but top-level attention. Currently, Guangzhou is at the bottom of the league standings due to severe injury problems and incomplete personnel. They have suffered 11 consecutive losses, and in the…

During the game between Guangzhou and Qingdao men's basketball teams, with 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, Guangzhou's interior player Jiao Boqiao suffered an ankle sprain. Post-game examination revealed that Jiao Boqiao had "minor bone marrow edema in the medial malleolus of the right ankle; suspected rupture of the tibiofibular ligament and tibiotarsal ligament; suspected rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament; and damage to the calcaneofibular ligament and tibioscapular ligament." It is worth noting that this is not the first time Jiao Boqiao has been injured this season, and he seems to have the attributes of a glass man. As the absolute core of Guangzhou's interior, after Jiao Boqiao's injury, the team's interior rotation will become even more tense. Considering the severity of Jiao Boqiao's injuries, including ligament ruptures and bone marrow edema, it will take at least three to four months for recovery, effectively ending his season early. Given Guangzhou's performance this season, the club will not rush Jiao Boqiao back into action. Additionally, due to this injury, Jiao Boqiao will miss the upcoming Chinese men's basketball window period matches, missing another opportunity to improve himself. This season, Jiao Boqiao has shown significant improvement, becoming increasingly efficient in finishing under the basket and developing an outside three-point shot, averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game. As a center, Jiao Boqiao's playing style is becoming more comprehensive. To date, he averages 28.4 minutes per game, contributing 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.9%. In his most outstanding game of the season, Jiao…

The full game has ended, with the score fixed at 89-103. Qingdao team lost the game to Guangsha team by a margin of 14 points in an away game. Let's delve into it. Firstly, on the Qingdao side, whenever there is a game involving them, there is always one focal point: Yang Hanshen. As a potential new star for the Chinese men's basketball team, he can be said to be the hope for nearly the next decade. What he grows into will directly determine the level that the Chinese men's basketball team can reach. Such a player is hard not to attract attention and discussion. However, the CBA stage is too small, and the focus and discussion points here are limited. A player like him should go to a league with a higher level and more attention. As for which one, I believe everyone has their own ideas. However, for some unknown reason, he gave up this opportunity this summer and resolutely continued to stay with the Qingdao team. It's not hard to imagine that there must have been "efforts" from the Qingdao team management. Of course, it's understandable; it's not easy to cultivate such a "box office guarantee," and letting him go like this would be unwilling. Thinking back to the days of Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, etc., they were almost in the same situation. It can only be said that many years have passed, but many things still haven't changed. However, what's different is that Yao Ming back then was constantly using various ways to rebel in order…

China's men's basketball team is currently in full swing! As one of the league's giants, Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Men's Basketball Team has recently suffered consecutive defeats, which has hindered the team's momentum. Especially the home defeat against Shenzhen Marco Polo Men's Basketball Team, which is ranked lower, has also drawn a lot of criticism. There is no way because many of the team's main players have recently been injured. Especially the absence of captain Wu Qian has had a great impact on the team's strength. Speaking of Wu Qian, I believe everyone has a deep impression of him! In the domestic league, Wu Qian has a nickname called "Wu Curry"! What does this mean? It means that his three-point shooting is as accurate as NBA star Curry. In history, Wu Qian's three-point shots reached 1210, tying with men's basketball veteran Wang Shipeng, ranking fifth in history. He is also ranked first among current domestic players. It can be seen how powerful his three-point shots are! Also because Wu Qian performed well, he became the captain of Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Men's Basketball Team. Under Wu Qian's leadership, Zhejiang Chouzhou Men's Basketball Team once won the regular season championship in the 2022-2023 season. Unfortunately, they lost to the defending champion Liaoning Men's Basketball Team in the finals and finished as runners-up. Even so, the runner-up also created the best record in the club's history. And as captain, Wu Qian was indispensable! Therefore, Wu Qian also receives top salary from Zhejiang Chouzhou Financial Leasing Men's Basketball Team. Wu Qian did not…

Beijing Shougang played with ease at home, and Zhou Qi's performance after his comeback gave fans hope. However, there were many untold stories behind his absence from the game due to influenza, which made us rethink the issue of athlete health management. Beijing Shougang completely dominated the game, and Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank seemed powerless without their three main players. The entire game rhythm was firmly controlled by Shougang. Zhou Qi's performance in this game was quite outstanding, with a very high shooting percentage. He made 8 out of 12 shots, which is rare efficiency for a center position. However, Zhou Qi's rebounding statistics were indeed low, grabbing only 4 rebounds throughout the game, which is somewhat different from his previous performances. Coach Xu Limin said after the game that Zhou Qi's current state may only be 30 to 40 percent, which is surprising because it's not visible from his on-court performance. Beijing Shougang's overall strength is indeed strong, and even if Zhou Qi's condition has not fully recovered, the team can still easily win the game. This victory is significant for Shougang as it solidifies their position on the leaderboard. Although Zhejiang lost the game, their young players' performances are commendable. They showed great potential despite the absence of their main players. Shougang's defensive strategy was very successful in this game, limiting Zhejiang's offensive points and keeping their scoring at a low level. Zhou Qi missed six games due to influenza, which raised many fans' doubts at the time, but the actual situation is much more complicated than everyone imagined.…

Recently, according to media personality Zhao Tanchang from the basketball circle, 17-year-old Chinese-American guard Zhu Zheng has registered with the Chinese Basketball Association. Last year, there were reports that Asian-American guard Jacob Zhu proactively requested to join the Chinese men's basketball team, expressing a desire to play for China in the U17 Men's Basketball World Cup, but was unable to do so due to various reasons. Zhu Zheng is a Chinese-American player; his father is from Fujian, and his mother is Jamaican. Born on July 29, 2007, he is currently 17 years old, standing at approximately 1.83 meters tall (data from the player's social media), playing as a guard. Zhu Zheng's father once stated, "I fully support Zhu Zheng representing the Chinese team in competitions; we will definitely participate if there is an invitation." Zhu Zheng's attitude is very firm. (Zhu Zheng with his parents) In November last year, Zhu Zheng announced on his personal Instagram that he had accepted an offer from Alabama A&M University, officially joining the Alabama A&M Bulldogs basketball team, which belongs to the NCAA Division I league. Let's take a look at some of Zhu Zheng's game moments: Superb jumping slam dunk, showing outstanding talent Continuous crossovers to finish a layup Low post single move turnaround jumper made Catch and shoot long-range three-pointer right on target Effortlessly completing a windmill dunk It is worth mentioning that Zhu Zheng has excellent physical talent and often performs spectacular dunks in games. He also possesses good and stable shooting skills. This all stems from daily intensive three-point shooting…

Introduction In 2019, CBA's Guangsha men's basketball team spent $4.4 million to bring in Kenneth Faried, known as the "half-man, half-amazing," but upon arriving in China, he not only earned our money but also performed mediocrely and engaged in slandering China after leaving. So, why do foreign players who earn Chinese money engage in discrediting China? Background and Joining CBA of Kenneth Faried This American player, nicknamed "half-man, half-amazing," once dominated the NBA court, making countless fans go crazy. However, when he joined the CBA with a sky-high annual salary, he staged a farce that made people's jaws drop. Faried's basketball career was glorious. In the NBA, he played for many teams, including the Denver Nuggets, Brooklyn Nets, and Houston Rockets. His physical fitness is outstanding, with astonishing jumping ability, often contributing exciting dunks and blocks in games. In 2013, he even won the MVP title of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, which can be described as dazzling. However, with the increase in age and competition, Faried's status in the NBA gradually declined. Just as his career seemed to reach a crossroads, China's CBA extended an olive branch to him. In 2019, Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team signed Faried with an astonishing $4.4 million annual salary. This figure not only made people stare in amazement but was also nearly five times Faried's salary in his last season in the NBA. For Guangsha team, introducing Faried was undoubtedly a gamble. They hoped that this former NBA star could help the team achieve success on the CBA court with his rich experience and…

Zhu Zheng, officially joins the Chinese Men's Basketball Team.‌ This guy is currently 17 years old, with a Chinese father and a Jamaican mother, standing at 1.8 meters tall and weighing 69 kilograms. He plays as a guard on the court. He has already announced his acceptance of an offer from NCAA Division I Alabama A&M University, which means he will be considered a domestic player in the future, truly one of our own. According to well-known domestic basketball journalist Song Xiang, the Chinese National Youth Team is currently evaluating Zhu Zheng to determine whether he should be included in the next training squad list. During the U18 National Youth Team's 12-day special training in the United States at the end of last year, Zhu Zheng was present within the team. The Chinese National Youth Team has successfully secured qualification for this year's U19 World Cup, which will be held in Switzerland from June 28th to July 6th. At that time, Zhu Zheng is likely to wear the national team uniform. Zhu Zheng is a very typical American-style guard, possessing strong individual abilities and good physical qualities. His scoring methods are mainly based on shooting. As mentioned above, he already has the potential and qualifications to make an impact in the NBA, which will greatly improve the long-standing weakness of the Chinese men's basketball team's guard line in terms of attacking power. It is worth noting that if Zhu Zheng cannot play in the NBA, he can still compete in the CBA as a domestic player. He has been preempted…

Good news has come for Chinese men's basketball as 17-year-old Chinese-American prodigy Zhu Zheng has officially become a Chinese national. According to official records, his nationality has now changed to Chinese. Zhu Zheng is well-known within domestic basketball circles due to his father being Chinese and his mother Jamaican. Both Zhu Zheng and his father have always been eager to play for the Chinese men's basketball team.

I know where my father comes from, and whether on or off the court, my heart has always wanted to represent China, which is also my goal." Four months later, Zhu Zheng's dream has come true as he has become a Chinese basketball player. The process was swift, mainly because his father is originally Chinese, making the procedure smoother. It is reported that Zhu will represent Shanghai's men's basketball team at the 2025 National Games. At only 17 years old, he is already well-known in the industry and has the potential to become the absolute core of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.
