The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continues, with news about Chinese men's basketball power forward Cui Yongxi's imminent return to China heating up. According to informed sources, Chinese player Cui Yongxi, who was cut by the NBA Eastern Conference powerhouse Brooklyn Nets, is recovering well during his rehabilitation phase and has gradually started to get off crutches. It is reported that Cui Yongxi plans to return to the country later this month. This means that many CBA league teams, including the Guangdong team, will have the opportunity to contact Cui Yongxi in the near future. This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng, who want to strengthen their front line. As we all know, Cui Yongxi previously signed a two-year two-way contract with the Nets, but suffered a serious ligament tear injury while playing for the Long Island Nets this season, after which he was cut by the Nets. Undoubtedly, Cui Yongxi still has the chance to make an impact in the NBA when he is 100% healthy. However, after suffering such a serious injury, Cui Yongxi is no longer favored by the outside world to continue playing in the NBA. Therefore, returning to the CBA league may be a better choice for Cui Yongxi in the future. Since the dark horse Guangzhou men's basketball team has sold many key players including Chen Yingjun, Zhu Mingzhen, Jia Mingru, Guo Kai, and Li Yanzhe, and signed new recruits Guo Ailun, Ding Yanhang, and others to join forces with Jiao Boqiao to form a new…

**CBA courts are never short of hot topics, and this season's most anticipated combination is undoubtedly the collaboration between superstars Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun. This should have been a strong alliance that would make fans' blood boil, but on December 25th, Beijing time, a shocking message came - Ding Yanyuhang failed the physical test, scoring 0 points in the shooting test! This result has once again delayed the grand plan of "Guo Ding's alliance," leaving us wondering about the story and impact behind it. Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun, these two top players who once dominated the CBA court, have been highly anticipated since their collaboration began. Fans eagerly looked forward to seeing these two giants play side by side on the same team, bringing one thrilling match after another, even dreaming of them leading the team to challenge for the championship throne. However, reality dealt everyone a heavy blow. Ding Yanyuhang stumbled in the physical test, casting a thick shadow over the beautiful vision of "Guo Ding's alliance." Failing the physical test means he cannot play in the league, leaving this originally highly anticipated combination to remain only in imagination for now. According to several well-known CBA reporters, Ding Yanyuhang did not meet the standard in the first physical test he participated in, failing the intensity shooting test. This outcome was unexpected, as shooting was believed to be Ding Yanyuhang's greatest advantage. In his prime, he averaged 26 points per season, using his outstanding scoring ability to defeat many strong teams in the league. But due to previous…

Although Liaoning played a tough home game against Xinjiang Guanghui, veteran Han Dejun once again played for 32 minutes, which was quite a burden. According to well-known media personality Ha Qiu, Liaoning's new signing, Justin Patton, has arrived in the country. The club will register him immediately after he passes his physical examination. However, due to the need to adjust to the time difference, Justin Patton will not be able to make his debut in the Liaoning-Guangdong match. In the game against Xinjiang Guanghui, two Liaoning players stood out. Besides Wells scoring 50 points, Wang Lanqin also played a crucial role in linking the team together. His key steals and shots helped Liaoning maintain their lead. With Guo Ailun struggling with injuries and finding it difficult to return to his best form, Liaoning chose to bring in the younger Wang Lanqin, which turned out to be a good move. In the absence of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin and without high-quality foreign big men, Liaoning's home game against old rival Guangdong Hongyuan will be a huge test for their rebounding and perimeter defense. Liaoning is well aware of Morand's mobility and rebounding ability inside, so besides returning to Shenyang to receive the championship ring, coach Yang Ming will also make arrangements based on Morand's characteristics. Due to excessive defensive actions in the game against Zhejiang Guangsha, Zhang Ning was ejected for a foul. This was the first time in Zhang Ning's career that he was ejected from a game, and it was also his seventh foul this season. Although Shanxi…

On December 27th, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) has announced three pieces of news. First, in preparation for the 2025 National Games, the 2025-26 CBA season will start in early December. This news may disappoint many basketball fans, but adjustments are necessary for the sake of event uniformity. Typically, the new CBA season begins in October, with some starting around the 20th, and the 24-25 season began around the 10th, earlier than previous years. To prepare for the new season, CBA teams usually hold warm-up matches and preseason games starting in September. However, with the 25-26 season postponed to December, all schedules must be adjusted. Fans are most concerned about the shortened regular season schedule, which means fewer games to watch, as the finals typically end around mid-May. Summer months often feature national team games and vacation time for fans, making it impossible to extend the season into July. Since the playoffs cannot be compressed, cuts must be made to the regular season. Some media professionals believe that the postponement of the CBA schedule will also affect teams' ability to recruit foreign players, as other international basketball leagues begin around October, and top players will likely secure contracts early, while the CBA doesn't start until mid-December, causing a significant delay. Nonetheless, decisions have been made and must be implemented. The 24-25 season is not yet halfway through, so there's no point in considering next season too much. Moreover, the 2025 National Games will offer a diverse range of competitions, including intense basketball rivalries, keeping many players busy. The second piece…
