The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continues, with news about the championship favorites Guangdong men's basketball team wanting to introduce new foreign players heating up. While Guangdong has confirmed that they will continue to look for new foreign players, their fourth foreign player, Les, has not been able to get playing time in recent games. Whether it was the home defeat against Zhejiang or the away victory over Jilin, Les did not get much opportunity to train. Many fans believe that at this stage, Guangdong is more inclined to use Zhang Haojia, Zhang Wenyi, and others rather than Les. Obviously, although Les has only been with Guangdong for a short time, he has also entered the countdown to leaving the team. In the recently concluded round of matches, top-tier CBA foreign players such as Samner, Diallo, Brown, and Wells all delivered phenomenal performances, causing many fans to have significant concerns about Guangdong's foreign player choices. Shanxi, driven by the dual-core of Diallo and Goodwin, has become the hottest contender for the championship. Goodwin remains the strongest small foreign guard in today's CBA league, while Goodwin is the only remaining top-tier standard No. 3 foreign player in the league. Samner, Brown, and Wells are all explosive swingmen on offense, and Shanghai's Lofton is the top foreign player in the league who can handle offense, rebounds, and organization. At this point, Guangdong only has Morand who can be compared to them. Looking at the CBA league, there are almost only Diallo who can play as a standard No. 3…

In the arena of sports competition, victory and defeat are often the most direct outcomes. However, in the Christmas night showdown between Guangdong and Zhejiang men's basketball teams, despite Guangdong's loss, they still reaped a wealth of hope and pleasant surprises. This match was like a journey filled with challenges and opportunities, where Guangdong found a glimmer of hope for the future amidst their defeat. The Emergence of a New Foreign Talent: Les' Impressive Debut In the world of CBA foreign players, Guangdong's newly signed small forward, Les, can be considered a "dark horse." It is reported that Les' value is less than $50,000, placing him at the bottom salary level in the entire CBA league. Prior to this, he had been playing in the Taiwan league without any CBA regular season experience. This led to Guangdong announcing his signing with a tone suggesting he was just a "temporary worker," seemingly always on the verge of being cut. However, it was such an underappreciated foreign player who brought unexpected joy during the Christmas night game. When the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt, Coach Du Feng waved Les onto the court. In just four minutes of playing time, Les only took one shot and missed, but his defensive performance was eye-catching. He was like an tireless guardian, actively fighting for rebounds and successfully grabbing 1 rebound, as well as quickly completing 1 steal like lightning. Although the statistics may seem ordinary, considering he sat on the bench for a full 44 minutes before entering the game and…

Congratulations to Du Feng! Guangdong Team Sets New Record! A Night of 41-point Victory with Three Unexpected Gains! 106-65, Guangdong men's basketball team has set a new record for the biggest winning margin this season! To be honest, before this game, I was a bit worried whether Guangdong could defeat Jilin. After all, in the last game, the team did not perform well overall, and Jilin even led Liaoning by 41 points at halftime! Jones, who returned to Jilin, averages an impressive 33.3 points, second-highest in the league! However, after the pre-game roster was announced, the suspense of the game disappeared because several key players from Jilin, including Jones, Jiang Yuxing, and Jiang Weize, were unable to play! Therefore, for this game, the number of points won is not as important as the process of the game! Looking at the entire game, Guangdong had both joys and concerns! The main concerns are two-fold! Firstly, there is the old problem of relaxation! In the first quarter, the full-strength Guangdong team only led by 3 points with a score of 25-22, with Gillenwater scoring 18 points out of the 25. The team played very simply on both offense and defense, giving the opponent too many easy scoring opportunities on defense and lacking coordination on offense except for Gillenwater's hot hand! Fortunately, after adjusting during the break, the team increased their defensive intensity in the second quarter, scoring 38-17 in that quarter, and continued this intensity in the second half, allowing Xu Jie, Gillenwater, and Morland to finish work early after three quarters!…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Signs Fourth Foreign Aid, Du Feng Very Happy, Guangdong Men's Basketball Season Championship Betting Guangdong men's basketball team, as a powerhouse in the CBA, has experienced a severe decline in recent years due to problems such as the lack of successors, and even suffered defeat at the hands of Guangsha, stopping at the quarter-finals. However, with the passage of time, Guangdong men's basketball team has gradually completed its renewal and replacement. This season, it has signed Huang Rongqi and borrowed Wang Shaojie to further strengthen the team's strength. Especially the re-signing of Bazley has reorganized Guangdong men's basketball defense system. Coupled with the strength of small foreign aid Xu Jie and Hu Mingxuan, Guangdong men's basketball team has preliminarily possessed the strength to compete for the championship. However, even such a powerful Guangdong men's basketball team still has a weakness, which is the lack of scoring ability. Jilunwater and Hu Mingxuan, etc., are okay when they encounter weak teams, but once they encounter strong teams, they are prone to lose themselves in high-intensity confrontations. Thus being led by the nose by the opponent. Leading to game failure. Therefore, Guangdong men's basketball team needs to sign a fourth foreign aid, that is, a swingman between forwards and guards. At this time, Feng Leite Lais, abandoned by Liaoning men's basketball team, traveled thousands of miles to join Guangdong men's basketball team, and even trained with Xu Xin and others at one point. As a top swingman between forwards and guards, Lais also scored 30 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds…

106-65, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Jilin Men's Basketball Team with a resounding victory. In this match, due to the outbreak of Huang Rongqi and Bazley, the game was won more easily. Huang Rongqi scored a season-high of 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals, while Bazley contributed 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks, greatly reducing the pressure on Xu Jie. However, after the game, Du Feng, head coach of Guangdong Hongyuan, revealed some bad news when summarizing the game. He stated that Hu Mingxuan's shoulder injury is expected to take three months to recover, causing him to miss the national team games during the February window period next year. From the current perspective, Hu Mingxuan will have to wait until the third stage to return. With Hu Mingxuan's early withdrawal from the second stage, Guangdong Hongyuan's local players who can handle the ball are only Xu Jie, Huang Rongqi, Zhang Wenyi, and Yang Yi, but the main responsibility for organizing tasks still falls on Xu Jie. After joining Guangdong Hongyuan, new foreign aid Les has not integrated into the team. He played less than 5 minutes in his debut and only 2 minutes against Jilin Men's Basketball Team. With the increasingly tight rotation in the backcourt, Du Feng needs Les to integrate into the team as soon as possible. So far this season, due to the impact of injuries, Hu Mingxuan has only played 9 games for Guangdong Hongyuan, averaging 31.1 minutes per game, contributing 17.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1 steal,…

Du Feng revealed that there have been changes in the situation of the small foreign aid. The arrival of Bazley has brought unexpected good results, while Reese may face the situation of being returned. It was originally thought that everything would go according to plan, but it turned out that there were such changes. Bazley's performance is eye-catching, while Reese's situation seems a bit embarrassing in comparison. In fact, Bazley did not disappoint many fans. He returned to the team just one day ago and had not yet adjusted to the time difference when he took the field against Ningbo and showed a higher competitive level than the first stage! Moreover, in Du Feng's eyes, the coexistence issue between him and Morand seemed to have already been addressed! In the latter half of the first quarter, Jilunwater was replaced by Bazley, who appeared on the court with Morand, along with three local players Xu Jie, Zhang Wenyi, and Zhang Haojia. Obviously, Bazley was playing the No. 4 position at this time, and his opponent was Chang Lin. Perhaps Ningbo's arrangement for Bazley before the game was to let him break through and limit his shooting, but Bazley shot a three-pointer from a step outside the three-point line! In the next round, Ningbo found a good opportunity for a three-pointer at the corner. However, Bazley made a sudden lateral move and sent a clean block. To be honest, if any other player in the team had defended, this ball would never have been blocked, at most just to interfere! In the…

Guangdong Hongyuan and Liaoning Men's Basketball Team both welcomed victories, with the post-game remarks of the two head coaches reflecting different tactical styles and psychological states of the two teams. Guangdong tends to be low-key and pragmatic, prioritizing health and seeking victory steadily; while Liaoning shows higher fighting spirit and self-confidence, trying to accumulate energy for the upcoming challenges with each victory. This contrast not only makes the two games more intriguing but also allows fans to see the charm of different styles. It is precisely because the post-game remarks of the two head coaches of Guangdong Hongyuan and Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, Du Feng and Yang Ming, are distinctive, adding a unique style to this round of CBA regular season. It is worth mentioning that the next round will feature the Liaoning-Guangdong battle, and some media have specially created a CBA "Spring Festival Gala" poster for this event. Guangdong Hongyuan won a big victory over Jilin with a score of 106:65, and the game lost suspense early. Facing Jilin, which was missing two foreign players and core players Jiang Weize and Jiang Yuxing, Guangdong quickly opened the score with their overall advantage and controlled the game rhythm throughout. After the game, Du Feng did not take pride in the big victory, but expressed understanding of the opponent's situation: "Today is not the true level of Jilin. Their two foreign players and Jiang brothers did not play. I watched many of their games recently, and they defeated many strong teams." Du Feng's remarks were objective and comprehensive. He not only…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, but Guangdong Hongyuan Men's Basketball Team's performance has been disappointing. In a recently concluded game, Guangdong lost badly to their old rival Zhejiang at home, becoming the focus of public discussion. As the schedule approaches the halfway point, Guangdong has only managed a record of 12 wins and 10 losses, causing many fans to worry about their playoff qualification. Speaking of Guangdong's performance this season, the foreign player issue has almost become the biggest hidden danger. Although the team has introduced new faces like Bazley and Les, to be honest, the ones who can really hold up under pressure are still the familiar faces of Morand and Jilunwalt. Especially in the game against Zhejiang, Bazley's performance did not meet expectations, and the other new foreign player Les was even more disappointing, with his individual ability not as good as the previously cut Armstrong. In response to this situation, Zhu Fangyu, general manager of Guangdong, openly stated that the team is actively looking for a fifth foreign player. From the current situation, Guangdong urgently needs a "No. 3 position" player who can break the deadlock on the offensive end, and this player must have strong independent offensive capabilities as well as the standard height and wingspan of a forward. It can be said that finding such a suitable foreign player has become the primary problem that Guangdong must solve next. When it comes to foreign forwards, one name naturally comes to mind - Landzberg. This old acquaintance of the…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the 23rd round of the CBA regular season continued, with Guangdong team challenging Jilin team away. In this game, Jilin's main players such as Jones and Jiang Weize did not play, so the excitement of this game was much less. One of the highlights may be how Les performs in regular time. In the first quarter, Guangdong team started with Jillenwalt scoring 8 points in a row, followed by Xu Jie scoring 4 points to lead 12-2 by 10 points; then Guangdong team's focus on both offense and defense dropped, with many unnecessary turnovers on the offensive end; on the defensive end, they gave Jilin many opportunities to attack the basket, fortunately, Jillenwalt scored 18 points in the first quarter with hot shooting, and Guangdong team led 25-22 by 3 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Guangdong started full-court leading defense and double-teaming the ball handler, causing Jilin to make consecutive mistakes, and Guangdong made consecutive defensive counterattacks to open up the point difference to double digits; after Jilin narrowed the point difference slightly, Guangdong immediately launched a wave of 16-2 to open up the point difference to 21 points. In the final stage, Bazley first made consecutive blocks, followed by a dunk, and the first half ended with Guangdong leading 63-39 by 24 points. At the beginning of the third quarter, Xu Jie, Du Runwang, Huang Rongqi, Morland, and Bazley all scored, and Guangdong team again launched a wave of 16-4 in half a quarter to lead 79-43…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the second stage of the CBA league regular season continued. Recently, after losing at home to the Zhejiang team, Guangdong men's basketball team's record of 12 wins and 10 losses was no longer enough to guarantee the team's entry into the playoffs this season. However, the disadvantages of the domestic lineup in positions three and five made it impossible for Du Feng to ensure that Guangdong could adapt with a more balanced lineup to the single foreign aid system in the final quarter of the game. In response, activating a qualified domestic No. 3 position player is far more important than introducing a powerful small foreign aid. Because in the past, Guangdong lost many games because Morand couldn't play in the fourth quarter, resulting in the inside being blown up and losing the game. In terms of the current Guangdong foreign aid lineup, although Morand, Jilunwater, Beizeli, and Les seem very strong, only Morand can handle tough battles. Jilunwater has already proved that he cannot maintain efficiency against strong opponents in critical moments during his time with the Shandong team. Therefore, after Qiu Biao introduced Chris this season, the overall strength and record of the Shandong team also soared. Beizeli currently lacks the ability for independent offense, and when targeted by opponents, he cannot achieve the desired effect. As for Les, his personal abilities are clearly not up to the qualified level of the CBA league or above. Moreover, Guangdong's remaining foreign aid salary space is limited, and it is impossible to introduce another powerful…
