CBA Rankings Change! Shandong Rises to 2nd, Two Strong Teams Start to Drop the Ball, Guangdong Could Enter Top 4 On January 22nd, Beijing time, with the conclusion of all matches in the 34th round of the CBA, a significant change has occurred in the latest rankings. Among them, Shandong Team, who defeated Ningbo Team 112-102 at home, once again surpassed Shanxi Team and returned to second place. The victory in this match for Shandong Team was quite interesting, as the three foreign players from Ningbo Team combined for a total of 88 points, while the remaining domestic players only scored 14 points. It can be seen that this match for Shandong Team was more like a contest against pure foreign players. Among them, Ningbo's foreign player Ma Qi personally scored an astonishing 60 points, becoming the first player in the CBA this season to score over 60 points. However, basketball is a team sport, and as the saying goes, "One cannot defeat four with two fists." Despite Ma Qi's explosive 60-point performance, it was not enough to stop Shandong Team from winning. After the game, Shandong Team's head coach Qiu Biao also gave special praise to Ningbo Team's Ma Qi! Qiu Biao stated, "I often say that one must guard against uncertain factors in basketball games. A foreign player scoring 60 points is an uncertain factor; he made many difficult shots. Fortunately, our defense was excellent. As for why Gao Shiyan did not play, Qiu Biao explained that it was to protect the player, who will rest and adjust…

Tonight, multiple major battles are taking place simultaneously, with the Shanghai-Guangdong matchup and the Shanxi-Nanjing game receiving the most attention. The result is that Guangdong's nine-game winning streak has been ended, and the dark horse Shanxi suffered an upset loss. Below is a summary of these two games. Guangdong 81-115 Shanghai The game started with Guangdong coming out strong, continuously executing defensive counterattacks, and opening with a 9-0 run to force a timeout from Shanghai. The game continued with Shanghai responding with a 10-0 run. The two teams' scores alternated, but Shanghai steadily maintained the lead. With Wilson's three-pointer, Guangdong entered the second quarter trailing by 8 points. In the second quarter, Shanghai started with an 11-5 run to force another timeout from Guangdong.

Shanghai was already leading by 30 points, effectively eliminating any suspense from the game. At the end of the third quarter, Guangdong trailed by 26 points. In the final quarter, Guangdong essentially gave up, with Xu Jie not even starting. Ultimately, Guangdong lost 81-115 to Shanghai, conceding a 34-point defeat that ended their nine-game winning streak and also resulted in being swept by Shanghai for the season. Jilunwater was benched due to a dispute with…

Guangdong Hongyuan's offseason signings have really brought great expectations to the fans! The foreign players Barton and Bazley were cut, which caught many people off guard. However, this decision was not unexpected. This season, Guangdong Hongyuan's foreign players' performances did not fully meet the team's needs. The two remaining foreign players, Morand and Jilunwater, may not be able to completely solve the problems on the front line. Therefore, the next highly anticipated move is the signing of a foreign forward, which has become an urgent position for Guangdong Hongyuan to strengthen. Recently, basketball journalist Song Xiang revealed an exciting message - Guangdong Hongyuan is interested in signing former NBA player Donis Arms! You know, Arms is not just a "sounding exotic" name; he is a truly talented young player. Although Arms did not find a fixed position in the NBA, his performance in the NBA Development League, especially during his time with the Grizzlies, was quite impressive. Born in 1998, Arms stands at 1.98 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. At a young age, he has already shown a hardcore basketball heart. Despite becoming an undrafted player in the NBA, he did not sink into despair but instead made a name for himself in the Development League! Last season, while playing for the Grizzlies' Development League team, he averaged 28.6 minutes per game, contributing 16.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 45.9% and a three-point percentage of 39.7%. These stats make me want to give him a thumbs up! When representing the Kings…

Another defeat, another crushing loss, Guangdong men's basketball team lost to Shanghai men's basketball team away from home, with a gap of 34 points. Adding the first round of 33 points, Guangdong team lost 67 points in two rounds, which is embarrassing. Although Guangdong team's current strength is definitely not as good as Shanghai team's, the process is so ugly that fans are definitely dissatisfied. The game can be lost, but the fighting spirit cannot be lost. What's worse is the conflict between the coach and the players, which is the most fatal. In the first quarter of the game, Jilunwote was distracted in defense, Du Feng replaced him and scolded him. Jilunwote is not a domestic player, he can't stand it, retorted, and made an internationally recognized obscene gesture to Du Feng, which everyone understands. As a result, it will definitely be "revenge" by Du Feng, directly benched, not allowed to play. Rather than let the team lose, the coach's authority cannot be challenged. Undoubtedly, this is a double loss situation. After the game, Du Feng confirmed the contradiction between the two at the press conference. He responded to the reason why Jilunwote was DNP: he had problems (provoking me), so he didn't play in the second half. Du Feng's anger tonight is very big. Not only did he scold Jilunwote, one of the main players, but also Xu Jie, another main player. I don't know what happened to Du Feng today. Without these two people, you would have been fired long ago. You don't even know how to…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Team defeated Guangdong Men's Basketball Team with a score of 115-81, ending Guangdong's nine-game winning streak and achieving a double kill for the season. The two games resulted in a combined victory margin of 77 points, demonstrating a clear dominance. There isn't much to say about this match; Shanghai comprehensively overwhelmed Guangdong, leaving them with no ability to fight back. It was like the script of Chang Wei beating Lai Fu. Guangdong only managed to resist at the beginning with a 9-0 run but collapsed after being overtaken. Shanghai remained calm when trailing and stable when leading, showing the qualities of a champion. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game. Cantonese media: "It's a pity that the nine-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, just one win short of reaching double digits. However, there are still obvious shortcomings in the current Guangdong team. They lack a good small foreign aid, limiting their competitiveness. Bazley wasted too many opportunities; his individual play simply doesn't work! It's inexplicable why Jilunwater didn't play, and they ended up losing by a large margin to the strong Shanghai team, which was completely reasonable! Don't worry too much about the data; go home, get a good night's sleep, and recover as soon as possible." Shanghai media: "The last time Shanghai men's basketball team completed a double kill against Guangdong in both home and away games during a single season regular season was during the championship-winning season of 2001-2002, which was exactly 24 years ago!" Shanxi media: "Shanghai…

In the CBA regular season, Guangdong suffered an 81-115 defeat against Shanghai. Despite a good start from Guangdong, Shanghai managed to quickly regain the lead after a surge, leaving Guangdong trailing for the remainder of the game. The score continued to widen, ultimately resulting in a crushing loss. Throughout the match, Xu Jie, Xu Xin, Wang Shaojie, and Du Runwang delivered passable performances. Shanghai targeted Xu Jie throughout the game, knowing that restricting him would prevent Guangdong from establishing an offensive rhythm. This led to Xu Jie scoring 11 points with a 5/12 shooting record and 4 turnovers, but he remained one of the better performers on the team. Xu Xin also played well, being effective both under the basket and in drawing opponents, although his status remains relatively low. Wang Shaojie entered the game when the score difference widened, going 2/2 for 4 points and 2 rebounds, not a bad result. Du Runwang had his best three-point shooting performance recently, going 5/10 for 13 points, hopefully maintaining this form. Huang Rongqi, Morand, Walter, Bazley, Zhang Wenyi, Zhang Haojia, Ren Junfei, and Yang Yi all had disappointing performances. Huang Rongqi's main issue is his butterfingers; he crumbles at crucial moments and seems only capable against weaker opponents. Morand faced endless criticism, contributing nothing in the paint. While his previous defensive dominance was commendable, this game saw him constantly missing assignments, leaving Guangdong's interior defense vulnerable. Walter went 1/3 in his six minutes on the court, but did not play further, for reasons unknown. Bazley also underperformed; previously known for his…

In the CBA regular season, the Guangdong team, which had won nine consecutive victories, faced off against the recently strong Shanghai team away from home. At the beginning of the game, Xu Jie made a steal and scored under the basket, followed by another successful shot under the basket. Du Runwang hit a three-pointer, starting with a 9-0 run, while the Shanghai team was scoreless for more than two minutes. Wang Zhelin and Morand got tangled up in their arms, almost leading to a conflict. Liu Zheng and Li Hongquan successively hit key three-pointers. Wang Zhelin grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a strong two points against Morand, overtaking the score and launching a 10-0 scoring wave. Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, showing excellent personal form. Lovett made a fast-break dunk, Bazley hit a crucial three-pointer. Wilson also hit a three-pointer, and Du Feng replaced Xu Jie, scolding him for his unsatisfactory performance. Du Feng remains strict with the CBA's top vote-getter. Li Hongquan and Lovett continued to hit three-pointers, and Wilson hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer. At the end of the first quarter, the Guangdong team trailed 23-31. Li Hongquan scored 15 points with 4 out of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, performing outstandingly. Li Tianrong scored a layup to extend the lead to double digits. Bradley scored a 2+1 against Xu Jie, demonstrating his experience. Xu Jie turned around and hit a key three-pointer, but Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, making it unstoppable. Bazley went on a shooting spree outside the three-point line, playing unreasonably. Jilunwalt didn't play…

The fans of the Tongxi team have recently become the "hot search" on the court, not their team. Imagine that the game has just been played halfway, and the fans began to vent their emotions, smashing water bottles, throwing debris, and even speaking without restraint to the opposing players. This scene is simply like a "classic plot" in a TV series, which makes people shake their heads. In the game against Shanxi, the Tongxi fans committed their old problems again. The referees and players are tired, and what is most speechless is that the scene almost lost control, and both sides almost broke out into conflict. As a result, the league had to punish them twice. However, the problem is that this does not seem to have made these fans remember. However, to put it another way, this game against Guangdong has made the Tongxi team's players perform quite eye-catching. Lin Wei, Leaf, Zhao Baqing and others played passionately, which was completely unlike playing a "life-saving battle". They played quite rhythmically, especially in the third quarter, when they launched a passionate offensive with the Guangdong team. Although they eventually fell behind by 12 points, their performance really had commendable aspects, especially Lin Wei's long-range three-pointer, which was simply stunning the audience. Who would have thought that these players could play such a beautiful game under such great pressure? Looking at the Guangdong team, Xu Jie, Walter, and Bazley's combination is simply a nightmare-level existence. They worked together to score more than 80 points, especially Bazley, whose two dunks directly pressed…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Dominates Guangdong Men's Basketball! Xu Jie Targeted, Bazley Without Three-Pointers, Jilun Wat Injured The Shanghai men's basketball team faces off against the Guangdong men's basketball team in a home match! In the first game, Shanghai won by a large margin of 33 points. Returning to their home court for this match, they have no reason to lose and must secure a double kill. Guangdong is at a disadvantage and will need to rely on their three-point shooting to achieve revenge, as it will be difficult to win otherwise. In the first quarter, Guangdong trails Shanghai by 8 points with a score of 23-31. Guangdong took the lead initially with a 9-0 start. Shanghai then responded with a 10-0 run. Following this, Guangdong was dominated by Shanghai on both offense and defense, being completely overwhelmed. Shanghai only needed to restrict Xu Jie to disrupt Guangdong's offensive flow. Their defense led to offense, counterattacks emerged, and accurate three-point shooting naturally widened the gap. In the second quarter, Guangdong continued to struggle with scoring, compounded by poor free-throw performance. They were unable to capitalize on easy points, leaving one to wonder who to blame. Shanghai's offense was also average, so the point difference did not increase significantly. Zhang Haofei had consecutive misses, while Bradsoe scored three points, bringing the difference to 12 points. Xu Jie finally hit a three-pointer, but Wilson threw the ball out of bounds, and Ren Junfei had consecutive misses as well. Both Wilson and Li Hongquan missed their three-point attempts, indicating that both teams were struggling…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, the CBA "Spring Festival Battle" ushered in a focus match, with Guangdong Hongyuan facing Shanghai men's basketball team. After four quarters of competition, Guangdong suffered a crushing defeat to Shanghai with a score of 81-115, ending their nine-game winning streak. Contrary to external expectations, the game lost its suspense from the first half, as Shanghai's offense was relentless while Guangdong struggled like constipation. Adding to the woes, Du Feng's self-destruction, due to an argument with foreign aid Jilunwote, led to his DNP (Did Not Play), prematurely abandoning the game, resulting in another crushing defeat for Guangdong against Shanghai. It is worth noting that in the previous matchup, Guangdong lost by a whopping 33 points, and with this defeat, Shanghai has won a total of 67 points over two games, leaving Guangdong fans in shock! In terms of data, Xu Jie from Guangdong scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists; Bazley had 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists; Morand contributed 5 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists; Zhang Wenyi scored 8 points with 6 assists; and Zhang Haojia had 6 points and 5 rebounds. On the Shanghai side, Li Hongquan scored 21 points, Li Tianrong had 17 points, Lofton contributed 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists; Liu Zheng scored 15 points; and Wang Zhelin had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Guangdong started the game very smoothly, scoring a 9-0 run against Shanghai. However, this turned out to be the only time Guangdong led in the first half. Shanghai quickly responded with an 11-2…
