Translation of the article content into English: The CBA league has entered its "deep waters," and the performances of national players are like sharpened blades, revealing a clear hierarchy. If there is one player who stands out as the biggest surprise this season, it must be Xu Jie. With an average of 15.9 points and 7.9 assists per game, he has become the core brain of Guangdong team, firmly occupying the top tier. On the other hand, Zhou Qi, due to his "stop-and-go" state, has become "pending." The stratification of national players reflects the underlying concerns for the future of Chinese basketball: Is it a lack of talent depth, or do injuries lead them astray? This time, the focus of the CBA regular season is not limited to any single match but rather a trend—national players' performances are being reshuffled on a seasonal basis. Judging from the overall data of the first 28 rounds of the CBA, national players can be roughly divided into four tiers, with distinct levels. Tier 1: Xu Jie stands alone, becoming the absolute core of Guangdong team Xu Jie's performance is phenomenal. This season, his average score has soared from 10.9 points last season to 15.9 points, and his assists have increased from 4.9 times to 7.9 times, directly ranking him sixth in the league's assist list. This is not only a breakthrough in statistics but also a change in role. From a "puzzle-type" player on the court to the organizer of the team, his coordination in the offensive end and his initiative in defense…

Guangdong Hongyuan's Rising Star Returns to CBA! Trials with Nanjing Tongxi The third domestic player trading window period of the season is about to begin, from January 10 to 16, 2025. During this period, teams can sign free agents and trade local players. Many clubs are trying out players, hoping to find some hidden gems. Do you still remember Zhao Jinyang from Guangdong Hongyuan? It is reported that Zhao Jinyang will try out for multiple teams, including Nanjing Tongxi. Speaking of Zhao Jinyang, many fans feel sorry for him! Zhao Jinyang has been with the Guangdong team for 4 seasons. He performed very impressively in his rookie season, once scoring 19 points in a single game. Du Feng also liked him very much, praising him for his serious training and once cultivating him as a star of hope. However, the more time went on, the less playing time Du Feng gave him. Last season, he only played 6 games. This summer, Zhao Jinyang's contract expired, and the Hongyuan club did not renew it with him. Zhao Jinyang's defense is good, but his offense is lacking. Standing at 1.98 meters tall, he has good conditions and can play both as a guard and a forward. However, he lacks confidence on the court and dare not shoot after being scolded by Du Feng. Recently, Zhao Jinyang is trying to return to the CBA and will try out for multiple teams such as Tongxi, Fujian, Ningbo, etc., hoping to secure a contract. Born in 2001, Zhao Jinyang is still very young. If given…

On January 8th, the CBA regular season was incredibly exciting, with many unexpected outcomes in the matches. In particular, the game between Guangsha and Beijing was a real "comeback drama," with Guangsha making an impressive 17-point comeback against Beijing, putting on a great show for the fans. Meanwhile, powerhouses like Guangdong, Shanghai, and Liaoning didn't disappoint, easily securing victories over their opponents. Let's start with the match between Guangsha and Beijing, which was truly full of ups and downs. In the first half, both teams struggled offensively. Although Bo Ban returned, he didn't bring about any significant changes to the team, and Beijing took advantage of Guangsha's offensive slump to lead by 8 points at halftime. However, in the second half, the situation changed dramatically. Guangsha made a 13:2 run in the final quarter, quickly closing the gap and overtaking Beijing. During this time, Beijing's Jerman wasn't very effective, not only failing to score but also making frequent mistakes. At the most critical moment, Barry Brown of Guangsha remained calm, scoring continuously and making several crucial contributions on defense, helping Guangsha ultimately reverse Beijing and secure a 17-point victory. After watching the game, one netizen commented, "Beijing seems a bit lost right now. Jerman is a strong player, but why did he fail in the key moments? It feels like they lack players like Chen Yingjun who can stabilize the team." Indeed, Beijing's ability to seize opportunities in critical moments is questionable, while Guangsha's Brown demonstrated his experienced demeanor. Moving on to the match between Shanghai and Beikong, Shanghai seemed…

Guangzhou Long Lions are not having an easy time, experiencing a short streak of surprises at the beginning, but now facing a long losing streak, ranking at the bottom of the league. Unexpectedly, within the team, young player Zhang Xingliang and his dancer girlfriend have engaged in some rule-breaking antics. The reason lies in Zhang Xingliang placing his girlfriend inside his personal suitcase and sneaking her into the team dormitory. To make matters worse, his girlfriend, with a smug expression, posted photos on social media of the two of them tutoring each other on homework. This act is akin to poking a hornet's nest, making it widely known. Even the Guangdong Men's Basketball Club finds it difficult to overlook this behavior and can only urgently issue an internal notice, announcing the suspension of Zhang Xingliang from participating in the club's first-team games and training. Many fans have also appeared in the comment section, stating that they saw Zhang Xingliang leaving with his girlfriend after matches, clearly not focusing on training. Zhang Xingliang, born in 2004, is only 20 years old, and this is his second season in the CBA. He has played 26 games this season, barely averaging 6+2 stats. Zhang Xingliang claims he was tutoring his girlfriend because she had too many failed courses at school. However, records show that Zhang Xingliang previously attended Guangzhou Sports Vocational and Technical College, which is essentially a quasi-junior college or even a secondary vocational school. As a sports talent, most of his time was spent on basketball training, and he even entered…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team Cuts Fourth Foreign Player, Du Feng Thrilled, Season Championship Bid Intensified Guangdong Men's Basketball Team is a powerhouse in the CBA, with its popularity ranking among the top tier in the league. Additionally, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team offers very affordable ticket prices, resulting in consistently high attendance rates that are always among the highest in the league, often to the point of being sold out. However, following the retirement of Yi Jianlian and the transfers of Zhao Rui and Zhou Peng, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has experienced a significant drop in strength. In particular, the team lacks a reliable scorer, leading to a situation where they struggle to both attack and defend on the court, giving off a sense of constipation. This has caused many fans to be dissatisfied. Fans buy tickets to watch their team play and win matches in an exhilarating manner; they do not come to see their team get dominated. As a result, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team's attendance rate this season has even failed to rank within the top five. Changing this situation is relatively simple: recruit a top-level scorer. Once the situation improves and the team can defeat opponents in a spectacular and smooth manner, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, with its deep roots, can quickly regain its status as the most popular team in the league. Zhu Fangyu understands this situation, so he signed a top scorer, Rayven Lester, some time ago. However, what Zhu Fangyu did not expect was that he made a mistake in his judgment. Lester is not…
