In a CBA regular season match on January 4th, Beijing time, Guangdong defeated Shandong 98-93 at home. Throughout the game, both sides competed fiercely with the score alternating in the lead. Guangdong had a slight lead in the first quarter, but Shandong overtook and extended their advantage to 5 points in the second quarter. However, Shandong did not celebrate for long as Guangdong caught up again in the third quarter, making it an exciting watch. In the final quarter, Guangdong widened the gap and secured the victory. Xu Jie stood out in this game, scoring 22 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and dishing out 11 assists, earning him the title of "Star of the Game." Gaili from Shandong also scored 22 points. After this game, Guangdong ranked 9th in the standings with a record of 15 wins and 11 losses, while Shandong remained stable at 5th after losing the game, missing the chance to challenge the top 4. Guangdong made many mistakes in this game and only managed to win with the outstanding performance of their three core players. In terms of growth potential, Li Yizhen is considered to have more room than Zhang Wenyi, coupled with his defensive capabilities, Du should give him more opportunities. Zhang Wenyi has performed poorly in two consecutive games; last game, he was intercepted when dribbling past the frontcourt during Xu Jie's rest, and in this game, he missed all five of his three-point attempts. It begs the question, which newcomer would have such an opportunity to waste? Additionally, although Guangdong played better overall than…

The recent state of Guangsha men's basketball team has really delighted the fans. They continue to firmly occupy the top spot in the CBA standings with a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, as stable as a nail. In this round of matches, Guangsha easily defeated Guangzhou team without any suspense. Victory was like picking up a sheep on the side, incidentally giving Guangzhou team a lesson. You know, this victory is not only about extending their winning streak, but more importantly, they have just introduced Boban, an inside giant who is 2.24 meters tall! As soon as this guy arrived in Hangzhou, the fans began to look forward to it. After all, such a big guy, who wouldn't want to expect his debut? Guangsha's dominance has also forced other teams to step up their efforts, especially Shandong men's basketball team, whose recent performance has been quite surprising! Who would have thought that Shandong team could defeat Xinjiang team away from home in this round of matches, not only ending Xinjiang team's unbeaten home record, but also propelling themselves from sixth place to third! Currently, Shandong men's basketball team has a record of 18 wins and 7 losses, closely following Guangsha and Shanxi. The rise of this dark horse team is really surprising and admirable. Some netizens say: The young guys from Shandong are so energetic. Their sudden rise is astonishing. Originally thought they were just accompanying runners-up, but unexpectedly they soared high, simply becoming the biggest dark horse of this season. Honestly, the recent sense of counterattack by…

As of December 19th in the early hours of Beijing time, the second match day of the 19th round of the CBA has concluded with six games determining their winners and losers. The latest league rankings have also been released, showing a change at the top of the CBA standings, with Liaoning in 5th, Guangdong in 8th, Xinjiang in 4th, and Guangzhou at the bottom. The results of the completed six games are as follows: Jilin defeated Liaoning 114-102, Shanxi beat Shandong 98-80, Shenzhen lost to Shanghai 99-103, Tongxi lost to Guangdong 97-112, Beijing won against Jiangsu 112-89, and Xinjiang won against Tianjin 104-83. The CBA standings have been immediately updated, with team rankings changing accordingly, making the championship race even more intense. Notably, Shanxi Fenjiu has become a dark horse this season, currently on a six-game winning streak, accumulating 34 points in 19 rounds to jump to first place. Zhejiang Guangsha, with 33 points, has fallen from the top spot to second. Beijing BAW has ranked third, Xinjiang is fourth, Liaoning is fifth, Shandong is sixth, and Zhejiang Chouzhou is seventh. It's worth mentioning that according to official CBA data, from third-placed Beijing BAW to seventh-placed Zhejiang Chouzhou, these five teams all have the same score of 32 points. The only differences lie in their goal difference and number of matches played. These teams are only two points behind the top team, Shanxi, meaning that just one game could significantly alter the league standings. From first to seventh place, there's actually an opportunity for any of them to challenge…

Although the departure of the "Great Demon King" Zhou Qi before the start of this season greatly weakened the strength of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, the team largely made up for the shortcomings in the interior through the introduction of big foreign aid, coupled with Xu Jie's outbreak, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team still performed well and achieved a record of 15 wins and 11 losses after the first 27 regular season games. On this match day, the 27th round of the CBA regular season continued to kick off. Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, which was in a two-game winning streak, went to the away game to challenge Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team. The two sides played an extremely fierce game. Although Zhou Peng gave his old club a cold sweat, Jilunwater took over the offensive flag of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team when Xu Jie was silenced, helping Guangdong Men's Basketball Team double-kill Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team with a score of 91-84! Last season's Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team was still an existence that could not be ignored in the CBA league. After the end of the regular season, they achieved a record of 31 wins and 21 losses, ranking eighth in the standings. However, this season, with the departure of the "Big Bird" Shen Zijie, their strength has plummeted. Before the home game against the eleven-time champion, Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team had only 8 wins and 18 losses. Moreover, in the first-round away game against Guangdong Men's Basketball Team in the season, they suffered a crushing defeat by 35 points. However, Shenzhen Men's…

Guangdong Derby is here as scheduled, and this season's three teams from Guangdong have faced significant challenges. It is unlikely that the feat of all three Guangdong teams reaching the playoffs last season will be repeated this year. Both Guangzhou and Shenzhen have traded away their starting lineups, while Guangdong Hongyuan has also struggled this season, ranking only ninth in the league and potentially setting a new low for their performance. Initially, Guangdong continued to play with their familiar double-big foreign lineup, focusing on the inside game. It's hard to imagine what their record would be without the duo of Jilunwater and Morand this season, especially Jilunwater, who was initially signed as a third foreigner but has become a superstar for Guangdong. The main issue for Guangdong Hongyuan this year has been their recruitment strategy of "greedy for small advantages but suffering great losses." They still lack an explosive offensive point on the wing, and the team has faced difficulties in the second stage. Coach Du Feng's young team was not positioned as a championship contender at the start of the season, so they chose Barton and Bazley, an old veteran and a defensive player, neither of whom could help solve the team's problems. Jilunwater was initially questioned by fans, but he later proved himself. However, the primary consideration in choosing Jilunwater was cost-effectiveness, still aiming for a bargain, and they even brought in a mercenary foreign aid, Les, from the Taiwan Provincial League. In the end, it was still a mentality of taking advantage, thinking they could get through…

On January 6th, Beijing time, Guangdong Evergrande fought hard for four quarters in the "Guangdong Derby" and finally defeated Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team with a score of 91-84 to achieve a three-game winning streak. Objectively speaking, Guangdong did not play well in this game, except for the good performance of foreign aid Jilunwote and Xu Xin, the performance of other players was quite average. However, Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team is not strong in itself, and under the hard collision, Guangdong, which has stronger execution and more powerful foreign aid, still won the final victory. Jilunwote, who scored 40 points and 14 rebounds, and Xu Jie, who played with injuries and ended the game with a layup at the critical moment, led the perfect score group, while Beizili and Ren Junfei performed well, and as for Morand, Yang Yi, Huang Rongqi were completely unqualified! Guangdong received a perfect score evaluation in this game, including Jilunwote who scored 40+14, Xu Jie who scored 9 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds, Zhang Haojia who scored 14 points and 4 rebounds, and Xu Xin who scored 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Maybe everyone doesn't feel how amazing it is that Jilunwote scored 40+, after all, this season Jilunwote has won games on his own too many times, and everyone is used to his strong performance. Xu Jie played with injuries in this game, only playing for 17 minutes, and the data is not very eye-catching, but the layup at the critical moment directly killed the game, and just this score is enough…

In a road game against Qingdao, Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered a crushing defeat by 17 points, but what is even more concerning is that the team only scored 79 points, far below their average of 111.9 points in the first seven games of the season. The reasons for Liaoning's loss in this game can be summarized into two points: Firstly, the engine on the perimeter has stalled. Zhao Jiwei's absence due to injury has left Liaoning without the brain of their team operations. Wang Lanqin, the newly introduced player, is a decent player at the No. 1 position, but it is clear that he has not yet fully integrated into the team system and there is some gap between his abilities and Zhao Jiwei's. Without Zhao Jiwei, Fredette had to take on both the scoring role and the organization, which led to him being physically exhausted in the fourth quarter and unable to lead the team to catch up. Compared to the dilemma of foreign players, Liaoning's hidden worries in the paint cannot be ignored either. Han Dejun was suppressed by Yang Hanshen of Qingdao in the paint, which was also one of the main reasons for Liaoning's loss. In the first match of the season between the two teams, Han Dejun contributed 20 points and 9 rebounds, while Yang Hanshen only got 6 points and 7 rebounds, completely suppressing Yang Hanshen on both offense and defense. However, as the game progressed, 38-year-old Han Dejun's physical fitness became critical. He could no longer provide enough support for the team's paint…

The calm before the storm shrouded the second battle between Shandong and Guangdong. The home team Guangdong faced Shandong in a match that was not only about the honor of the two teams but also tugged at the hearts of countless fans. On the Guangdong side, Hu Mingxuan had been out for a long time, and several players were unwell, but they gritted their teeth and vowed to fight for victory at home. The whistle blew, and both sides quickly entered the game, with the score rising alternately, creating a tense atmosphere that made it hard to breathe. At halftime, Shandong led 56-51, with Gaili performing outstandingly, contributing 20 points in a single quarter and leading the team to take the lead. The cheers from the audience rose and fell, seemingly heralding an exciting show to come. But no one expected that the real competition had just begun. In the third quarter, the situation changed dramatically as Huang Rongqi of Guangdong suddenly exploded, teaming up with Xu Jie to launch a 14-0 run, instantly overtaking the score. This wave of attacks surged like a tide, catching the previously leading Shandong off guard. Shandong's offense ended fruitlessly several times in a row, and their defense failed to effectively stop the scoring frenzy of the opponent. At this critical moment, foreign aid Chris lost control of his emotions and was penalized for a flagrant foul for elbowing Xu Jie, directly costing Shandong valuable points and rhythm. This incident not only changed the situation on the court but also forced coach Qiu Biao…

According to foreign player agent Dong Hao, after the departure of Les, Guangdong men's basketball team is trying out the fourth foreign aid, which is Bart, a 1.97-meter dribbling forward. Bart previously played for Guangxi Weizhuang in the NBL and once scored 44 points in a single game. Although his ability has some gaps with the peak period of Weems, it is more in line with Du Feng's tactics of launching an attack from the forward. Before Les tried out for a week, he was only given 5 minutes of playing time after signing, so Guangdong fans are wary of the club's tryout. Moreover, what the team urgently needs now is a foreign guard with hard-solving ability, not a forward foreign aid. Xu Jie playing more than 40 minutes per game is not a long-term solution. Guards such as Zhang Wenyi and Yang Yi either have poor ball control skills or are too short and easy to be targeted. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce foreign guards to share the pressure on Xu Jie. Besides, the forward line has already given Bazley a full guarantee contract. Adding another forward foreign aid will overlap their positions, not only wasting resources but also failing to solve the shortcomings. After completing the relevant registration procedures, Liaoning men's basketball team's new aid Justin Patton will make his debut in the match against Zhejiang Guangsha. Although he has been training with the team for a few days, it is recommended that Liaoning fans do not pin too much hope on Patton. Although everyone hopes that…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Officially Cuts Les, Du Feng Receives Three Good News, Zhu Fangyu is Busy Again The sudden departure of Les from Guangdong Men's Basketball team after only ten days was unexpected, but it was necessary as the team urgently needed a capable point guard. However, there are many factors to consider behind this decision. Guangdong brought in Les to alleviate the burden on Xu Jie, but this approach had its issues. It's not easy for a new foreign player to adapt to the team's style and rhythm, especially considering the different intensity levels between the CBA and the NBA. It's normal for Les to struggle on the court under these circumstances. This situation reflects Guangdong's impatience; they wanted an immediate solution, but basketball isn't that simple. Even top-tier foreign players need time to acclimate, let alone someone like Les whose abilities were questionable. From another perspective, this failed signing isn't entirely negative. It demonstrates that Guangdong's management has the courage to make adjustments when things don't work out, saving time that could have been wasted. Guangdong genuinely needs a reliable point guard, as Xu Jie can't carry the load alone, especially during the playoffs when physical exertion is higher. This matter requires careful consideration since the point guard position is crucial. They must find someone who can genuinely contribute to the team. Guangdong's current situation is somewhat awkward, as they must balance immediate combat power with future considerations. The immediate priority is to scout for a new foreign player, but they mustn't rush this process. They need to…
