In the CBA regular season on January 4, 2025, Liaoning and Guangdong achieved significant victories away and at home respectively. Liaoning defeated Jilin 102-81 away from home, while Guangdong narrowly won against Shandong at home with the score alternating in the lead, ultimately securing a thrilling victory. Liaoning's victory over Jilin showcased their strength right from the start of the game. Zhao Jiwei's return saw Liaoning's offense display smooth coordination, particularly evident in the performances of Wells and Wang Lanqin. In the first quarter, Liaoning quickly gained momentum, leading Jilin by 19 points with a score of 33-14, demonstrating their formidable offensive and defensive capabilities. In the second quarter, Liaoning continued to extend their lead, outscoring Jilin 30-23 in the quarter. Fu Hao and Fredette stood out, especially Fu Hao, who had already scored 12 points and 5 rebounds after two quarters, making him one of the hottest players on the team. As the game progressed, Jilin was unable to turn the tide, although they made some recovery in the final quarter, they eventually lost 81-102. This victory fully demonstrated Liaoning's potential after Zhao Jiwei's return, especially on the offensive end. With Zhang Zhenlin's return, the defending champions will be even harder to shake, and Liaoning remains one of the top contenders for the championship this season. Compared to Liaoning's strong performance, the match between Guangdong and Shandong was much closer. After the game started, both sides took turns leading, with fast and efficient offensive and defensive rhythms. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of Shandong's foreign aid, Gaili, whose three-point…

The CBA schedule is very tight, with the 26th round of matches completed in just two days. In this round, there were several key battles, including Shanxi men's basketball losing to Qingdao, Zhejiang men's basketball losing to Beijing, and Guangdong men's basketball defeating Shandong. In other matches, strong teams such as Guangsha men's basketball, Xinjiang men's basketball, and Liaoning men's basketball all defeated their respective opponents. Let's take a look at the specific match-ups and results of this round. Due to several strong teams losing in this round, there have been significant changes in the rankings. Among the top four, Guangsha men's basketball remains at the top with a record of 22 wins and 4 losses, maintaining a clear advantage in terms of performance. After dropping out of the top four in the previous round, Xinjiang men's basketball returned this round and is now ranked second. Shanxi men's basketball dropped to third after losing this round. Liaoning men's basketball, like Xinjiang, returned to the top four after this round, ranking fourth with a record of 18 wins and 8 losses. Shandong men's basketball and Zhejiang men's basketball, which were previously ranked third and fourth, respectively, both slipped one place in the rankings after losing to Guangdong men's basketball and Beijing men's basketball in this round, now ranking fifth and sixth, respectively. Beijing men's basketball and Qingdao men's basketball have both achieved two consecutive victories recently, barely keeping up with the teams ahead in terms of performance, currently ranking seventh and eighth, respectively. Looking at the records, except for Guangsha men's…

The CBA league is currently in full swing, with the new season's foreign player policy adjustments allowing many teams with weaker domestic players to enhance their competitiveness through foreign players. Currently, multiple teams have shown sufficient competitiveness, creating a situation where many strong teams compete, which has not been seen in the CBA league in recent years. Indeed, such a CBA league has increased attention, and the intensity of the games is also increasing. Many domestic players are very active on the court in order to gain more playing time, which has indeed improved their own level. Of course, many teams still choose to work hard to improve their strength through foreign players in order to achieve higher breakthroughs this season. Some teams have even signed 7 or 8 foreign players in the new season, indicating that foreign players will be the group that has the greatest impact on the championship of the new season. At present, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team have officially announced the dismissal of a foreign player. Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has officially terminated the contract with foreign player Ture. Ture, as a firefighting foreign player, played a total of 7 games for Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, with an average of only 2.7 points and 3 rebounds. Although his ability is not outstanding, his attitude towards playing is good. On the other hand, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team announced the dismissal of Les. The operation of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team this time is confusing. After all, Les' level has always been questioned. Even…

On January 4th, Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued with a match between Guangdong and Shandong at Guangdong's home court. Guangdong entered the game with a record of 14 wins and 11 losses, ranking 9th in the league. In their previous game, they won against Tianjin by 7 points at home, but the team appeared exhausted. On the other hand, Shandong had just defeated the strong Xinjiang team on the road, ending their undefeated streak at home. Currently, Shandong is in high spirits with an 18-7 record, ranking fifth in the league and among the championship contenders. One of the highlights of this game was the matchup between the two guards, Xu Jie and Gao Shiyan, both aiming to lead their teams to victory. Let's look forward to seeing who will come out on top. Here is a summary of the full game and player ratings for Guangdong! Up to this point in the league, Guangdong, aiming for the finals, is only ranked 9th in the regular season, a result that fans cannot accept. Hu Mingxuan is indefinitely sidelined due to injury issues, and the team's choice of small foreign aid has been disappointing, leaving only Xu Jie with scoring ability. With limited rotation, he has to play longer minutes, which makes him very tired. The last game was an example; although they won against Tianjin, Xu Jie gritted his teeth to finish the game. Whenever he is not on the court, Guangdong gets targeted. This has become a norm, and the team must quickly solve the issue of…

Two Guangdong rejects combined for 65 points! Morand updated his social media late at night! Zhu and Du Feng are under pressure! Playing 40 minutes, shooting 15 of 11, three-pointers 10 of 7, scoring 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists! Shooting 19 of 14, three-pointers 7 of 5, free throws 3 of 3, scoring 36 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists! You didn't read it wrong; this is the post-game data from the Shenzhen team versus the Fujian team. The two Guangdong rejects combined for 65 points, leading their team to a three-game winning streak! Now let's take a look at the so-called young players of the Guangdong team! In his seventh season of his career, Du Runwang averages 8.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, while Zhang Haojia, in his sixth season, averages 3.6 points and 1.9 rebounds per game! And yet, it was said that Zhou Peng was abandoned to make way for new players! I wonder what Du Feng and Zhu Fangyu think after seeing Zhou Peng's performance! After scoring 29 points and setting a new season-high in this game, Zhou Peng has now scored over 20 points in five consecutive games. After hitting seven three-pointers in a single game, his career three-pointer count has reached 968, rising to 16th on the CBA's all-time three-pointer list! Meanwhile, Zhou Peng's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 43.2%, only 1.2 percentage points away from his career-high of 44.4%! What's more ironic is that among the current Guangdong team, apart from college player Zhang Wenyi and…

The 26th round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued, with a focus on the intense match between the strong Shanxi men's basketball team and the dark horse Qingdao men's basketball team. In the end, the stronger Qingdao team defeated Shanxi with a score of 129-122, thanks to the excellent performance of their main players such as Mickey, Yang Hanshen, Wang Ruize, and Witherspoon. It is worth noting that in this game, Shanxi's two foreign players, Goodwin and Diawara, once again performed outstandingly. Among them, Goodwin scored 32 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds throughout the game, while Diawara grabbed 38 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. With the combined 71 points from Qingdao's two foreign players, the excellent performance of the foreign players from both teams made Guangdong, who failed to strengthen their foreign player lineup, seem out of place. In fact, Diawara, who can play without the ball on the offensive end as a forward three-position foreign player, has always been the desired reinforcement target for Guangdong. Judging from the game, Shanxi's current first core foreign player with the ball is Goodwin. As the strongest dual-guard foreign player in the CBA league, Goodwin not only possesses the strongest scoring burst power in the entire league but also has top-level organizational abilities to drive the whole team. Diawara and Goodwin's characteristics are almost completely complementary, with Diawara taking on more of the role of a finisher at both ends of the court in the third position. When Goodwin is suspended or…

Recently, according to relevant media reports, the 11-time champion Guangdong is likely to cut off the team's worst small foreign aid in history, Les, and will go all out to introduce a super guard to assist Du Feng, the best domestic tactical master, to lead the team to compete for the 12th CBA championship. So who will be the mysterious fourth foreign aid for the 11-time champion Guangdong team in the future? The probability of NBL super swingman Bart joining the Guangdong team is 60%. Why is it said that the probability of NBL super swingman Bart joining the Guangdong team is the highest? Because the Guangdong team has already signed three major foreign aids, Morand + Jilunwater + Beizeli, with limited salary space, and there is not much room for maneuver to sign big-name players; therefore, the super foreign aid Bart from the NBL league, which is both cheap and good, is the best choice. Bart is invincible and scores as easily as taking things out of his pocket in the NBL league. If Guangdong can get such a strong man, it will have a chance to win the CBA championship. The probability of former Guangdong meritorious general Marshon Brooks returning to the Guangdong team is 30%. What card can the 11-time champion Guangdong team play? It must be Marshon, the CBA rhythm master who can be plugged in and used immediately. Although Marshon is now old, he still has more than enough ability to play for about fifteen minutes. The Guangdong team does not need Marshon to play…

On the evening of January 4th, Beijing time, the CBA league witnessed a focal battle, with Guangdong Hongyuan playing against Shandong Express at home. In the last five encounters, Guangdong only managed to secure two victories. This match was the second encounter between the two teams this season, with Guangdong losing 105-115 in their previous away challenge. Looking back at the game, it went through four rounds of fierce competition, with the first quarter ending 27-26, the second quarter 24-30, the third quarter 28-23, and the fourth quarter 19-14. Ultimately, Guangdong defeated Shandong Express with a score of 98-93, securing the victory. Guangdong media: "Relying on two scoring frenzies in the second half, Guangdong finally defended their home court, narrowly defeating Shandong 98-93, achieving a hard-fought victory! Both teams are among the top five in defensive efficiency in the league, so scoring low is a normal occurrence. In such circumstances, it comes down to who has the stronger ability to make key shots. Guangdong, with its 'three giants,' proved that they still have the upper hand." Morland scored a near-triple-double with 8 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Jilunwate contributed 26 points and 9 rebounds, and Xu Jie scored 22 points with 11 assists. The three giants once again saved the day, but we mustn't forget Huang Rongqi's clever passes, Ren Junfei's positioning, Du Runwang's three-pointers, and Zhang Haojia's leading long two-pointer in the final moments. Although such games are indeed exciting and heart-pounding, they also severely test the players' stability and the fans' patience. At the end of…

On January 4th, Beijing time, multiple news emerged from the CBA League. Firstly, Zhao Rui was suspended for five games and fined 100,000 yuan by the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) and the league for colliding with a referee. Additionally, Xinjiang Flying Tigers head coach Liu Wei was fined 20,000 yuan due to the responsibility system. The Xinjiang club acknowledged the fine and has severely criticized Zhao Rui, demanding stricter discipline from their players. Zhao Rui also apologized on social media, expressing his deepest regrets to all those affected. I believe that the CBA and the league responded quickly and efficiently in issuing the fines. However, I also hope that the overall quality of the league, referees, coaches, and players can be comprehensively improved. Why do I say this? It turns out that in a recently concluded regular-season match between Beijing and Zhejiang, the CBA's amateurish nature was astonishing. The game had only two referees officiating, with the third referee nowhere to be seen throughout the match. After the game, media reported that the third referee was suspected of having the flu and was unable to officiate. This highlights the amateurish side of the league, lacking a fourth referee in reserve. When three referees face controversial calls, they can still discuss it, with the minority deferring to the majority. But how do two referees make decisions? The authority of the head referee increases, leading to more missed and mistaken calls, naturally undermining the fairness of the game. The second piece of news is about the game where Zhao Rui was ejected.…

On January 4th, Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued. After four quarters of fierce competition, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Shandong Men's Basketball Team with a score of 98-93, achieving two consecutive victories. This victory for Guangdong over Shandong can be considered an "upset," even more so an "uprising from below," as Guangdong was ranked ninth in the league before the game, while Shandong Men's Basketball Team was ranked sixth. It was particularly challenging for Guangdong to win at home against Shandong, who had been in good form recently, especially with Hu Mingxuan out due to injury and the small foreign player not arriving in time. Guangdong's victory still relied on their "three horses." Xu Jie scored 22 points with 11 assists and 4 rebounds, Jilunwote scored 26 points with 9 rebounds, and Morland almost achieved a "big four happiness" with 8 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, and 7 turnovers. Adding Du Runwang with 13 points and Huang Rongqi with 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, all five starters of Guangdong could get a perfect score! Here, the editor would like to give special praise to Xu Jie. Xu Jie played for 43 minutes again, shooting 6 out of 9 times under the siege of three Shandong players: Gao Shiyan, Yu Dehao, and Xie Zhijie. He made 6 out of 8 three-pointers and 4 out of 4 free throws, efficiently scoring 22 points, 11 assists, and 4 rebounds for a double-double. Xu Jie has truly entered the "ZONE state," and even when facing the strongest defensive backcourt in the league…
