In the 26th round of the CBA, the second battle between Shandong and Guangdong took place. In the first stage of the season, Guangdong suffered a 10-point defeat, starting with two consecutive losses. This time, for Du Feng, it was a must-win situation. On the other hand, Shandong, who had superior strength on paper, also hoped to double-kill Guangdong this season. With recent defeats for Zhejiang and Shanxi, Shandong had a chance to climb to second place in the standings if they could beat Guangdong. Qiubiao was determined to win, but unfortunately, he failed. In the first quarter, both teams played fiercely, with the score tied and the lead changing hands. Xu Jie only played 9 minutes in the first quarter but hit two three-pointers in a row. Qiubiao heavily relied on Tao Hanlin, Kumajie, and Chris, three centers who took turns guarding the basket with strong defense, making it difficult for Morand and Jilunwate to attack. At the end of the first quarter, Shandong and Guangdong were tied at 24 points each. In the second quarter, Xu Jie returned and unleashed his full firepower, scoring another three three-pointers for a total of 11 points in the quarter. King Jijie also found his rhythm against Chris, continuously scoring through fouls and free throws. Shandong gradually pulled away under Gali's leadership, who had a strong offensive desire in the second quarter, scoring against Bazley and Huang Rongqi. With Gali scoring 11 points in the quarter and 20 points in the half, Guangdong gradually fell behind. Du Feng had limited options; Bazley's…

Prior to this match, Guangdong had a record of 14 wins and 11 losses, ranking 9th in the league; while Shandong had 18 wins and 7 losses, temporarily ranking 5th. The two teams had previously met once, with Shandong winning 115-105. In this rematch, Shandong was on a strong streak of five consecutive victories, while Guangdong hoped to take advantage of the home court to bounce back. After four quarters of intense competition, Guangdong narrowly defeated Shandong 98-93. After the game, the players' performances sparked heated discussions, and here are five undeniable facts: Fact One: Xu Jie once again steps up, becoming the absolute core of Guangdong Xu Jie's performance was impeccable. As Guangdong's starting point guard, he not only frequently hit key three-pointers from outside but was also one of the most influential players on the court. Throughout the game, Xu Jie scored 22 points and dished out 11 assists, especially when the team's offense fell into a trough, Xu Jie unhesitatingly stood up and led the team to victory. His performance was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to Guangdong's victory in this game. Fact Two: Morand's versatile performance, assisting the team in both offense and defense Morand's contributions at both ends of the court cannot be overlooked. He not only demonstrated stable scoring ability on the offensive end but also provided significant support to the team in rebounds and assists. In the entire game, Morand not only scored 8 points…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team pulled off a surprising victory against the formidable Shandong team with a score of 98-93, successfully reversing the game to achieve an upset win. This victory did not come easily for Guangdong; they were under pressure in the first half, managed to take the lead in the third quarter but quickly fell behind again. Fortunately, they held their ground in the fourth quarter with solid defense, and capitalized on Shandong's poor offensive performance, where they just couldn't seem to make their shots, leading to a lucky victory. Coach Du Feng breathed a sigh of relief after the game, acknowledging the difficulties faced by the team. There are two pieces of good news following Guangdong's victory: Firstly, Xu Jie continued to be impressive; without him in the first half, the team would have crumbled. He also led the team well in the second half. Additionally, he only played for 44 minutes, resting for 4 minutes, which was a much-needed breather. It is hoped that he can rest for 8 minutes in the next game, gradually increasing his rest time, as overuse could lead to injuries. Secondly, Morand's defense was truly strong, completely stifling Shandong's attack in the fourth quarter. He also possesses organizational skills, acting as a defensive anchor, providing stability. However, his major flaw was the high number of turnovers, with 7 in this game, an area that needs improvement. Alongside the good news, there are also two pieces of bad news: Firstly, Bazley struggled in high-level competition, lacking ball-handling and offensive capabilities, as well as…

Guangdong Hongyuan has welcomed two consecutive victories, and coach Du Feng has deployed an unexpected strategy to face the strongest Shandong men's basketball team. While Du Feng jokingly referred to Xu Jie as a "small foreign aid," it also reflects the less-than-satisfactory aspects of Guangdong Hongyuan's foreign aid introduction strategy. However, it would be unfair to declare it a complete failure, as there are still two foreign aids, Jilunwater and Morland, to rely on. As for Lais, his departure is a foregone conclusion, and whether he can make it into the 12-man roster in the future remains uncertain. Next, Guangdong Hongyuan will play at home against the Shandong men's basketball team, which is in excellent form. Coach Du Feng intends to use a surprise move by arranging Jilunwater and Beizeli to play together, aiming to launch quick counterattacks with their speed advantage. On the other hand, Shandong men's basketball team will undoubtedly rely on Chris as the key player in the game, but he must remain calm at all times, be wary of the opponent's defensive strategies, and avoid emotional outbursts. This match will be broadcast live on CCTV5. One of the major challenges currently facing Guangdong Hongyuan is the redundancy of personnel in the frontcourt. Jilunwater has become the team's top foreign aid, followed closely by Morland, while Beizeli, Wang Shaojie, Du Runwang, and Ren Junfei all possess the ability to play in the frontcourt. However, the backcourt seems to be in short supply, with Xu Jie almost having to play the entire game, and Huang Rongqi, although in…

On January 4th, Beijing time, several explosive news broke out in the CBA! Guangdong Hongyuan officially announced the termination of cooperation with small foreign aid Les. The official announcement stated that the team will continue to look for high-quality foreign aid, and there are also media reports that Zhu Fangyu is listening to foreign aid offers from various agents. On the Liaoning men's basketball side, after signing the big foreign aid Patton, there are new moves. According to European basketball reporter Chema de Lucas, former NBA player James Webb III is expected to join the Liaoning men's basketball team of the CBA. Webb is 31 years old, 2.06 meters tall, and plays as a forward. He briefly played for the NBA Nets during the 17-18 season. It is worth noting that Webb participated in the Americas Cup qualifiers with Fogg in 20 years. He will be the seventh foreign aid signed by Liaoning this season! There are also reports that Zhao Jiwei has arrived in Jilin with the team and is expected to return early. Guangdong's early termination of cooperation with Les did not come as a surprise to fans. After all, the team initially positioned Les as a temporary worker, and no one expected him to bring much help to Guangdong. Indeed, since joining Guangdong, Les has scored zero points, and the promise to reduce Xu Jie's burden eventually became a bubble. The reason why Zhu Fangyu quickly cut Les was because Les' skills were too poor, unable to alleviate Xu Jie's pressure, and still occupying the salary cap.…

In the CBA arena, the smoke of battle is rising as teams compete fiercely, using all their might. Guangdong Hongyuan has signed Les in a lightning-fast move to strengthen their guard line; Liaoning has made a decisive decision, cutting Tu Lei and welcoming Patton, determined to take another step towards the championship. The league is full of hidden talents, and it remains to be seen who will have the last laugh. This season's CBA is a fierce competition, with playoff tickets being highly sought after. The defending champion Guangdong team still has its foundation, but they also feel the immense pressure on their guard line. Whether Les' addition can be a timely rain remains to be tested in actual combat. After all, the fourth foreign player slot is hard-won and must be fully utilized. Liaoning's recent change of players is a bold move. Tu Lei's performance was not satisfactory, while rookie Patton is said to be a scoring ace. Whether he can perfectly fit into Liaoning's system depends on how coach Yang Ming turns him into gold. Although this move carries risks, if successful, it could lay the foundation for the team's dynasty, much like when Guangdong signed Weems years ago. Zhejiang team suffered a bolt from the blue as their star player Wu Qian is out for a month due to injury. As the core of the team's offense, Wu Qian's absence will undoubtedly have a significant impact on their record. Fans are eagerly looking forward to his early recovery and return to the court. While foreign players are…

Although the CBA has quickly imposed a suspension and fine on Zhao Rui for shoving a referee, a video posted by fans showing Xinjiang Flying Tigers head coach Liu Wei insulting Yu Dehao during a game has once again brought this incident into the limelight. Last season, Yu Dehao was still playing for Xinjiang, and despite criticism from fans about his shooting ability, he was a key contributor to Xinjiang's return to the finals after many years. Now, Coach Liu Wei uses insulting language towards Yu Dehao, leaving one to wonder what Xinjiang fans and Yu Dehao think about it. However, in this game, Yu Dehao managed to shoot 3 out of 4 under pressure, contributing a much higher shooting percentage than his career average, which was crucial to Shandong's victory. In Coach Liu Wei's view, allowing Yu Dehao to shoot from outside was part of the team's defensive strategy, but Yu Dehao's high shooting percentage proved them wrong. The phrase "learning from shame to become brave" fits Yu Dehao perfectly. After experiencing ups and downs, Yu Dehao may experience a rebirth with Shandong. Meanwhile, Xinjiang's coaching staff doesn't need to get worked up over losing, as the team's strength is evident. As long as they maintain a complete roster, Xinjiang will remain among the championship contenders. After completing physical examinations and signing contracts, Zhejiang Guangsha's new recruit Bo Ban will make his debut in the match against Beikong. Beikong's lineup includes three major frontcourt players: Salinge, Shen Zijie, and Zou Yuchen, which will test Bo Ban's abilities. However, according…
