On January 2nd, Beijing time, Guangdong defeated their tough opponent Tianjin Men's Basketball Team and gained valuable rest time. They will face the recently hot Shandong Men's Basketball Team at home in a few days. Overnight, Guangdong received three pieces of good news! The first piece of good news is that Xu Jie has received a new car. Xu Jie has become a "glorious owner" of a certain car brand, not only receiving a luxury PHEV worth 400,000 yuan as a gift but also signing an endorsement contract, which can be considered as a subsidy for his "child labor contract" with Guangdong. The second piece of good news is that Guangdong has confirmed to change their small foreign player. According to Guan Xin, the reporter following the Hongyuan team, Guangdong has parted ways with foreign player Les due to his "problematic attitude." It is reported that Zhu Fangyu is already looking for a new small foreign player. The third piece of good news is that Hu Mingxuan may return early. Guangdong has invited Ye En, the strongest domestic rehabilitation teacher, to help Xiao Hu with his rehabilitation training. Judging from the video of Hu Mingxuan's movements, his recovery progress is rapid, and he is expected to return early. Since Xu Jie was promoted to the Guangdong first team, his salary has always been low, with income not matching his abilities. Some fans even said that Xu Jie signed a "child labor contract." However, the advantage of being in Guangdong Men's Basketball Team is that there is no shortage of commercial…

The CBA regular season has quickly reached its 24th round, with several major teams currently vying for the top spot. Looking at the current rankings, it's a mixed bag of joy and concern. Unlike previous seasons, the competition for playoff spots this season has largely been settled, with the top 12 teams already determined. The remaining suspense lies in which team will win the regular-season championship, who will secure the top four and eight spots, and how high Shanghai can climb. Let's take a look: The top 12 teams have been largely decided, with eight teams likely to be eliminated early! Unlike previous years, the change in foreign player usage rules has made the league more clearly divided between strong and weak teams, with playoff spots becoming clearer. Guangsha, Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Xinjiang are currently in the top four, followed closely by Liaoning, Shandong, Beijing, and Qingdao. Meanwhile, Guangdong, Beikong, Tongxi, and Shanghai all have a win rate exceeding 50%. However, Jilin, Ningbo, Sichuan, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Jiangsu, and Fujian have seen a significant drop in their win rates, making it extremely difficult for them to make a comeback into the top 12. Jilin's Jones, Jiang Weize, and Jiang Yuxing have withdrawn due to injuries, effectively giving up on this season. The most unfortunate teams are Guangzhou and Shenzhen, who had to sell off their assets due to financial issues. Rebuilding comes at a cost, and what was once a fierce battle for playoff spots until the last round now seems like these bottom eight teams will have to wait…

The first week of voting results for the CBA All-Star Game have been announced, with Guangdong team's guard Xu Jie emerging as the top vote-getter among guards with 294315 votes, forming a stark contrast to his teammate Hu Mingxuan. As last year's vote king, Hu Mingxuan not only missed out on the starting lineup for the South Division this year but also suffered a "Waterloo" in the fan voting. On the other hand, Liaoning team had only Zhao Jiwei selected for the starting lineup, which sparked discussions about the voting results and player performances in the All-Star Game. Looking at the votes, Xu Jie not only won by a landslide in the guard position but also ranked just behind the league-wide vote king Hu Jinqiu with 413320 votes, reflecting the high recognition from fans for his on-court performance. In comparison, Hu Mingxuan's vote count appeared particularly "cold." Last year, he attended the All-Star Game as the vote king, but this year he was completely unheard of in the first week of voting results. Hu Mingxuan's injury left the team's backcourt lacking depth, and fans' concerns about his recent performance and physical condition were felt by Guangdong fans, making such results emotional. In fact, Hu Mingxuan's omission is not entirely without reason. In early December last year, he suffered a shoulder injury during a match against Jiangsu team and was diagnosed with a shoulder injury requiring at least three months of recovery. Since then, Hu Mingxuan has had to temporarily leave the court, missing many recent matches for the Guangdong team.…

The new year of 2025 has begun, and on the night of January 1st, Beijing time, the 25th round of the CBA regular season featured five major battles, including three focus matches that are worth mentioning: the Tianjin-Guangdong battle, the Beijing-Liaoning battle, and the fiery Shandong-Xinjiang battle. These three games produced three records, with some players achieving legendary status in one game, others breaking through mental barriers, some receiving technical fouls and being ejected, and even someone committing an offense by colliding with the referee, becoming a hot topic of discussion during the New Year's Day battles. In the Beijing-Liaoning battle, the person who was ejected was Omoregie, while the one who achieved legendary status is Zhang Cairen. In this game where Beijing defeated Liaoning 105-90, Zhang Cairen shone brightly, becoming the X factor that determined the outcome of the game. The Beijing-Liaoning battle was intense, with Liaoning's score being suppressed by Beijing throughout the game. However, the suspense of the game remained, especially during the critical third quarter when Chen Yingjun landed on Wang Lanqin's foot after shooting, spraining his ankle and had to withdraw from the game. Beijing, which was originally leading Liaoning by 7 points, subsequently fell into a passive situation and was chased down to a difference of only 1 point by Liaoning at the end of the third quarter. Just as the fans thought Beijing was about to be overturned by Liaoning, Chen Yingjun's substitute, Zhang Cairen, stood up. When Beijing was about to be tied by Liaoning in the third quarter, Cairen hit a…

On January 1st, Beijing time, Guangdong and Tianjin's regular season game, Guangdong played with great lethality in this game, crushing their opponents in the first quarter. Unfortunately, defensive vulnerabilities appeared at the beginning of the second and third quarters, allowing the opponent to find some shooting rhythm. Fortunately, they maintained their rhythm in the second half and eventually won the game 110-103. In this game, Guangdong's offense relied solely on Walter. Whether it was shooting or scoring under the basket, he performed exceptionally well. They also thanked Tianjin for not targeting him defensively, as he scored a total of 41 points, once again demonstrating his role as an offensive powerhouse. It is worth mentioning that although Walter had been inconsistent before, today he became the sole pillar of Guangdong's offense. Of course, many players are still playing supporting roles. Morand's stability under the basket is excellent, and he also has outstanding hook shots and finishing skills, providing comprehensive output. A total of 10+14, which is enough for him. Xu Jie did not go wild in terms of scoring in this game, but several key shots were made. Moreover, his contribution in terms of organization was also very good. He had 12 assists throughout the game, completely revitalizing the offensive output. Ren Junfei continued to play a plug-and-play role, scoring 16 points with 11 out of 8 shots. Although his defense is old and cold, it is actually enough. Zhang Haojia remained stable on defense and could hit three-pointers at critical moments, having been fully mobilized. Du Runwang's offensive state has…

On January 1st, Beijing time, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Tianjin Men's Basketball Team at home with a score of 110-103, securing their first victory of 2025. After the victory, Guangdong received three pieces of good news! The first piece of good news is that the team reporter Guan Xin confirmed the replacement of a new small foreign aid. According to Guan Xin's report, the small foreign aid, Les, has completely "flipped" with the team. He refused to play in the last game, which made Du Feng furious. He directly benched Les for the game against Tianjin. Currently, agents have recommended new small foreign aid candidates to Zhu Fangyu. The second piece of good news is that Hu Mingxuan is recovering rapidly. Recently, Xiao Hu has been undergoing rehabilitation training under the guidance of top-notch rehabilitation coach Ye En. Judging from the video of Xiao Hu's movements, his recovery is quite ideal. The third piece of good news is that Er Fei is blooming in old age. In a close victory against Tianjin, Er Fei scored 16 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and provided 3 assists, playing a crucial role in saving the team at a critical moment. Some fans jokingly suggested that Er Fei should also consider delaying his retirement. Guangdong narrowly avoided a reversal after once leading by 20 points. Fortunately, Xu Jie and Er Fei played a pivotal role at the critical moment, preventing the team from being overturned. This game was so difficult for Guangdong in the final quarter because the team lacked a small foreign aid capable of…

The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season is in full swing, but rumors are quickly spreading that Guangdong men's basketball team may be ready to give up on their championship aspirations. This once invincible champion team now seems to have accepted the reality that their strength is no longer at its peak. In the last game, Guangdong lost away to Liaoning, who were missing Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin and had a thin bench of foreign players. Although this defeat was somewhat regrettable, it also reflected the actual difficulties faced by Guangdong this season. As we all know, Du Feng's coaching style in the past was known for its iron-bloodedness. His strict guidance and even "shouting-style teaching" on the sidelines made many young players suffer during their growth. However, this season's Du Feng seems like a different person. In Guangdong's repeated attempts to catch up after falling behind, he not only remains calm but also decisively substitutes key players at critical moments, giving more opportunities to bench players. This "Buddhist" style is likely Du Feng's helpless move in the face of reality - the team's current talent and strength are no longer enough to support championship ambitions. Guangdong has lost several games, which fans can see clearly. What is encouraging is that despite unsatisfactory results, Du Feng still tries to tap the potential of newcomers. The team's new foreign player, Les, has signed but has yet to make an appearance, leading many to speculate that Guangdong may have decided to invest more time and resources in cultivating local…

Seeing the neighboring Zhao Rui explode again and be directly ejected for colliding with the referee, many Hongyuan fans sighed that fortunately, it was Zhao Rui who was let go back then instead of Hu Mingxuan or Xu Jie. It is known that the Jiehu combination never overreacts to refereeing decisions. Some fans jokingly say that Xu Jie often doesn't want to respond, but he's just too tired to even speak! Recently, Xu Jie's playing time has been quite exaggerated, playing 44 minutes against Zhejiang, 46 minutes against Liaoning, and also 46 minutes against Tianjin. Playing full 45 minutes in every game, the promise made by Du Feng at the beginning to "bring in a new foreign aid to share the pressure on Xu Jie" seems to have not been fulfilled. Xu Jie is exhausted to the point of being pale, while the small foreign aid Les is watching from below. The culprit is actually the general manager Zhu Fangyu! According to the report by Guangdong's team reporter Guan Xin, Guangdong has basically decided to end its cooperation with the small foreign aid Les due to his "problematic attitude." Since joining Guangdong, Les has only played two games, totaling less than 6 minutes, scoring no points, and only getting 1 rebound and 1 steal. If you really believe Du Feng's words of "letting Les share the pressure on Xu Jie," it can only be said that both Xu Jie and the fans are too naive. Du Feng would rather have Xu Jie welded onto the court than give Les even…

On the last day of 2024, two matches were held in the CBA, both of which resulted in upsets. The Fujian team, which had lost 15 consecutive games, defeated the Jiangsu team, securing their second win of the season and ending their long losing streak, which can be considered a minor upset. However, an even bigger upset occurred on another court, where the Shenzhen team, ranked third from the bottom, defeated the Zhejiang team, who were on a 10-game winning streak and were considered strong contenders for the championship. With this victory, Shenzhen's ranking jumped three places, rising from third from the bottom to fourteenth. Why was Shenzhen able to defeat a stronger opponent? Commentator Yan Yufeng explained that Shenzhen won due to their rebounding and the defense of young player Lu Pengyu against Zhejiang's small foreign player, as they outrebounded their opponents by 23. Secondly, Willis played a crucial role in controlling the game in the key moments. Thirdly, Zhejiang lost due to injuries leading to personnel shortages and a lack of focus at the start of the game. Here, I want to focus on Willis, who was abandoned by the Guangdong team but became a key player for Shenzhen. At halftime, Zhejiang trailed by 14 points, and the gap widened to over 20 points in the third quarter. However, in the latter part of the third quarter, Shenzhen suddenly went cold and experienced a scoring drought, with the lead shrinking to only 4 points, and the huge advantage they had built up disappeared. At this critical moment, the…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the "New Year's Day Clash" of the CBA officially kicked off. It must be said that the arrangement of the CBA company for this New Year's Day Clash was quite successful. The three matches between Xinjiang and Shandong, Beijing and Liaoning, as well as Guangdong and Tianjin all went down to the wire, and various "famous scenes" were born respectively. Xinjiang hosted Shandong at home, and due to the referee ignoring the opponent's foul, Zhao Rui shouted at the referee. After being called for a technical foul, he directly pushed the referee with his hands, and the referee ejected Zhao Rui from the game. That's not all. After the game, Zhao Rui also vented on social media against Xinjiang fans, which was amazing to behold. Beijing completed a double-kill against Liaoning at home, and there were even chants of "Yang Ming step down" and "Give me back Allen" at the scene. Guangdong played against Tianjin until the last minute, and after the game, it was reported that Hongyuan had confirmed the replacement of the small foreign player, and would cut the current small foreign player Les. Zhao Rui's explosive temper is something that many Guangdong fans are familiar with. In the last two seasons with Guangdong, Zhao Rui often self-destructed, hurting both himself and the team. In the match between Xinjiang and Shandong, Zhao Rui was dissatisfied with the referee's call and, after the referee had already given a technical foul warning, he directly pushed the referee with his hands. The referee immediately called a…
