The 24th round of the CBA regular season, the Liaoning-Guangdong battle, has concluded last night. Liaoning emerged victorious with a narrow 95-89 win over Guangdong, securing their first victory against Guangdong this season. The triumph was attributed to the outstanding performance of super foreign player Wells, who scored 30 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists, along with Han Dejun's double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds. Wang Lanqin, Fu Hao, and Li Huyi played a crucial role in the fourth quarter, contributing a combined 19 points. Looking back at the game, Guangdong's loss wasn't entirely unfortunate, as Du Feng had more players at his disposal than Yang Ming, and they had two additional foreign players. However, the team's defeat can be attributed to two recurring issues: firstly, other young players within the team failed to step up and score, acting as game-changers; secondly, Xu Jie was once again overworked. Xu Jie played nearly 46 minutes in this game, scoring 16 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and providing 4 assists with 3 turnovers. However, his shooting accuracy wasn't high (6 out of 13), and his scoring was on par with Wang Lanqin. Moreover, his assist count didn't increase much (only one more than Wang Lanqin). This indicates that Xu Jie, who primarily handles the ball, is less efficient on both ends of the court compared to Wang Lanqin, who mostly plays off-ball. It's worth noting that Wang Lanqin also shot 6 out of 13, but he saved his energy for the fourth quarter. In the decisive final quarter, Wang…

In the CBA regular season, a major event took place as Liaoning faced Guangdong in what marked the 100th match between the two teams in CBA history. This was also the first matchup between the two sides to reach triple digits. In the previous 99 encounters, Liaoning had a record of 46 wins and 53 losses. Looking at the current season's performance, Liaoning's record is superior to Guangdong's, with Liaoning currently ranked 5th and Guangdong 9th. This can be considered the first meeting of the two teams this season. Currently, Liaoning is lacking a big foreign player, while Guangdong is lacking a small foreign player. Among domestic players, Liaoning's Zhang Zhenlin and Zhao Jiwei were unable to play, and on Guangdong's side, Hu Mingxuan was also unable to take the court. After an intense battle, Fu Hao's final three-pointer sealed the game, ultimately securing Liaoning's victory over Guangdong. Throughout the game, Liaoning maintained a lead over Guangdong, or rather, they kept Guangdong under pressure. Both teams had four players score in double figures, with the best performances coming from their respective foreign players. The domestic players from both Guangdong and Liaoning performed averagely, especially the young players. The main reason Liaoning won this game can be attributed to their strategy of focusing on "exhausting Xu Jie." They aggressively delayed and double-teamed Xu Jie on defense, switching between him and Morland, and on offense, whoever Xu Jie guarded had to work hard to score, aiming to accumulate fouls against him. By achieving this, Liaoning was able to maintain their advantage. Xu…

Why Did a Weakened Liaoning Beat Guangdong with Four Foreign Players? Han Dejun's Nine Words Deeply Impressed Young Players from Both Teams The grand "CBA Spring Festival Gala" match between Liaoning and Guangdong has concluded, with Liaoning defending their home court once again using a weakened lineup of only seven main players. They defeated Guangdong by a margin of six points, securing their fourth consecutive victory and improving their recent record against Guangdong to eight wins and two losses in ten encounters. This was the 100th meeting between Liaoning and Guangdong in history, with Liaoning achieving their 47th victory. Currently, Liaoning ranks fifth in the standings with 41 points, tied with fourth-placed Xinjiang and just one point behind third-placed Zhejiang, aiming for a top-three position. Meanwhile, Guangdong remains outside the top eight, facing a less optimistic situation. Both Liaoning and Guangdong have not been in great form recently, but Liaoning's lineup is even more depleted. At present, Guangdong only has Hu Mingxuan as a long-term injury concern (Zhang Hao has recovered), while Liaoning has four key players out due to injury: Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Cong Mingchen, and Liu Yanyu. There are also players playing through injuries, such as Fergie, who has been battling illness recently. With the big foreign player Ture being benched by Yang Ming, Liaoning can be said to be playing without their main lineup against Guangdong. Given such a weakened lineup, why is Liaoning still able to defeat Guangdong, who have greater depth in their squad? Let's take a look at what Han Dejun had to…

The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continues, with news about the championship favorites Guangdong men's basketball team wanting to introduce new foreign players heating up. While Guangdong has confirmed that they will continue to look for new foreign players, their fourth foreign player, Les, has not been able to get playing time in recent games. Whether it was the home defeat against Zhejiang or the away victory over Jilin, Les did not get much opportunity to train. Many fans believe that at this stage, Guangdong is more inclined to use Zhang Haojia, Zhang Wenyi, and others rather than Les. Obviously, although Les has only been with Guangdong for a short time, he has also entered the countdown to leaving the team. In the recently concluded round of matches, top-tier CBA foreign players such as Samner, Diallo, Brown, and Wells all delivered phenomenal performances, causing many fans to have significant concerns about Guangdong's foreign player choices. Shanxi, driven by the dual-core of Diallo and Goodwin, has become the hottest contender for the championship. Goodwin remains the strongest small foreign guard in today's CBA league, while Goodwin is the only remaining top-tier standard No. 3 foreign player in the league. Samner, Brown, and Wells are all explosive swingmen on offense, and Shanghai's Lofton is the top foreign player in the league who can handle offense, rebounds, and organization. At this point, Guangdong only has Morand who can be compared to them. Looking at the CBA league, there are almost only Diallo who can play as a standard No. 3…

The 24th round of the CBA regular season has concluded with teams such as Liaoning, Guangdong, Beijing, Xinjiang, and Guangsha all participating. Guangsha defeated Qingdao and continued to hold the top spot in the standings. Shanxi defeated Jilin by a large margin and returned to second place, while Zhejiang is in third. Defending champion Liaoning beat Guangdong and briefly rose to the top four. However, after Xinjiang defeated Beijing, Liaoning was pushed down to fifth. Guangdong, the 11-time champion, lost to Liaoning but remained ninth in the standings. On the CBA standings, Guangsha remains firmly in first place with 20 wins and 4 losses after defeating Qingdao. Shanxi defeated Jilin at home by 33 points, improving their record to 19 wins and 5 losses, securing second place. Zhejiang follows closely behind in third. After Xinjiang's victory over Beijing, their record became 18 wins and 5 losses, returning them to the top four and fourth in the standings. Liaoning faced old rival Guangdong at home and won by six points, achieving a four-game winning streak and a record of 17 wins and 7 losses, briefly rising to fourth in the standings. However, Liaoning's fourth-place position was short-lived as Xinjiang won at home, surpassing Liaoning again and replacing the defending champion in fourth place. Liaoning's ranking slipped back to fifth. Shandong, with the same record as Liaoning at 17 wins and 7 losses, defeated Sichuan at home and is sixth in the standings. Beijing follows with 16 wins and 7 losses, seventh in the standings. Qingdao, with a record of 15 wins…

New Year's Eve is approaching, and on the evening of December 30th, Beijing time, the 24th round of the CBA regular season concluded with the last seven matches. This night, the CBA arranged multiple exciting matchups, including two big wins, one that went into overtime, and two focus battles between Liaoning-Guangdong and Beijing-Xinjiang. There were both wins and losses in the games, so let's take a look at who the big winners of this round are. Liaoning-Guangdong's 100th matchup saw Yang Ming laugh last again. Recently, both Liaoning and Guangdong have not been in great shape. Compared to Guangdong, Liaoning's lineup is actually more fragmented, with Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin, Cong Mingchen, Liu Yanyu all injured, and the big foreign aid has yet to arrive. Therefore, Yang Ming only had two foreign aids and seven main rotation players available for this game. However, despite this, Yang Ming still managed to secure a victory, with Liaoning defeating Guangdong 95-89, securing a four-game winning streak and continuing to rank fifth. As for the losing Guangdong team, their situation is still okay because several of their competitors also lost in this round, allowing Guangdong to continue ranking ninth. However, the gap between them and the top six championship contenders has widened to as many as four points. How did Liaoning manage to defeat Guangdong with such a depleted lineup? This cannot be mentioned without highlighting the five best performers of Liaoning in this game. The first is Wells, who scored 30 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and provided 7 assists. With Fugue recently unwell,…

During the off-season, Zhou Qi's departure significantly weakened Guangdong's defensive capabilities. However, the team hoped to mitigate this loss by securing the services of Wang Shaojie, the top draft pick from Beikong. Unfortunately, as the season progressed, Wang's performance has been less than satisfactory. In a recent match against their long-standing rival Liaoning, the young and energetic Wang struggled to assert himself against Liaoning's formidable duo known as the Yin-Yang Masters, showing no advantage. In this game, Wang came off the bench to play for 12 minutes, failing to score with one shot attempt and only managing to grab two rebounds. In contrast, Liaoning's Yin-Yang Masters, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, scored 16 points with 12 rebounds and 8 points with 5 rebounds respectively. If Wang had performed better, Guangdong might have stood a chance to keep the game suspenseful until the final moments. Reflecting on Wang's career, he had previously led the Tsinghua-Peking University team to victory in the CBA All-Star Rising Stars Game before joining the league, earning him the MVP title. He achieved his best career stats of 11 points and 6.9 rebounds within just two years in the league. However, in recent years, his performance has not improved but rather declined. Initially seen as a key player for Beikong's frontcourt, Wang's position was challenged by the arrival of Zou Yuchen and the impressive performances of Chen Guohao. With the addition of Salingger and Shen Zijie to Beikong this season, the team decided to loan him out to Guangdong. It was hoped that he could be a…

CBA regular season, a focus match-up, the 100th encounter between Guangdong Men's Basketball and Liaoning Men's Basketball. In the previous 99 encounters, Guangdong team had 53 wins and 46 losses, slightly ahead, but in recent years, Liaoning has won more. This season, both teams have experienced great ups and downs, and their records are not very satisfying to fans. However, the winner of this game will definitely make fans happy for a while, so both sides will definitely try their best. In the first half, Guangdong Men's Basketball trailed Liaoning Men's Basketball 43-47! Guangdong team couldn't defend against Wells, lost rebounds, missed free throws, and Jilunwote and Bazley performed poorly, hence the lag. The local players played well, Xu Jie was as reliable as ever. Liaoning's foreign aid was effective, they had an advantage in the paint, and their free throws were stable, hence the lead. The performance of the local players was not as good as Guangdong's. Data: Xu Jie 13 points 2 assists, Huang Rongqi 5 points 2 assists, Jilunwote 4 points 5 rebounds, Morland 7 points 9 rebounds 2 assists, Bazley 2 points 4 assists, Du Runwang 9 points! Wells 21 points 2 rebounds 2 assists, Wang Lanchen 7 points, Han Dejun 6 points 8 rebounds, Li Xiaoxu 3 points 3 rebounds, Frug 5 points 6 rebounds 2 assists! In the second half, Morland's three-pointer didn't come, Wang Lanchen's mid-range shot didn't come, Morland's strong attack on Han Dejun didn't come, Wells scored, Jilunwote's three-pointer still didn't come, Han Dejun's mid-range shot, Xu Jie's layup didn't come,…

In the arena of sports competition, victory and defeat are often the most direct outcomes. However, in the Christmas night showdown between Guangdong and Zhejiang men's basketball teams, despite Guangdong's loss, they still reaped a wealth of hope and pleasant surprises. This match was like a journey filled with challenges and opportunities, where Guangdong found a glimmer of hope for the future amidst their defeat. The Emergence of a New Foreign Talent: Les' Impressive Debut In the world of CBA foreign players, Guangdong's newly signed small forward, Les, can be considered a "dark horse." It is reported that Les' value is less than $50,000, placing him at the bottom salary level in the entire CBA league. Prior to this, he had been playing in the Taiwan league without any CBA regular season experience. This led to Guangdong announcing his signing with a tone suggesting he was just a "temporary worker," seemingly always on the verge of being cut. However, it was such an underappreciated foreign player who brought unexpected joy during the Christmas night game. When the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt, Coach Du Feng waved Les onto the court. In just four minutes of playing time, Les only took one shot and missed, but his defensive performance was eye-catching. He was like an tireless guardian, actively fighting for rebounds and successfully grabbing 1 rebound, as well as quickly completing 1 steal like lightning. Although the statistics may seem ordinary, considering he sat on the bench for a full 44 minutes before entering the game and…

Liaoning defeats Guangdong with a score of 95-89, securing their first victory of the season. Throughout the game, Liaoning maintained a significant lead, showcasing their advantage in rebounds, stable free-throw performance, and stronger foreign players. They lived up to their title as defending champions, demonstrating a rich heritage. After the crucial victory, Liaoning received four pieces of good news: Firstly, Zhao Jiwei can rest assured as Wang Lanqin has finally stepped up, performing like Zhao Jiwei himself in this game. He contributed to scoring, organizing, and defense, with a perfect fourth quarter that matched the level of a foreign player. It's said that Xu Jie is like a foreign player, and so is Wang Lanqin. Secondly, Wells is incredibly strong, leading the team forward despite Ferguson's injury. In recent games, Wells has proven to be one of the top-tier foreign players in the CBA, unstoppable with a calm head, knowing when to attack and when to pass, displaying high basketball IQ. The third piece of good news is that the "Xuanming Two Elders," Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, still have fuel in their tanks. They are the team's stabilizing force; with them, teammates can confidently shoot without worry. If they miss, it's okay because Liaoning has the rebounds, allowing them to continue shooting. Lastly, the young player Li Huyi was a surprise asset in this game, playing a crucial role in the fourth quarter. With a big heart and unyielding in tough matches, he is absolutely worth cultivating. Currently, Liaoning needs to find an interior foreign player to alleviate the…
