After five seasons with the Guangdong team, during which he played in 171 games and averaged 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game, Marshon Brooks has finally left the team. Throughout his tenure with Guangdong, Marshon accumulated a total of 3,888 points, 994 rebounds, and 826 assists, making him a true contributor to the team's success. However, time waits for no one, and age has caught up with Marshon. Following his Achilles tendon rupture, he has aged rapidly, and his offensive prowess is no longer as sharp or lethal as it once was. This season, Marshon represented Guangdong in 39 games, averaging only 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game in 18 minutes of playtime, marking career lows across the board. Zhu Fangyu, the general manager of the Guangdong Southern Tigers, openly stated that the decision to part ways with Marshon was primarily due to concerns over his age and offensive efficiency. Despite the confusion and speculation surrounding the timing of Guangdong's decision to release Marshon, the team has been transparent about its intentions. They have made it clear that they are seeking a more impactful foreign player to replace him, and this statement holds true. According to media personality Xue Sijia, "Sources reveal that after amicably terminating their contract with Marshon Brooks, the Guangdong Southern Tigers are interested in signing Nathan Knight, an interior player who previously played for NBA teams such as the Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves." It turns out that Guangdong had already identified a potential replacement for…

On the afternoon of January 19th, Shandong Taishan's satellite team, Brazil Sports (a team from the A3 league of Sao Paulo state, Brazil), faced off against Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard, coached by former national player Li Bing, in a friendly match at Huadu Stadium. The result was a 2-0 victory for Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard, breaking their opponent's previous streak of five undefeated games. This was the sixth friendly match for Brazil Sports recently. Prior to this, they had won 6-0 and 3-2 against Shandong Taishan B team, located in the second-tier Chinese league, followed by victories of 3-1 and 4-0 against another newly promoted team in the second-tier league, Shenzhen Youth. They then drew 1-1 with the Super League team Qingdao Hainiu. It is worth noting that the match between Brazil Sports and Qingdao Hainiu took place on the afternoon of January 18th, meaning that Brazil Sports played two high-intensity friendly matches in two consecutive days. After completing a two-week training camp in Meizhou, the Guangzhou team returned to Guangzhou on January 17th. During the training camp, the players maintained good competitive form, with Liang Xueming, Tu Dongxu, and Xia Dalong being selected for the Guangdong team's roster for the first round of the Shenggang Cup football tournament. It is reported that in order to test the recent training results and further evaluate the players, as well as to fine-tune the lineup, Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard plans to play three friendly matches before the Spring Festival. This match against Brazil Sports was the first one. The pace of the game was fast,…

This year, the domestic professional league will see eight teams from Guangdong Province on the field. These eight teams are Meizhou Hakka, Shenzhen New Pengcheng, Foshan Nan Shi, Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard, Shenzhen Youth, Guangdong Mingtu, Guangzhou Dandelion, and Shenzhen 2028. Although Guangzhou Evergrande, which once dominated the football scene in Guangdong, is no longer as glorious as it used to be, Guangdong football as a whole still firmly occupies an important place in Chinese football. The Guangzhou team, which once dominated the Chinese Super League, is now facing the crisis of dissolution due to failing to pass the entry review. This team has won the AFC Champions League twice and the Chinese Super League championship trophy eight times, making it a veritable top club. However, its fate remains uncertain. However, given the current situation, Guangzhou team is not completely hopeless and there is still a possibility of regaining life. They have pinned all their last hope on Guangzhou Dandelion Club. The origin of Guangzhou Dandelion can be traced back to Guangzhou Anhua. Its establishment process is as follows: after the dissolution of Guangzhou City (formerly known as Guangzhou R&F), investor Pan Weisi acquired the related youth teams, thus Guangzhou Dandelion was born. It started its journey from amateur leagues and then worked hard step by step to achieve promotion, successfully entering the China League Two in the 2025 season. When it was confirmed that they could be promoted to League Two, Dandelion also considered acquiring high-quality assets from Guangzhou Club, but at that time, Guangzhou team still had the possibility…

According to well-known media personality, Bi Pao Gang Bei Zhu, the 1.80-meter Turkish Super League guard Russell rejected the contract offer from Zhu Fangyu, and both sides failed to agree on salary terms, which means that Guangdong Men's Basketball's fourth foreign aid has fallen through. Coach Du Feng will be forced to use only the existing three foreign players to finish the second stage. Although Guangdong Men's Basketball is currently on an eight-game winning streak, this is partly due to the strength of their opponents not being particularly strong, and secondly, Xu Jie's wrist injury has not been resolved. Therefore, fans originally hoped that the fourth foreign aid would arrive in time, allowing Xu Jie to get more rest while also accelerating the team's overall integration in preparation for the tough battles in the third stage. The reason why Guangdong Men's Basketball finds it so difficult to introduce small foreign aid is that Zhu Fangyu's recruitment vision has been questioned by fans. He has continuously "opened blind boxes" to reveal abstract players like Barton, Arms, and Les. The team's recruitment funds are limited, and they cannot concentrate all their resources to sign an excellent small foreign player. Instead, they are constantly wasting money. Zhu Fangyu's operations have indeed caused Guangdong fans to be greatly disappointed. Moreover, the recruitment budget that Hongyuan Group can provide Zhu Fangyu each season is fixed before the start of the season. With Morland and Bazley occupying a large amount of salary space, there is not much left for the fourth foreign aid, which is also…

Breaking News! Xu Jie Injured and Hospitalized for Examination, Possibly Missing the Guangdong-Fujian Clash; Fans Blame Zhu Fangyu On January 17th, Beijing time, Xu Jie successfully kept the All-Star MVP in Guangdong, which is certainly worth celebrating. However, behind the MVP title lies a full attendance record of 31 games and the fatigue of playing a full 40 minutes each game. Some fans of the Guangdong team are worried that without someone to share the ball-handling pressure, Xu Jie will eventually get injured if he continues like this. In fact, Xu Jie has indeed encountered injury problems, as some fans discovered him at Jinjiang Hospital in Fujian, waiting in line to register! One fan even approached Xu Jie to inquire about his condition, to which Xu Jie replied that he was at the hospital for a wrist check due to discomfort. As for whether he will participate in the Guangdong-Fujian match on Saturday, Xu Jie said, "We'll have to see how it goes." In reality, Xu Jie has been playing through minor injuries and illnesses. Previously, when he had a fever, he could only force himself to play because he knew that if he didn't, Guangdong might immediately collapse even against the bottom-ranked teams in the league. During the Guangdong-Guangzhou game, after completing a switch layup for a 2+1, Xu Jie collided with Guo Ailun in mid-air and twisted his wrist when landing and being propelled forward by inertia. Xu Jie's wrist had already had some minor issues before, and this collision further aggravated the injury. Some fans also mentioned…

On January 15th, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the list of participating clubs for the 2025 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL) and China League One (CL1). Meizhou Hakka, originally relegated to CL1, will be reinstated into the CSL to participate in the 2025 season. This situation arose primarily because the previous CSL team, Cangzhou Mighty Lions, failed to pass the pre-season entry requirements and has announced its withdrawal from Chinese football, allowing Meizhou Hakka the fortunate opportunity to continue competing in the CSL. In recent years, due to the severe survival conditions of clubs in Chinese football, it has become frequent for previously relegated teams to return to higher leagues. After Cangzhou Mighty Lions confirmed their inability to meet the entry requirements, there were many voices suggesting that Meizhou Hakka would be reinstated to the CSL, and now this has become a reality. Essentially, this is also an inevitable situation. Nowadays, the survival of many teams is at risk, and it is easy for them to disappear with a misstep. However, professional leagues cannot simply reduce the number of participating teams when one withdraws, so it is normal for some teams to be reinstated. Of course, in such circumstances, we must acknowledge Meizhou Hakka's passion for football. There is no need to stand on a pedestal to criticize or attack the attitudes of some clubs, but indeed, in the current environment, it is completely understandable that some teams do not wish to continue participating in professional events. In contrast, Meizhou Hakka has always been actively seeking to…

Big changes have occurred among the players of Guangdong Hongyuan's first team! According to the registration list of the Guangdong team, a total of four players from the first team have been demoted to participate in the CBDL (China Basketball Development League) for the upcoming second stage of the competition. These players are Zhang Mingchi, Li Yizhen, Li Wenhao, and Li Yingbo. However, Zhang Haojia, who participated in the first stage of the CBDL, has managed to escape this fate as he was recalled by Du Feng due to his explosive performance during the first stage. Among these four players, Zhang Mingchi is the most unfortunate. He has played several seasons in the CBA league, but his abilities have not improved much. With Xu Xin recently emerging, Zhang Mingchi has even fewer opportunities to showcase his skills. Now that he has been demoted to the CBDL, it seems Du Feng wants to refine and test him. If he performs as explosively as Zhang Haojia did, he might also be called back. The purpose of Li Yizhen and Li Wenhao participating in the CBDL is clear: they aim to polish their techniques and enhance their abilities. Both of them have limited experience playing in the CBA and require more training. Their shortcomings on the CBA court are quite evident, with insufficient abilities. As for Li Yingbo, it seems he might be abandoned. Having played several seasons without showing any significant improvement, he has recently been sitting on the bench, unable to get any playing time.

In the Guangdong home court, amidst a chorus of boos and shouts of "black whistle," the referees inexplicably awarded Beikong four free throws in the final moments of the game, nearly helping their opponents defeat Guangdong. The most detestable incident occurred when Xu Xin made a shot, and Beikong men's basketball committed a foul. If the referees had made a fair call, the game should have ended much earlier. For three consecutive games, Guangdong men's basketball team has faced controversial refereeing decisions, feeling no sense of fairness in their home court. Even Chen Haitao, the owner of Guangdong, personally intervened during the intense match against Qingdao. However, this had no effect. The referees continued to act as they pleased, with Guangdong being clearly targeted. During the intense battle against Beikong, with only 10.2 seconds remaining, the referees made three consecutive incorrect calls that almost affected the outcome of the game. Xu Jie, with both teams tied at 97, took control of the ball and was pressing time to secure Guangdong's position with a three-pointer. Facing Chen Guohao's defense, Xu Jie missed the shot completely. Under the basket, Xu Xin and Shen Zijie were entangled, with Shen Zijie grabbing Xu Xin's arm. Then Shen Zijie fell, and Guangdong was called for a foul. This free throw was quite fatal; if Shen Zijie had made both shots, Guangdong's mentality would have been completely different. After Shen Zijie missed both free throws, Zhang Fan entered the line early to grab the rebound, which was a clear violation. The referees probably thought two free…

Journalist Guan Xin Says Bizley Has an "Offensive Cleanliness Phobia"! Afraid of Physical Confrontation, But His Dunks Are Truly Explosive A regular-season game for the Guangdong team has been pushed to the peak of discussion due to Bizley's "offensive cleanliness." The team managed to stabilize the situation with a collective effort, but Bizley's performance was both loved and hated. He was "hesitant" when breaking through but "dominant" when dunking, as if he had a "split personality." Such a player, is he the team's "potential stock" or a "hidden danger"? In this game, he not only showed his amazing physical talent but also exposed his shortcomings in tactical understanding, becoming the focus of discussion among fans. This match was a highlight of the CBA regular season, with Guangdong hosting Dongguan at the Guangdong Gymnasium, starting at 8 pm on January 13th. Both teams have performed well this season, with Guangdong gradually regaining their defensive intensity under Du Feng's coaching, while Dongguan is known for their accurate three-point shooting and fast-paced transition offense. The game ended with Guangdong defeating Dongguan 100-92, but the process was full of ups and downs, especially Bizley's performance became the focus of attention. At the beginning of the game, Guangdong sent out their main lineup including Bizley, Yi Jianlian, Zhao Rui, etc., attempting to establish an advantage through strong inside attacks. Dongguan relied on their precise three-point shooting to quickly get into the game. At the end of the first quarter, Guangdong trailed Dongguan 23-26, with Bizley having an impressive dunk but appearing somewhat "detached" for most…

After a five-game winning streak! Guangdong team offers a quote, bets on a 1.8-meter guard, squeezes Xu Jie out, and wins the championship lying down! Is the introduction of new foreign aid by the Guangdong team really a strengthening move, or is it another "risk"? On the CBA court, every recruitment operation touches the hearts of fans, especially traditional giants like Guangdong Hongyuan with a glorious history. At the moment when the team won five consecutive victories and returned to the top eight in the standings, they suddenly announced plans to sign the Turkish Super League point guard Darron Russell. A small guard only 1.8 meters tall is about to take on an important role. This move has left many fans stunned: Is Guangdong pressing the accelerator to enhance its "combat power," or stepping on a landmine of adventure? Xu Jie, the core of Guangdong's backcourt, has performed this season as if he were "tough and silent" - sharp in breakthroughs, stable in passing and control, able to drive the whole team like an engine, and capable of standing up to handle big scenes at critical moments. But people are not made of iron, and this pace of "carrying half the backcourt alone" is truly heart-wrenching. In the past few seasons, he has been almost working non-stop throughout the year, and even injuries have not stopped his desperate efforts on the court. Fans understand that Xu Jie is a "miracle of a small man," but they also worry that if he continues like this, how long can his body hold…
