A "Key Ball" Mistake - Tong Jiajun's Career Dilemma and CBA's Deep Thoughts Why can a player's two mistakes change the direction of the entire game on the CBA court? Especially at such a crucial moment when Guangzhou team's Tong Jiajun committed two 24-second violations in a row, not only did he become the target of criticism, but he also gave Guangdong team the opportunity to turn the tide. Was this an accidental mistake or another "undercover" strategy? And as Du Feng's nephew, how should Tong Jiajun's performance be interpreted? Behind this game, it reflects not only the gap in competitive level but also some deeper workplace and psychological issues. The CBA match on January 16, 2025, between Guangzhou and Guangdong teams, should have been a tense and exciting game where both sides could show their strengths. However, at the end of the game, Tong Jiajun's two 24-second violations turned the situation around. Imagine that the game was in the fourth quarter, and Guangzhou team was originally leading. But in the critical 3 minutes and 19 seconds, Tong Jiajun made two 24-second violations one after another. This kind of mistake not only left people speechless but also made them stare in amazement. When the first mistake happened, Tong Jiajun received a pass from his teammate but hesitated to shoot when facing the defense, eventually wasting the offensive time. Then, in less than a minute, he again failed to seize the opportunity to attack after receiving the ball, resulting in another 24-second violation. Even worse, immediately afterwards, Jilunwater completed a block…

With the toll of the bell marking the arrival of 2025, Guangdong football once again finds itself in the spotlight. The failure of Cangzhou Lions to pass the league entry review has paved the way for Meizhou Hakka to return to the Chinese Super League as a replacement. At the same time, Shenzhen Youth has successfully advanced to the China League One, adding another spark to the prosperity of Guangdong football. This year, eight teams from Guangdong Province will compete in domestic professional leagues, despite the fading of former powerhouse Guangzhou Evergrande. However, the vitality and competitiveness of Guangdong football remain undiminished. Guangzhou Team, which has twice won the AFC Champions League and claimed the Chinese Super League title eight times, faces the crisis of dissolution due to its failure to pass the entry review. Yet, amidst despair, a glimmer of hope for rebirth quietly emerges. Guangzhou Dandelion Club, a rising star in the China League Two, has now become the last straw for Guangzhou Team to pin its hopes on. The predecessor of Guangzhou Dandelion Club was Guangzhou Anhua, established by investor Pan Weisi after acquiring the youth team following the dissolution of Guangzhou City (formerly Guangzhou R&F). Starting from amateur leagues, it has steadily climbed to the China League Two, demonstrating its tenacity and potential. After securing promotion to the China League Two, Dandelion considered acquiring high-quality assets from Guangzhou Team but held off due to the possibility of Guangzhou Team passing the entry review at that time. Now, with Guangzhou Team on the brink of dissolution, cooperation…

Today's CBA regular season saw Xinjiang defeat Guangzhou 116:97. Firstly, Xinjiang men's basketball team indeed needs to strengthen anger management. Over the past month, Xinjiang has been struggling, from the extreme use of home court advantage to Qi Lin's repeated defiance, and Zhao Rui's desperate attempt, Xinjiang players bizarrely and with high difficulty stood against both national fans and CBA referees. Qi Lin's fiery temper is partly due to the straightforward nature of a Beijing man, and partly because the vast land of Xinjiang turned him into an untamed wild horse. From Xinjiang men's basketball team's decisive withdrawal from the CBA, it can be seen that this team fundamentally disregards rules. The subsequent return and the now taciturn support for Xinjiang resulted in Xinjiang players subconsciously seeing themselves as above the law. Last season, Huang Rongqi was fined to the point of almost selling his car to make ends meet. Many Xinjiang fans with a persecution complex believed it was the backlash of CBA referees, but in fact, professional players being passionate is not a problem; Xinjiang players need to understand the boundaries of language and actions and learn to respect rules. Facing what they perceive as biased refereeing, burning oneself to illuminate the world is actually not worth it. This is truly turning one's own pain into the source of others' art. Indulging in temporary verbal pleasure may lead to lifelong regret. These words, which are heart-wrenching, harsh, yet true, might cause many Xinjiang fans to vent their emotions or even launch a barrage of criticism after being concerned…

After entering 2025, both the Chinese men's and women's football teams organized their first training sessions of the new year. The men's team trained in Haikou, Hainan, with head coach Ivan leading the preparations for this year's top 18 matches. The women's team, under the leadership of head coach Milicic, conducted winter training in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. During the training period, the women's team played a friendly match against the players from Evergrande Football School, which they lost. With a score of 2-5, the Chinese women's football team suffered their first loss of the year, defeated by the Evergrande U15 boys' team, and recorded five losses out of nine matches since Shui Qingxia's departure. On January 18th, during the match between the Chinese women's football team and the Evergrande U15 team, Wu Haiyan served as the team captain and started the game. The Chinese women's team initially took control of the game's rhythm, with Shao Ziqin and Yuan Cong scoring goals to give them a 2-0 lead in the first half. However, problems arose in the team's defense later in the game, allowing Evergrande to equalize the score in the first half. In the second half, Evergrande scored three more goals to secure the victory. In this training session, the Chinese women's football team had a total of 26 players on the roster, none of whom were overseas players. Wang Shuang, Li Mengwen, Shen Mengyu, and other overseas players did not participate in the training. The roster included goalkeepers Xu Huan, Peng Shimeng, and Pan Hongyan, eight defenders including Chen Qiaozhu,…

On January 18, 2025, Guangzhou Long Lions visited Xinjiang Team. After a long siege, Guangzhou Team found their rhythm with Zhao Rui's three-point shot, hitting all four attempts before finally giving up resistance and losing to Xinjiang Team with a score of 97-117. This was the second game back for Guo Ailun after his return, coming off the bench to play 26 minutes, scoring 6 points and 2 rebounds, while also contributing the second-highest number of assists in the game with 8. It is worth noting that compared to the first game back against Guangdong Team when he scored no points and had not fully recovered from his health concerns, fearing another injury and not daring to exert himself fully, Guo Ailun, despite missing several shots in this game, let go of his psychological reservations and increased the frequency of his breakthroughs and attacks on the basket. However, it was precisely because Guo Ailun only managed to score a meager 6 points that more malicious and mocking comments appeared in the live broadcast chat, such as "Guo 0 points," "Shisanling," and even those who praised Xu Jie to belittle Guo Ailun, saying that Guo Ailun's era has ended and now it is Xu Jie's time. Of course, I am not saying that Xu Jie is not good. To be honest, I also admire Xu Jie very much. I have repeatedly expressed in my works that Xu Jie is the soul figure of the Guangdong Team. With his excellent passing vision, keen rebounding ability, and precise shooting skills, Xu Jie can…

Translation of the article content into English: In the 31st round of the CBA, the Guangdong derby was a focal match. The game was full of twists and turns, with the Guangdong team losing initially but eventually winning a comeback victory. In terms of star matchups, Guo Ailun had 0 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds, while Xu Jie had 18 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds. After 31 rounds, the latest CBA standings are as follows: Guo Ailun going to Guangzhou is a win-win-win situation. Looking at the latest standings, it becomes clear that at the beginning of the season, Liaoning Men's Basketball made an absolute win-win-win choice by allowing Guo Ailun to go to Guangzhou through a trade. Firstly, for Liaoning Men's Basketball, this move met the demand for immediate combat power from a championship team, optimized the team structure, promoted the transfer of ball rights to Zhang Zhenlin on the front line, and难得地提升了球队的年轻化，当然也释放了部分薪资空间。为本赛季争冠卫冕注入了新鲜血液。 Judging from Wang Lanqin's performance, he has been a very capable substitute for Zhao Jiwei! Considering that this season's foreign players are limited to 7 per game in 4 quarters, the offensive gap left by Guo Ailun's transfer can be filled by Wells and Fugge. Currently, Liaoning ranks 5th in the standings, tied with Qingdao in 4th place, which is strategically successful! Once Zhang Zhenlin returns, the foundation for contending for the championship is still the strongest in the CBA. Secondly, for Guo Ailun, joining Guangzhou also brings many benefits. He can fully recover from his injuries, allowing his long-standing injuries to heal, leverage…

Li Xingxian and He Chao join Henan team, both having previously played for Guangzhou team. Guangzhou team's youth training school has been established for more than ten years, cultivating a large number of outstanding young players who can not only stand firm in professional leagues but also enter national teams to win glory for the country. It is worth mentioning that Li Xingxian entered Guangzhou team's first team at the age of 15 and was also selected into U13 national youth teams and other national teams. On the other hand, the "24-hour legacy team" of the eight-time champion mentioned by media people has not yet arrived, as if the team was "stealing peaches," and fans were deceived. He Chao joined Guangzhou team in 2019 and won the 2019 Chinese Super League championship with the team Guangzhou Evergrande. In the second leg of the 2020 Chinese Super League final, he was sent off with a red card due to a rash foul, and Guangzhou team lost to Jiangsu Suning with one less player. He transferred to Henan team in the 2025 season, along with Li Xingxian, a player from Guangzhou team's youth training. As we all know, Guangzhou team established its own football school in 2012, which has "bloomed and fruited" after more than ten years of development. For example, Guangzhou team used a large number of graduates from the football school to participate in the China League One in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. From the first season's relegation four rounds in advance to the second season's runner-up in the…
