As the second phase of the regular season approaches its end, recent events in the CBA league have become somewhat turbulent. Two conflicts erupted during this round of the regular season. Yesterday, in the match between Liaoning and Zhejiang, some contradictions arose between Yang Ming, Zhao Jiwei, Liaoning team fans, and Zhejiang team fans. Today, after the game between Shanxi and Guangzhou Long Lions, two major conflicts also broke out. It is likely that someone will receive a fine from the CBA company after the game. After Shanxi defeated Guangzhou 124-116, the players did not exchange greetings. Some conflicts occurred between McCaw and Jia Mingru. The referee intervened in time, pushing Jia Mingru back to the bench and waving to the fans to cheer, which was somewhat disrespectful to the Guangzhou team. However, this should not be entirely blamed on Jia Mingru. Let's take a closer look at what happened in the final stages of the game. In the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, Guangzhou was already trailing Shanxi by 10 points and had no chance of a comeback. However, the Guangzhou team did not give up. The whole team continued to maintain defensive intensity and continued to apply full-court pressure on the Shanxi team in an attempt to further reduce the point difference. After Guo Ailun broke through and made two free throws, Shanxi seemed reluctant to attack, but they were still subjected to Guangzhou's continued pressure. Jia Mingru was fouled while being double-teamed by Guangzhou, and at this point, the somewhat annoyed Jia Mingru suddenly walked…

Chinese Men's Basketball is currently experiencing a low point, but a group of young stars are emerging. Xun Si'nan, a 17-year-old player who stands at 2.13 meters tall, has recently excelled in high school competitions and is now under the attention of the Chinese Men's Basketball team. The head coach of the Chinese Men's Basketball team, Guo Shiqiang, is currently in the United States to observe players, and Xun Si'nan is one of his targets. Xun Si'nan possesses excellent physical conditions and athletic talent, and his skills are continuously improving. He has already received offers from several prestigious NCAA schools and is currently rated as a four-star high school student. In the future, he is expected to compete in NCAA games and then aim for the NBA. Xun Si'nan has an arm span of 2.30 meters and is an interior player skilled in defense. He played two seasons at Windermere High School and is currently playing for Georgetown Preparatory High School this season. In a recent high school game, Georgetown Preparatory High School defeated St. Albans High School 81-56, with Xun Si'nan playing 22 minutes, shooting 6 out of 7, making 1 out of 1 three-pointers, and 5 out of 6 free throws, scoring 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 assist, with 1 turnover. In this game, Xun Si'nan had a very high offensive efficiency, scoring a three-pointer shortly after the start. Over the past year, Xun Si'nan has been practicing his three-point shots intensively. During last year's national youth men's basketball training camp, he talked about his plan to…

Last night's CBA regular season featured only two matches: one a battle between strong teams, the other a mismatch in strength. The game between Liaoning and Shanghai was closely contested, with Liaoning eventually securing a narrow three-point victory. In contrast, Xinjiang easily overcame the struggling Jiangsu team, ending their two-game losing streak. In this match, Xinjiang displayed a balanced attack with six players scoring in double figures, dominating Jiangsu throughout and showcasing their offensive prowess. Jiangsu, on the other hand, had only four players reach double figures, leaving the outcome of the game largely without suspense. However, Xinjiang's victory seemed to have little to do with one particular player. Indeed, it was Qi Lin, who has repeatedly faced penalties from the CBA company, that put in a dismal performance last night. Despite playing for 29 minutes, he managed only 1 out of 12 shots, an abysmal display that could be described as nothing short of a shooting disaster. His final stats read 2 points and 1 assist, with a team-low plus-minus of -16. It would not be inaccurate to say that Xinjiang's win had nothing to do with him. Qi Lin's recent form has been abysmal; apart from his poor showing last night, he also struggled in the previous game against Nanjing Tongxi. There, he again missed most of his shots, going 2 out of 10 in 25 minutes, including a mere 1 out of 6 from beyond the arc, scoring just 7 points. His plus-minus in that game was also the lowest on the team at -12. Despite his…

The main event for the Chinese men's basketball team in 2025 is the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup. The third window period of the Asian Cup qualifiers will be held on February 20 and 23, with matches against Japan and Guam respectively. The official tournament dates for the 2025 Men's Basketball Asian Cup are August 5 to 17, and it will be held in Saudi Arabia. It is now mid-January, and the Chinese men's basketball team will reconvene in February to prepare for the Asian qualifiers after the New Year. The men's basketball roster will also be announced soon, but this time it is different from previous rosters because three national players have been ruled out due to injuries and will not be able to participate in the Asian qualifiers. They are Zhang Zhenlin, Hu Mingxuan, and Jiao Boqiao. Zhang Zhenlin and Hu Mingxuan have suffered a recurrence of old injuries, while Jiao Boqiao has a confirmed ligament tear. Whether he undergoes surgery or not is yet to be determined, but regardless, he will miss the February Asian qualifiers. Therefore, Coach Guo Shiqiang has no choice but to look for new talent. He has even gone to the United States to observe new stars such as Zhao Weilun, Wang Junjie, and Xun Sannan. The purpose is clear; Guo Shiqiang wants to cultivate them for the future. Although these individuals are the hope for the future of the men's basketball team, they cannot solve the urgent needs of the team. Coach Guo Shiqiang's main priority now is to find players who…

"Coach, I can still play, give me a chance!" In the early hours of the morning at the Los Angeles gymnasium, Cui Yongxi's eyes were filled with tears as he confided his NBA dreams to Guo Shiqiang. This scene marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Chinese men's basketball team. On his chilly trip to the United States, Guo Shiqiang carried a heavy list in his heart. As the newly appointed head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he was well aware of the weight of his responsibilities. On the courts of the NBA Development League, young Chinese players were chasing their own basketball dreams. Cui Yongxi experienced the ups and downs of the Nets' development league, Zhao Weilun fought hard in the G League, and the young Chinese-American guard Zhu Zheng displayed his astonishing talent. Behind each story, there was a tale of sweat and perseverance. The gymnasium was quiet under the night sky, with only the sound of basketballs hitting the floor echoing through the silence. Guo Shiqiang stood on the sidelines, watching intently as Cui Yongxi trained alone on the court. This former head coach who had once made waves in the CBA was now planning a new blueprint for the future of Chinese men's basketball. During his time in the United States, Guo Shiqiang visited multiple cities and met with several overseas players, including Cui Yongxi and Zhao Weilun. Each conversation and observation gave him a clearer understanding of the future of Chinese basketball. Especially the young Zhu Zheng, this Chinese-American guard who…

"Another Chinese player's name has appeared on the NBA layoff list. Can he get back up?" Cui Yongxi, a young player with high hopes, had to say goodbye to the season early due to a ligament injury at the beginning of the season, and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, announced the layoff of this promising Chinese star. This series of blows pushed the 20-year-old to a crossroads in life. Ligament repair? Possibility of returning to the NBA? Or return to the domestic league and start over? The answers to these questions are destined not to be easy, but every step of Cui Yongxi is related to the future of Chinese basketball. Before Cui Yongxi, many Chinese basketball players have set foot on the "basketball holy land" of the NBA. Yao Ming is one of the benchmark figures, but after him, there were few successes. Zhou Qi is the best example. This player, once hailed as "the new hope of Chinese basketball," was also highly anticipated when he entered the NBA Houston Rockets. However, he failed to deliver impressive performances in limited playing time, coupled with a mismatch with the team's tactical style, and eventually had to return to the CBA for development. Cui Yongxi's story seems somewhat similar to Zhou Qi's. His playing time with the Nets was also very limited, and just as people expected him to fight for more opportunities to perform, an unexpected ligament injury disrupted all plans. The injury itself is already painful enough, followed by being laid off, which is a cold reality that pours…

Older basketball fans will likely recognize the name Ding Jinhui. This former Zhejiang Chouzhou men's basketball player, known for his relentless spirit, stands just over 2 meters tall but has made a significant impact in the CBA league with his positivity and keen sense for rebounds. He has also been selected for the national team on multiple occasions. However, since Ding Jinhui's time, there have been few forwards around 2 meters tall who have managed to make a name for themselves in the league. The most recent example might be Zhang Chunjun, who followed Sichuan Men's Basketball to victory. This season, Li Xiangbo, a second-round pick by Guangzhou Men's Basketball in the draft, has emerged as a gem, reminiscent of both Ding Jinhui and Zhang Chunjun. Due to the departure of several key players from Guangzhou this season, Li Xiangbo, who previously played as a mainstay for many years with Anhui Wenyi in the NBL, has received ample trust from Guangzhou head coach Mitchell upon his arrival in the CBA. He had already scored over 20 points in a single game during the first stage of the season. As he adapted to the intensity of CBA games in the second stage, Li Xiangbo achieved his first double-double in a match against Shanghai. In the latest round, he helped Guangzhou defeat Jiangsu, ending an 11-game losing streak. With Jiao Boqiao injured, Li Xiangbo played a crucial role in securing the victory. Facing Jiangsu's foreign player Thompson, Li Xiangbo did not show any fear and instead delivered an outstanding performance. Starting the…

"Return to China, Cui Yongxi Makes a Choice, Officially Announces His Decision, Destination Revealed, Guo Shiqiang Anticipates"

In the CBA regular season, Ningbo Men's Basketball hosted Guangzhou Men's Basketball. After four quarters of regular play, Ningbo successfully defeated Guangzhou with a score of 92-85. In terms of data, the rebound count for Ningbo and Guangzhou was 42-49, assists were 27-25, turnovers were 13-21, two-point shots made were 31-34, and three-point shots made were 8-9.

In terms of player performance, Ningbo Men's Basketball foreign aid March scored the highest points for the team with 24 points. The second and third highest scorers were foreign aid Matiang with 20 points and Howard with 14 points respectively. The highest domestic scorer was Wang Zirui, who scored 13 points with 9 rebounds and 9 assists on 9 shots and 4 makes. There are good performances, naturally there are bad ones. In comparison, the worst performing player on the Ningbo team must be forward Ning Hongyu. In this game, although Ning Hongyu only played for 15 minutes and 22 seconds, his total number of shots ranked second among domestic players, with a total of 7 attempts. The domestic player with the most shots was Wang Zirui, with a total of 9 attempts. Throughout the game, Ning Hongyu shot 0 out of 7, including 0 out of 4 from three-point range, with both two-point and three-point shooting percentages at 0%. He only contributed 2 rebounds and 1 steal to the team, and also made a low-level mistake. To be fair, his performance in this game was indeed…
