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…

Liaoning defeated Xinjiang 115-89, with Xinjiang losing to their opponent from last year's finals after consecutive victories against strong opponents. Liaoning's performance was led by Foger with 13 points, Wells with 50 points, Han Dejun with 11 points and 13 rebounds, and Wang Lanqin with 20 points. On the Xinjiang side, Lawson scored 13 points and 12 rebounds, Li Yanzhe had 9 points, Ilyfut scored 13 points and 8 rebounds, and Peterson had 7 points. After the absence of Zhao Rui and Qi Lin, Xinjiang lacked a stable scoring point domestically. While the team's three foreign players can play their roles in team basketball, they lack someone who can provide a decisive solution when needed. Initially, Xinjiang planned for Peterson to be the player who could deliver in critical moments. However, halfway through the season, Peterson's strengths and weaknesses are clear; he only has the ability to force shots, which is limited by his height, making it uncertain whether they will go in. Additionally, due to physical conditions, his breakthrough effectiveness is average, especially when referees do not call fouls, he often argues with them, disrupting his own mentality. This game showed Xinjiang what true decisive ability looks like, with Wells scoring 50 points throughout the match, while Xinjiang's three foreign players only managed 27 points, half of what Liaoning's Wells achieved. Unlike half a month ago when Wells broke through Xinjiang's defense effortlessly at home, this game he relied on shooting to defeat Xinjiang. Xinjiang's concept of team basketball is good; if everything goes according to plan, they can…

Guo Ailun's top salary is now being scolded by fans, defense becomes a decoration, Liaoning Basketball team's biggest water goods? After Guo Ailun left, the Liaoning Basketball Club gave him the top salary. However, after returning from the national team, his performance was exceptionally poor. In a situation where the team was short of players due to illness, he continued to perform poorly. At critical moments, Yang Ming could only rely on two veterans within the team, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu. For Fu Hao, mediocre performance in the regular season seems to have become commonplace. During the offseason, Fu Hao received the Class D top salary contract left by Guo Ailun after his departure. Liaoning also hoped that Fu Hao would continue his excellent performance from last season's playoffs. However, this season, Fu Hao still struggled. After returning from the national team, it's unclear what happened with Fu Hao. Giving him the top salary was meant to be an incentive for him as a pillar player. But now, they still have to rely on the two veterans. In the game against Beijing, whether it was frontcourt and backcourt rebounds or one-on-one defense, Fu Hao was basically unable to stop his opponents from scoring. Fu Hao defends very hard, but the problem is with his ability, not his attitude. He moves slowly laterally. Being short, light in weight, he can't defend against fast or strong opponents. Furthermore, there are offensive issues. Fu Hao is a very standard self-initiated offensive player. Looking at his early years in Bayi, he always played…

It was assumed that after a three-game losing streak, Liaoning team would bounce back with a victory against Fujian and, with their morale boosted, would easily defeat Guangzhou, a lower-tier team in the league, even without extensive rotation. However, Liaoning struggled throughout the game, with the score difference hovering around single digits. Consequently, Coach Yang Ming hesitated to bring on Zhao Lüzhou and Zhang Junhao, sticking to a seven-man rotation. Despite brief appearances by Yu Zechen, Li Huyi, and Zhang Chenzhifeng, Liaoning still relied on the individual prowess of 33-year-old foreign player Wells and 38-year-old veteran Han Dejun to secure a narrow victory over Guangzhou with two free throws in the last nine seconds of the final quarter. But can such an extreme approach sustain Liaoning's chances for revenge against Xinjiang upon returning home? Guangzhou has proven to be a formidable opponent this season, despite their overall record and ranking lagging behind Liaoning. As reigning champions, Liaoning had previously double-killed Guangzhou, boasting superior individual skills, lineup configuration, and psychological advantage. It was expected that after receiving criticism for only giving Wang Lanchen one minute of playtime against Fujian, Coach Yang would make significant changes to avoid overworking key players. However, with the departure of big foreign player Tu Lei and the recent return from injury of Zhang Chenzhifeng, the veterans were already exhausted. Ideally, core players should not exceed 30 minutes of play to maintain energy for the upcoming match against a spirited Xinjiang team. Yet, only Wang Lanchen played nearly 31 minutes, a decision made due to the unavailability…
