In the last round of the league, Shandong Men's Basketball Team defeated Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team. Although they maintained an advantage in the score throughout the game, the process was not easy. The efficient performance of Jiangsu's Jackson and Goodwin kept the home team, Shandong, on their toes, with the game remaining tense until the final minutes before a definitive conclusion was reached. Throughout the match, Coach Qiu Biao repeatedly emphasized the importance of "respecting the opponent," both during halftime and after the game. He stressed that teams should not judge their opponents based solely on rankings. Currently, there is no clear distinction between strong and weak teams in the league, especially under the 4-quarter, 7-foreign player policy, where anything can happen in a game. A team may dominate the entire match, but a few lapses in concentration could lead to being caught up or even overtaken by the opponent. Shandong Men's Basketball Team will soon face another opponent, Ningbo Men's Basketball Team! Traditionally, Ningbo Men's Basketball Team is considered a bottom-feeder in the league. However, this season, Ningbo has transformed from its previous slump, surpassing teams like Sichuan, Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Fujian in terms of performance. Did you read that correctly? It includes Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team. In the last round, Shandong struggled against Jiangsu, so they have even less reason to underestimate the stronger Ningbo team. In the last round, Ningbo played fiercely against Tianjin Men's Basketball Team away from home, with the game remaining close until the very end. With only 34 seconds left, Tianjin led by…

Translation of the article content into English: Beijing time on January 20, 2025, the second day of the 33rd round of the 2024-2025 season CBA regular season will continue. In the four games that have ended in the first day of the 33rd round, Beikong defeated Shenzhen 112-102, Shandong won Jiangsu 102-86, Tianjin narrowly beat Ningbo 120-115, and Liaoning lost to Zhejiang 88-101. After these four games, the latest standings have also been released. Shandong remains firmly in second place. In the 33rd round, Shandong faced weak opponent Jiangsu. The shooting percentage of both teams was indeed high in the first quarter, with Shandong establishing a 3-point lead at 32-29. In the second quarter, although the offensive firepower of both sides decreased, Shandong still won the quarter by 18-15, extending their halftime lead to 6 points. In the third quarter, Jiangsu's resistance was not as effective, and they were outscored by Shandong 16-24, adding another 8 points to Shandong's lead. In the fourth quarter, despite Jiangsu not giving up, Shandong's double-digit lead was enough to secure the victory. Ultimately, Shandong won 102-86 over Jiangsu, maintaining their position at 23 wins and 10 losses, ranking second in the standings. Zhejiang defeats Liaoning to maintain fourth place, while Liaoning suffers a crushing defeat and ranks fifth. The most focused game of the 33rd round was undoubtedly the battle between Zhejiang and Liaoning for positioning. At halftime, the defending champions were leading Zhejiang 49-47 by 2 points. However, after the break, Zhejiang launched a defensive counterattack against Liaoning. In the third quarter, Zhejiang…

Last night, the 33rd round of the CBA regular season was completed, and the rankings on the leaderboard have become chaotic once again! Shandong men's basketball team defeated Jiangsu, rising to second place in the league, closely following the first-ranked Zhejiang Guangsha. Shandong men's basketball team, like Shanxi, lost the title of the dark horse this season. Under the leadership of Qiu Biao, the team has undergone significant changes, with a renewed overall temperament and spirit on the court. This season's Shandong team is expected to be able to enter the top 4. Liaoning had a fierce battle with Zhejiang, but ultimately suffered a heavy defeat by 13 points, causing them to drop out of the top four and now ranking fifth. Liaoning's overall performance in the second stage has not been as good as in the first stage, with their weaknesses gradually surfacing. Zhao Jiwei, who returned from injury, still hasn't regained his form, and tonight he continued to struggle, unable to score offensively and making many mistakes, which was a key factor in the team's loss. Tomorrow night, Guangdong will face Nanjing, and after achieving a 9-game winning streak, their ranking will be the same as Liaoning's. Liaoning's next game against the league leader Guangsha is expected to result in another loss, with their ranking likely to fall further. The rankings on the leaderboard are changing daily, with the exception of the league leader Zhejiang Guangsha, who maintains a clear lead. Currently, it seems that no other team can shake their position, and Guangsha has already secured their…

Refuse to be upset! Shandong 102-86 Jiangsu Who is the "biggest hero" of this game? The data doesn't lie On January 19th, Beijing time, the 33rd round of the CBA regular season saw Shandong Men's Basketball Team host Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team. The two teams met for the first time this season, with Shandong already securing an opening victory. In the previous match, Shandong lost to Nanjing due to Chris' suspension. Tonight, returning home, Shandong Men's Basketball Team had only one goal: to double-kill their opponents and end their losing streak. Below is a summary of the game and the latest ranking on the points table, but it was confirmed before the game that Chris would still be absent. The starting lineup for Shandong tonight is Gao Shiyan, Moore, Kumajie, Guo Kai, Xie Zhijie, while the starting lineup for Jiangsu is Cui Xiaolong, Liu Zexi, Jackson, Thompson, Li Chengyao. Due to Chris' absence, the starting lineup for Shandong has also been adjusted. In the first quarter, Moore teamed up with Gao Shiyan to explode at the beginning, with Shandong stopping Jiangsu with a 15-8 run. The game continued with Gaili coming off the bench, and Shandong once established a double-digit lead. However, in the closing stages of the quarter, Jiangsu continuously scored points, and with Chen Peidong's three-pointer, Shandong led by 3 points into the second quarter. In the second quarter, Jiangsu started with a 4-2 run, and Shandong immediately called a timeout. Both sides then entered a tug-of-war with a tight score, and the half ended with Shandong leading…

With a high-paying B-class contract from Liaoning Basketball, he has only made a few appearances this season and hasn't even made it into the 12-man squad in recent rounds of games. Although the season is not yet over, it is estimated that he will definitely leave during the next offseason. When he returned to Liaoning Basketball from Jiangsu Basketball, many fans were still expecting him to strengthen Liaoning's last link, which was three-point shooting. However, after a season, not only did the fans not see the three-point shots they wanted to see, but they also rarely saw him on the court. After new recruit Weber joined the team, he made it into Liaoning's 12-man squad in the first game, while Zhao Lüzhou was removed from the squad by Yang Ming. He was very hopeful when he first came back, after all, he had some outstanding performances in Jiangsu and he is a local player. But indeed, there is no place for him in a championship-level team, or rather, it's quite awkward in Liaoning's current system. It's not suitable to let him go to a weaker team, and it's actually a waste of his career to stay in Liaoning. The No. 3 position is currently having a big impact on Liaoning. Liaoning didn't have Zhang Zhenlin back then, at the peak of Hardson, at the peak of Guo Ailun, and mature Zhao Jiwei could only win one championship, with Gao Shiyan as a substitute. These four are already considered the top configuration of the so-called three guards, but it still doesn't…

Ending the Losing Streak! Xinjiang Defeats Jiangsu 92-82 - Who is the "Biggest Hero" of the Game? The Data Speaks for Itself On January 14th, Beijing time, the 26th round of the CBA regular season saw Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team challenge Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team away. This was the third meeting between the two teams this season, with Xinjiang winning both previous encounters. However, Xinjiang had just suffered two consecutive losses before the game, making tonight an opportunity for them to fight against their opponents and stop their decline. Prior to the game, the star guard Zhao Rui returned from suspension, undoubtedly adding depth to Xinjiang's rotation lineup. In this game, Jiangsu only held out for two quarters before Xinjiang locked in the victory in the second half. The final score was Xinjiang 92-82 Jiangsu, ending their own two-game losing streak. Xinjiang's starting lineup for the night was Qi Lin, Li Yanzhe, Xierzati, Lawson, and Hagens, while Jiangsu's starting lineup was Wu Yujia, Goodwin, Jackson, Li Chengyao, and Ma Guodong. Although Zhao Rui returned for this game, he still came off the bench, with Xinjiang's starting lineup remaining the usual configuration. In the first quarter, after Lawson hit a three-pointer, Jiangsu's small foreign aid Jackson scored five points in a row. However, with Zhao Rui's substitution, Xinjiang turned the situation around, with Zhao Rui scoring eight points alone to lead the team back into the lead. At the end of the first quarter, Xinjiang led by seven points. In the second quarter, Xinjiang started with a 9-3 run to force…

The CBA career of Cui Xiaolong has been full of ups and downs from the start. He was selected by the Jiangsu men's basketball team at a young age, and it was Li Nan, the coach at the time, who pushed for this draft pick. To be honest, Cui Xiaolong's entry into the CBA was not smooth sailing, with his state always somewhat fluctuating. As we all know, CBA games are not as simple as we might imagine; they are fiercely competitive and high-pressure, especially for a young player. Whether he can quickly adapt to the game rhythm and find his position directly affects his professional prospects. Cui Xiaolong is not an ordinary player. Although his initial performance was somewhat unstable, he successfully entered the national team, especially during Guo Shiqiang's coaching period, when he also made it onto the Chinese men's basketball team roster. This achievement is something to be proud of for any young player. In recent seasons, however, Cui Xiaolong's performance seems to have faltered, with frequent mistakes that have even led some to label him a "problem player." In one game, his average number of turnovers was as high as 2.7, which is quite a headache. What is most surprising is that since December 25, 2024, Cui Xiaolong seems to have "disappeared," at least in the sense that his name is no longer visible on the 12-man list of the Jiangsu men's basketball team, and there are even rumors that he has left the team. It's not surprising that people are paying attention, given that Cui…

This season, the CBA league has increased the turnover of foreign players, allowing teams to register up to 4 foreign players and changing the foreign player rule to 4 quarters with 7 rotations. Teams have started an arms race, introducing capable foreign players, including those who have played in the NBA, European leagues, and development leagues. Up to now, a total of 36 foreign players have been cut, mostly due to unsuitability for their respective teams, and a few due to injuries. The regular season has only completed 30 rounds, with 16 more to go. It is expected that more foreign players will be cut in the future, while new ones will also join. Recently, Jiangsu Kedeya canceled the registration of foreign player Tequiven Smith, and Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu canceled the registration of foreign player Paris Bass. Jiangsu team currently has three foreign players: Jackson, Goodwin, and Thompson. Goodwin is the core of the team, and Smith, who only played 10 games for the team, averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals per game, which are the statistics of a super foreign player. He can score, grab rebounds, assist teammates, and fight for the ball to win offensive opportunities for the team. Jiangsu's record is 5 wins and 25 losses, making it unlikely for them to advance to the playoffs. Yi Li is still focusing on training young players. Tonight, they face the strong Xinjiang team, where their provincial brothers, Tongxi, have already defeated Xinjiang. Let's see how Yi Li deploys his troops and how they will…

The highly anticipated second stage of the CBA regular season has seen continuous battles, with recent news about the Shanghai men's basketball team's efforts to challenge the defending champion Liaoning team drawing attention from fans. Ahead of the home game against the Jiangsu team in this round, it was revealed that Shanghai's main player Li Tianrong would be unable to play due to injury issues, and foreign aid Lofton might also not participate due to knee discomfort in the previous game. As a result, many fans predict that Shanghai is essentially resting its main players to gain an advantage in the next game against the defending champion Liaoning team. After all, although Shanghai has achieved an impressive 15-game winning streak, the Jiangsu team is unlikely to make a comeback on the road, but Liaoning is undoubtedly an opponent that Lu Wei cannot ignore. Previously, the defending champion Liaoning team's main forward Zhang Zhenlin continued to be absent, but after the arrival of Patton and James-Webber, Yang Ming already had the capital to compete with all the championship contenders. For Shanghai, only with a full lineup and full energy can they have a chance to defeat Liaoning. Li Tianrong, who just won the best player of the round, is an indispensable core for Shanghai. Once Li Tianrong takes a break, Shanghai will completely lack a strong point. At that time, Shanghai may even face the risk of losing at home to the Jiangsu team. Of course, if the Jiangsu team can give Shanghai a huge impact, then Lofton, whose participation is…
