Zhejiang Chouzhou's championship aspirations have once again been hindered by issues with their foreign players, as Simmons opts for indefinite rest. Zhejiang Chouzhou has had the potential to win championships since Liu Weiwei led them to the semi-finals. After his departure, Wang Shilong also brought the team to the finals. However, the team has consistently suffered setbacks due to poor choices in foreign players. Last season, Gali was unable to play in the playoffs due to injury, which was later rumored to be related to salary issues. This season, the team secured four foreign players early: Bass, Jones, York, and Simmons. All four players had good chemistry with the team and performed well. Unexpectedly, Zhejiang Chouzhou used a loophole in the league rules to cut Simmons, who had been performing well, only to re-sign him later. This move backfired, as Simmons has not played for the team since being re-registered. It was initially speculated that his absence might be due to emotional distress, but with Bass also being cut, it became clear that Simmons was indeed affected emotionally and seemed reluctant to play for the team. Zhejiang Chouzhou once reached second place in the league, but recent injuries have led to consecutive losses against Shenzhen, Beijing BAW, and even the bottom-ranked Jiangsu team. The team recently found some confidence after victories over Ningbo and Beijing BAW, but then suffered two more defeats. They were leading in a provincial derby match but were dramatically overtaken by Zhejiang Guangsha, and they also lost away to Shandong. These defeats are somewhat justifiable given…

On January 13th, the CBA official website showed that Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu cancelled the registration of foreign player Paris Bass. The four foreign players of Zhejiang men's basketball team are generally good, including Kobe Simmons, Gabriel York, Damian Jones, and Paris Bass, with balanced scoring and no low-level foreign players. Zhejiang's domestic players are also not bad; last season, they ranked third in the standings with a record of 41 wins and 11 losses. This season, affected by injuries, they have been fluctuating between third and eighth place. Zhejiang head coach Wang Shilong has always emphasized offense and teamwork, with the team averaging 113.3 points per game, ranking second in the league, and 27.5 assists per game, ranking third in the league. Paris Bass has had excellent statistics this season, averaging 17.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He is the second-highest scorer and the top rebounder for the team. His partnership with Yu Jiaho in the frontcourt is highly trusted by Wang Shilong. In the match between Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu and Zhejiang Fangxingdu, Yu Jiaho and Cheng Shaipeng have recovered from their injuries and entered the 12-man roster, while Wu Qian is still recuperating. The Zhejiang derby is highly anticipated, with Wang Shilong and Wang Bo facing off. Guangsha, on the other hand, is well-staffed, and Boban's addition has made their frontline tall and deep. It's unclear why Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu would cut Paris Bass, a super foreign player who provides significant help to the team's frontcourt. He recently took leave due to the birth…

Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team is truly in a huge predicament this season. From their ranking to injuries and the departure of foreign aid, it's all become quite disheartening. Take a look at their current league standing; they've dropped to eighth place, with 18 wins and 9 losses in 28 games, which is a "barely acceptable" record. However, the recent three consecutive defeats have caused concern. What's more critical is that the team's main players are being overwhelmed by injuries. Wu Qian, Cheng Shuaipeng, and Yu Jiahao, any one of them can play a crucial role in the game, but the health issues of these three key players have almost pushed Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team to the brink. Injuries are truly the team's nemesis. It feels like every time Wu Qian and Cheng Shuaipeng play, they are the driving force of Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team. Now that they're absent, the team seems to lack its soul. Speaking of foreign aid, Kobe Simmons' departure is even more astonishing. This guy played a total of 17 games this season, averaging 28 minutes per game. Although his performance did not reach an "explosive" level, his average of 17.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists is still commendable. However, he failed to bring significant change to Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team. With a shooting percentage of 43.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.1%, he could still make 1.8 three-pointers per game, which seems somewhat "reliable." The team decided to release him, leaving Simmons somewhat puzzled. Some netizens commented, "Although Simmons has good statistics, he hasn't…

In the last game, Liaoning narrowly defeated Beikong 104-101, but Yang Ming was not satisfied with the performance. In the final moments of the fourth quarter, Beikong launched a series of offensive surges, while Liaoning struggled to score after reaching 104 points. If it weren't for the lack of time at the end, the outcome could have been different. After the game, Yang Ming vented his anger in the locker room. Indeed, the players on the court relaxed in the last four minutes, causing a drop in morale. This allowed Beikong to regain their spirit and quickly close the gap in the score. Yang Ming expressed his dissatisfaction with the game, especially with the team's performance in the crucial moments. It is worth noting that Zou Yuchen suffered a left knee injury while defending against Patton in the second quarter, which led to him being unable to continue playing. After leaving the court, he needed two teammates to help him walk and was taken away by an ambulance for examination. It appears to be quite serious, considering Zou Yuchen's previous history of injuries and his tall stature. On the afternoon of January 11th, the entire Liaoning team flew from Shenyang Taoxian Airport to Qingdao Jiaodong Airport to participate in an away game against Qingdao. Weber followed the team to Qingdao and has now successfully registered. Qingdao has a record of 19 wins and 10 losses, while Liaoning has 20 wins and 9 losses. The records of both teams are close, making this match very important for both sides, as it…

In the 27th round of the second stage of this season's CBA regular season, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team faced off against Tianjin Men's Basketball Team in a fiery match. Despite Tianjin putting significant pressure on Guangdong in the latter stages of the game and even reducing the point difference to single digits at one point, Guangdong ultimately secured a victory with a score of 120-111, thanks to the outstanding performances of Xu Jie, Jerian Grant, and Morand. This win marked their fourth consecutive victory, while Tianjin suffered their sixth consecutive loss. However, this match also revealed some issues within the Guangdong team. Their main guard, Xu Jie, showed signs of physical exhaustion on the court, indicating that Guangdong urgently needs to introduce a suitable ball-handling foreign player to truly resolve their offensive difficulties. Coincidentally, Zhejiang recently announced the cancellation of the registration of their foreign player, Kobe Simmons, which could be a positive signal for Guangdong. Originally, both Guangdong and Zhejiang had shown keen interest in Daejon Davis, who previously played for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves. However, Davis' three-point shooting percentage in the development league is less than 30%, leading many fans to hold reservations about him. If Zhejiang were to choose him, Guangdong might have to give up on this option. After all, Davis' current form does not entirely align with the type of foreign player Guangdong requires, and this season is not the best time for Guangdong to make a championship push. If Zhejiang signs Davis, they would be giving up the possibility of signing Kobe Simmons, which…

Over the past few seasons, the strength of the Zhejiang duo has been evident to everyone, with both teams having reached the finals. This season, both Zhejiang and Guangsha have shown excellent judgment in selecting foreign players. However, while Guangsha is currently making significant reinforcements (having already signed Brown, Carlton, Knight, Boban, and recently acquired Nanali), Zhejiang, after finally finding a player who fits the team perfectly in Kobe Simmons, has now decided to cut him for cost-saving purposes. The CBA official recently updated the foreign player registration information, and Zhejiang has cancelled the registration of Kobe Simmons. It is reported that Simmons' two-month guaranteed contract expired on the 8th, and if he was not cut, his contract would become fully guaranteed for the season. After consulting with the players, the coaching staff ultimately chose to part with him reluctantly. They are currently looking for other foreign guards and have already offered a deal to Daishen Nix. Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team, which entered the finals two years ago, still has considerable competitiveness this season. In terms of domestic lineup, they have a group of talented players such as Yu Jiahao, Wu Qian, Cheng Shaipeng, Lu Wenbo, and Liu Zeyi. As for foreign players, York, Jones, Bass, and the departed Kobe Simmons could all be used as core foreign players in other mid-to-lower tier teams. In the 17 games played for Zhejiang, Simmons averaged 17.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 28.2 minutes per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 34.1%, ranking second in scoring for the team. Bass,…

In the arena of the CBA league, the replacement of foreign players has seemingly become a norm. However, a recent decision by the Zhejiang men's basketball team has sparked widespread attention and discussion. This team, which has previously excelled in selecting foreign players, suddenly announced the release of their outstanding foreign player, Kobe Simmons, surprising many fans and industry insiders. In this season, Simmons' performance was remarkable, averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists per game in his 17 appearances, with a three-point shooting percentage of 34%. These statistics not only made him an important member of the Zhejiang team but also established his place among the foreign players in the CBA. However, as the team suffered consecutive losses, especially after being defeated by the Jiangsu men's basketball team away from home, the team's management clearly expressed strong dissatisfaction with the current performance. The impact of injuries is undoubtedly a significant reason for the team's defeats, with key players such as Wu Qian, Cheng Shuaipeng, and Yu Jiaho getting injured, and Bass returning home due to family reasons. The accumulation of these factors dealt a severe blow to the team's combat effectiveness. Faced with such difficulties, the decision to cut Simmons has drawn particular attention. The issue of foreign player salaries has also been brought to the agenda, with the team perhaps considering that Simmons' cost-effectiveness is not high, especially given the team's overall poor form at present. In the CBA foreign player market, excellent foreign players are not common, and Simmons' abilities have made many teams envious of…
