James Weber, the fourth foreign player eagerly anticipated by Liaoning basketball fans, has officially arrived in Shenyang. Upon stepping off the plane, he was warmly welcomed by many fans. Seeing so many enthusiastic fans, James Weber was delighted and kept waving to greet them. The Liaoning Basketball Club sent representatives to present him with flowers, welcoming him to the Liaoning family. Standing at an impressive height of 2.06 meters and weighing 92 kilograms, James Weber is quite tall and slender, making him stand out in a crowd. He pulled his suitcase towards the fans, appearing very friendly and continuously accommodating requests for autographs and photos. He seems like a cheerful and sunny young man, which fits well with the spirit of Liaoning. This season, Liaoning's recruitment has been less than smooth. They have successively cut both Achuer and Sayok, neither of whom fit the team's characteristics. Achuer struggled to hold his position in the paint due to his thin physique and lack of shooting from beyond the three-point line. On the other hand, Sayok is not the type of foreign player who excels at strong attacking; it's too difficult for him to handle the ball, but he is suitable for playing without the ball and taking shots at the right moments. The decision to bring in Wells proved to be the right one, especially in the victories against Xinjiang and Guangdong. It was precisely Wells' efficient performance that ultimately secured those wins. The introduction of the big foreign player Ture was the least successful; he was cut after just a…

Translation of the content: This season has indeed seen significant changes in the CBA landscape, especially after the foreign players' quota was changed to seven per game across four quarters, severely compressing the playing time for domestic players. Many players who previously had decent stats on the court now hardly get to play at all, such as Zhao Lüzhou from Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, who had hoped to make a big splash but ended up in a worse situation than before. Zhao Lüzhou has played a fair number of games this season, participating in 14 matches, but averaging only 5.4 minutes per game, scoring just 1.6 points and grabbing 0.8 rebounds, essentially becoming an expendable player. During his peak with the Jiangsu team, Zhao Lüzhou averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game, earning him recognition as an absolute mainstay and gaining the approval of then head coach Li Nan. The problem is that Zhao Lüzhou signed a long-term contract with Liaoning this time around; he returned at the beginning of the year with a three-year C-class contract. Even after two seasons, there will still be two years left. Given the current trend in the CBA, it seems unlikely that he will be able to contribute much to Liaoning in the future. Zhao Lüzhou was originally cultivated by Liaoning, but it's slightly regrettable that, as a small forward, he stands less than 2 meters tall and isn't particularly outstanding defensively. At the time, Guo Shiqiang favored Cong Mingchen, and with He Tianju and Liu Zhixuan also on the…

On January 10th, Beijing time, Liaoning crushed Beikong, and Fugue finally had a shocking outburst, feeling the huge pressure of the arrival of the new foreign aid, no longer pretending, laying all cards on the table. The game between Liaoning and Beikong was very interesting because just before the game, Liaoning received a new message that their new foreign aid had arrived in force, and Yang Ming no longer had to complain about the foreign aid not being good enough. This time, the foreign aid's name is James-Weber, and Liaoning didn't even try him out, but signed a guaranteed contract directly. Moreover, Yang Ming also blew up Weber, saying that he would bring great help to the team, so Liaoning's four super foreign aids were successfully assembled. However, this also put a lot of pressure on Fugue, because after all, Weber is also a forward foreign aid, and his scoring ability is very strong. If he comes over, Fugue's ball rights will definitely be affected. Paton is okay because Liaoning has always been short of inside players, and this inside foreign aid is also supposed to alternate with Han Dejun, so there's no problem. Wells has already brought a lot of pressure to Liaoning's meritorious foreign aid Fugue because of his low salary and good performance, but he can still accept it. However, with the arrival of the new foreign aid, Fugue is under even more pressure. In this game, after being stimulated, Fugue also had a shocking outbreak, scoring 41 points in 33 minutes, more than his playing time,…

Liaoning Bensteel lost to Zhejiang Guangsha 88-101 in the 27th round, trailing by as many as 26 points in the first three quarters of this strong matchup. In this game, Wang Lanchen made 2 out of 3 three-pointers for 8 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals; Zhao Jiwei made 1 out of 8 shots, including 1 out of 6 three-pointers for 5 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, and 5 turnovers; Yan Shouqi made 1 out of 5 shots, including 0 out of 3 three-pointers for 3 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 steals. Zhao Jiwei's throat injury has not yet fully recovered, but his competitive level is expected to improve, and the team still relies on him for organization, with improvements anticipated in the future. Wang Lanchen is still adapting after Zhao Jiwei's return, and how to distribute ball possession remains a tactical challenge for coach Yang Ming. Yan Shouqi had low offensive efficiency and many turnovers, but his defensive level is strong, necessitating reorganization in the use of the three guards by coach Yang Ming. In this game, Fredette was very sluggish, making only 2 out of 7 shots, including 0 out of 2 three-pointers for 8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 turnovers. Fredette was very strong in the first stage of the season, but recently suffered from illness and personal stamina issues. Wells has been in a slump after being tightly guarded in recent games, scoring 6 points in the first quarter and 7 points in the second quarter, with Liaoning…

Great news! The new foreign player for the Liaoning basketball team, James Webb III, has arrived and is ready to play once his registration is complete. As the fourth foreign player for Liaoning, he arrived at 1 AM and reported to the team to complete formalities after less than six hours of sleep. If all goes well, his debut with Liaoning is just around the corner. On January 10th, James Webb III arrived at Shenyang Taoxian Airport at 1 AM. Despite the late hour, the airport was still bustling with activity as planes landed and passengers made their way through the terminal. Webb III stood out in the crowd, exuding a unique presence that is characteristic of basketball players' vitality and passion. Upon arrival, Webb III appeared tired but his eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation. He is about to embark on a new journey, joining a team with a glorious history and passionate fans in the CBA. After a brief rest at the airport, he couldn't wait to get up and go through the necessary procedures with the club. The early morning streets of Shenyang were still cool, but Webb III had no time to dwell on this. Filled with love for his new team and a desire to play, he hurried to the club under the guidance of staff. There, a series of formalities awaited him, each step requiring meticulous attention. Signing his name on the documents felt like writing the opening chapter of his intertwined destiny with Liaoning. However, this was not the end. According to regulations,…

On January 10th, Beijing time, it was unprecedented to see Yang Ming's sullen face after winning, as if he had lost. He directly criticized the team on the spot, which was really anger. The match between Liaoning and Beikong was extremely dramatic. Liaoning won at home with a narrow victory of 3 points, but in fact, they didn't have to play so dangerously, and the gap didn't have to be so small. In the last 5 minutes of the last quarter, Liaoning played one of the ugliest performances this season, which is why Yang Ming was sullen after the game, even though he won, his expression was as if he had lost. He was really angry and very dissatisfied. Let's first look at what Yang Ming said in the post-match interview. He directly criticized his team on the sidelines, saying that even if they have new foreign aid now, and even if the personnel are complete, everyone must not be arrogant: "I don't know where the arrogance of the players comes from. Although we won the game, I am very dissatisfied." The implication is that they were too arrogant, thinking that they could win steadily and looking down upon their opponents, being too arrogant, and once paid the price for it. During the post-match interview, Yang Ming's face did not show a trace of smile, and his expression was very ugly. Why was this? Let's turn back the clock to when there were still 5 minutes and 30 seconds left. At that time, Zhao Jiwei made a three-pointer, leading 102:84…

The CBA Shanghai team has entered a rampage mode in the second stage, sweeping opponents with 14 consecutive victories.

Translation of the article content into English: The CBA 2024-2025 season is already halfway through, with most teams having played 28 rounds and 18 rounds remaining until the end of the regular season. The ranking rules for the CBA standings are based on points, with one point for a loss and two points for a win. Therefore, many teams may have more losses but rank higher due to playing more games. So, you don't need to worry about the current rankings; just look at the number of losses to make predictions. Zhejiang Guangsha (currently ranked first) Currently has 4 losses, leading the second place by 2 wins. Guangsha still has 18 rounds of matches, although there are many strong opponents. However, given the team's performance this season, it is unlikely that Guangsha will lose many more games. Even if they lose four more games, it won't affect their final ranking as first. Shanxi Fenjiu (currently ranked second) Currently has 6 losses, leading the next team by 1 win. In the upcoming schedule, Shanxi will play two more games against Guangsha, and both sides will engage in fierce competition. However, Guangsha has an advantage with a two-win lead. Xinjiang Guanghui (currently ranked fourth) Currently has 7 losses, leading the next team by 1 win. Xinjiang's remaining schedule doesn't have too many strong opponents. However, their away record is inconsistent, making it difficult for them to challenge the top two spots. Liaoning Bensteel (currently ranked third) Currently has 9 losses, which should put them around sixth place in reality, leading ninth-placed Guangdong…

The CBA regular season has reached its 28th round, with Guangsha's reversal of Beijing, Guangdong's double-killing of Tianjin, Xinjiang's big win over Tongxi, Qingdao's victory over Shenzhen, Liaoning's victory over Sichuan, and Shanghai's big win over Beikong, which has taken 14 consecutive victories. The CBA rankings have been in chaos again overnight. Guangsha has consolidated its top position, Liaoning and Xinjiang have returned to the top four, Beijing has fallen to seventh, Guangdong remains unchanged, and Shanghai is unstoppable, with an actual ranking of 10th. It's really a mixed bag of joy and sorrow for some teams, while the last eight teams have suffered consecutive defeats and are unable to turn the tide. Let's take a look at the following: Liaoning and Xinjiang return to the top four Last night, Liaoning faced Sichuan in a match that all media and fans believed Liaoning would win. After a stalemate in the first quarter, Liaoning started to exert itself in the second quarter, leading by 7 points at halftime. Liaoning maintained control of the game thereafter, suppressing several counterattacks from Sichuan. In the fourth quarter, Liaoning launched a 31-19 offensive wave, eventually winning 115-99. In this game, Liaoning's Ferg burst onto the scene with 31 points and 9 rebounds, new aid Patton took 16 points and 5 rebounds, Zhao Jiwei scored 9 points and 11 assists, Daheng scored 8 points and 7 rebounds, and Si Jie Samuna scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in vain. With this victory, Liaoning's record came to 19 wins and 9 losses, rising three places…
