88-101, Liaoning Men's Basketball lost at home to Guangsha Men's Basketball. The defending champions mainly lost in the third quarter, or rather, lost because of Yang Ming. It was his use of zone defense and letting Zhao Jiwei start that led to being completely overwhelmed by Guangsha on both offense and defense. Using zone defense cultivated Brown's feel for the game, Zhao Jiwei had no offensive presence, no threat at all, it was like playing 4 against 5, how could they not lose? Guangsha is really strong, and what's scary is that they are not even at full strength. If they can stay healthy, they are definitely the most hopeful team to win the championship this year. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game: Liao Media: Liao basketball losing to Guangsha is completely acceptable, but there were also gains. Patton's trial run was a success, at least much stronger than Ture, fully capable of taking on the role of a substitute for Dahan. Congratulations to Coach Wang Bo, with his day-to-day research, he finally found Liaoning's weakness, this victory is well-deserved. The opponent's lineup this season is the most complete, the core is mature, the championship favorite, for many years the regular season has been awkward against this opponent, it's a matter of mutual generation and mutual inhibition. The main problem is offensive efficiency, rebounds and second-chance points are leading, but facing high forwards the offensive efficiency is very low, this is related to the state and the opponent's overall restrictions. Defensively, Brown is very…

In a thrilling CBA regular season match-up, Liaoning Men's Basketball faced off against Guangsha. Liaoning had just defeated Jilin in their previous game and were riding high on momentum, while Guangsha had become the focus of the league with three consecutive victories. The game started with both teams locked in a tight battle, with Liaoning taking the lead after a brief back-and-forth, but Guangsha quickly adjusted, resulting in a close first quarter with a combined score of less than 50 points. The second quarter saw the situation remain deadlocked, with Guangsha holding a slight advantage at halftime. However, the tide turned dramatically in the second half. Guangsha launched a fierce offensive assault, with multiple players contributing, while Liaoning struggled with their attack, plagued by frequent turnovers. By the third quarter, Guangsha had extended their lead to over 20 points. The fourth quarter was all but decided, and Guangsha emerged victorious with a decisive 101:88 win, securing their fourth consecutive victory. For Liaoning, Wells scored the highest with 21 points, Han Dejun contributed 8 points and 9 rebounds, and Li Xiaoxu performed steadily with 12 points and 6 rebounds. However, core guard Zhao Jiwei had a disappointing game, shooting only 1 out of 8 for a total of 5 points and 3 assists, a significant drop from his usual performance. Please pay attention to Zhao Jiwei's offensive play (GIF animation can be seen at the end of the article), where he passed to Fu Hao for an open layup that missed, causing Zhao to stomp his feet in frustration. It must…

On January 6, 2025, the 27th round of the CBA regular season presented a thrilling basketball feast for fans, with the highlight being the Guangdong derby between Guangdong and Shenzhen. The match ended with Guangdong narrowly defeating Shenzhen 91-84, a game filled with drama and suspense throughout. From the start of the game, both teams displayed a strong competitive spirit. Guangdong's foreign player, Jilunwater, started off with a heroic performance, scoring 12 points in just the first quarter, showcasing his powerful scoring ability. However, Shenzhen did not succumb to this pressure, as their bench players performed admirably, with smooth offensive coordination, especially Thompson's dominant performance in the paint, which helped the team end the first quarter with a slight lead of 28-27. In the second quarter, Guangdong's offensive firepower further intensified. Jilunwater continued his excellent form, making a strong 2+1 play under the basket. Following this, guard Xu Jie's outside shooting began to take effect, leading the team on a 10-0 run that forced Shenzhen to call a timeout. However, Guangdong also made some mistakes during this period, with Wang Shaojie and Bazley missing free throws, which was somewhat regrettable. Shenzhen mainly relied on Thompson's efficient play in the paint to maintain the score, trailing by 6 points at halftime with a score of 49-55. The second half saw even more intense competition. Shenzhen faced an unfavorable factor as their main foreign player, Thompson, was plagued by fouls. In this situation, Shenzhen's head coach Zhou Peng took the initiative to step onto the court, demonstrating the responsibility of a veteran.…

CBA Standings Upheaval! Guangsha Triumphs Over Liaoning, Shandong Ranks Third, Guangdong on a Winning Streak, Top Eight Teams Engage in Intense Battles The recent schedule of the CBA league has been very tight, with basically two rounds to be completed every two days, testing the depth of each team's roster. In the 27th round, there were two strong matchups: Shanxi against Xinjiang and Liaoning against Guangsha. Ultimately, Guangsha and Shanxi emerged victorious. The other matches had more obvious disparities in strength between the teams; let's take a look at the specific matchups and results of this round. After this round of games, the CBA standings have seen significant changes. The top-ranked teams have minimal differences in their records, with each win or loss causing noticeable shifts in the rankings. Among the top four, Guangsha defeated Liaoning in this round and continues to lead the standings. Shanxi completed a remarkable 25-point comeback in the final quarter to narrowly defeat Xinjiang, returning to second place. Shandong and Beijing also won their respective matches in this round, both securing 19 victories and ranking third and fourth respectively. Beijing has been performing well recently, achieving a three-game winning streak. However, Chen Yingjun's injury has had a considerable impact, fortunately, they still have the experienced Fang Shuo available, coupled with Zhou Qi's improving form, making the team very competitive. Both Xinjiang and Liaoning lost in this round, causing their rankings to slip. They are now fifth and sixth, dropping out of the top four. Liaoning's form is not ideal, with Zhao Jiwei just returning and…

On January 6th, Beijing time, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team lost to Guangsha at home with a score of 88-101. This defeat put Liaoning in a complex ranking situation. Although Liaoning could still compete with Guangsha in the first half, Guangsha's offensive wave in the third quarter completely broke the game balance, leading by a large margin of 36-14 in a single quarter, eventually dragging the game into garbage time. Although Liaoning slightly narrowed the point difference in the final moments, this defeat exposed many problems, and the pressure on Yang Ming further increased. Two Good News for Liaoning Stable Ranking, Still Hopeful for Second Place Despite the defeat against Guangsha, Liaoning still ranks 6th in the league with an 18-9 record, only one point behind the second-ranked Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. In the upcoming games, as long as Liaoning can maintain stable performance and improve existing issues, they have a good chance to surpass Shanxi and challenge for the second place in the regular season. However, it is almost impossible to surpass Guangsha and seize the top spot at present. Guangsha's overall strength and stability make them look like hot favorites for the championship. Paton's Joining Enhances Team Depth, Foreign Aid Recruitment Shows Initial Results Liaoning's recruitment also showed some positive signs in this game. Paton's joining is undoubtedly an important step for Liaoning to strengthen its lineup. In his debut, although he only played limited time, he made 4 out of 9 shots, contributing 9 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. Paton's athleticism and performance on both…

On January 6th, the CBA league will feature six major battles. From the perspective of competing for the top four spots in the league, aside from the matches between Beikong and Jilin, Shenzhen versus Guangdong (both teams from the same province), and Tianjin hosting Shanghai, which are expected to have minimal impact on the current top four standings, the other three games could significantly influence the upcoming rankings in the CBA league. These include Beijing BAW facing Ningbo away, Liaoning hosting Zhejiang Guangsha, and Shandong High-Speed hosting Tongxi at home. Judging by the overall strength of their opponents, the Shandong team led by coach Qiubiao is the most likely candidate to replace Xinjiang and re-enter the top three of the league. For Beikong, they suffered a one-point defeat in their first encounter with Jilin. Coupled with their current luxurious lineup and consecutive losses, the team is under considerable pressure, especially their head coach Min Lulei, who has faced much criticism. After losing to an undermanned Zhejiang Chouzhou team, Beikong, once hailed as the team with the greatest hope for the top four in the new season, has turned out to be the most disappointing team for fans. Despite having a well-rounded roster with an enviable frontcourt, Beikong struggles to play fluidly against any opponent and finds it hard to decisively win games. The use of players by coach Min has also been questioned, along with the psychological impact of the one-point loss to Jilin in their first match. Whether they can defeat Jilin during the injury period of Liao Sanning…

Liaoning Men's Basketball Team lost at home to Guangsha Men's Basketball Team in a strong matchup. The game was somewhat inexplicable; Liaoning played well in the first half, holding their own against the league leaders. However, unexpectedly, after halftime, they collapsed in the third quarter, losing by 22 points with a score of 36-14, which was unbearable to watch. This directly turned the fourth quarter into garbage time, leaving the home fans speechless and many leaving early. After losing a strong matchup, Liaoning faced three pieces of bad news: Firstly, Zhao Jiwei's state was poor; although his organizational skills were still there, his offense was abysmal. He had a poor shooting performance in the previous game against Jilin, and it was even worse this time, with only 1 out of 8 shots made. Perhaps he should continue playing as a substitute rather than starting. Secondly, Coach Yang Ming lacked good cards and had poor on-site adjustment capabilities. His decision to use zone defense in the third quarter backfired, and he was slow to change strategies. Additionally, he benched the hot-handed Wang Lanqin in the second half and started Zhao Jiwei instead, which were two major blunders that contributed to the team's crushing defeat. The third piece of bad news was the drop in efficiency for Fergie and Wells, with significantly reduced offensive and defensive aggression. They had little impact in the game and were outplayed by Brown, not even performing as well as Wang Lanqin. However, there were also three pieces of good news for Liaoning: Firstly, Wang Lanqin had…

On January 6th, Beijing time, Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered an epic defeat, losing 22 points in one quarter to the Guangsha team, failing to take revenge and being hammered. The new foreign aid didn't help either. Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered a shocking and crazy big defeat. Facing the Guangsha team, they were completely destroyed, especially in the third quarter when they lost 14-36 and 22 points. They really lost their dignity. The new foreign center Patton was useless, and they really couldn't beat their archenemy Zhejiang Guangsha. In recent years, Guangsha and Liaoning can be said to be each other's archenemies. Zhejiang Guangsha always opens fire when they play against Liaoning, hoping to crush them. In this game, both sides played back and forth in the first two quarters, with very close scores. Liaoning only trailed Zhejiang Guangsha by 4 points at that time, and it was uncertain who would win or lose. However, in the third quarter, Liaoning played what could be considered the worst quarter of the season, scoring only 12 points as a team and being brutally beaten 34:12 by Guangsha, instantly widening the point difference to nearly 30 points. It's unbelievable. Liaoning, the champion team with a three-peat dynasty, actually collapsed in one quarter. Do you believe it? At the end of the second quarter, Liaoning had already exposed problems, having difficulty defending against the opponent's foreign aid Brown. Brown went crazy in the third quarter, making shots wildly, various steals and combinations, he and Sun Minghui were humiliating Liaoning. At Liaoning's home court, they directly…

The CBA regular season has become quite unpredictable, with Shanxi losing to Qingdao, Xinjiang rising four places, Beijing defeating Zhejiang, and Liaoning and Guangdong facing tough times. The rankings change daily, leaving fans feeling disoriented. Qingdao's recent performance has been impressive, with foreign players Weatherspoon and Mickey playing like they're on a different level, combining for 71 points and dismantling Shanxi's defense. Wang Ruize is also gaining confidence, as evidenced by his 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. On Shanxi's side, Goodwin and Diawara were active, scoring a total of 70 points, but their frontline was completely dominated by Qingdao's Yang Hanshen. Liu Chuanxing and Faye, their frontline players, only managed to score a few points, which was disappointing. Qingdao played with great form in this match, starting with a fierce attack that opened up a nearly 20-point lead. Although Shanxi managed to catch up later, Qingdao held on to prevent them from overtaking. After this match, Shanxi dropped to third place, which is unfortunate considering they were previously second. This shows how intense the competition in the CBA is this year. Xinjiang's victory over Sichuan was close, but a win is a win, especially since Zhao Rui and Abudu didn't play. Qi Lin put on a career-level performance. Sichuan started well, leading by 11 points in the first quarter, but Xinjiang caught up in the second quarter. Such ups and downs make for a suspenseful game. Six Xinjiang players scored in double figures, showcasing their teamwork. Lawson only scored 10 points but contributed 16 rebounds and 7 assists,…

In a CBA regular season match on January 4th, Beijing time, Guangdong defeated Shandong 98-93 at home. Throughout the game, both sides competed fiercely with the score alternating in the lead. Guangdong had a slight lead in the first quarter, but Shandong overtook and extended their advantage to 5 points in the second quarter. However, Shandong did not celebrate for long as Guangdong caught up again in the third quarter, making it an exciting watch. In the final quarter, Guangdong widened the gap and secured the victory. Xu Jie stood out in this game, scoring 22 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and dishing out 11 assists, earning him the title of "Star of the Game." Gaili from Shandong also scored 22 points. After this game, Guangdong ranked 9th in the standings with a record of 15 wins and 11 losses, while Shandong remained stable at 5th after losing the game, missing the chance to challenge the top 4. Guangdong made many mistakes in this game and only managed to win with the outstanding performance of their three core players. In terms of growth potential, Li Yizhen is considered to have more room than Zhang Wenyi, coupled with his defensive capabilities, Du should give him more opportunities. Zhang Wenyi has performed poorly in two consecutive games; last game, he was intercepted when dribbling past the frontcourt during Xu Jie's rest, and in this game, he missed all five of his three-point attempts. It begs the question, which newcomer would have such an opportunity to waste? Additionally, although Guangdong played better overall than…
