In the CBA regular season, Liaoning lost to Beijing 90-105 as an away team. After the game, Yang Ming stated: "From the perspective of the schedule, our lineup finds it challenging to cope with high-intensity games. Beijing had all their players available, which made it difficult for us to sustain until the final moments. We will seriously analyze and rectify the current situation of the team." Such remarks still emphasize the issues of an incomplete roster and fatigue. After all, they have already been significantly worn down by continuous encounters with strong opponents. Especially the two veterans, Wells, and Ferguson, who have not fully recovered their form, this naturally hinders their performance against Beijing. However, even in defeat, both fans and coaches can accept the outcome. After the game, Yang Ming also responded to the reason for Patton's absence: "There are some issues with Patton's clearance letter at the moment, and the team is actively working on it. Please wait a bit longer, fans! According to regulations, he should have been able to play in tonight's game. Unfortunately, due to problems with the clearance letter, he could not be registered, leaving Liaoning helpless. If he had played today, he could have at least provided some pressure for Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu. After all, they have been very tired recently, and by the third quarter, they were already exhausted." Meanwhile, judging from today's training session, Patton still possesses some shooting ability, as evidenced by his continuous successful shots throughout the process. If he can demonstrate such offensive output, coupled with…

Liaoning Team Officially Announces the Addition of Justin Patton, Who Will Represent Liaoning in the CBA. Justin Patton, who has played in the NBA and was selected by the Timberwolves in the first round as the 16th pick, has played for several NBA teams including the Timberwolves, 76ers, Thunder, and Rockets. He plays as a center, standing at 211cm tall and weighing 109KG. It is understood that he had a brief stint with Shanxi before being cut by them. On the defensive end, whether it's rim protection, perimeter screening, or pick-and-roll defense, he possesses the potential of a star player. He is a typical "dunking" type of player. In summary, a good foreign aid not only has excellent individual abilities and problem-solving skills but also needs to integrate into the entire team and bring positive energy, which is the most critical factor. Liaoning is a championship team, and we believe they will make good use of their new foreign aid to alleviate pressure and burdens for Fugge. Looking forward to seeing more outstanding performances from the strictly selected foreign aid!

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team lost to Liaoning Men's Basketball Team in the Liaoning-Guangdong battle. After the game, the team reporter Guan Xin reviewed the game and summarized the reasons for the loss. In addition, Guan Xin also revealed that the new small foreign aid Les signed by Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has a big problem with his attitude and refuses to play for the team again. In the game against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, although Guangdong Men's Basketball Team registered for Les, he did not come to the venue, and there were actually only 11 people on the list of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. After Guan Xin revealed this news, Les' approach aroused the attention of many Guangdong fans. Les joined Guangdong Men's Basketball Team on December 24. Although he is not a very capable foreign aid, Du Feng's purpose of signing him is also very clear, that is, to win enough rest time for Xu Jie in every game. However, since joining Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, Les has never had the opportunity to play, and he has only played two games in total, adding up to only six minutes. It is reported that because of this, Les is dissatisfied with Du Feng and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, and refuses to play for the team again. On this point, Du Feng's approach does have some problems. Even if Les is not strong, since he chose to sign him, he should give him a chance, even if it is garbage time to let him run around and find a feeling. But…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the "New Year's Day Clash" of the CBA officially kicked off. It must be said that the arrangement of the CBA company for this New Year's Day Clash was quite successful. The three matches between Xinjiang and Shandong, Beijing and Liaoning, as well as Guangdong and Tianjin all went down to the wire, and each produced various "memorable moments." In the home game against Shandong, Xinjiang's Zhao Rui shouted at the referee for ignoring the opponent's foul, was penalized for a technical foul, and then directly pushed the referee with his hands. The referee ejected Zhao Rui from the game. That wasn't the end of it; after the game, Zhao Rui unleashed a barrage of criticism on Xinjiang fans on social media, which was astonishing to behold. Beijing completed a double-kill against Liaoning at home, with the crowd chanting "Yang Ming step down" and "Give me back Allen." Guangdong fought Tianjin until the last minute, and after the game, news broke that Hongyuan had decided to replace their small foreign player, cutting the current small foreign player Les. Zhao Rui's explosive temper is something many Guangdong fans are familiar with. In the last two seasons with Guangdong, Zhao Rui often self-destructed, harming both himself and the team. In the match between Xinjiang and Shandong, Zhao Rui, dissatisfied with the referee's call, pushed the referee with his hands after the referee had already given him a technical foul warning. The referee immediately penalized Zhao Rui for disqualification and ejected him from the game. Zhao Rui really…

At 10 AM, Yang Ming Confirms Patton Won't Play! Big Foreigner Showcases New Skills, Reassuring Fans, Live on CCTV5 Beijing time at 10 am on January 1st, Liaoning basketball team's head coach Yang Ming confirmed in an interview that Patton will not play in the game against Beijing Shougang. The reason is that he has not yet completed registration. Due to the New Year's Day holiday, the registration has been postponed, and it is certain that he will not be able to play in this game against Beijing Shougang.‌ Regarding his initial impression of Patton, Yang Ming said that it was also the first time he had met Patton, and he wasn't sure who was stronger or weaker compared to Ture. He would observe more in the next few days of training.‌ Yes, although Patton played for Shanxi last season, he only played four games, which is too small a sample size to make a judgment.‌ However, Patton played against Beijing Shougang last season and scored 2 points and 8 rebounds while playing against the twin towers of Fan Ziming and Qiu Tian, but he only played for 11 minutes. This shows that Patton at that time was really good at grabbing rebounds.‌ After more than a year, when we see Patton again, we find that he has developed new skills in mid-range shooting and long-range shooting. Through Liaoning's training sessions, we can see that Patton, who is still adjusting to the time difference, although not in his best physical condition, has a pretty high mid-range and three-point shooting percentage.…

The CBA regular season continues, with two of the most exciting games being Beijing's 105-90 victory over Liaoning and Shandong's narrow 111-107 win against Xinjiang. In the game between Beijing and Liaoning, the match lost suspense by the middle of the fourth quarter, prompting Yang Ming to replace Wells with a full Chinese lineup to train young players. Meanwhile, in the match between Xinjiang and Shandong, both teams fought until the last second, with Shandong ultimately securing the victory thanks to crucial three-pointers from Yu Dehao and Moore, overcoming Xinjiang's formidable home court. On the leaderboard, Guangsha maintains its top position with 21 wins and 4 losses. Guangsha's signing of Boban Marjanovic has made their lineup incredibly strong, with almost no weaknesses. Shanxi, with 19 wins and 5 losses, ranks second, making them the biggest dark horse this season, as they have never achieved second place in previous seasons. After defeating Xinjiang Yili, Shandong High-Speed has climbed to third place. Zhejiang Chouzhou has the same record as Shandong, but due to Shandong's victory in their head-to-head match, Shandong is ranked ahead of Zhejiang, placing them fourth. Teams ranked fifth to eighth are Liaoning, Xinjiang, Beijing, and Qingdao respectively. Liaoning's performance has been inconsistent due to injuries to Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, as well as difficulties with their foreign players, leaving them temporarily in fifth place. Ranked ninth to twelfth are Guangdong, Beikong, Tongxi, and Shanghai. Guangdong narrowly defeated Tianjin 110-103, while Shanghai has achieved an 11-game winning streak, reaching the threshold for the playoffs. This streak has been particularly…

Currently, Liaoning fans are most concerned about two things: one is the condition of the big foreign aid Patton, when will he play, and how strong is his ability. The second is the injuries of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin. Patton has been training with the team in Beijing, mainly focusing on shooting, as he just arrived and needs to adjust to the time difference. Before the game between Liaoning and Shougang, Yang Ming stated that Patton would not participate in this match. It can be confirmed that Patton is stronger than Ture. Judging from his shooting feel for three-pointers, with a record of 6 out of 6, he definitely has a good shot. Combined with his NBA experience, he won't be too bad. Last season, he hurriedly played in the CBA, although he was just a passer-by, but his characteristics were still shown, which is a significant role in defense and actively grabbing rebounds. Patton doesn't need to score explosively in Liaoning, because there are Foger and Wells for scoring. What he needs to do is to grab more rebounds and provide more rebound security for the team. Zhang Zhenlin's injury is to the soft tissue around the right hip joint and the gluteus maximus, which requires time to rest. Because he has many new and old injuries, he needs to thoroughly recover before playing again. The team needs Zhang Zhenlin to save energy for the playoffs. Zhao Jiwei's injury is still serious, and he has to go to the hospital for treatment every day. It's not just a…

Beijing-Liaoning Clash! In the first round, Beijing broke through Liaoning's home court with a narrow one-point victory. This time, back on their own turf, they aim to complete a double kill. Liaoning sent out 11 players, united in spirit, hoping to regain their footing. In the first half, Beijing led Liaoning 50-41 by 9 points! Both sides struggled with their three-point shooting, but Beijing had an advantage in physical fitness and lineup, which allowed them to play with more vigor, dominate rebounds, and create more second-chance opportunities, leading to more shots and thus securing the lead. Liaoning was physically exhausted and had too few players capable of playing at a high level, making them very passive. Fortunately, Ferguson recovered, otherwise the gap would have been even greater. Statistics: Lei Meng 8 points, Zhou Qi 5 points 6 rebounds, Chen Yingjun 8 points 2 assists, Omore 6 points 2 assists, Solomon 4 points 7 rebounds, Zeng Fanbo 4 points 4 rebounds 4 assists, Zhang Cairen 7 points 2 rebounds, Zhai Xiaochuan 4 points; Ferguson 17 points 2 rebounds, Wang Lanqin 3 points 3 rebounds 2 steals, Wells 10 points 2 rebounds 3 assists, Fu Hao 10 points 3 rebounds. In the second half, both sides fought fiercely, with a tight and intense battle. With 4 minutes and 41 seconds remaining, Chen Yingjun sprained his ankle and had to leave the game, with Wang Lanqin suspected of stepping on his foot. Without Chen Yingjun, Beijing's rhythm became disorganized, allowing Liaoning to seize the opportunity and close the gap. Zeng Fanbo made one…

CBA regular season, a strong dialogue between Liaoning men's basketball team and Beijing men's basketball team. Although Liaoning team is full of injuries, the team's state is very good, very united, and has won four consecutive victories by defeating strong opponents.
