Recently, during a match between Guangdong Hongyuan and Shandong High-Speed teams, an astonishing scene unfolded. It is common knowledge that in the final moments of the fourth quarter, every team would strive to secure victory. However, both Guangdong's head coach Du Feng and Shandong's head coach Qiu Biao seemed uninterested in winning. Specifically, with just over two minutes left in the game, most believed that Guangdong, leading by 9 points, would easily win. But Guangdong suddenly lost their rhythm, as if they had become a different team. Xu Jie was intercepted by Yu Dehao, reducing the lead to 5 points. Mordand also made a passing error, followed by Zhang Haojia, who could have secured a stable three-pointer but instead stepped on the line and shot a long two-pointer. Shandong's response was equally interesting. Qiu Biao replaced the best-performing Gali with Chris, who missed an easy layup after Mordand's mistake, which could have narrowed the gap and potentially won the game for Shandong. This strange scenario where neither team wanted to score or win suggests something amiss with both Guangdong and Shandong. However, I suspect that behind this lies Du Feng and Qiu Biao's grand strategy for their teams' future. Considering the players' usual stability, their performance in this game suggests more than simple mistakes. This reminds me of a classic line from the 1979 Soviet film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," where the beautiful Liu Jia asks her colleague why generals' wives are old and ugly, to which the colleague replies that one must marry a lieutenant and endure…

In a road game against Qingdao, Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered a crushing defeat by 17 points, but what is even more concerning is that the team only scored 79 points, far below their average of 111.9 points in the first seven games of the season. The reasons for Liaoning's loss in this game can be summarized into two points: Firstly, the engine on the perimeter has stalled. Zhao Jiwei's absence due to injury has left Liaoning without the brain of their team operations. Wang Lanqin, the newly introduced player, is a decent player at the No. 1 position, but it is clear that he has not yet fully integrated into the team system and there is some gap between his abilities and Zhao Jiwei's. Without Zhao Jiwei, Fredette had to take on both the scoring role and the organization, which led to him being physically exhausted in the fourth quarter and unable to lead the team to catch up. Compared to the dilemma of foreign players, Liaoning's hidden worries in the paint cannot be ignored either. Han Dejun was suppressed by Yang Hanshen of Qingdao in the paint, which was also one of the main reasons for Liaoning's loss. In the first match of the season between the two teams, Han Dejun contributed 20 points and 9 rebounds, while Yang Hanshen only got 6 points and 7 rebounds, completely suppressing Yang Hanshen on both offense and defense. However, as the game progressed, 38-year-old Han Dejun's physical fitness became critical. He could no longer provide enough support for the team's paint…

According to foreign player agent Dong Hao, after the departure of Les, Guangdong men's basketball team is trying out the fourth foreign aid, which is Bart, a 1.97-meter dribbling forward. Bart previously played for Guangxi Weizhuang in the NBL and once scored 44 points in a single game. Although his ability has some gaps with the peak period of Weems, it is more in line with Du Feng's tactics of launching an attack from the forward. Before Les tried out for a week, he was only given 5 minutes of playing time after signing, so Guangdong fans are wary of the club's tryout. Moreover, what the team urgently needs now is a foreign guard with hard-solving ability, not a forward foreign aid. Xu Jie playing more than 40 minutes per game is not a long-term solution. Guards such as Zhang Wenyi and Yang Yi either have poor ball control skills or are too short and easy to be targeted. Therefore, it is urgent to introduce foreign guards to share the pressure on Xu Jie. Besides, the forward line has already given Bazley a full guarantee contract. Adding another forward foreign aid will overlap their positions, not only wasting resources but also failing to solve the shortcomings. After completing the relevant registration procedures, Liaoning men's basketball team's new aid Justin Patton will make his debut in the match against Zhejiang Guangsha. Although he has been training with the team for a few days, it is recommended that Liaoning fans do not pin too much hope on Patton. Although everyone hopes that…

After dropping out of the top four in the previous round, Xinjiang men's basketball returned this round and is now ranked second. Shanxi men's basketball dropped to third after losing this round. Liaoning men's basketball, like Xinjiang, returned to the top four after this round, ranking fourth with a record of 18 wins and 8 losses. Shandong men's basketball and Zhejiang men's basketball, which were previously ranked third and fourth, respectively, both fell one place in the rankings after losing to Guangdong men's basketball and Beijing men's basketball in this round, now ranking fifth and sixth, respectively. Beijing men's basketball and Qingdao men's basketball have both achieved two consecutive victories recently, barely keeping up with the teams ahead in terms of performance, currently ranking seventh and eighth, respectively.
