Does a victory truly prove that one team is stronger than the other? In the match between Liaoning and Beikong men's basketball teams, Liaoning seemed to have defended their home court with a 104-101 victory. However, issues with refereeing, the absence of Zhang Zhenlin, and the underwhelming performance of supporting players revealed several concerning situations. On the other hand, Beikong's resilience turned the game from "no suspense" to "full of suspense." Is this a battle of strength or fate? Perhaps, the answer is not straightforward. Have you ever watched a game where the players pour sweat and fight to the extreme, yet the referee's decisions seem to be the main attraction? The matchup between Liaoning and Beikong was just like that. Beikong's foreign player Salinge stood on the free-throw line 23 times, more than Liaoning's entire team. This statistic makes people frown, making them wonder if the protagonist of the game is the two teams' players or the referee's whistle? Of course, the referees did not intend to favor anyone, but this free-throw disparity indeed made the game "complicated." It must be acknowledged that Beikong's bold and aggressive style did create more opportunities to attack the basket, and Liaoning's frequent fouls due to defensive mispositioning are also facts. However, when the game is filled with such controversies, any dramatic scene can easily put the referees in the limelight. Fans may all have the same question—Is such a standard reasonable? Interestingly, this situation seems not to be accidental. Liaoning has already felt "passive" due to refereeing issues more than once this…

After suffering a home defeat against Zhejiang Guangsha, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has faced several championship contenders this season, including Shanxi Fenjiu, Xinjiang Guanghui, Beijing Shougang, and Zhejiang Guangsha, ultimately ending in defeat against all of them. This poor situation has made the management realize the severity of the title defense this season. Therefore, after signing Justin Patton, Liaoning did not stop their pursuit of reinforcements. They have just signed James Webb III, a top-tier stretch four player, who has already set off for Shenyang. However, this is not the last signing of the season for Liaoning, as the management is working on bringing in a fifth foreign player, which could potentially cause a seismic shift in the CBA landscape! According to American media reports, the NBA's Toronto Raptors have officially parted ways with their frontcourt player Bruno Fernando, making him an unrestricted free agent. Currently, multiple CBA clubs and Turkish league teams have extended offers to Bruno Fernando. There are rumors that Liaoning is also among the suitors for this beast-level interior player. If they can secure his services, it would directly enhance Liaoning's overall strength. The 26-year-old Fernando is an extremely explosive interior player with a physique. Despite being only 208 cm tall, Fernando weighs 108 kg. Last season with the Atlanta Hawks, he averaged 6.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game. However, after transferring to the Raptors this season, Fernando's playing opportunities were very limited. He was at a disadvantage in the competition with players like Poeltl, Boucher, and Olynyk, ultimately leading to his release.…

In the recently concluded women's volleyball playoff match, Beijing Volleyball Team suffered a 1-3 defeat against Liaoning Volleyball Team, marking their third consecutive loss in the playoffs, leaving their chances of reaching the top four in a precarious position! During this game, Beijing Volleyball Team struggled significantly without Wang Mengjie, as their back-row defense was notably weaker. They lacked a strong serving rotation, unable to break Liaoning's first pass, and had no stable powerful attacking point, making it very difficult for them to play effectively! Moreover, Liaoning's paper strength is stronger than Beijing's, and Beijing's head coach Chu Hui's command was a complete mess. In the previous home game, they were reversed by Shandong, yet insisted on playing Wang Mengjie against Tianjin, resulting in a recurrence of her waist injury. In this game, Chu Hui's command was also poor: he disrupted the rhythm by changing the starting lineup every set, digging a hole at the beginning, so what's the advantage of that foreign aid that even the Korean league doesn't want over Wu Lin? Furthermore, Chu Hui's substitutions were chaotic and lacked rhythm. It felt like Cai Yitong, the second setter, was in better form today and had better coordination with the new outside hitter foreign aid, but in the third set, he sent back Zou Jiaqi as the starter. Both teams had three foreign aids, and today it was obvious that Zhao Yong's guidance was superior to Chu Hui's, with more rhythmic substitutions and timeouts! The edge attackers of both teams were quite average in this game, lacking absolute…

Guangdong tries out a 1.97-meter forward, Liaoning's new signing arrives! Shanghai offers for Knicks, Guo Ailun returns After securing a three-game winning streak, Coach Du Feng can finally breathe a sigh of relief. However, the Guangdong Southern Tigers are still severely affected by the flu, with key players like Xu Jie and Huang Rongqi showing signs of improvement but still lacking energy. It is reported that the Guangdong team is currently trialing a 1.97-meter forward named Bart, who is known as a scoring force on the wing for Guangxi Weizhuang and has a playing style similar to that of former player Yi Jianlian. If Bart impresses Coach Du Feng, contract details will be discussed between the two parties. Since the departure of the Yi-Jianlian duo, Guangdong has been searching for suitable replacements in the transfer market, but finding championship-caliber players has proven challenging. The implementation of the new foreign player policy, allowing seven foreign player appearances across four quarters, has led to significant investment from CBA teams in foreign talent acquisition. This makes it even more difficult for Guangdong, which traditionally operates within its means, to find satisfactory candidates in the player market. Fans hope that the club will consider foreign players with prior experience in China and give more opportunities to young domestic players. According to Liaoning media, Liaoning Flying Leopards' new signing, Webber III, has arrived in the country. As a tall, ball-handling forward, Webber III is capable of cutting to the basket and possesses an accurate three-point shot. Alongside the 2.11-meter center Patton, the two will bolster…

This season's Volleyball League A group is really changing rapidly, the situation is complex, everyone is fighting hard to enter the playoffs, while also fighting to keep their spots. Especially for those teams with a high risk of relegation, it's like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, one misstep and they could fall. The most heart-wrenching are the teams from Shenzhen, Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian, especially Shenzhen, which almost became the focus of the relegation battle. Think about it, these teams are all facing the risk of relegation, especially Shenzhen, whose regular season record is really cold sweat-inducing. With a record of 1 win and 13 losses across the entire league, that's basically dead last. Even if they can fight for a top four spot in the group and enter the playoff competition, relegation is still a tough battle. This is no small matter, because if Shenzhen ends up at the bottom of Group F, it means they will directly face the fate of relegation. For a team with such a strong need to avoid relegation, it's not just about competing on strength, but also on mentality, luck, and even more so on the outcome of each match. Some netizens commented on social media platforms: "Shenzhen's recruitment is really too hasty, right?" How can they hold up with such desperate recruitment of Chen Peiyan, Yu Jiarui, and Wang Qi? Shenzhen's recruitment actions are quite significant, not only to enhance overall strength, but more importantly to avoid dropping the ball during the relegation process. Chen Peiyan, Yu Jiarui, and…

On December 30th, Beijing time, before the first Liaoning-Guangdong match of the season, Guangdong foreign aid Morand returned to Liaoning's home court. He was the main foreign aid in Liaoning's past three consecutive championships. Liaoning held a brief championship ring award ceremony for Morand, who received cheers from Liaoning's home fans and took photos with his former comrades-in-arms to commemorate the occasion. The 33-year-old Morand is in his sixth season playing in the CBA. He played for Shanxi for the first two seasons and then played for Liaoning for the next three seasons, helping Liaoning achieve three consecutive championships and becoming one of the important founders of the Liaoning dynasty. However, Liaoning did not renew Morand's contract this summer, and Guangdong successfully "intercepted" him after the start of the season, successfully signing Morand. Now Morand is returning to Liaoning's home court for the first time as a visiting team player after leaving Liaoning. During the pre-game warm-up interview, Morand said, "I am very excited. This is my first time back at Liaoning's home court this season. I have been playing in Liaoning for a long time and have many wonderful memories and exciting moments with my former teammates. I can't wait to visit my old friends and family." Now, before the Liaoning-Guangdong match, Liaoning held a championship ring award ceremony for Morand at home. Morand took the stage amidst the cheers of the home fans, received his championship ring, and took photos with his former teammates and coaches to commemorate the occasion.

In the blink of an eye, the CBA regular season has already gone through 22 rounds, and currently, the top four and top eight teams have entered a mixed battle stage, with rankings changing almost every day. Liaoning and Guangdong, affected by foreign players, feel like they are in the same boat, with Liaoning falling out of the top four after consecutive losses in the second stage, while Guangdong has even fallen out of the top eight. It is still unknown when they will get back on track. On December 30th, Beijing time, Guangdong and Liaoning will face off in a peak battle, which is also the first encounter between the two teams this season. The Beijing-Guangdong match has always been full of highlights, but now it is not what it used to be. Both teams have players missing due to injuries, and the battle between the inside and outside lines is about to break out. Who will come out on top? Four foreign players against three, what sparks will Morand and Daheng create? In this game, Guangdong's four foreign players, Jilunwater, Bazley, Morand, and Les, will work together to counter Liaoning's Ferg and Wells. The performance of the foreign players will determine the direction of the game. Among them, Morand's performance against his former team is worth looking forward to. This time, Morand will compete with Daheng, who were once close as brothers on the court, but now they play for different teams. Whether Morand can overpower Daheng or if Daheng can show his veteran strength and take the…
