The highlight of this match is undoubtedly the intense collision between the Shanghai Sharks and Shanxi Fenjiu, both teams carrying a strong desire for victory, vowing to leave their mark of glory on the court. The Shanghai Sharks, known as the dark horse in the CBA, have always been renowned for their deep lineup and fluid offensive firepower. This time, they bring with them an impressive recent record, aiming to continue their momentum at home. Their big foreign player, Lofton, stands tall and long, serving as a crucial weapon for the team's offensive prowess. His every leap and dunk on the court is enough to shock opponents, making him an indispensable scoring point and rebounding guarantee for the team. However, Shanxi Fenjiu is no pushover. They also possess a dynamic and tactically versatile squad. Of particular note is their interior defensive powerhouse, Liu Chuanxing, who will take on the responsibility of countering Shanghai's foreign player, Lofton, in this game. Liu Chuanxing, with his outstanding height advantage and solid under-the-basket skills, always manages to create significant trouble for opponents on the defensive end. Facing a powerful foreign player like Lofton, Liu Chuanxing's defensive performance will undoubtedly become one of the key factors determining the direction of the game! Who will emerge victorious remains to be seen. This matchup not…

CCTV5 Live Broadcast: Shanghai Men's Basketball Team Challenges Shanxi, Lofton Absent, Wang Zhelin Battles Liu Chuanxing!‌ China Basketball Express January 16, 2025 09:20 Follow Thank you for your attention to the latest CBA news and game information updated daily! In the focus battle against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team's winning streak was ended with a 3-point disadvantage. Although they lost the game, head coach Lu Wei was very satisfied with the team's performance. He said that he thought the team played well, especially in the situation of falling behind at the beginning and catching up the score, which showed great tenacity. It was just a pity that the result was not as expected. According to the schedule, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team will still face a tough challenge next, with their opponent being the second-ranked Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. The game is scheduled to take place at 19:35 on the 17th, and CCTV5 channel will broadcast it live. The biggest reason why Shanghai Men's Basketball Team lost to Liaoning Men's Basketball Team was that foreign aid Lofton could not play, causing a significant drop in the team's overall strength. Since joining Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, Lofton has been a great help to the team, with an average of 24.4 points, 13.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game, which are also very impressive. In the CBA league, Lofton basically plays everyone out of position: those taller than him are not as flexible, and those faster than him are not as strong. Moreover, he also has a good…

In the 15th round of the CBA's focus match-up, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team and Beijing Men's Basketball Team were quite noticeable. Who would have thought that although the scoring gap between the two teams was not big, the performance of the star players was worlds apart, and Zhou Qi's performance was really hard to match his reputation! The game was still very intense At the beginning of the game, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team quickly entered the state, played a small climax, and the leading advantage was once impressive. But as the game progressed, Beijing Men's Basketball Team gradually took control of the situation on the court through efficient offensive cooperation, leading 28-21 in the first quarter. The second quarter was still like this, and both sides' games were very close. Whether it is the defensive intensity of Shanxi Men's Basketball Team or the offensive and defensive transition of Beijing Men's Basketball Team, it reflects the exquisite ball skills of the two teams. The key moment of the game appeared in the fourth quarter. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team strengthened its defense, gradually overtook the score through accurate shooting and clever breakthroughs, and finally completed the reversal with a score of 106-101, winning the victory of this key game. And in this focus battle, in addition to the overall performance of the two teams, Liu Chuanxing and Zhou Qi's personal comparison, as well as Zhou Qi's key mistake in the last moment of the game, became hot topics for discussion after the game. Liu Chuanxing's efficient performance and Zhou Qi's mediocre performance…

The reason for Shanxi Men's Basketball Team's reversal of Xinjiang Guanghui is not just tactics, finally understand. Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that everyone can see the desperate and life-threatening state of Shanxi in the fourth quarter, which completely stunned Xinjiang, and Shanxi deserves this comeback! Especially Liu Chuanxing! He was like an iron tower in the fourth quarter! Many actions by Shanxi in the fourth quarter were fouls, but the referees didn't call them. In fact, the referees' whistles favored Shanxi throughout the game, but Shanxi pretended not to defend and missed shots wildly in the first three quarters, which is why they fell behind so much. It was Liu Wei's first year coaching that created a record for Xinjiang, leading by 25 points and then being dramatically reversed in the last quarter. This game was a huge blow to the young players of Xinjiang. Shanxi finally dared to aggressively defend the entire court in the last quarter, with Goodwin speeding up the transition, taking advantage of the physical issues of Xinjiang's eight-man rotation. Shanxi played very well in the last quarter and deserved the victory! I actually quite admire Diawara. People with discerning eyes should be clear about what happened in this game. Diawara was shaking his head before the free throw at the end and also missed both free throws. He probably used this action to express his dissatisfaction with such behavior. Any team knows to call a timeout to adjust tactics in the fourth quarter, but Liu Wei makes the same mistake every game.…

The 27th round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued, with a focus on the fierce competition between the strong Shanxi men's basketball team and the traditional powerhouse Xinjiang men's basketball team. Ultimately, the stronger Shanxi team defeated the powerful Xinjiang team 115-110 at home, thanks to the outstanding performances of Liu Chuanxing, Goodwin, Diarra, and other main players. It is worth noting that Shanxi was once 25 points behind Xinjiang in this game, but they made a 41-11 offensive climax in the final quarter, successfully completing the comeback. It can be said that the reason why Shanxi could blow out Xinjiang with a single foreign aid lineup in the final quarter was due to the combination of Liu Chuanxing and the small foreign aid. As a former Guangdong team youth training inside player, many fans also called on Zhu Fangyu to consider signing Liu Chuanxing back. According to statistics, Liu Chuanxing, the main center of Shanxi team, played 21 minutes in this game, scoring 12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 5 blocks with a shooting rate of 6/10 on the offensive end, and a plus-minus value of +20, which was the best in the field. After this battle, Shanxi has firmly occupied the second place in the standings, only behind the top Guangsha men's basketball team as the hottest championship contender. It should be noted that this season's four major championship contenders Liaoning team, Beijing Shougang team, Guangsha team, and Xinjiang team have all been defeated by Shanxi. Shanxi relies on the…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, with a fierce battle between Shanxi Men's Basketball, ranked second in the standings, and Xinjiang Men's Basketball, one of the top four teams. After four quarters of intense competition, Gu Dewen, Liu Chuanxing, Diyaluo, and others led the Shanxi team to an astonishing comeback victory over the Xinjiang team by 25 points at home, with a score of 115-110. It is noteworthy that after the first three quarters, Shanxi was once 25 points behind, but they made a scoring surge of 41-11 in the final quarter, winning by 30 points and completing the reversal. It can be said that the current Shanxi team has interpreted the strongest lineup version of the final quarter of this season's CBA league, which is the era of top small foreign aid + strong local center. As a local center from Guangdong's youth training system, Liu Chuanxing's outstanding performance is indeed worthy of recognition. It should be noted that Shanxi not only has the strongest double-small foreign aid in the entire league, Gu Dewen and Diyaluo, but also has the top local big center Liu Chuanxing, which fully complies with the rules of this season's CBA league, allowing four quarters of 7 foreign aid and single foreign aid in the final quarter. Although Xinjiang took a huge lead, Shanxi has already relied on the advantages of Liu Chuanxing, Gu Dewen, Diyaluo, and others to reverse the defending champion Liaoning team, the powerful Beijing Shougang team, and the top-ranked Guangsha men's basketball team in…

After a 25-point comeback against Xinjiang Men's Basketball, Liu Chuanxing was publicly praised by head coach Pan Jiang for playing well. Liu Chuanxing deserved it as he indeed played a pivotal role. In the fourth quarter, Liu Chuanxing scored with a putback, sealing the victory and securing the win for Shanxi Men's Basketball. In just 21 minutes of play, Liu Chuanxing scored 12 points, quite efficiently. However, his greater contribution was on the defensive end, where he recorded 5 blocks and 2 steals. Liu Chuanxing's outstanding performance severely stifled Li Yanzhe, the core of Xinjiang Men's Basketball's interior. Li Yanzhe is a representative of top-tier CBA centers. When playing for Guangzhou Men's Basketball, he had a game with 30 points and 19 rebounds. This season with Xinjiang Men's Basketball, Li Yanzhe has been an undisputed pillar. Against Ningbo Men's Basketball, Li Yanzhe scored 22 points and 9 rebounds in 24 minutes of play. Against Liaoning Men's Basketball, Li Yanzhe had a single-game performance of 21 points in only 25 minutes. However, in this game, facing Liu Chuanxing, Li Yanzhe had no presence on both offense and defense, scoring only 9 points and 5 rebounds in 34 minutes of play. This is not the first time Liu Chuanxing has suppressed a top CBA center this season. Against Beijing Men's Basketball, standing before Liu Chuanxing was Zhou Qi, known as the No. 1 center in the CBA, but it was Liu Chuanxing who had the upper hand. Liu Chuanxing scored 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Zhou Qi had only 12 points…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has truly impressed this season with its transformation from the introduction of foreign players to strengthening the frontcourt and the growth of domestic players. The team seems to have taken on a new look, especially Diawara, the slam dunk champion, who has transitioned from an NBA fringe player to a CBA superstar, making one marvel at the wonders of the basketball world. The changes in the CBA's foreign player policy this season are significant, transitioning from four quarters with four foreign player slots to four quarters with seven. This has led teams to stockpile foreign players, with some even signing as many as seven or eight, resulting in a league filled with foreign faces. Shanxi's choice of foreign players is quite interesting; they did not blindly pursue big-name stars but instead selected several complementary players. Goodwin handles organization, Diawara focuses on offense, and Faye specializes in defense, creating a more complete tactical system for the team. Speaking of Diawara, he was known for his astonishing leaping ability during his NBA days, even winning a slam dunk contest. However, his shooting consistency was not stable, leading him to eventually join the CBA. After joining Shanxi, Diawara was not initially the main scorer, often coming off the bench with an average score of less than 20 points. However, following Goodwin's suspension, he had to step up and carry the team's offensive burden. In the game against Shenzhen, Diawara transformed, scoring 44 points, grabbing 19 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists in 39 minutes. Especially in the fourth quarter…
