On January 18th, Beijing time, the 32nd round of the CBA regular season saw seven intense battles in one night. Shanxi, Shandong, Beijing, and Shenzhen faced tough opponents ranked close to them, while Liaoning, Beikong, and Zhejiang had relatively easier opponents. That night, Shenzhen completed a perfect 22-point revenge, while Shanxi, Qingdao, Zhejiang, and Beikong were also big winners. However, Liaoning and Beijing had a turbulent time as they were disrupted by the referees' excessive involvement in the game. Ultimately, Liaoning narrowly escaped defeat, while Beijing became the biggest loser. Shenzhen defeated Jilin 118-96, securing another crucial victory in their pursuit of a playoff spot and moving up to 13th place in the rankings. In their previous encounter with Jilin, Shenzhen suffered a disappointing loss due to their inability to defend against Jones and Zhou Peng's poor performance in the fourth quarter (Zhou Peng did not play in the first three quarters). This time, Zhou Peng did not take unnecessary risks and entered the game early in the second quarter, scoring 7 points on 4-of-3 shooting to help the team establish a 39-20 lead over Jilin in the second quarter, leading by 25 points at halftime. The 25-point halftime lead was similar to their previous match, but this time Shenzhen did not give Jilin a chance to make a comeback. In the second half, Shenzhen maintained control of the game, and when they extended the lead to 33 points in the early stages of the fourth quarter, the game lost all suspense. The key to victory was that Shenzhen managed…

Zhou Qi Out with High Fever, Beijing's 24 Million Contract at Risk?‌ On January 12th, Beijing time, Zhou Qi was forced to rest due to a high fever of 37.6°C, putting his 24 million yuan, four-year contract with Beijing in jeopardy. Netizens are expressing their frustration, calling him a disappointment. Beijing's men's basketball team is currently struggling. In a recent match, they suffered a crushing defeat against Zhejiang. Why did they lose? Zhou Qi unexpectedly announced his absence due to a fever before the game, as he has been frequently unwell this year, either with a cold or a fever. He has already missed three games due to illness, not including those he missed due to injury this season. How can the team compete without him? Prior to this, Zhou Qi had not fully recovered from a cold but insisted on returning for the Liaoning game. After playing against Liaoning, he developed a fever again. For a professional athlete, the frequency of illness seems unusually high. Beijing relies heavily on Zhou Qi, but he is often sidelined due to injuries or illnesses, doing little work while earning a substantial salary. With Beijing investing 24 million yuan in a large contract, it seems like money down the drain if he cannot perform. After the game, Beijing's coach, Xu Limin, expressed his helplessness, stating that Zhou Qi's temperature was measured at 37.6°C in the locker room, so they decided to protect him by letting him rest instead of allowing him to cheer from the sidelines. Zhou Qi wanted to support his teammates…
