This season, the CBA has relaxed its foreign player policy, changing from four quarters with four players to seven players per quarter. This greatly increases the impact of foreign players on the game while reducing the playing time of domestic players. For many teams, domestic players must work hard if they want to stand out, but there are also mediocre teams that rely heavily on foreign players, allowing them to dominate the court while domestic players simply go through the motions, playing health-preserving basketball. Don't doubt it, this season there are several such mediocre teams in the CBA. In a CBA regular-season match between Shandong and Ningbo, Shandong won 112:102 with five players scoring in double figures. Honestly, Ningbo is a weak team, while Shandong is one of the top four strong teams this season. It's not disgraceful for Ningbo to lose to them, but the way they lost was not right. Why do I say that? Let's take a look at the statistics. In this game, Ningbo attempted 80 shots in total, with foreign player Ma Qi shooting as many as 39 times, almost half of the total attempts. In contrast, the entire Ningbo domestic squad (8 players) only shot 14 times and made 5 of them, with a shooting rate of just 35%. It can be seen that they not only shot less but also had an extremely low shooting rate. On the contrary, foreign players attempted 66 shots, more than five times the number of domestic players. After several years, I really don't know what Ningbo men's…

Shandong High-Speed won a tough victory over Ningbo with a score of 112-102 in the 34th round. In this game, Gao Shiyuan only played for 17 minutes and 25 seconds, shooting 3 out of 1 and scoring only 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists. After the game, Coach Qiu Biao confirmed that Gao Shiyuan was injured, and to protect him, he did not let him play more time. In this game, Shandong's big foreign aid Chris was also absent due to injury, causing a significant drop in defensive and strong offensive standards. The absence of Yu Dehao due to injury also caused a significant decline in Shandong's perimeter defense, and Gao Shiyuan's ability to steal on the perimeter is also very strong. In this game, Ningbo's foreign aid Ma Qi made 20 out of 39 shots, including 7 out of 18 three-pointers, scoring a total of 60 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. In the second quarter, he made 5 out of 7 shots and scored 18 points, and Ningbo even surpassed by 1 point in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Ningbo won by 10 points, and Ma Qi made 3 out of 10 shots and scored another 10 points. In the final quarter, Ningbo was only 2 points behind, and Ma Qi made 6 out of 11 shots and scored an unstoppable 27 points, once chasing to within 6 points. This game requires Shandong to be vigilant about their perimeter defense, as there will still be hidden dangers when facing stronger teams…

Recently, keen fans discovered that Zhang Jike, the former national table tennis Grand Slam champion, no longer has any existing enterprises under his name, and his only studio has changed from being in operation to being cancelled! The news of all the companies under Zhang Jike's name being cancelled has sparked intense discussions among domestic fans. Once upon a time, Zhang Jike had various advertising endorsements and commercial collaborations pouring in. Nowadays, Zhang Jike's commercial empire is no longer what it used to be, and his only studio has also been officially cancelled. It is understood that Ningbo Haishu Giant Star Yang Cultural Creative Studio was established in April 2024, which is less than a year from now. It is worth noting that before this, Beijing Feiao World Trade Co., Ltd., in which Zhang Jike held a 35% stake, was also cancelled in July 2024. However, although all the companies and studios under Zhang Jike's name have been cancelled, it has not had much impact on him personally! Nowadays, Zhang Jike has officially returned and transformed into a coach, with income mainly coming from live streaming sales and offline teaching. It is understood that Zhang Jike sells table tennis courses on short video social platforms, which directly exploded in sales, earning 1.7 million yuan in less than half a month. Although this income is far less than what Zhang Jike earned at the peak of his career, compared to ordinary people, it is already an exaggerated existence. Although Zhang Jike has achieved success in live streaming sales, he has also…

On January 21st, Beijing time, the first foreign player on the CBA front line was born. He brutally defeated Shandong without mercy, madly scoring the first 60 points, which looked desperate, almost winning the game single-handedly against five players. In the match between Ningbo and Shandong, we really witnessed the strongest foreign player in the CBA league, who can be called the first superstar. His ability is really too strong, and he is also the foreign player that Liaoning team needs most. Yang Ming, the head coach of Liaoning men's basketball team, complained many times this year during the regular season that the team's foreign players were not good enough, and as we all know, Liaoning's recent recruitment has not been smooth. The new arrival, Weber, is a small forward, but he is not very capable. Now it seems that the foreign player Liaoning needs most is playing for Ningbo, right? That is their small forward Ma Qi. This player, who is only 1.96 meters tall, is very capable and almost performed a miracle of one-on-five that has never been seen this season. Ma Qi is truly a pure one-on-five. Why do I say that? Look at the data: in the whole game, except for him, only one person from Ningbo scored in double digits, which is Ma Tiantang. They only had two people scoring in double digits, and among Ningbo's total of 102 points, Ma Qi scored 60 points, Ma Tiantang 22 points, and the two foreign players combined for 82 points. This means that the remaining domestic players,…

Shandong Men's Basketball Team faced off against Ningbo Men's Basketball Team at home, a game with little suspense as one wonders how the third-ranked team could lose. It was inevitable that Ningbo would not see the possibility of winning and would suffer a ten-game losing streak. In the first quarter, Shandong completely dominated Ningbo with a score of 36-17, a 19-point gap. The disparity in strength and form was significant, with Shandong overwhelming Ningbo in all aspects, playing very relaxedly. Ningbo had no resistance, with poor foreign aid and even worse local players. Gao Shiyan is known as the "master baker," Guo Kai as the "mid-range king," Moore as the "three-point sharpshooter," and Kuma Jie as the "cake-eating master." In the second quarter, after readjusting, Shandong continued to control the pace of the game, further widening the point difference. Although Ningbo's offense improved somewhat, it was far from enough, especially since they couldn't defend well, with a defense riddled with holes. Chen Peidong scored an open three-pointer, creating a 25-point gap. Even the referees couldn't bear it, turning Kuma Jie's good block into goaltending, awarding Ningbo two points. The two teams maintained a gap of around 20 points, with Shandong not expanding it and Ningbo unable to reduce it, ending the half with a score of 63-45. Statistics: Machi 23 points, Maddion 11 points 4 rebounds, Lacossevic 6 points 6 rebounds, Wang Junjie 2 points, Wang Zirui 5 assists 12 steals, Howard 1 assist; Kuma Jie 14 points 4 rebounds 2 steals, Moore 13 points, Guo Kai 8 points, Zhang…

For Shandong, victory seems almost certain, and last season's best coach, Qiu Biao, just needs to ensure that the team doesn't underestimate their opponents.

Why did Liaoning Men's Basketball Team reverse Ningbo? The answer is obvious, many people haven't noticed yet! Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's domestic players, except for Dahan, are too poor in finishing. Once the foreign aid is not in good condition, the game is easy to lose, and it's not just one or two games. I don't know why they have been in such a bad state all the time. In addition, the refereeing standards of this game are too ridiculous, with one side being a body hair whistle and the other side being a free fighting whistle! Fu Hao is nothing, he can't even score under the basket, so trade him away quickly, he must lose if he is on the court. Now Fu Hao of Liaoning team is a big hidden danger in the team, his offense is not good, his defense is slow and often misses people, he is really not as good as Wu Changze, but he gets top salary, others will definitely feel uncomfortable. Zhao Jiwei has been injured for so long, and it is obvious that he has lost weight. What he lacks is physical recovery, not the so-called state. At the critical moment when the score is close, Yang Ming only believes in the cooperation between the old players who have been with him for many years. When a new player makes a mistake, he panics, which is a normal psychology and also a real fear of losing. The only way out for Liaoning Men's Basketball…

CBA League: Liaoning Men's Basketball Narrow Victory Over Ningbo, A Plot Too Unbelievable for Fiction The reasons behind Liaoning Men's Basketball's narrow victory over Ningbo in the CBA league are so dramatic that even a novel wouldn't dare to write it this way. Netizens have keenly pointed out that Liaoning played worse than Ningbo, but it's simply because the players are not up to par! Players like Patton, Fu Hao, Li Hu Yi, Wells, Wang Lan Qin, Han De Jun, Li Xiao Xu, Weber, Fog, and Zhao Ji Wei could handle two sets of lineups with five players each, but under Yang Ming's leadership, Liaoning is now struggling against any opponent. The word that sums up Liaoning's performance in this game is "exhausted." The main players on the court started off normally, but by the fourth quarter, it was clear that Liaoning's number 55 and 22 were experiencing a drop in physical endurance! Although foreign player Fog performed outstandingly, the recent high-intensity matches have also left him slightly fatigued! When some are exhausted, others are idle! In the fourth quarter, these domestic players from Ningbo didn't seem as good as Liaoning's third-string domestic players. Who is responsible for Liaoning playing so poorly at the time? In fact, if Liaoning had two small foreign players on the court simultaneously, they wouldn't need a domestic guard at all. It's just one ball; whoever gets it can take a shot. Why bother having a specific guard bring the ball across half court, pretending there's some tactic when it's just handed off after crossing…
