On the evening of January 8th, Beijing time, Shanghai men's basketball team defeated Beijing Beikong men's basketball team with a score of 127-114, achieving an impressive 14 consecutive victories, which is also the longest winning streak this season in the CBA! It is hard for fans to believe that Shanghai men's basketball team has gone from being at the bottom of the standings at the beginning of the season to now achieving 14 consecutive victories, which can be said to be very surprising! The key to Shanghai men's basketball team's ability to win consecutive victories is that on the one hand, the team changed its head coach at the beginning of the season. Since Coach Lu Wei took over, he has changed tactics and playing methods, injecting fresh blood into the team, and it can be said that the team has been rejuvenated! Now ranked 12th in the league, they are heading towards the playoffs! After yesterday's game, Lofton, the best performing foreign aid, said, "I haven't considered the NBA yet. My top priority is to lead Shanghai men's basketball team to win the championship. I love it here too much!" This undoubtedly gave the team and coaching staff a confidence booster! After all, there were also reports before that Lofton wanted to develop in the NBA, but it seems that he will not leave the team at least until the end of this season! Looking at the schedule, Shanghai men's basketball team will face Guangzhou, Jiangsu, Liaoning, and Shanxi men's basketball teams in the next few games. The first…

CCTV5 Live Broadcast! Liaoning Basketball Battles Strong Opponent for Consecutive Wins, Yang Ming Cannot Be Careless, New Aid Fights Salinger At 19:35 on the evening of January 10th, Beijing time, the 29th round of the CBA regular season will feature a key match, with defending champion Liaoning Men's Basketball continuing to host Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball at home. The CBA regular season is gradually reaching its peak, and the competition for the top four in the league is becoming increasingly fierce. Liaoning Men's Basketball, the defending champion team, after experiencing adjustments to their lineup during the offseason, is about to face Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball for the first time this season. The biggest highlight of this game is undoubtedly the peak confrontation between the two foreign players - Patton vs. Salinger. Such a heavyweight matchup has been arranged for live broadcast by CCTV5. Liaoning Men's Basketball is currently temporarily ranked fifth in the league, but the subsequent schedule is not easy. This time, playing at home against Beijing Enterprises, the team needs to strive for victory to consolidate their ranking. Although Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball has had ups and downs in performance this season, they have built a luxurious frontcourt lineup during the offseason, which cannot be underestimated. Of course, the biggest shortcoming of this team is Min Lulei, whose old-fashioned coaching philosophy no longer keeps up with the current CBA league. The biggest focus of this game is undoubtedly the confrontation between Liaoning's Patton and Beijing Enterprises' Salinger. Patton, as Liaoning's newly introduced gold medal foreign aid, showed the…

The CBA league has introduced the Club Cup competition during the regular season schedule this year. The group stage has already been completed during the first window period, with eight teams advancing to the finals. The schedule for the final stage has now been fully determined, starting on February 9th and concluding on the 15th. You can view the specific schedule in the image below. As for which team is most likely to win the championship, it's really hard to predict! Based on online predictions, Shanxi Men's Basketball is considered the biggest favorite, followed by Xinjiang Men's Basketball, Beijing Shougang, Shandong Men's Basketball, Shanghai Men's Basketball, Beikong Men's Basketball, Zhejiang Chouzhou, and Tianjin Men's Basketball. It's indeed difficult to guess, as we need to consider whether the teams will field their full-strength squads, taking into account injury risks and the impact of national team training on each team. Many players from these teams have been selected for national or provincial training squads, and we also need to consider the injury situations of each team at that time. Overall, there is a lot of suspense, so let's wait and see. All matches in the final stage will be held at the Shaanxi Provincial Stadium. Looking forward to it!

It was unexpected that after becoming a target in the first stage, the Shanghai team jumped to become the team with the longest winning streak in the second stage. In particular, the performance of Lofton, a 22-year-old big foreign aid who went undrafted in the NBA, has made other teams in the league envious, jealous, and resentful. The key is that Lofton can play a decisive role in crucial games for the Shanghai team. In the game against Tianjin, Lofton contributed 14 points, 13 points, and 11 points in the first three quarters, totaling 43 points, 18 rebounds, and 6 assists, helping the team complete a 13-game winning streak. Can they defeat Beikong away from home to achieve a miraculous 14-game winning streak? Compared to the first stage, the Shanghai team in the second stage feels like riding a roller coaster. They only won one game out of ten in the first stage, but surprisingly won 13 out of 14 games in the second stage. This contrast is quite unusual in the new season. The key is that although the Shanghai team appears to have four foreign players in terms of performance, only Bledsoe and the big foreign aid Lofton can maintain long playing times. Hawkins mostly plays during garbage time, and Wilson's playing time is also very limited. Moreover, the Shanghai team is not fully healthy. Besides the veteran Luo Hanchen who has been recovering from an injury, young player Liu Lijia has not returned, and Li Tianrong and Li Hongquan are also somewhat affected by injuries. Even so,…

On January 2nd, Beijing time, the CBA regular season is heating up! Nanjing men's basketball team is waiting at home to compete with Beikong men's basketball team. You know, before the game, Nanjing was ranked 11th and Beikong was ranked 10th, so this game is a real battle for position. Both sides are eager to consolidate their top 12 rankings to secure a playoff spot. It was known before the game that Lin Wei had a cold and couldn't play, but Guo Haowen finally returned from injury, and Zhang Fan of Beikong also recovered from his injury tonight. After four quarters of fierce competition, Nanjing men's basketball team finally lost to Beikong men's basketball team with a score of 103-105! This season, I met my opponent for the second time! The first time we met, I was on the Nanjing side, and I lost 17 points away to Beikong. Humph, it made me so frustrated. Tonight, back at home, I have to play a revenge game! Moreover, I suffered two consecutive defeats before the game, and I really need a victory to boost my morale and stabilize the military heart. Speaking of Beikong, it finally stopped the downward trend after narrowly defeating Jiangsu in the last round. In fact, its recent record is not good either, losing consecutively to Xinjiang and Shanghai. Although its lineup is luxurious, it always fails to exert the expected dominance in the game. I really don't know how it will perform tonight, and I'm quite looking forward to it! As soon as the whistle blew…

This season, there are only two head coaches in their 60s in the league, and they both happen to be the head coaches of the Beijing teams. Compared to Xu Limin, who has a relatively short coaching career in the CBA, Min Lulei, the championship-winning coach, has not been able to bring the strong Beikong team to the expected level this season. A major reason for this is his failure to effectively utilize last season's best foreign aid, Salinger. During his time with Shenzhen last season, Salinger was highly efficient, averaging 21.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 4 assists in just 26.8 minutes per game, and was named the best foreign aid in the regular season after the season. After transferring to Beikong this season, everyone thought he would continue to dominate and help Beikong make a run at the championship. However, as the season progressed, Min Lulei still hadn't found the right way to use Salinger, which gradually exposed his weaknesses. Including the recent game against Guangsha where he only scored 10 points and 7 rebounds, Salinger has only managed to score over 20 points in one of his last five games (against Shanghai). In that game, his shooting accuracy was not ideal, making only 11 of 29 shots for a dismal 37.9% shooting percentage. In the 25 games he has played for Beikong this season, Salinger's average scoring has dropped to 18.3 points despite playing more minutes than last season in Shenzhen. His shooting percentages have also significantly decreased to 45.4%, 31.7%, and 72.7%. In today's CBA, where "whoever…

CBA regular season, a key battle, Beikong men's basketball team against Tongxi men's basketball team. Beikong has 13 wins and 10 losses, ranking tenth, while Tongxi has 12 wins and 12 losses, ranking eleventh. Therefore, this is a positioning battle, where one victory is equivalent to two, and both teams will definitely fight hard. Beikong has an advantage in paper strength, with an advantage in the interior, and Zhang Fan has returned, strengthening the guard line. If they can play their own characteristics, they have a great chance of winning. Tongxi has better shooting ability than the opponent, so the rhythm must be fast, and the three-point shots must be accurate to have a chance of winning. Beikong starting lineup: Zou Yuchen, Zhang Fan, Salinge, Lin Yanting, Lile; Tongxi starting lineup: Zeng Fanri, Tian Yuheng, Zhu Mingzhen, Lif, Harris. Zhang Fan started with a turnover, Harris missed a three-pointer, Lile hit a corner three-pointer, Lif made a jumper, Zou Yuchen scored six points in a row, Harris made a fast break, Lif made a counterattack fast break, Zhu Mingzhen hit a corner three-pointer, Lin Yanting also scored from outside, the score alternated and the shooting percentage was very high. Lile made a quick attack for three points, Zou Yuchen continued, Zhang Fan made a steal and a one-dragon fast break, Beikong went on a 10-0 run, stopping Tongxi at 20-11. After the timeout, Beikong made consecutive turnovers, and Tongxi made a counterattack transition, stopping Beikong at 21-25. Zou Yuchen continued to score, Zhang Fan made a fast break, Lile and…

Recently, the performance of the Beikong team has been quite disappointing, especially in the recent game against the Shanghai team, where their interior line was completely overwhelmed, resulting in a chaotic mess throughout the match. At the beginning of the season, everyone had high hopes for this team, especially their interior line configuration. Shen Zijie, Salinger, and Zou Yuchen, these three centers are considered a luxurious lineup across the entire CBA. However, who would have thought that the current Beikong team's strong interior has become mere talk on paper? In actual competition, they were instead completely dominated by the opposing team's Lofton. At the beginning of the season, everyone was wondering if this team could become the dominant force in Beijing. But now, it seems that even qualifying for the playoffs is uncertain. Speaking of this game, Beikong really lost without any excuses. In the first half, everyone still felt a glimmer of hope, but as the game progressed, especially in the interior line confrontations, the three centers of Beikong failed to exert their expected advantages. On the other hand, Shanghai's Lofton was like a ticking time bomb, shooting 12 out of 22 attempts, scoring 31 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 assists, performing exceptionally brilliantly. Beikong's interior line was completely beaten without any resistance. At this point, who would dare to say that their interior is strong? Even Zou Yuchen was beaten like an extra, and Salinger was so frustrating to watch that one wonders if his emotions were already in disarray. In any case, the entire interior line was…

Since the introduction of top-tier contracts in the CBA league, it signifies that players who can secure such contracts are exceptional talents, considered big-name players within their teams and even across the CBA. Indeed, obtaining a top-tier CBA contract is a goal pursued by every CBA player, as it not only confirms their status at the pinnacle of the league but also brings them superior income and fame compared to others. However, the Beijing Royal Fighters have often shown poor judgment in selecting top-tier contracted players. Previously, they offered Sun Tonglin a multi-year top-tier CBA contract, resulting in Sun spending extended periods on the bench, earning high wages without contributing to the team. Undoubtedly, the long-term top-tier contract given to Sun by the Beijing Royal Fighters was a misjudgment. Regrettably, it seems the Beijing Royal Fighters' vision remains clouded, as they may have made another misjudgment this season. Both Zou Yuchen and Shen Zijie are top-tier contracted players for the team, yet their performances have not met the expectations of fans. In particular, Shen Zijie, regarded as a top center in the CBA, has seen a sharp decline in form since joining the Beijing Royal Fighters, failing to demonstrate the impact expected of a top-tier CBA player. Taking the game between the Beijing Royal Fighters and the Shanghai Sharks as an example, neither Shen Zijie nor Zou Yuchen were effective defensively against the 1.98-meter-tall Lofton. They were completely outplayed, allowing the opponent to score 31 points, grab 14 rebounds, and provide 7 assists, highlighting the fragility of the interior defense…

CBA regular season, a mismatched battle, Beikong men's basketball team against Jiangsu men's basketball team. Beikong team suffered two consecutive defeats before the game, their recent form has been poor, but the team's paper strength is there, facing a weak team, they should still be able to win if they perform normally. If they can't even handle this, Min Lulei might as well step down. Jiangsu team has the opportunity to cause an upset due to the foreign aid factor, after all, they have beaten Guangdong before, with the foreign aid performing exceptionally well and the local players providing some support. Starting lineup: Jiangsu: Wu Yujia, Goodwin, Tao Yanru, Zheng Qilong, Thompson; Beikong: Liu Xiaoyu, Zou Yuchen, Salinge, Zhu Songwei, Riller. Jiangsu team scored the first point, then it was a series of misses and turnovers, Liu Xiaoyu and Salinge had a 5-0 run, then they also entered the miss mode, like chicks pecking at each other. Goodwin and Salinge scored, still relying on the foreign aid. Zhu Songwei made a two-handed dunk, in half a quarter they played a 10-4, the score was ridiculously low. Goodwin and Lin Yanting made free throws, scoring mainly through free throws, it's really hard to score in open play. Lin Yanting finally hit a three-pointer, Yan Shi scored two points, Shen Zijie scored off an assist, Thompson responded, Riller attacked the basket, Jackson made a fast break, Jiangsu 16-25 Beikong. In the second quarter, Beikong's offense stalled, Jiangsu seized the opportunity to narrow the gap through transition, mainly relying on the foreign aid,…
