In the 27th round of the CBA regular season, Qingdao defeated Guangzhou 103-90, securing their third consecutive victory and ranking fifth with a record of 18 wins and 9 losses, having played one more game than some teams. Guangzhou suffered their 11th consecutive loss, with a total record of 6 wins and 21 losses, placing them 17th. Sichuan lost to Fujian 127-132 after overtime, with both teams deciding the outcome through an extra period. Despite the combined 86 points from Sichuan's two foreign players, they still lost the game. Sichuan has now lost four games in a row, with a total record of 7 wins and 20 losses, ranking tenth. Fujian secured their third win of the season, placing them 20th. Qingdao's injury situation has been greatly alleviated. In the past two games, they have defeated Sichuan and Shanxi, maintaining their position in the top eight. Yang Hanshen, Duan Angjun, and Wang Ruize started the game, with foreign players Miqi and Weisipang also in the starting lineup. Although Smith was on the roster, his chances of playing were slim, as he did not participate in the previous game against Shanxi. Guangzhou had already lost ten consecutive games prior to this match, with three foreign players in action. However, their domestic players' abilities are limited, making it difficult for them to win without Guo Ailun. Guangzhou has only managed six victories so far. The first quarter ended with both teams tied at 26 points each. Qingdao led the second quarter 27-21, taking a 53-47 lead at halftime. The two foreign players…

The CBA regular season has reached its 26th round, with last night's five matches proving to be incredibly exciting. As Beijing defeated Zhejiang, Fujian lost to Shenzhen, Guangzhou fell to Jiangsu, Qingdao overcame Shanxi, and Xinjiang staged a comeback against Sichuan, the CBA standings were thrown into chaos overnight! Seven teams are vying for second place, while three teams are fighting for the final playoff spot, which is twelfth place. Shanghai is making the strongest comeback, closely followed by Shenzhen! Let's delve into the specifics: Last night, Shanxi suffered a 122-129 defeat on the road against Qingdao, ending their winning streak and dropping to third place. The game was a fierce battle throughout, with Qingdao's ten-rebound advantage being the decisive factor. Both teams made numerous mistakes, giving each other opportunities. Qingdao had 19 turnovers, while Shanxi had 20. Additionally, the match was marked by constant conflicts, with three players from both teams fouling out, including Shanxi's foreign player Diawara, who shoved Jia Cheng and received another unsportsmanlike foul, accumulating a total of five unsportsmanlike fouls, which is not good news. In terms of scoring, four Qingdao players scored in double figures, with two of them reaching 30+ points. Weatherspoon scored 39 points, 1 rebound, and 8 assists, while Mickey contributed 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. These two foreign players really put in an effort! Wang Ruize also had a breakout game with 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Yang Hanshen easily grabbed a double-double with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Shanxi also had four players score…

The new year of 2025 has begun, and the CBA regular season has entered the fierce competition of the second half of the league. The 26th round of the regular season is divided into two match days. On January 3rd, five major battles were launched first. This night, there were three unexpected games, with three teams ranked higher being upset by lower-ranked teams. Among them, there was also a big upset, with two championship favorites suffering a Waterloo. Qingdao's 7-point domination over Shanxi This upset game saw Qingdao defeat the top-four team Shanxi 129-122 at home. Although the 7-point difference is not significant, why do we say it was a domination? Because from the scoring trend of the entire game, Qingdao was almost always leading. In the first quarter, Qingdao gave Shanxi a warning, starting with a 30-11 run in the first 7 minutes and 30 seconds, establishing a double-digit lead of 37-23. Shanxi only had one moment of score reversal in the game, which occurred at 7 minutes and 43 seconds in the third quarter when Yuan Shuai made a three-pointer, and Shanxi took the lead 74-73. However, after the reversal, it only took less than 13 seconds before Shanxi was immediately overtaken by Qingdao again. In the subsequent game, no matter how Shanxi chased, they could not catch up. In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, Shanxi even trailed Qingdao 104-119, with a significant 15-point difference. Of course, Shanxi was tenacious, and even when the game seemed hopeless for a reversal, they continued to apply full-court…

As the biggest dark horse in the CBA league, undefeated and invincible in the new season, Shanxi team unexpectedly faced Qingdao team not only being hit 9:0 in the first 2 minutes of the away game, but also scoring only 15 points in the first 10 minutes, ending the first quarter trailing Qingdao team by 14 points. The key point is that Shanxi team had a 50% three-point shooting rate in this game, hitting 13 out of 26 attempts, but the team unfortunately lost the game by a margin of 7 points with a score of 122:129. Is it because Coach Pan Jiang was careless and underestimated the opponent, or did he consciously accumulate strength to save face and avenge Xinjiang team at their home court? In this game, although Shanxi team was playing away, their overall rotation and individual combat capabilities seemed to be superior to Qingdao team's. The key is that Shanxi team has four outstanding foreign players, while Qingdao team currently has only two foreign players. Once physical fatigue sets in, it would be difficult for Qingdao team to stop Shanxi team's counterattack in the last quarter. However, what was unexpected was that Qingdao team not only played high-quality offense at the beginning, but also maintained a perfect 9:0 start within 2 minutes. More confusingly, it seemed that all the Shanxi team players were out of form, with the team making a total of 6 turnovers in the first quarter. As the starting small foreign player, Goodwin alone made 3 turnovers, and the other two small foreign…

It's really difficult to find suitable foreign players, which is a common sentiment among the general managers of CBA clubs, as they are almost constantly scouting for foreign talent. This difficulty is related to the CBA's salary cap regulations, which stipulate that the total amount cannot exceed $4.5 million.

However, there have been successful cases of finding good deals, and we will discuss four such foreign players who were inexpensive but have become super foreign players.
