In last night's fierce battle between Xinjiang and Nanjing Tongxi, Qi Lin became the "main culprit" for Xinjiang's defeat. In this game, Qi Lin performed quite poorly, playing 11 minutes in the first half with only 1 out of 4 three-pointers made, 1 out of 5 shots made for a total of 5 points, and committing 4 fouls. Throughout the game, he made only 2 out of 10 shots for a total of 7 points, committed 5 fouls, and had the lowest plus-minus value on the team at -12. When Qi Lin was substituted off the court, it was the fastest stage for Xinjiang to catch up in points. However, when Qi Lin was on the court, Xinjiang was mostly suppressed by Tongxi. In the second quarter of the game, Qi Lin also went berserk due to dissatisfaction with the referee's decision, earning a technical foul and angrily wanting to fight the referee. Fortunately, Liu Wei and Abudu Salamu intervened in time to prevent a major disaster. To avoid another outburst from Qi Lin, who had already received a technical foul, Xinjiang decided to send him back to the locker room to cool down. However, after leaving the court, Qi Lin did not calm down. Upon returning to the locker room, he picked up his phone and criticized the on-duty head referee, Yang Hongfeng with jersey number 39, online, posting the number "39" on social media. Although Qi Lin deleted this post after the game, it had already caused significant controversy during the match. After the game, Qi Lin also…

Can even a prodigious player be defeated? When Lofoten led the Shanghai men's basketball team to a 14-game winning streak, many believed he was the "answer" for this season's CBA. As an all-around player, he could attack and defend, seemingly capable of anything, even making people feel that as long as Lofoten was on the court, the Shanghai team would win. However, this "myth" came to an abrupt end under the precise tactics of Qiu Biao, head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team. Shanghai's 14-game winning streak was abruptly cut off, and Lofoten transformed from a "hero" into a "struggler." The new season of the CBA has made Lofoten one of the biggest topics. He emerged like a miraculous soldier, taking over the game with comprehensive skills and superior physical confrontation ability. Scoring, defense, organization; he could deliver top-level performances in almost every aspect. More importantly, he led the Shanghai men's basketball team to advance all the way, igniting a storm in the league with a 14-game winning streak. To fans, he was the team's leader and the guarantee of victory. Of course, behind the 14-game winning streak lay some intriguing details. Although the Shanghai team played with a momentum like breaking bamboo, a closer look at their schedule revealed that there weren't many real strong teams. Zhejiang men's basketball team was the only tough match, while most of the remaining opponents were mid-to-lower ranked teams. This couldn't help but make people wonder if there was a "sweet schedule" component to Shanghai's winning streak? This situation isn't novel in…

CBA News! On January 10th, Beijing Time, New Updates on Qiubiao, Min Lulei, and Wang Shilong As the 29th round of the CBA regular season unfolded, teams displayed different states and tactical performances on the court, bringing many noteworthy developments. In particular, the matches involving the Shandong, Zhejiang, and Beikong teams, as well as the performances and comments of their head coaches Qiubiao, Wang Shilong, and Min Lulei, have become hot topics among fans. Shandong defeated Jilin 117-84 at home, a victory that not only secured them two consecutive wins but also improved their record to 20-8, propelling them to third place in the standings, just half a game behind second-placed Shanxi. Throughout the game, Shandong demonstrated strong teamwork and tactical execution. Chris scored the highest with 26 points for the team, contributing 7 rebounds and 6 assists; Moore also had an impressive performance with 20 points and 6 assists. Local player Chen Peidong contributed 13 points, further proving the team's domestic strength. In contrast, although Jilin's Kizlink scored the highest with 31 points and contributed 8 assists, due to Jones' injury absence and the inability of key player Jiang Yuxing to play, the overall strength was significantly reduced, ultimately failing to pose much of a threat to Shandong at away. After the match, Shandong head coach Qiubiao spoke to the media about several key points behind the victory. He particularly emphasized that the players' focus is the foundation of the team's success, believing that the CBA competition is fierce, with little difference in strength from the 12th to the…

Shandong Team Faces a Major Crisis as Key Players Gaili, Guo Kai, and Gao Shiyan Suffer Injuries, Testing Coach Qiu Biao's Capabilities Shandong team has recently impressed with their performance, especially on the defensive end, which has been remarkable. Despite initial skepticism from many, Shandong has emerged as a dark horse, with their strength rapidly increasing. Their defense is well-recognized within the league, particularly in terms of steals, where they are unmatched. Furthermore, their rebounding, especially on the offensive boards, has shown significant improvement, effectively neutralizing opponents' second-wave attacks throughout games. The new additions to the team have been like divine reinforcements—Guo Kai's arrival has significantly strengthened the frontline, while Chris has contributed more scoring and rebounding support. The arrivals of Yu Dehao and Gaili, along with the growth of Chen Peidong and the addition of Xie Zhijie, have injected fresh energy into the team. However, as Shandong's momentum grew, no one could have predicted the major crisis they would face—several key players suffering injuries, causing great concern! Gaili, although performing somewhat during matches, surprisingly requested to be substituted in a critical moment due to an incomplete recovery from a leg injury. Gao Shiyan, who gave his all in the game, failed to score throughout and had difficulty shooting, which can be seen as fate playing tricks on him. His recurring injuries and complete physical exhaustion made him a liability on the defensive end. As for Guo Kai, he missed the game entirely due to injury, significantly weakening the team's frontline. The injuries to these three core players have placed…

Why is it always them? Every time in the second half of the season, Tongxi team seems to deflate like a punctured ball, gradually slipping from the upper half of the leaderboard. Is it a problem of strength, or a psychological issue? Or both? From the previous seasons' rankings of 14th and 13th, to this season's brief entry into the top 10 before falling back to 11th, the reality is that they once again stand at the edge of the playoffs, hesitating outside the door. Meanwhile, Shandong team is enjoying a "spring breeze" scene. In this game, they defeated Tongxi 129-116, not only surpassing Liaoning to rise to third place in the league, but also proved their hard power with a beautiful team victory. On one side is the disappointed Tongxi, on the other side is the thriving Shandong. What exactly is the difference between these two teams? Perhaps, we can get some insights from this game. In fact, Tongxi's problems are not new. Looking at the results of the past few seasons, their trajectory is like an unchanging "routine": they could still rely on their fighting spirit and form to create some surprises at the beginning of the season, but as they enter the second half, their record begins to slide. The 14th place in the 22-23 season and last season's 13th place speak volumes. Although they had a brief moment of glory this year, they have now slipped from the top 10 to 11th, once again facing the dilemma of missing the playoffs. In this game, Tongxi managed…

A Sigh, 15-Year Veteran Tao Hanlin: Why Is There Only a Lonely Back in the Applause?‌ With a record of 19 wins and 8 losses, temporarily ranking third in the standings, this season's Shandong men's basketball team has impressed everyone with both its performance and the team's spirit. Coach Qiu Biao has been strategic, the four foreign players have been diligent, and domestic players such as Gao Shiyan, Guo Kai, and Yu Dehao have also given their all, creating a convincing performance. However, it seems that all of this has little to do with one person, or perhaps not much at all. If it were just an inconsequential role player, it might not be so frustrating for everyone. But he was once the core of Shandong men's basketball team and even became a signature player at one point, which makes people feel helpless. This is the power forward: Little Shark Tao Hanlin. 1. Data Performance So Far This Season In the 25 games played, Tao Hanlin averages 18.2 minutes of playing time, scoring 6.6 points, grabbing 3.8 rebounds, assisting 1.0 times, and blocking 0.7 times. Whether it's playing time or data contribution, combined with past seasons' performances, it's almost a cliff-like decline! This data is basically on par with the 11-12 season! (Average of 17.3 minutes, 6.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.4 assists) But back then, Tao Hanlin was only 20 years old and basically still in his rookie stage. You should know that three years ago, Tao Hanlin was still the undisputed tactical and spiritual double-core of Shandong men's basketball…

In the 27th round of the CBA regular season, Shandong Express will face Nanjing Tongxi at home. After the first 26 rounds, Shandong Express has a record of 18 wins and 8 losses, ranking fifth in the standings with a win rate of 69.2%. Nanjing Tongxi has a record of 13 wins and 13 losses, ranking 11th in the standings with a win rate of 50%. Looking at the historical head-to-head record, Shandong Express has played against Nanjing Tongxi 22 times in history, with 20 wins and 2 losses, holding an absolute advantage. Last season, the two teams met twice, each winning one game, ending in a draw. However, neither team was able to enter the playoffs. This season, both teams have undergone significant changes. Shandong Express replaced their head coach with Qiu Biao and made personnel adjustments, effectively changing their lineup. Nanjing Tongxi bid farewell to Wang Lanqin and brought in Guo Haowen and Zhu Mingzhen. Their head coach became Serbian veteran coach Belosevic. This is the first encounter between the two teams this season, which is a battle after the changes. Judging from this season's performance, after Belosevic took office, he once led Tongxi to a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, including an away victory of 124:117 over the defending champion Liaoning Basketball Team. However, recently, the novelty of Belosevic's appointment seems to have faded, and their record in the last six rounds is only 2 wins and 4 losses, including a three-game losing streak. Overall, they still win less and lose more when facing the…

The calm before the storm shrouded the second battle between Shandong and Guangdong. The home team Guangdong faced Shandong in a match that was not only about the honor of the two teams but also tugged at the hearts of countless fans. On the Guangdong side, Hu Mingxuan had been out for a long time, and several players were unwell, but they gritted their teeth and vowed to fight for victory at home. The whistle blew, and both sides quickly entered the game, with the score rising alternately, creating a tense atmosphere that made it hard to breathe. At halftime, Shandong led 56-51, with Gaili performing outstandingly, contributing 20 points in a single quarter and leading the team to take the lead. The cheers from the audience rose and fell, seemingly heralding an exciting show to come. But no one expected that the real competition had just begun. In the third quarter, the situation changed dramatically as Huang Rongqi of Guangdong suddenly exploded, teaming up with Xu Jie to launch a 14-0 run, instantly overtaking the score. This wave of attacks surged like a tide, catching the previously leading Shandong off guard. Shandong's offense ended fruitlessly several times in a row, and their defense failed to effectively stop the scoring frenzy of the opponent. At this critical moment, foreign aid Chris lost control of his emotions and was penalized for a flagrant foul for elbowing Xu Jie, directly costing Shandong valuable points and rhythm. This incident not only changed the situation on the court but also forced coach Qiu Biao…

Xinjiang and Shandong teams have historically been on good terms, with many young talents from Xinjiang coming from training camps within Shandong province. For instance, Tang Caiyu, the former deputy captain of Xinjiang, as well as Qu Xiaoyu and Ge Haoran, are all products of Shandong training camps. Similarly, Hou Peizuo from Shandong is a product of Xinjiang's youth training. This season, however, tensions arose when Xinjiang's head coach Qiu Biao left for Shandong, taking with him Yu Dehao, Mi Aili, trainer Zati, video analyst Li Tianshu, and signing Wijntun. It is reported that Qiu Biao had signed a two-year contract with Xinjiang before last season, but with one year remaining, he abruptly sought to terminate the contract citing his child's schooling as the reason. The management of Xinjiang, adhering to the principle of parting amicably, respected Qiu Biao's wishes. Subsequently, Qiu Biao signed with Shandong, a rare occurrence for the best coach of the previous season to change teams during the off-season. Whether or not Qiu Biao's child eventually enrolled in school in Shandong remains unknown. Yu Dehao, Xinjiang's defensive anchor from last season, also had an unusual off-season. After returning early to Urumqi and staying in the player dormitory, he would train at the team gymnasium on his own. However, throughout Xinjiang's warm-up matches, summer league, and preseason games, Yu Dehao never appeared with the team, nor did he join them. As expected, before the registration deadline, Yu Dehao was transferred to Shandong. In their first two encounters this season, both sides played relatively normally. However, in the…

The Night When Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team's Dignity Was Shredded by Their Former Head Coach Originally, it was thought that with Zhao Rui's disqualification, the game between Shandong and Xinjiang teams would become calmer in the following time. After all, such a big commotion at the beginning of the game would make everyone, including the players, team staff, and on-site referees, be extra cautious and careful. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Through the post-game comments from both head coaches, we can get a glimpse of the situation. First, let's talk about the Xinjiang side. Liu Wei mentioned that Zhao Rui's ejection undoubtedly had a huge impact on the entire team, and it was also caused by Zhao Rui himself. But why did things turn out this way? It's because of the flow of the game. All fans watching the game, including TV media, hope to see star players compete, but the reality is that the stars are provoked and ejected from the court. This can't help but be considered a loss for the promotion of the entire CBA event. From this, we can see how strongly Liu Wei defends Zhao Rui, as well as his dissatisfaction with the on-site referees' professional level and response ability. Of course, due to the rules set, he cannot directly comment on the referees by name, so he chose a relatively "subtle" way. However, this approach is even more effective than directly confronting them. It can only be said that when it comes to subtlety, Liu Wei is the one to watch. This…
