It's really unexpected that the Shanghai team, which has been rising and is poised to challenge for the finals, has started scouting for quality small foreign players for next season with 13 rounds of regular season games yet to be played. After defeating Sichuan away, according to insiders, the Shanghai men's basketball team made contact with Sichuan's foreign player Samna during their trip to Sichuan, discussing the possibility of signing next season. If they successfully partner with this season's scoring champion, it's quite possible that the Shanghai team could make it to the finals next season, allowing the current 31-year-old Wang Zhelin to retire with a championship ring. Although the Shanghai team faced a foreign player crisis in the first stage of the 24-25 season, especially with a record of 1 win and 9 losses, which led to the resignation of head coach Liu Peng, the new season's Shanghai team can be said to have one of the best-performing young players. Under the condition of four quarters and seven foreign player uses in the league, most teams rarely allow young players playing time in pursuit of overall results. Most rely on veterans, but due to foreign player and injury issues, young players in the new season have received a lot of playing time and gradually become core rotations in the team, especially in the second stage after coach Lu Wei took office, players like Li Hongquan, Li Tianrong, Liu Zhengqing, Dai Hao, and even Xie Liyongwei and Ma Diancheng can become main rotation players. Although the current Shanghai team's overall…

On December 30th, Beijing time, before the first Liaoning-Guangdong match of the season, Guangdong foreign aid Morand returned to Liaoning's home court. He was the main foreign aid in Liaoning's past three consecutive championships. Liaoning held a brief championship ring award ceremony for Morand, who received cheers from Liaoning's home fans and took photos with his former comrades-in-arms to commemorate the occasion. The 33-year-old Morand is in his sixth season playing in the CBA. He played for Shanxi for the first two seasons and then played for Liaoning for the next three seasons, helping Liaoning achieve three consecutive championships and becoming one of the important founders of the Liaoning dynasty. However, Liaoning did not renew Morand's contract this summer, and Guangdong successfully "intercepted" him after the start of the season, successfully signing Morand. Now Morand is returning to Liaoning's home court for the first time as a visiting team player after leaving Liaoning. During the pre-game warm-up interview, Morand said, "I am very excited. This is my first time back at Liaoning's home court this season. I have been playing in Liaoning for a long time and have many wonderful memories and exciting moments with my former teammates. I can't wait to visit my old friends and family." Now, before the Liaoning-Guangdong match, Liaoning held a championship ring award ceremony for Morand at home. Morand took the stage amidst the cheers of the home fans, received his championship ring, and took photos with his former teammates and coaches to commemorate the occasion.

The NBA's Golden State Warriors are once again embroiled in internal strife! On December 29th, during the home game against the Phoenix Suns, Draymond Green couldn't resist showing off his big mouth again. Seeing that Hield, who came off the bench, missed all seven of his three-point attempts, Draymond couldn't help but start ranting on the spot. This scene is all too familiar, just like when he previously confronted Poole and Durant. The Warriors managed to eke out a hard-fought victory, winning 109-105 against the Suns. Draymond Green played quite well, scoring 16 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists in over 34 minutes, with a high shooting percentage including 3 out of 5 from beyond the arc. In contrast, Hield, who played for 14 minutes, seemed to be sleepwalking, missing all seven of his three-point shots and failing to score a single point, which was frustrating to watch. There was a hilarious moment caught on camera where Draymond unleashed a tirade at Hield: "Wake up, damn it! Or sit down and shut up!" His words were quite harsh. When asked about this after the game, Draymond went even further: "I told the microphone I don't care. Hield has too little experience in key moments; we need to make him understand what this means. Don't like it? Tough! That's why I have four championship rings and they don't." Fans are in an uproar, saying all sorts of things. Some say: "We just forgave Poole for hitting someone a few days ago, now we have to forgive you for…
