CBA Rankings Change! Shandong Rises to 2nd, Two Strong Teams Start to Drop the Ball, Guangdong Could Enter Top 4 On January 22nd, Beijing time, with the conclusion of all matches in the 34th round of the CBA, a significant change has occurred in the latest rankings. Among them, Shandong Team, who defeated Ningbo Team 112-102 at home, once again surpassed Shanxi Team and returned to second place. The victory in this match for Shandong Team was quite interesting, as the three foreign players from Ningbo Team combined for a total of 88 points, while the remaining domestic players only scored 14 points. It can be seen that this match for Shandong Team was more like a contest against pure foreign players. Among them, Ningbo's foreign player Ma Qi personally scored an astonishing 60 points, becoming the first player in the CBA this season to score over 60 points. However, basketball is a team sport, and as the saying goes, "One cannot defeat four with two fists." Despite Ma Qi's explosive 60-point performance, it was not enough to stop Shandong Team from winning. After the game, Shandong Team's head coach Qiu Biao also gave special praise to Ningbo Team's Ma Qi! Qiu Biao stated, "I often say that one must guard against uncertain factors in basketball games. A foreign player scoring 60 points is an uncertain factor; he made many difficult shots. Fortunately, our defense was excellent. As for why Gao Shiyan did not play, Qiu Biao explained that it was to protect the player, who will rest and adjust…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team and Shandong High-Speed Men's Basketball Team have announced significant new signings, resulting in noticeable changes to their team rosters. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has signed Harry Giles III, a former NBA player known for his prowess in the paint, while Shandong High-Speed Men's Basketball Team has welcomed the physically imposing Christopher Koumadje. The addition of these two players has undoubtedly further strengthened the capabilities of both teams, generating excitement among fans for upcoming matches. Let's start with Shanxi Men's Basketball Team's signing. Giles III is a name that many basketball fans will recognize. Standing at 2.11 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.21 meters, he is a natural-born basketball player. More importantly, Giles III was selected as the 20th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Although his NBA career did not reach great heights, he played for the Sacramento Kings and scored 20 points and 9 rebounds in just 21 minutes during a game against the Atlanta Hawks, demonstrating his remarkable abilities. His arrival is undoubtedly a significant addition to Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. Shanxi Team has had an impressive season so far, with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses by the 10th round, ranking third in the standings. Their foreign player, Brandon Goodwin, averages 24.1 points, 5 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game, making him the core of the team. Domestic players Zhang Ning and Yuan Shuai have also performed exceptionally well, forming a formidable trio with Goodwin that serves as the primary offensive force for Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. The addition…

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 Men's Basketball Team staged a thrilling overtime battle at home, ultimately defeating Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team with a score of 121:118. The biggest contributor to this game was undoubtedly Gao Shiyan, who not only scored a career-high 43 points but also continuously stepped up for the team in crucial moments to secure victory. From the beginning of the game, Gao Shiyan displayed an excellent state, scoring 12 points in the first quarter, including 2 out of 3 three-pointers. Every shot he took made the fans hold their breath, and every goal made the whole stadium boil. Especially in the fourth quarter, Gao Shiyan seemed to enter an unstoppable mode, scoring 13 points in a single quarter. The three-pointer he made with 1.3 seconds left was a textbook buzzer-beater that sent the game into overtime. A netizen commented: Honestly, after watching this game, I am convinced. Today, Gao Shiyan is simply on fire, with perfect timing for shooting choices and breakthroughs. Especially that equalizing three-pointer, which he could still steadily hit under tight defense from the opponent, such a big heart is really not something everyone can have. Looking at his stats, he made 6 out of 9 three-pointers and 11 out of 12 free throws, which is simply explosive efficiency. This is what a super scoring guard should look like! Wiggington also played a significant role in this game, scoring 30 points while contributing 3 assists. His breakthrough ability is particularly strong, and each time he has the ball, he can exert great pressure on the opponent's defense. The…

Guangdong Team's Most Suitable Forward Foreign Target with 60 Points in 39 Shots On January 22nd, Beijing time, the 33rd round of the second stage of the CBA regular season continued. Recently, the powerful Shandong men's basketball team narrowly defeated Ningbo at home with a score of 112-102. The main foreign player Ma Qi of the latter scored a new high record this season and almost overturned Shandong's more mature tactical system on his own. From the game, Ma Qi took 39 shots to force 60 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists under the circumstances that the local players of Ningbo were in poor condition and the team could not execute tactics to complete the offense. Obviously, Ma Qi will become a foreign target sought after by many teams in the CBA league in the future, and is also a good reinforcement target for Guangdong men's basketball team, which has been plagued by small foreign players. This season, Sichuan team's main foreign player Samner blasted 54 points and has always been the strongest scorer in the CBA. In addition, there are other foreign players in the CBA league, including Fergie, Wells, Goodwin, Brown, Diallo, David James, etc., who have had good scoring performances. At present, the CBA league has become a time for foreign players to compete, whether it is four quarters of 4 people or four quarters of 7 people rules, top foreign players are the desired supplement of the CBA league. Now, the traditional power Guangdong men's basketball team has entered the top five of the standings with…

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…

The CBA regular season continues tonight with a total of 5 games, each worth watching. The first game is between Beijing and Shenzhen. In terms of hard strength, Beijing is definitely stronger, especially with the return of players like Zhou Qi and Zeng Fanbo, they are likely to easily defeat Shenzhen. However, Shenzhen often causes upsets, so we must not let our guard down. The second game is between Guangzhou and Beikong. The biggest highlight of this game is not whether Beikong can achieve a four-game winning streak, but whether Guo Ailun of Guangzhou can continue his efficient performance after scoring 27 points in the last game. We will have to wait and see. The third game is between Zhejiang and Fujian. Zhejiang is currently ranked fourth in the league and is expected to win against the weaker Fujian team. The fourth game is between Shanghai and Guangdong, which is sure to be exciting. One team is considered a dark horse, while the other has made a late surge. It's time to test Shanghai's mettle. The fifth game is between Shanxi and Tongxi, which is expected to be won by Shanxi without much suspense. After looking at today's main schedule, let's take a look at yesterday's two classic games. The first game was between Shandong and Ningbo. Chris and Yu Dehao of Shandong did not play due to injuries, but it did not affect the final outcome. Shandong defeated Ningbo 112-102 for a double victory in the season, securing their second consecutive win. Shandong surpassed Shanxi to rise to second…

The latest CBA standings have been released, with Shandong making a comeback against Shanxi to claim the second spot, while Liaoning, Guangdong, and Xinjiang are locked in a tight battle for position. In the 34th round of the CBA regular season, two matches were played first. Shandong achieved a significant home victory over Ningbo, returning to second place in the standings. Meanwhile, Jiangsu caused an upset by defeating Tianjin at home, which was quite unexpected. After these two matches, there hasn't been much change in the CBA standings, except for Shandong moving up to second place.

Liaoning Reversal and Shandong Victory! Latest CBA Rankings: Shandong Surpasses Dark Horse to Rise to Second Place On January 19th, Beijing time, Liaoning was reversed by Zhejiang despite leading by as many as 12 points, missing a good opportunity to climb to second in the league! Shandong defeated Jiangsu, surpassing the dark horse Shanxi to rise to second in the league, with Shanxi relinquishing their second-place position! Liaoning Leading Zhejiang by 12 Points is Reversed, York Hits 8 Three-Pointers for 31 Points In the first quarter, Zhejiang started with a bang, with Jones making a quick pass to Yu Jiahao during a breakthrough, who then performed an impressive two-handed dunk, allowing Zhejiang to open up a double-digit lead with a 16-6 start; Liaoning immediately launched a counterattack, with Wells dribbling the ball for a fast break and easily scoring a layup, reducing the gap to 4 points; at the end of the first quarter, Liaoning trailed Zhejiang 18-20!

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…
