This season of the CBA league is already halfway through, yet Wang Lanqin's situation with Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has become a sigh. The dazzling glory of the number one draft pick seems to be fading away in this powerhouse team. In the game against Fujian Men's Basketball Team, this player worth 5.5 million yuan was only on the court for a minute before being substituted, which can't help but make people feel emotional. Throughout the game, he spent most of his time sitting on the bench, silently watching his teammates fight on the court. It is understood that Beijing Men's Basketball Team once extended an olive branch to Wang Lanqin, offering quite attractive conditions. But in the end, he chose Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. Now this decision seems to have put him in an awkward position. Behind the astronomical annual salary lies heavy expectations and pressure. One minute on the court, dozens of minutes off the court, such treatment forms a stark contrast with his astronomical annual salary. On the court, his performance has never been able to impress the coaching staff, and fans are quite critical of the performance of this high-priced player. Those once stunning performances seem to have become fleeting memories. On the other side, Zhou Qi of Beijing Men's Basketball Team is still plagued by injuries. In the upcoming battle against Shandong Men's Basketball Team, he will miss the game again. This is not the first time he has missed a game due to injury this season, and the team and fans seem to have…

Translation of the article content into English: The dark horse performances of Shanxi and Shandong men's basketball teams in the CBA arena have made people realize that the transfer of Jiao Hailong was indeed very timely. The butterfly effect brought about by this summer's transfer window has made the entire league more interesting. When Jiao Hailong left Shandong, no one thought it was a noteworthy news item, as he was just an average substitute there, averaging less than 15 minutes of playing time per game. However, looking back now, this transfer has really changed many things. Shanxi's defensive system has become more complete with his addition, while Shandong has found its rhythm due to his departure. Jiao Hailong has found his place in Shanxi, where his on-court contributions are tangible, especially on the defensive end, which has left a deep impression. Shanxi's head coach Pan Jiang has placed great trust in Jiao Hailong, starting him in important games, which has also allowed Jiao to play at a higher level. In Shanxi, Jiao Hailong doesn't need to worry about scoring; he only needs to focus on his defensive duties, which has made him play more relaxed. For Shanxi, bringing in Jiao Hailong filled the gap in their interior defense, making the entire defensive system more stringent. After losing Jiao Hailong, Shandong played at a faster pace, with the vitality of young players fully unleashed. Jiao Hailong's performance in Shanxi has surprised many; he is no longer the substitute sitting on the bench watching the game. In Shanxi, Jiao Hailong has found…

Ultimately, Shandong Team emerged victorious with a score of 111-107, securing their win. This victory for Shandong Team not only broke Xinjiang Team's undefeated home record for the season but also put an end to Xinjiang Team's 13-game winning streak at home. Additionally, it marked the first time in seven years that Shandong Team had won a game at Xinjiang Team's home court, making this match particularly significant for Shandong Team. Notably, Xinjiang Team not only lost their undefeated home record but also suffered a loss in terms of personnel. In the first quarter, Zhao Rui, the team's backcourt player, was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and angrily pushed the referee. As a result, he was penalized with a disqualification and immediately ejected from the game. With 5 minutes and 3 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Zhao Rui drove to the basket and scored 2 points. After scoring, Zhao Rui believed that a Shandong Team player had committed a foul, but the referee did not call a foul on the Shandong Team player. This outcome left Zhao Rui highly dissatisfied, leading him to berate the referee. In response to Zhao Rui's outburst, the referee could no longer tolerate it and issued a technical foul against Zhao Rui. Unexpectedly, instead of calming down after receiving the technical foul, Zhao Rui became even more furious. He charged towards the referee and violently bumped…

Shandong Taishan's winter transfer window for reinforcement and winter training has been slow this year! In the new season, the Choi Kang-hee team must not slack off. If they don't strive for improvement, the losses will not only be poor results for the first team, but also the inability to secure a spot in the AFC Champions League. This would mean fewer opportunities to train young players and less subsidies from the Asian Football Confederation, leaving no chance for the talented young players of Luneng to shine. More and more Taishan fans are disgusted by the Korean team. Let's start with some good news to calm down. The worst foreign player in Taishan's history is gone! On January 1st, Matheus Pato posted on social media: "I am very grateful to Shandong Taishan Club. It is an honor to wear this jersey full of glory. Wishing continued success!" Delgado left a message wishing Pato well: "Good luck with your next step, brother ❤️" Although Matheus Pato's name is fierce, he did not meet expectations after transferring from Indonesian club Borneo in the summer of 2023. This was a harsh slap in the face for Choi Kang-hee. Pato played for Taishan for one and a half years, appearing in 20 games and contributing 4 goals + 3 assists. Some fans commented, "Pato's highlight was the penalty he scored against Guoan in the 2023 FA Cup, but his performance was otherwise lackluster." "He is basically locked in as one of the weakest foreign forwards in our history!" "Since 2011, this is the worst…

After the New Year's Day battles, the CBA rankings are in chaos once again! Liaoning suffered a crushing defeat on the road against Beijing, ending their four-game winning streak. They have been double-killed by Beijing this season and currently sit in fifth place. The main reason for Liaoning's defeat last night was the lack of players, coupled with the fact that the two veterans were too exhausted, and the big foreign aid did not play. After Beijing's victory, they rose to seventh place! Another intense matchup was between Xinjiang and Shandong. The game was fiercely contested, with Zhao Rui being ejected for striking a referee. A total of 62 fouls and 7 technical fouls were called, with 2 players being ejected and 2 players fouling out, making it a brutal battle. After Xinjiang's loss, they dropped from fourth to sixth place, while Shandong soared to third in the league after their victory. In another exciting match, Guangdong defeated their nemesis Tianjin at home, but their ranking remained unchanged, still at ninth place. Guangdong was triple-killed by Tianjin last season, but they successfully completed their revenge in this game. Although they almost suffered a comeback by Tianjin in the end, Du Runwang's crucial three-pointer saved the team. In another match, Guangsha won convincingly against Gongzuo, maintaining their firm hold on first place in the league, unshakable by the wind. Guangzhou, on the other hand, fell to the third-to-last spot, with no hope of making the playoffs this season.

In the CBA league, selecting foreign players is definitely a science and a technical skill that not only tests the vision of the team management but also the team's channels. The most skilled at selecting foreign players in the CBA are undoubtedly Shanxi and Zhejiang teams. These two teams not only have extremely rich foreign player resources and smooth channels but also have sufficient financial resources from their clubs and the unique vision of their management. This season, with the foreign players playing four quarters and seven times, the importance of foreign players has been further enhanced, and Shanxi and Zhejiang's rankings have stabilized in the top four of the league. There is such a team whose foreign player resources are not the best, but relying on the operation of the club, they have won 12 games out of 14 in the second stage. After defeating Xinjiang, the team also made a five-game winning streak to impact the top three of the standings, which is Shandong team. At the beginning of the season, there were actually some problems with their foreign player structure. Gali and Wiggins did not have stable shooting, and Chris was difficult to control his temper, and they lost five games in the whole first stage. The club was also very decisive in killing. When Wiggins was injured, they decisively cut Wiggins and introduced Moore, who excels in shooting, and supplemented the inside line with Kumajie, a center with a height of 221cm as the fourth foreign aid. This operation now seems to be a divine operation,…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the "New Year's Day Battle" between Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team and Shandong Men's Basketball Team witnessed one of the most intense moments in the CBA this season and possibly the last decade. Zhao Rui, after attempting a layup, angrily confronted the referee and was subsequently ejected from the game for colliding with the official. It is rare to see a player physically assault a referee in the CBA, despite instances of player fights and fan conflicts. While it is true that Zhao Rui was fouled right in front of the referee, who should not have overlooked it, Zhao Rui's impulsive action crossed a line, potentially leading to severe consequences for Xinjiang. According to reports from journalists, Zhao Rui may face a six-game suspension and a 200,000 yuan fine post-match. Zhao Rui's unnecessary physical contact with the referee could be subject to CBA disciplinary rules. If judged under Article 25 of Chapter 1 of Section 2 of the CBA Disciplinary Code, which stipulates a suspension of 1-3 games and a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 yuan for intentional unnecessary physical contact with a referee, the situation could escalate. Under Article 28 of the same chapter and section, a first offense could result in a suspension of 3-6 games and a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. In particularly serious cases, a player could lose their eligibility for the season or even be suspended for a year. Zhao Rui's direct confrontation with the referee could be deemed "particularly serious," warranting a potential one-year suspension. However, considering the…

The highly anticipated second stage of the CBA regular season has been full of intense battles. In a recent focus match, the dark horse Shandong men's basketball team ended Xinjiang's home winning streak with an away victory of 111-107, drawing attention from fans. In this game, Shandong faced unfavorable refereeing but managed to end Xinjiang's home winning streak in a tough away match. The strongest "secret weapon" of Shandong, Yu Dehao, delivered a surprising performance on the offensive end. According to statistics, Yu Dehao came off the bench for 25 minutes, scoring 11 points with 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal, shooting 3 out of 9 and making both free throws. However, most of his three-point shots were crucial, and his plus-minus value of +20 was the highest in the game. Coach Qiubiao led Shandong to a miraculous victory, giving the team a chance to compete for the championship. At the beginning of the game, Xinjiang's main guard Zhao Rui was sent off for colliding with the referee, but both teams still showed a high level of competitive spirit. However, as the game entered the decisive moment, Shandong seemed to encounter unfavorable controversial calls. Unfavorable situations for Shandong occurred frequently, such as Gaili's 2+1 not being awarded, Tao Hanlin's foul turning into a personal turnover, and Guo Kai's clean steal resulting in 6 fouls and a free throw for Xinjiang. These controversial calls put great pressure on Shandong. However, under Qiubiao's leadership, the team remained united and responded with more active defense and counterattacks. Due to Yu Dehao's subpar…
