Recently, during a match between Guangdong Hongyuan and Shandong High-Speed teams, an astonishing scene unfolded. It is common knowledge that in the final moments of the fourth quarter, every team would strive to secure victory. However, both Guangdong's head coach Du Feng and Shandong's head coach Qiu Biao seemed uninterested in winning. Specifically, with just over two minutes left in the game, most believed that Guangdong, leading by 9 points, would easily win. But Guangdong suddenly lost their rhythm, as if they had become a different team. Xu Jie was intercepted by Yu Dehao, reducing the lead to 5 points. Mordand also made a passing error, followed by Zhang Haojia, who could have secured a stable three-pointer but instead stepped on the line and shot a long two-pointer. Shandong's response was equally interesting. Qiu Biao replaced the best-performing Gali with Chris, who missed an easy layup after Mordand's mistake, which could have narrowed the gap and potentially won the game for Shandong. This strange scenario where neither team wanted to score or win suggests something amiss with both Guangdong and Shandong. However, I suspect that behind this lies Du Feng and Qiu Biao's grand strategy for their teams' future. Considering the players' usual stability, their performance in this game suggests more than simple mistakes. This reminds me of a classic line from the 1979 Soviet film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," where the beautiful Liu Jia asks her colleague why generals' wives are old and ugly, to which the colleague replies that one must marry a lieutenant and endure…

Guangdong, playing at home, engaged in their second fierce battle with the Shandong men's basketball team this new season. Despite being short-handed in the backcourt, the team ultimately secured victory over Shandong by a margin of 5 points, thanks to the strong performances of Xu Jie and two big foreign players, as well as Du's miraculous use of personnel. In this game, Shandong also faced injury issues; Gali was unable to play in the final quarter due to a knee injury, which was one of the reasons for their defeat. In this match, Xu Jie had a hot hand, scoring 6 out of 8 three-pointers and accumulating 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 11 assists throughout the game. His performance was comparable to that of a top-tier small foreign player. Xu Jie remained calm under pressure; despite Chris' attempts to unsettle him with unsportsmanlike actions, Xu Jie did not react. Even after being roughly taken down twice, Xu Jie chose to respond on the court, earning a perfect score in his post-game evaluation. Wu, Morland, Du Runwang, Ren Junfei, Huang Rongqi, and Zhang Haofa, who hit a crucial long two-pointer at the end, were all key contributors to Guangdong's victory. Morland fought hard, recording 8 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks, completely filling up the stat sheet. Against Shandong, Guangdong's biggest advantage lay in their interior game. Although Shandong had two big foreign players, Chris and Kumajie, as well as Tao Hanlin, their high-paid center, they fell short against Wu and Old Mo. Tao Hanlin had no…

On January 6th, the CBA league will feature six major battles. From the perspective of competing for the top four spots in the league, aside from the matches between Beikong and Jilin, Shenzhen versus Guangdong (both teams from the same province), and Tianjin hosting Shanghai, which are expected to have minimal impact on the current top four standings, the other three games could significantly influence the upcoming rankings in the CBA league. These include Beijing BAW facing Ningbo away, Liaoning hosting Zhejiang Guangsha, and Shandong High-Speed hosting Tongxi at home. Judging by the overall strength of their opponents, the Shandong team led by coach Qiubiao is the most likely candidate to replace Xinjiang and re-enter the top three of the league. For Beikong, they suffered a one-point defeat in their first encounter with Jilin. Coupled with their current luxurious lineup and consecutive losses, the team is under considerable pressure, especially their head coach Min Lulei, who has faced much criticism. After losing to an undermanned Zhejiang Chouzhou team, Beikong, once hailed as the team with the greatest hope for the top four in the new season, has turned out to be the most disappointing team for fans. Despite having a well-rounded roster with an enviable frontcourt, Beikong struggles to play fluidly against any opponent and finds it hard to decisively win games. The use of players by coach Min has also been questioned, along with the psychological impact of the one-point loss to Jilin in their first match. Whether they can defeat Jilin during the injury period of Liao Sanning…

The recent state of Guangsha men's basketball team has really delighted the fans. They continue to firmly occupy the top spot in the CBA standings with a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, as stable as a nail. In this round of matches, Guangsha easily defeated Guangzhou team without any suspense. Victory was like picking up a sheep on the side, incidentally giving Guangzhou team a lesson. You know, this victory is not only about extending their winning streak, but more importantly, they have just introduced Boban, an inside giant who is 2.24 meters tall! As soon as this guy arrived in Hangzhou, the fans began to look forward to it. After all, such a big guy, who wouldn't want to expect his debut? Guangsha's dominance has also forced other teams to step up their efforts, especially Shandong men's basketball team, whose recent performance has been quite surprising! Who would have thought that Shandong team could defeat Xinjiang team away from home in this round of matches, not only ending Xinjiang team's unbeaten home record, but also propelling themselves from sixth place to third! Currently, Shandong men's basketball team has a record of 18 wins and 7 losses, closely following Guangsha and Shanxi. The rise of this dark horse team is really surprising and admirable. Some netizens say: The young guys from Shandong are so energetic. Their sudden rise is astonishing. Originally thought they were just accompanying runners-up, but unexpectedly they soared high, simply becoming the biggest dark horse of this season. Honestly, the recent sense of counterattack by…

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…

On the night of January 4th, it's not just Chris who lost face, but the entire Shandong men's basketball team! Netizens hotly debated and pointed out incisively: The Shandong men's basketball team has been like this for many games with Chris. This person must have some problems in his mind; he doesn't come to play basketball but to fight, with extremely unstable emotions, and he gets angry at the slightest provocation. After watching the video, they didn't even take over the game. What if other teams imitate this approach next time when dealing with small players? The professional level of CBA referees is not as good as our high school teachers back then. Moreover, Gao Shiyan's playing style is really helpless. On the offensive end, he holds the ball for a long time, just passing back and forth outside the three-point line, rarely seeing him pass the ball inside the three-point line. It feels like ineffective passes that basically don't threaten the opponent's defense. Chris was once the eighth pick, but now in his prime, he can't stay in the NBA to play, which must be due to his own reasons. This kind of behavior in the game is probably one of them. Chris is really brainless, and such a player can't be relied upon. Since he doesn't want to play, the Shandong general manager should suspend him for a few games, even Coach Qiu can't stand it! For this foul, will Qiu Biao still appeal and pay the fine for him? All I can say is that Zhao Rui…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team Defeats Shandong Express, Fans Question the Outcome but Fall Silent Upon Learning the Reasons Guangdong men's basketball team defeated Shandong Express, and fans who were dissatisfied with the result asked questions, but fell silent after learning the reasons. Netizens hotly debated and pointed out incisively and vividly: In the fourth quarter, Shandong only scored four points in seven or eight minutes, without making substitutions or timeouts. In the third quarter, they even used a small player to defend the inside line, not just once. For Shandong men's basketball team, finding a small foreign aid who can hold the ball and score is the key. Yu Dehao can still barely hold on for now, but once he gets injured or takes a break, you won't be able to win against Ningbo. In the fourth quarter, Qiu Biao's substitutions were somewhat confusing. Hou Peizuo, who was useless, stayed on the court for a long time, and Moore, who had extremely low efficiency, was not replaced, resulting in an increasingly deep pit. When Shandong men's basketball team needed to snatch points, they still did not play Gali Chen Peidong, sticking to the rigid tactic of hard finding Chris, which was a mess. This is Qiu Biao's weakness, which was clearly demonstrated last year in Xinjiang. There were no problems in the first two quarters, but starting from the third quarter, it began to falter, and every time it reached the fourth quarter, he wouldn't know how to command. Jilunwote and Bazley really can't handle high-level games; with just a…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team Defeats Shandong Express! The Truth is Finally Revealed, Even More Hair-Raising! Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that Guangdong Men's Basketball Team did a great job in the fourth quarter with their zone defense, which Shandong Express could not break. Without Guo Kai, the interior was basically useless, yet they managed to play this well, whereas in the past, Shandong lost by at least 10 points when playing away against Guangdong. Although Guangdong won, it is suggested that the current foreign players should be reshuffled, with all three being cut. Some fans of Shandong seem to have an unknown mentality; when they lose, they blame it on letting water in or the referees, or accuse the opposing players of malicious fouls, but they never admit their own poor performance. It's just one or two losses, where do all these excuses come from? Shandong didn't perform well in this game? Without Guo Kai in the interior, Morland is not good at anything else, but he is excellent in defense and facilitation. He is much bigger than Chris and limited him in this game, so the loss was normal. During the scoring chase, there were two players on Shandong's court with an average of only a few points each. There was another player with an average of less than 5 points. This is what a professional coach does, sending out the lineup at a critical moment. The last quarter was inexplicable, with many fast-break opportunities, but they just recklessly threw up three-pointers without grabbing rebounds. What's going…

Refusal to shake hands! Xu Jie expresses dissatisfaction after the game! Du Feng no longer shirks responsibility, speaks out publicly for Xu Jie! 98-93, Guangdong men's basketball team defeated the Shandong men's basketball team with a strong momentum at home! The moment the final whistle sounded, Xu Jie, sitting at the end of the bench, turned around and headed straight for the locker room! He, who is usually low-key, modest, and polite, this time refused to shake hands with the opponent after the game! To be honest, this scene is very rare. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the first time in Xu Jie's career that he refused to shake hands with the opponent after the game! So, what made Xu Jie make such a move? Personally, I think there are two reasons! The first point is very obvious, which is because of Chris' foul on him in the third quarter. From the slow-motion replay, Chris' action was completely a malicious foul aimed at the person, and the severity was enough to be expelled on the spot! But Xu Jie did not respond excessively during the game process. After getting up from the ground, he didn't even look at Chris, then executed two free throws and one throw, scoring five points in a row! Using Xu Jie's words to respond to Chris, it should be "Leave the foul to you, take the victory away"! If the first point is because of dissatisfaction with the opponent's foul, then the second point is dissatisfaction with his own and the team's performance!…
