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…

Another defeat, another crushing loss, Guangdong men's basketball team lost to Shanghai men's basketball team away from home, with a gap of 34 points. Adding the first round of 33 points, Guangdong team lost 67 points in two rounds, which is embarrassing. Although Guangdong team's current strength is definitely not as good as Shanghai team's, the process is so ugly that fans are definitely dissatisfied. The game can be lost, but the fighting spirit cannot be lost. What's worse is the conflict between the coach and the players, which is the most fatal. In the first quarter of the game, Jilunwote was distracted in defense, Du Feng replaced him and scolded him. Jilunwote is not a domestic player, he can't stand it, retorted, and made an internationally recognized obscene gesture to Du Feng, which everyone understands. As a result, it will definitely be "revenge" by Du Feng, directly benched, not allowed to play. Rather than let the team lose, the coach's authority cannot be challenged. Undoubtedly, this is a double loss situation. After the game, Du Feng confirmed the contradiction between the two at the press conference. He responded to the reason why Jilunwote was DNP: he had problems (provoking me), so he didn't play in the second half. Du Feng's anger tonight is very big. Not only did he scold Jilunwote, one of the main players, but also Xu Jie, another main player. I don't know what happened to Du Feng today. Without these two people, you would have been fired long ago. You don't even know how to…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Team defeated Guangdong Men's Basketball Team with a score of 115-81, ending Guangdong's nine-game winning streak and achieving a double kill for the season. The two games resulted in a combined victory margin of 77 points, demonstrating a clear dominance. There isn't much to say about this match; Shanghai comprehensively overwhelmed Guangdong, leaving them with no ability to fight back. It was like the script of Chang Wei beating Lai Fu. Guangdong only managed to resist at the beginning with a 9-0 run but collapsed after being overtaken. Shanghai remained calm when trailing and stable when leading, showing the qualities of a champion. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game. Cantonese media: "It's a pity that the nine-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, just one win short of reaching double digits. However, there are still obvious shortcomings in the current Guangdong team. They lack a good small foreign aid, limiting their competitiveness. Bazley wasted too many opportunities; his individual play simply doesn't work! It's inexplicable why Jilunwater didn't play, and they ended up losing by a large margin to the strong Shanghai team, which was completely reasonable! Don't worry too much about the data; go home, get a good night's sleep, and recover as soon as possible." Shanghai media: "The last time Shanghai men's basketball team completed a double kill against Guangdong in both home and away games during a single season regular season was during the championship-winning season of 2001-2002, which was exactly 24 years ago!" Shanxi media: "Shanghai…

In the CBA regular season, the Guangdong team, which had won nine consecutive victories, faced off against the recently strong Shanghai team away from home. At the beginning of the game, Xu Jie made a steal and scored under the basket, followed by another successful shot under the basket. Du Runwang hit a three-pointer, starting with a 9-0 run, while the Shanghai team was scoreless for more than two minutes. Wang Zhelin and Morand got tangled up in their arms, almost leading to a conflict. Liu Zheng and Li Hongquan successively hit key three-pointers. Wang Zhelin grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a strong two points against Morand, overtaking the score and launching a 10-0 scoring wave. Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, showing excellent personal form. Lovett made a fast-break dunk, Bazley hit a crucial three-pointer. Wilson also hit a three-pointer, and Du Feng replaced Xu Jie, scolding him for his unsatisfactory performance. Du Feng remains strict with the CBA's top vote-getter. Li Hongquan and Lovett continued to hit three-pointers, and Wilson hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer. At the end of the first quarter, the Guangdong team trailed 23-31. Li Hongquan scored 15 points with 4 out of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, performing outstandingly. Li Tianrong scored a layup to extend the lead to double digits. Bradley scored a 2+1 against Xu Jie, demonstrating his experience. Xu Jie turned around and hit a key three-pointer, but Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, making it unstoppable. Bazley went on a shooting spree outside the three-point line, playing unreasonably. Jilunwalt didn't play…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Dominates Guangdong Men's Basketball! Xu Jie Targeted, Bazley Without Three-Pointers, Jilun Wat Injured The Shanghai men's basketball team faces off against the Guangdong men's basketball team in a home match! In the first game, Shanghai won by a large margin of 33 points. Returning to their home court for this match, they have no reason to lose and must secure a double kill. Guangdong is at a disadvantage and will need to rely on their three-point shooting to achieve revenge, as it will be difficult to win otherwise. In the first quarter, Guangdong trails Shanghai by 8 points with a score of 23-31. Guangdong took the lead initially with a 9-0 start. Shanghai then responded with a 10-0 run. Following this, Guangdong was dominated by Shanghai on both offense and defense, being completely overwhelmed. Shanghai only needed to restrict Xu Jie to disrupt Guangdong's offensive flow. Their defense led to offense, counterattacks emerged, and accurate three-point shooting naturally widened the gap. In the second quarter, Guangdong continued to struggle with scoring, compounded by poor free-throw performance. They were unable to capitalize on easy points, leaving one to wonder who to blame. Shanghai's offense was also average, so the point difference did not increase significantly. Zhang Haofei had consecutive misses, while Bradsoe scored three points, bringing the difference to 12 points. Xu Jie finally hit a three-pointer, but Wilson threw the ball out of bounds, and Ren Junfei had consecutive misses as well. Both Wilson and Li Hongquan missed their three-point attempts, indicating that both teams were struggling…

On January 22nd, Beijing time, the CBA "Spring Festival Battle" ushered in a focus match, with Guangdong Hongyuan facing Shanghai men's basketball team. After four quarters of competition, Guangdong suffered a crushing defeat to Shanghai with a score of 81-115, ending their nine-game winning streak. Contrary to external expectations, the game lost its suspense from the first half, as Shanghai's offense was relentless while Guangdong struggled like constipation. Adding to the woes, Du Feng's self-destruction, due to an argument with foreign aid Jilunwote, led to his DNP (Did Not Play), prematurely abandoning the game, resulting in another crushing defeat for Guangdong against Shanghai. It is worth noting that in the previous matchup, Guangdong lost by a whopping 33 points, and with this defeat, Shanghai has won a total of 67 points over two games, leaving Guangdong fans in shock! In terms of data, Xu Jie from Guangdong scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists; Bazley had 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists; Morand contributed 5 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists; Zhang Wenyi scored 8 points with 6 assists; and Zhang Haojia had 6 points and 5 rebounds. On the Shanghai side, Li Hongquan scored 21 points, Li Tianrong had 17 points, Lofton contributed 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists; Liu Zheng scored 15 points; and Wang Zhelin had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Guangdong started the game very smoothly, scoring a 9-0 run against Shanghai. However, this turned out to be the only time Guangdong led in the first half. Shanghai quickly responded with an 11-2…

The 34th round of the CBA regular season continues, and we take a look at the latest changes in the standings. The main information is as follows: Xinjiang defeated Zhejiang Chouzhou 134-102 to maintain their top position, Liaoning won 123-119 in overtime against Shenzhen to secure a six-game winning streak, Zhejiang Dongguangyuan reversed Beijing 92-83, Beikong defeated Shanghai 120-111, Nanjing sent Ningbo to a ten-game losing streak with a 119-90 victory, Tianjin beat Sichuan 112-98, and Shanxi narrowly defeated Shandong 92-88. Xinjiang returned home to avenge their previous loss against Zhejiang Chouzhou with a 134-102 victory, securing their third consecutive win and continuing to lead over Liaoning. Li Yanzhe made a successful debut, scoring 25 points and 5 rebounds with 9 out of 12 shots and 7 out of 8 free throws. Jones easily contributed 24 points and 12 assists, Wu Guanxi scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, and A Budu had 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. This season's Xinjiang team has a deep lineup and is well-prepared. They are now waiting for Zhao Rui's return to create better chemistry and continue to improve. Zhejiang Chouzhou struggled with their shooting, with Cheng Shaipeng making only 5 out of 15 shots, Jones 1 out of 7, and Gaili 1 out of 10. With this loss, Zhejiang Chouzhou's record is tied with Guangdong and Zhejiang Dongguangyuan, temporarily ranking fifth. Liaoning fought hard in overtime to defeat Shenzhen 123-119 away from home, securing their sixth consecutive win. In regular time, He Xining scored an equalizing three-pointer, and in overtime, Liaoning's defense…

On January 22, Beijing time, the CBA regular season saw Shanghai men's basketball team defeat Guangdong men's basketball team to secure a two-game winning streak, ending Guangdong's nine-game winning streak. In the past 20 games, Shanghai has achieved an impressive record of 18 wins and 2 losses, quickly recovering from a brief two-game losing streak to win two consecutive victories. Shanghai led by 18 points in the first half, extended the lead to over 30 points in the third quarter, and entered garbage time early in the fourth quarter. In this game, in order to deal with the high-spirited Guangdong, Shanghai men's basketball team finally returned Lofton to the starting lineup, as it was crucial to seize the opening. Playing against a historically strong team like Guangdong requires suppression from the start. In the first quarter, Lofton lived up to expectations, scoring 7 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds on 4-of-2 shooting and 1-of-2 from three-point range. Li Hongquan became a trump card with three three-pointers in the first quarter, scoring 9 points, and Shanghai led by as many as 8 points. In the second quarter, Li Hongquan hit another three-pointer, Xu Jie missed a three-pointer but Liu Zheng responded with a fast-break basket to extend the lead to 14 points, forcing Du Feng to call a timeout. Ren Junfei's knee collided with Xue Bu, causing him to fall to the ground, fortunately without serious injury. Bei Zili hit a three-pointer, Zhang Wenyi scored a mid-range shot, and Liu Zheng responded with another three-pointer, forcing Du Feng to call another…

On January 21st, Beijing time, the CBA "Spring Festival Battle" reached a climax as Guangdong Hongyuan prepared to face the dark horse of the league, Shanghai Males, in an away game on Wednesday. Guangdong, who had recently won nine consecutive victories and were in excellent form, aimed to complete their revenge. However, Shanghai was no pushover; they had only lost three games throughout the second stage and had previously defeated Guangdong by a significant margin of 33 points. Facing Guangdong, Shanghai undoubtedly held a psychological advantage. It is worth noting that CCTV would not broadcast this highly anticipated match but instead chose to nationally broadcast another game between Shanxi and Nanjing. Undoubtedly, for Guangdong to win this game, they must restrict Shanghai's shooters. Given Guangdong's defensive capabilities, it is unrealistic to completely shut down Lofton; instead, they should focus on reducing the effectiveness of shooters like Li Hongquan and Li Tianrong. Lofton's influence on the game is akin to Jokic in the CBA, and Guangdong must cut off the connection between Lofton and Shanghai's shooters. They are willing to let Lofton take them on single-handedly rather than allow Shanghai's three-point shooters to become active. Of course, on top of solid defense, Guangdong's own shooters must also be resolute in shooting three-pointers and making them. To win against Shanghai, they cannot solely rely on defense; they must score more points than their opponents! Furthermore, for Guangdong to secure victory, the key lies in adequately preparing for the defensive strategies that Xu Jie will face. At present, Guangdong relies solely on Xu…

On January 22nd, the CBA regular season welcomes another peak period with five games taking place simultaneously. These matches include Beijing against Shenzhen, Guangzhou against Beikong, Shanghai against Guangdong, Zhejiang against Fujian, and Nanjing against Shanxi. There are several key games, and I will provide a brief pre-game analysis. Beijing has recently been performing poorly, having suffered three consecutive losses, even with the return of some key players. However, this time they face Shenzhen, which should be an easier matchup as their opponents have not yet demonstrated the capability to enter the playoffs. Beijing's advantage lies primarily with Zhou Qi, while Shenzhen, after losing Shen Zijie and Salinge, lacks a strong domestic center capable of carrying the team, making it difficult for them to defend against Zhou Qi's attacks. Additionally, Zeng Fanbo's athletic talent will exert significant pressure on the opponents. Interestingly, Zhou Peng has been in great form recently. As a former captain of the men's basketball team, Zeng Fanbo is considered a junior, and both players occupy the same position. It remains to be seen whether experience or talent will prevail. Shenzhen only has He Xining as a star-level guard, whereas Beijing has a wealth of available players. Of course, it is hoped that Fang Shuo does not repeat the low-level mistakes from the previous game, which ultimately cost them any chance of a comeback. The second key match is between Shanghai and Guangdong, both teams having achieved considerable success in the second stage with long winning streaks. Guangdong fought hard to secure a spot in the top…
