Currently, the CBA regular season is in full swing. The CBA landscape this season has changed compared to previous years, with teams like Guangsha Men's Basketball, Zhejiang Men's Basketball, Shanxi Men's Basketball, and Xinjiang Men's Basketball emerging as strong contenders due to adjustments in the foreign player policy. These teams have significantly enhanced their competitiveness through the addition of foreign players, resulting in a fierce competition among many teams. Shanghai Men's Basketball had a poor start to the new season, only managing one victory in the first stage of the regular season. However, with the return of Wang Zhelin and the addition of NBA-level foreign player Lofton in the second stage, the team has undergone a qualitative change, achieving an 11-game winning streak and becoming the best-performing team in the second stage. Shanghai Men's Basketball also has the potential to challenge for the championship with its current lineup strength. Liu Zheng, a player for Shanghai Men's Basketball, is considered one of the top 3D players in the CBA. At 34 years old, he is an important part of the team despite not having much playing time. He averages over 10 points per game and is known as a leading figure in island basketball. Liu Zheng possesses good three-point shooting ability and outstanding defensive skills, often tasked with guarding the opposing team's top foreign players. In his prime, Liu Zheng averaged nearly 20 points, making him a true All-Star level player. Having played in the CBA for nearly 10 years, his net worth has reached the tens of millions, making him…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the 24th round of the 2024/25 CBA regular season concluded with a total of 8 intense matches. Among them, the focus was on Xinjiang's home victory over Beijing, Liaoning's home win against Guangdong, and Zhejiang Fangxingdu's home triumph over Qingdao. Additionally, Ningbo, Shandong, and Shanxi all secured victories at home, while only Shanghai managed to win away from home, extending their winning streak to 11 games. After this round of matches, Zhejiang Fangxingdu remains at the top of the standings, but their lead over second-placed Shanxi is not significant. Zhejiang Chouzhou achieved a remarkable 10-game winning streak in this round, propelling them into the top three. Meanwhile, Xinjiang dropped out of the top three after losing in the previous round but managed to stabilize their fourth position with a win in this round. Zhejiang Fangxingdu 103-89 Qingdao Guoxin Pharmaceutical: This match was also a highlight of the round, with Zhejiang Fangxingdu delivering an impressive performance at home to defeat Qingdao and avoid a second consecutive loss. Zhejiang Fangxingdu secured their 20th win of the season, accumulating 44 points to maintain their lead at the top of the standings.

Currently, the latest standings in the CBA are heating up, with fierce competition among the top four teams, especially Guangsha, Zhejiang, Shanxi, and Shandong, where almost every game can stir the hearts of fans. In particular, the Shanghai team, which was once somewhat depressed, has surprisingly burst out with a stunning ten-game winning streak, making everyone start paying attention to the playoff prospects of this dark horse team. As for the Shandong team? If you say they are a dark horse, I really believe it! This season's Shandong team has really surprised us from the beginning. First, let's take a look at the current standings. Guangsha is now firmly seated in first place with a record of 19 wins and 3 losses, accumulating 41 points. It seems that their strong performance will not be easily shaken. Zhejiang follows closely behind with 17 wins and 6 losses, accumulating 40 points. The gap between them and Guangsha is just one game's victory or defeat, and ranking second can also be considered one of the championship favorites. And ranked third is Shanxi, with 17 wins and 5 losses, accumulating 39 points. Their performance has definitely exceeded most people's expectations and has almost become one of the most unexpected teams this season. But when it comes to the Shandong team, you have to pay attention! Who would have thought that they, who ranked in the middle last season, could transform from a relatively inconspicuous team into a dark horse under the leadership of Qiu Biao? Shandong currently ranks fourth with 16 wins and 7…

After defeating Jilin with a score of 138-107, Shanghai's "Northern Expedition" continues, and the team has won eight consecutive victories, rising to 13th in the league, with the playoffs now within reach. When it comes to Shanghai, many fans first think of Wang Zhelin, who is the absolute core of the team. However, due to injuries this season, Wang Zhelin has not performed particularly well, averaging only 15.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 26.5 minutes per game, which is a new low in his career. Despite this, Shanghai has managed to win their last eight games, largely due to the addition of big foreign aid Lofton, who has become a new "big gun" in the CBA. Another key factor is the rise of young player Li Hongquan, who scored a career-high 34 points against Jilin. This season, Li Hongquan has averaged 14.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 steals in 35.7 minutes per game, providing significant help on both offense and defense. In the two years since joining Shanghai, Li Hongquan has transformed from a player averaging 4.9 points with inconsistent playing time into a top domestic frontcourt player averaging 14.9 points. His rise has reignited hope for Shanghai's future. It's worth noting that after experiencing the "sweet taste" of Zhang Zhenlin, former Liaoning general manager Li Hongqing was interested in helping Liaoning sign Li Hongquan, who was then playing for NCAA's Loyola University, to form a young front line with Zhang Zhenlin. Imagine if Liaoning had really signed Li Hongquan; would they be even more competitive today?

The CBA regular season has reached its 24th round, bringing both joy and sorrow to different teams. The change in foreign player usage rules has made the strengths and weaknesses of the league more apparent. Looking at the standings, the overall situation seems settled, with the top 12 teams largely in place. The CBA has effectively been divided into five tiers, with seven teams virtually eliminated early, five teams vying for the top spot, and another five competing for three spots in the top eight. Let's take a look at the breakdown: Fifth Tier: Fujian and Jiangsu Fujian has only managed one win so far, while Jiangsu has secured three victories. These two teams have little ambition and have already said goodbye to the playoffs. They can only fight for honor from here on out, as their overall strength is several levels below the other powerhouses. Fourth Tier: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Sichuan, Ningbo, and Tianjin Overall, these five teams are struggling hard for playoff spots. However, they all rely heavily on foreign players, with little support from their domestic players. When the foreign players are not performing well, losing is inevitable. Although it appears that these five teams have a chance to enter the playoffs, it is very difficult. After all, they are a level behind Tongxi, Beikong, Guangdong, and Shanghai. Honestly, these five teams are also virtually eliminated; let's wait and see! Third Tier: Jilin, Tongxi, and Beikong Jilin is currently outside the playoff positions, but with the return of Jiang Weize and Jiang Yuxing, Jilin will surely launch an…

The CBA regular season is about to enter a white-hot stage, with the rankings and performances of major strong teams attracting attention. The dynamic competition between this season's "dark horse" and traditional powerhouses is bringing unprecedented suspense to fans. Guangdong men's basketball team has risen strongly, while Liaoning men's basketball team has fallen to the second echelon due to lineup concerns. This story of "overtaking on the bend" is quietly unfolding. Guangdong men's basketball team has made a strong comeback this season, with the return of foreign aid Bazley becoming the key. He showed amazing talent on both offense and defense, scoring 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks against Ningbo, showing great potential. Core inside player Morand supports the system with his rim protection, rebounding, and playmaking abilities, while Jilunwater provides options with his ability to attack and shoot three-pointers, forming the strongest frontcourt combination in the CBA. With Hu Mingxuan's return from injury, the team's speed and offense will reach new heights, and Zhu Fangyu's pursuit of a small foreign aid reinforcement may become the finishing touch for the championship. Guangdong men's basketball team's depth and configuration advantages have established its status as a top-tier contender. Liaoning men's basketball team has had ups and downs this season, with core players Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin injured, seriously weakening their offensive and defensive transition capabilities, greatly reducing their overall performance. Big foreign aid Toure's poor performance has become a weakness, and the high-intensity support of the small foreign aid increases the risk of injury. Young players have not been…

From being on the fringes of the NBA to becoming a dominant force in the CBA, who could have imagined such a script? "When Lofton led the Shanghai men's basketball team to a remarkable 10 consecutive victories, improving their record to 11 wins and 10 losses, such sentiments echoed continuously among fans. A power forward standing only 1.98 meters tall has unleashed an unprecedented 'Lofton Storm' in the CBA. Speaking of the recent 'box office draw' in the CBA, it is none other than the Shanghai men's basketball team. The rise of the Shanghai men's basketball team can be considered the most unexpected turn of events this season. They have leapt from the bottom of the league to become the 11th-ranked strong team, and it all started with Lofton's joining. Prior to his arrival, the Shanghai team had average performances, but Lofton's presence was like a breath of fresh air, rejuvenating the team. He had few opportunities to showcase himself in the NBA, but the CBA provided him with a vast stage. His low-post moves, dribble penetration, and playmaking passes have made the Shanghai team's offense invincible. Lofton's playing style aligns perfectly with the rhythm of the CBA. No longer constrained by the fast pace of the NBA, he is able to fully display his skills. Each of his offensive choices is spot-on, whether facing the basket or with his back to it, he always scores in the most effective way possible. His passing is incredibly precise, making the Shanghai team's offense flow like clouds and water, scoring as if…

After two days of fierce competition, the CBA season has concluded its 23rd round. It is believed that due to it being the weekend, this round saw several intense matchups, with the most attention-grabbing being the match between Liaoning and Xinjiang, who faced each other in last season's finals. Additionally, the game between this season's rising star Shanxi team and the league leaders Guangsha team at home also attracted considerable interest; Shanghai team, currently on a strong upward trend, is believed to have also drawn significant attention in their home game against Beikong. Below, let's review the results of this round and the subsequent points ranking situation. First, let's look at the focus match of this round, the game between Liaoning and Xinjiang teams. In this game, Liaoning took advantage of their home court and unleashed a full offensive in the first quarter. Midway through, Wells scored consecutively, and Liaoning launched a 15-2 run, quickly expanding their lead to over 10 points. Liaoning led 33-21 over Xinjiang by 12 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, both sides played evenly, with Liaoning once establishing a 20-point lead.

The Hope of Winning the Championship! Is Blackney the Most Suitable Forward Foreign Aid for Guangdong Team? The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continues, with a focus on the fierce battle between the strong Guangdong men's basketball team and the dark horse Jilin team. In the end, the stronger Guangdong team defeated Jilin with a score of 106-65, thanks to the outstanding performance of Xu Jie, Gillette, Morand, Huang Rongqi and other main players. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Guangdong's main small foreign aid Les still scored no points. In the same round of games, the defending champion Liaoning team's new aid Wells scored 50 points to lead the team to victory, while Diawara from Shanxi, Brown from Guangsha, and Samna from Sichuan also scored close to 50+ points. This undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Guangdong, and in the future Zhu Fangyu must introduce stronger small foreign aid in order to compete with these championship contenders. In fact, even after introducing Bezley and Les, Guangdong's current four foreign aid lineup still has huge problems. Among them, Morand and Bezley are defensive foreign aids, lacking qualified and stable ball-handling ability on the offensive end. In addition, Gillette's physical fitness and style of play can only be used as the third foreign aid. Les' personal ability is currently unable to meet Guangdong's playoff requirements, and in the future Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng must introduce new scoring-type swingman foreign aid. Many fans believe that Blackney, the former starting forward foreign aid of the CBA League…

This game was a lesson for Jilin, with Shanghai winning 138-107, a score that made it seem like they were tutoring the opposition. Shanghai's victory extended their winning streak to eight games, and although their season record stands at 9 wins and 10 losses, this match showcased their impressive momentum and form. The highlight of the game was undoubtedly Li Hongquan's 34 points, an achievement that delighted fans. His scoring efficiency was remarkable, with 10 out of 14 shots made, including 5 out of 8 three-pointers and 9 out of 10 free throws. He also contributed in rebounds, assists, and steals, making him a versatile player for Shanghai. Li Hongquan's potential is significant, as evidenced by his CBA performances, which indicate he could excel at higher levels. Fans and commentators have praised his ability to create threats in attack and maintain defensive strength, qualities that make him ideal for the national team amidst current injuries to key players like Zhang Zhenlin and Cui Yongxi. If Li Hongquan can maintain his current form, he may become a key player for the national team in international competitions. This game was not only a victory for Shanghai but also a personal milestone for Li Hongquan, highlighting his potential and value. If he continues to perform at this level, he could become a strong force for China's national basketball team in the future.
