Recently, young power forward Zhang Mingchi, who was demoted by Guangdong Southern Tigers, has been recalled from the development league, but Du Feng still did not give him a chance to play. The club is currently considering trading Zhang Mingchi in exchange for players that the team needs more. If the candidate is satisfactory, Guangdong is even willing to add other players besides Zhang Mingchi. The 22-year-old Zhang Mingchi has played for Guangdong for four seasons, but he has only played 17 games this season. His father's recent post "forcing the club" also led to Zhang Mingchi being demoted to the CBDL development league for a period of time. It can be said that without the family's actions, he would have gradually become a marginal figure in the team. Such family interference is something every club dislikes. Additionally, Zhang Mingchi is still young and is under a Class B contract, making him an ideal player type for trade chips. It is expected that Guangdong will use Zhang Mingchi as one of the chips to exchange for a young and promising forward player. There are many candidates, such as Zou Yang from Fujian and Chen Guohao from Beikong. However, Zhang Mingchi alone is not enough. Guangdong currently has many young players at their disposal, so they can easily make a multiple-for-one trade. Zhang Mingchi's departure is only a matter of time. The second piece of good news comes from Liaoning Flying Leopards. Tomorrow night, Liaoning will face Guangsha, the league leader, away from home. This is indeed a tough challenge for…

In the CBA this season, a team that possesses the following characteristics is undoubtedly a strong contender. What are these characteristics? Characteristic One: Vigorous domestic players. The policy of allowing seven foreign player appearances across four quarters accelerates the physical exhaustion of players during the first three quarters of the game. With more foreign players and a faster pace, greater stamina is required. This is also why Liaoning Men's Basketball Team struggles in the fourth quarter this season; the "Two Elders of Xuanming" are too exhausted after the first three quarters. Characteristic Two: Foreign players with exceptional individual abilities. In the fourth quarter, when only one foreign player is allowed on the court, their level will to some extent determine the direction of the game. After all, there aren't many domestic players with the "big heart." Characteristic Three: Domestic players capable of consistently scoring. In games dominated by foreign players, teams will naturally focus their defensive strategies on the opposing foreign players. If domestic players can capitalize on the attention drawn by the foreigners and have outstanding scoring capabilities, the team's points won't be lacking. Otherwise, they won't score. Considering these factors, the three strongest teams in the CBA this season are as follows: First Team: Shanghai Men's Basketball Team Shanghai's domestic lineup is young, with Li Tianrong and Li Hongquan under 25 years old, and Wang Zhelin at just 31. Moreover, he can consistently score effectively. Foreign players Lofton and Bradley are NBA-level athletes with outstanding individual abilities, making them perfect for critical scoring roles in the fourth quarter.…

They now firmly occupy the 6th position in the league standings, just one step away from the 4th place.

Currently, in the CBA league standings, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has maintained their 6th position with…

Recently, in a match against Qingdao, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team suffered a heartbreaking reversal - victory seemed within reach, but they collapsed in the last three minutes, making continuous mistakes and unable to seize the critical moments. The regret of this game is not just a single defeat, but it also exposed the hidden dangers that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has always faced: psychological fragility and lack of depth in personnel. All of this became even more serious after the news broke that Zhang Zhenlin would be out for the season. The team's front line was already stretched thin, and now without Zhang Zhenlin, a core player, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team finds itself in an even deeper predicament. So, facing injuries and pressure, can Liaoning Men's Basketball Team still overcome difficulties and return to its peak? Zhang Zhenlin, as the core of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's front line, has shown great potential in the past seasons. Since the 2021-2022 season, Zhang Zhenlin has become an important member of the team, and at times he has been seen as the hope for the team's future. Especially in the series against Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, he used a brilliant performance of 25 points to completely break the prejudice against him as "young," proving his explosive power and growth potential in critical moments. At that time, Zhang Zhenlin was undoubtedly the "pillar" of the team's front line. However, with his current injury, he leaves the team not only with regret but also with a huge void. The past highlights seem to have become…

Shanghai Sharks Men's Basketball Team's Problems Are Beginning to Surface Recently, the Shanghai Sharks men's basketball team has suffered two consecutive defeats, particularly a disheartening 100-111 loss to the Shanxi team, leaving fans feeling uneasy. The glory of their winning streak is still fresh in everyone's mind, so why did they falter when faced with tough competition? This article discusses where the problems lie for the Sharks and offers some suggestions for the team. At the beginning of this season, the Shanghai Sharks' performance was like a roller coaster ride, almost finishing at the bottom in the first stage before winning an impressive 16 games in the second stage. However, the good times didn't last long, as the team struggled when facing strong opponents. Last night's game against Shanxi saw Lofton return in good form, but they still lost. It's worth considering why a team that just set a winning streak record appears less confident when encountering stronger adversaries. When it comes to foreign players, it's a significant topic in the CBA. Although Diawara isn't well-known, he was an all-around warrior in last night's game, scoring 25 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, assisting 7 times, and blocking 4 shots in just 28 minutes, with an efficiency that commands respect. In contrast, Shanghai's foreign players, Hawkins and Wilson, combined for only 6 points, a stark difference. It seems that selecting foreign players should prioritize actual ability over reputation. Looking at the domestic players, the team has indeed made progress under Lu Wei's leadership, especially in terms of teamwork and individual skills. However,…

The Shanghai men's basketball team has been able to go on a northern campaign in the second stage, moving from the bottom of the league to the top 12 playoff spots. This is not only due to the super foreign aid Lofton but also closely related to the "Li Hua brothers," Li Tianrong and Li Hongquan, who have both played their career-best this season. However, for the guard line with a lower tolerance rate, if Li Tianrong's state cannot be guaranteed, it will be difficult for Shanghai to compete with some strong teams. In the recent away game against Shanxi, which Shanghai lost by 11 points, Li Tianrong can be considered the "culprit" of the team's defeat. Throughout the game, he played for 25 minutes, missing all 10 shots (including 0-for-7 from three-point range) and scoring no points, with a team-worst plus/minus value of -22. Fans bluntly say: "Revealing his true colors." Despite knowing that he was cold-handed, Lu Wei still let Li Tianrong play for a full 10 minutes in the final quarter, during which he did not repay the coaching staff's trust with any action, going 0-for-4 in that quarter. As the current domestic backcourt core of the Shanghai men's basketball team, Li Tianrong's state, to a certain extent, also determines how far Shanghai can go in the playoffs. Unlike most teams where small foreign players occupy the absolute core, Shanghai relies on the big foreign player Lofton as the axis. Due to Blackney's failure to show up, they eventually gave up on Waters, who had average performance,…

The intensity on the court increased, with scores tightly contested until the final moments when the outcomes were decided. The games were incredibly thrilling, delighting the spectators. Let's review two standout matches! Shanxi's Big Win Over Shanghai: In the first quarter, Shanxi took the lead, while Shanghai's Lofton played confidently on offense. After a rest, he returned to the court and scored in his first three attempts. Shanxi quickly adjusted their defense, double-teaming Lofton, leading to more turnovers. While Bledsoe rested, Wilson struggled during his five-minute stint, missing shots and changing his mentality. The first quarter ended with Shanxi leading 22-20 over Shanghai. In the second quarter, Shanghai experienced a scoring drought, allowing Shanxi to go on a 12-3 run. Coach Liu Wei called a timeout, after which Shanghai scored five quick points. It was then Shanxi's turn to call a timeout as Shanghai closed the gap to one point with Bledsoe's two three-pointers. Shanxi responded by bringing in Goodwin to push the pace and create fast-break opportunities. Liu Zheng assisted Wang Zhelin for a layup, but Wang missed an easy basket, acknowledging his mistake to his teammates. Li Tianrong missed a three-pointer, while Bledsoe grabbed an offensive rebound and made a layup, drawing a foul and converting both free throws. Wilson missed an open three-pointer, but Diarra scored with a mid-range shot. Bledsoe hit another three-pointer, leaving Shanghai trailing…

On January 17th, Beijing time, the 32nd round of the CBA regular season kicked off with a comprehensive competition. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team faced off against the strong Shanghai Men's Basketball Team at home. The intense matchup between the two teams was full of highlights, with the score tightly contested and constantly changing. In the first quarter, Lofton's offensive performance was unstoppable, and no one on the Shanxi team could better defend him. Lofton dribbled past half court and drew a foul from the opponent, making one of two free throws. On the other end, Tianrong also committed a foul, sending Zhang Ning to the free throw line. Both teams frequently went to the free throw line, making the game very fragmented. Young player Xie Liyong had some bright moments in organizing the offense, but Diao's three-pointer missed. Xie Liyong grabbed the defensive rebound, and Lofton's fast break layup was blocked by the opponent. Lofton then made two consecutive turnovers, with the ball going in and out of bounds. Both teams played somewhat chaotically on the court, but it was Diao who eventually hit a mid-range shot. Wilson's three-pointer also missed, and the first quarter ended with Shanxi leading 22-20 over Shanghai. In the second quarter, Lofton remained on the court and passed the ball to Wilson for a dunk attempt that was blocked by Diao. Diao then scored two points and drew a foul on Lofton. Shanxi's offense gained momentum, and Liu Wei replaced Wilson with Bradsoe, who immediately made a turnover. Diao quickly scored again. Shanxi then went…

Shanghai's Away Defeat! After the Game, Lu Wei's Words Lifted Spirits Jixue Peak January 16, 2025 04:57 Follow 01 Shanghai Men's Basketball Team Honored in Defeat In the game against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team eventually lost, which is a bit of a pity. However, it can be seen that the players of Shanghai Men's Basketball Team were very hardworking, showing great enthusiasm and fighting spirit, and were particularly serious and focused on the game. Although their 16-game winning streak came to an end, such performance is still worthy of praise! 02 Post-game Summary: Honored in Defeat After the game, Lu Wei, the head coach of Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, said: I am quite satisfied with everyone's performance throughout the game. Although we lost, I think it's a good thing because we faced the defending champion Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, and this kind of game presents both opportunities and challenges. Although we had a 16-game winning streak before, in such an important game, Lofton couldn't play due to injury, which had a significant impact on us. Although everyone tried their best, we were still short of an attacking point. If there were more options, the outcome of the game might have been different. 03 Team Effort to Overcome Difficulties Lofton played well in 16 games before, and many tactics were designed for him. Now that he is not here, the team's tactics will definitely be affected, but this is not the main reason for our loss. Injuries are also part of the game, and every team will…
