Translation of the article content into English: In the world of basketball, the relationship between players and teams is like a delicate web where one move affects the whole. The story between Zhao Rui and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team is just like that. Even though he has been away for two years, the controversies surrounding them have never ceased. Once upon a time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team and Shanghai Men's Basketball Team engaged in discussions about trading Zhao Rui. That was the season before Zhao Rui was sent to Xinjiang, and the negotiations at the trading table were filled with undercurrents. Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, considering their own interests, offered a high price, which ultimately became the key factor that prevented the trade from being concluded. As a result, both parties chose to continue their cooperation, allowing Zhao Rui to renew his contract and stay with Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. However, the gears of fate began to turn in the subsequent season. This time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team reached a deal with Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, sending Zhao Rui to Xinjiang while acquiring the signing rights for Zhou Qi. Zhao Rui's various actions after leaving, as well as some of his responses, are undoubtedly like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. When the fans of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team called out in anticipation for him to return soon, Zhao Rui bluntly replied, "Once I leave, I won't come back." Such a resolute response is like a cold sword, severing the last thread of warmth in the hearts of…

Currently, the Taishan team is training in Shanghai, and the team's recruitment work is also in full swing. The existing Wakko, Cressang, and Zecca will continue to stay with the team in the new season, and the team's midfield and backcourt will also buy people to strengthen their strength. It is reported that this time the team used its own connections in Brazil and did not blindly delegate power to Cui Kangxi. Compared to recruiting from the Korean league, Brazilian foreign aid with higher cost-effectiveness has become the first choice. According to media reports, Taishan team has basically confirmed two foreign players, namely Lucas and Madrugada, whose positions are central defender and defensive midfielder. Both of them are around 25 or 26 years old, with a value of between 600,000 and 700,000, which can be said to be in the prime of their lives and in excellent condition. Taishan team sent away Pato, Leonardo also confirmed to join Shanghai Port, Jadeson will also leave the team, so the team will complete the five foreign aid lineup. Such foreign aid strength is also among the best in the Chinese Super League, coupled with excellent domestic players and emerging young talents, the team is fully capable of challenging for the championship. Last season, after losing Sun Zhunhao, Moises, and Fellaini, the quality of foreign aid has not been strengthened. With only one truly healthy Wakko, it was decided that the team could not compete with top teams. This time, it is very necessary to strengthen the defensive midfielder and central defender positions.…

In the WCBA arena, several exciting matches have taken place. Let's start with Sichuan Women's Basketball Team's game. The match between Sichuan and Zhejiang was a complete blowout from start to finish. In the first quarter, Sichuan gave Zhejiang a harsh "welcome" by scoring an impressive 32 points. They were incredibly fierce! Zhejiang's offense couldn't get going at all, without even a decent counterattack. By halftime, Sichuan had already built a massive 26-point lead, giving the impression that they had secured the victory early on. In the second half, Sichuan continued their dominance, not only maintaining but also gradually expanding their lead. They ultimately won by a staggering 41-point margin, a truly crushing performance. Zhejiang could only cover their faces in defeat. Li Meng scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, but the team's overall performance was lackluster. Only Zhang Min (10 points) and Chen Yijun (11 points) managed to score in double digits, while the rest of the team was virtually invisible. On the other hand, Sichuan had a full team effort, playing with great intensity. Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Han Xu, Xiao Tong, Jia Saiqi, and Zhang Wanglai all contributed, showcasing their formidable collective strength. Some netizens commented: "Sichuan really played too easily in this game; it felt like Zhejiang was just a target for them to shoot at." Compared to other matches, Sichuan's performance was overwhelmingly dominant. Next up is Shanxi Women's Basketball Team's game, which they played away against Shijiazhuang. Shanxi played steadily, although neither team pulled away in the first quarter, with Shanxi leading…

Let's take a look at the detailed situation in combination with the latest standings: Ranking 1-8: Guangsha continues to lead the pack, with Qingdao narrowly defeating Liaoning 103-100, equalizing their record and ranking second for the first time. Liaoning suddenly lost power in the last 4 minutes, allowing Qingdao to win the game with a 10-0 run.

Can even a prodigious player be defeated? When Lofoten led the Shanghai men's basketball team to a 14-game winning streak, many believed he was the "answer" for this season's CBA. As an all-around player, he could attack and defend, seemingly capable of anything, even making people feel that as long as Lofoten was on the court, the Shanghai team would win. However, this "myth" came to an abrupt end under the precise tactics of Qiu Biao, head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team. Shanghai's 14-game winning streak was abruptly cut off, and Lofoten transformed from a "hero" into a "struggler." The new season of the CBA has made Lofoten one of the biggest topics. He emerged like a miraculous soldier, taking over the game with comprehensive skills and superior physical confrontation ability. Scoring, defense, organization; he could deliver top-level performances in almost every aspect. More importantly, he led the Shanghai men's basketball team to advance all the way, igniting a storm in the league with a 14-game winning streak. To fans, he was the team's leader and the guarantee of victory. Of course, behind the 14-game winning streak lay some intriguing details. Although the Shanghai team played with a momentum like breaking bamboo, a closer look at their schedule revealed that there weren't many real strong teams. Zhejiang men's basketball team was the only tough match, while most of the remaining opponents were mid-to-lower ranked teams. This couldn't help but make people wonder if there was a "sweet schedule" component to Shanghai's winning streak? This situation isn't novel in…

Shanghai Men's Basketball Team has achieved a 15-game winning streak, and it seems that Jiangsu Team may not pose a significant threat to them. If Shanghai wins this game, they will reach a 16-game winning streak. So who can stop Shanghai Men's Basketball Team's winning streak? After finishing the game against Jiangsu Team, Shanghai will face Liaoning on the road on the 14th of this month and Shanxi on the 17th. CCTV will broadcast these two games in four days, with Liaoning waiting to challenge them and Shanxi also ready for the match. These two opponents could potentially cause Shanghai to suffer two consecutive defeats. For Shanghai Men's Basketball Team, this season has been like a roller coaster ride. The first stage was terrible, but the second stage saw a remarkable rebound. With the arrival of foreign player Lofton and new coach Lu Wei, the team went from being at the bottom of the league rankings to achieving a 15-game winning streak, demonstrating an unstoppable momentum. Lofton has proven to be almost invincible in the CBA regular season so far, possessing a wide range of skills. He is feared by tall players and short players alike, and even those who are faster or stronger than him struggle to defeat him. An excellent foreign player can lead the entire team, creating multiple scoring opportunities. To win against Shanghai, one must effectively contain Lofton; otherwise, it will be troublesome. Essentially, Lofton has become the focal point of the team. Before Lofton joined, Shanghai lost to every opponent they faced, but after his…

The highly anticipated second stage of the CBA regular season has seen continuous battles, with recent news about the Shanghai men's basketball team's efforts to challenge the defending champion Liaoning team drawing attention from fans. Ahead of the home game against the Jiangsu team in this round, it was revealed that Shanghai's main player Li Tianrong would be unable to play due to injury issues, and foreign aid Lofton might also not participate due to knee discomfort in the previous game. As a result, many fans predict that Shanghai is essentially resting its main players to gain an advantage in the next game against the defending champion Liaoning team. After all, although Shanghai has achieved an impressive 15-game winning streak, the Jiangsu team is unlikely to make a comeback on the road, but Liaoning is undoubtedly an opponent that Lu Wei cannot ignore. Previously, the defending champion Liaoning team's main forward Zhang Zhenlin continued to be absent, but after the arrival of Patton and James-Webber, Yang Ming already had the capital to compete with all the championship contenders. For Shanghai, only with a full lineup and full energy can they have a chance to defeat Liaoning. Li Tianrong, who just won the best player of the round, is an indispensable core for Shanghai. Once Li Tianrong takes a break, Shanghai will completely lack a strong point. At that time, Shanghai may even face the risk of losing at home to the Jiangsu team. Of course, if the Jiangsu team can give Shanghai a huge impact, then Lofton, whose participation is…

On January 12th, Beijing time, in the CBA regular season, Shanghai men's basketball team defeated Jiangsu men's basketball team to achieve a 16-game winning streak. Shanghai led by 9 points in the first quarter, extended the lead to 12 points at halftime, continued to widen the gap after the third quarter, and firmly controlled the situation in the final quarter to secure victory. In this game, Shanghai changed their lineup again. Lofoten, who had just won the weekly best player award, did not make the squad. He averaged 33 points, 16.5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists last week with a shooting percentage of 62.7%. It may be because Jiangsu is too weak, so Wilson and Hawkins were paired up to start the game. Lofoten rested while Hawkins scored 19 points with 5 out of 8 shots, 2 out of 2 three-pointers, and 7 out of 7 free throws in the first quarter, grabbing 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Hawkins had a career night in the CBA, just 5 points short of his career high of 24 points. In the second quarter, Hawkins scored another 3 points in two minutes before being substituted by Xue Bu. Xue Bu led Wilson, Wang Zhelin, Li Hongquan, and Liu Zheng to play, but Jiangsu managed to close the gap somewhat. Wang Zhelin missed several shots in a row, and Xue Bu's personal offensive mode had not yet opened up. Liu Zheng's consecutive successful breakthroughs once again widened the point difference to over 10 points. At halftime, Hawkins had 22 points, Wilson had 16…
