The second phase of this season's CBA regular season is in full swing, with a fierce battle between the strong Guangsha men's basketball team and the dark horse Shanxi men's basketball team. After four quarters of intense competition, Brown, along with Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, and others led Guangsha to a decisive victory over Shanxi with a score of 111-78. It is noteworthy that although the dark horse Shanxi team is ranked second in the standings, there seems to be a huge gap between them and Guangsha in every position. Although Guangsha fell to Shanxi's main inside player Liu Chuanxing in their last encounter, Wang Bo did not heavily rely on the big foreign aid Boban in this game and easily defeated Shanxi by a large margin. It can be said that in this game, Guangsha men's basketball team, ranked first in the standings, demonstrated the team's strong strength and excellent tactical execution. Wang Bo's tactic of double-teaming the ball-handler directly rendered Shanxi's dual foreign aid Goodwin and Diawara ineffective. On the other hand, Guangsha's local main players Sun Minghui, Hu Jinqiu, and others continued to perform efficiently. Moreover, Guangsha's main foreign aid Brown continued to play at the level of a top-tier foreign aid in the league. Defensively, Guangsha effectively trapped Shanxi's ball-handler, causing 28 turnovers. Despite being seen by many fans as the biggest dark horse this season, Shanxi was still unable to break through the more balanced suppression from Guangsha in every position. After achieving 16 consecutive home victories, Wang Bo is rumored to continue strengthening the…

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…

CBA This Season, Up to Now, 4 Native Players Who Can Be Called "Iron Man", See Who They Are The CBA season has been full of excitement, and by the 28th round, the "Iron Men" have shown performances that are truly impressive! Some players average 40 minutes per game, some have explosive statistics that rival small foreign players, and others lead their teams to victory with a tough playing style. Against the backdrop of adjusted foreign player policies, these native players not only withstand the intensity of the games but also contribute to their team's victories with sweat, earning them the title of "Iron Men" without a doubt. However, as we count these relentless figures, we can't help but ask: Is being relentless something to admire or a sign of helplessness? This season of the CBA has already reached the 28th round, and the battles for championship contention and ranking positions are becoming increasingly fierce. At this stage, Wang Ruize from Qingdao, Xu Jie from Guangdong, Zhang Ning from Shanxi, and Gao Shiyang from Shandong have all written chapters of "Iron Men" in their unique ways. They have contributed key data and performances for their teams, becoming the focus of fan discussions. Who is the first Iron Man? It must be Wang Ruize, the core of Qingdao. This 29-year-old forward has played 22 games this season, averaging an astonishing 40.9 minutes of playing time, ranking first in the league. Simply put, he is almost playing the entire game! What's even more remarkable is that he not only endures high-intensity play…

Shame! Domestic Players Enrage Foreign Players, Coach Displeased and Wants to Resign to Take Responsibility The Shanxi men's basketball team has just made a small wave in the CBA league, ranking second in the standings. However, just as fans are cheering, there is a "pot boiling" within the team. After the game, head coach Pan Jiang angrily criticized the players' dissatisfaction, foreign aid Goodwin publicly criticized, plus Zhang Ning's "falling down without support" cold scene, suddenly became the topic of heated discussion among fans. This team, which relies on tough battles and tenacity to emerge from the mud, why does it show fatigue at the critical moment, and even faintly appear "disbanding" breath? The problems behind this are far more complicated than a series of victories and defeats. As a team that has emerged this season, the achievements of the Shanxi men's basketball team are beyond doubt, but unity and tacit understanding may be the real proposition they need to think about. If this "second-place crisis" is not handled properly, Shanxi may turn from a "dark horse" into a "retrogression stereotype". Speaking of the "helmsman" of the Shanxi men's basketball team - head coach Pan Jiang, this new head coach is indeed a bit "fierce". As a rookie coach who coached the CBA team for the first time, his performance is obviously not very "green": since this season, he has fought hard, turned the tide against the wind, and fought overtime. The Shanxi men's basketball team has rushed from an unpopular team all the way to second place, becoming the…

After a pivotal match, Shanxi Team narrowly overcame Fujian Team, which should have been a scene of jubilation. However, a detail sparked a storm of public opinion. Zhang Ning, a core player who has performed outstandingly this season, fell to the ground during the game. However, none of his teammates came forward to help him up; it was the team staff who eventually did so. This scene raises questions: what exactly is going on within this team? Is it an unintentional oversight, or has a long-buried conflict finally come to light? Zhang Ning is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching new stars in the CBA this season. With his remarkable performances, he propelled Shanxi Team to become one of the most watched dark horses in the league. This season, Zhang Ning's average points and efficiency have significantly increased. He not only took on more tactical roles but also spurred the team's rhythm through relentless defense. It can be said that he is one of the most important pieces in the team's rise. However, in the match against Fujian Team, the moment of "no one to help" seemed to reveal another truth about this team: the team atmosphere is quietly disintegrating. Although Zhang Ning scored 17 points and led the team to a successful comeback with his incredible offense, this isolated detail still caused concern. It is not just a temporary oversight by his teammates but seems like a silent signal - perhaps the team is facing potential crises in aspects such as mutual trust and chemical reactions. Perhaps, this loose…

Coach Gong's return to coaching and his leadership in the upcoming competition have sparked discussions and attention from fans and media alike. We all know that Coach Gong is from Shandong.

During his eight seasons with the Shandong men's basketball team, Gong was awarded MVP once and scoring champion once, and he was selected for the All-Star Game seven times. Gong officially retired in 2003. After retiring, Gong quickly transitioned into the role of a coach. From being player Gong, he became Coach Gong. He coached the Shandong men's basketball team on three separate occasions, achieving his best result in the 2012-13 season when he led the Shandong Gold men's basketball team to second place in the regular season and runner-up in the playoffs.

Indeed, the recent CBA court has been incredibly lively. Take Shanxi men's basketball team as an example, their performance on the court is really eye-catching, adding a lot of exciting highlights to the entire CBA court. Perhaps you would say that Shanxi men's basketball team has always performed well, but this year's situation is quite different. Look, they have completely transformed into a dark horse, overcoming obstacles all the way and surprisingly rushed into the top four, which has indeed brought considerable pressure to other teams. Behind this situation, in addition to the overall progress of the team, there is also a person who has almost become the focus of everyone's heated discussion, and that person is Zhang Ning. To talk about it, Shanxi team's development trend this season is really full of twists and turns, not smooth sailing all the way, experiencing many ups and downs, so ups and downs, it can be said to be a roller coaster. At the beginning of the season, they were just a new army, relatively lacking in experience. Looking at the lineup, except for a few veterans, there was no big-name star that could attract much attention. However, unexpectedly, it was such a team that gradually made a name for themselves in one game after another. Especially after the two foreign aid Goodwin and Diallo joined Shanxi team, the outside firepower of Shanxi team was significantly improved almost instantly. Their precise three-point shooting and rapid counterattacks on the court really shook the entire league. In particular, Goodwin's three-point shooting is simply amazing,…

Zhejiang Guangsha hosted Shanxi Men's Basketball Team in a match between the top two teams in the league! Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has always been known as the "King of Reversals," with Zhang Ning ranking first in the league for scoring in crucial moments of the fourth quarter. Therefore, it's uncertain whether Shanxi can leave Guangsha's home court unscathed! However, although Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has a good record, the atmosphere within the team is not great. In the previous game, Shanxi's head coach Pan Jiang criticized the team for not playing selflessly enough and not being aggressive enough in rebounding. They were often led by weaker teams for too long, not taking their opponents seriously, and showing a relaxed attitude. Zhang Ning scolded his teammates for not even being able to grab rebounds. Goodwin wants to see the Shanxi team from the beginning of the season, a team that shares the ball selflessly and trusts their teammates. At the start of the game, both sides were cautious in the first quarter, with frequent misses and clangs of iron. Neither the foreign players nor the domestic players could find their rhythm, and Shanxi Men's Basketball Team ended the first quarter with a slight lead over Zhejiang Guangsha. The second quarter saw Zhejiang Guangsha explode, outscoring Shanxi 30-19. Shanxi was completely stifled defensively, while Zhejiang Guangsha executed their tactics with ease. With multiple players contributing offensively, Shanxi's head coach Pan Jiang realized that they would have to approach the game with a difficult mindset. The players struggled to make breakthroughs, and…
