The 27th round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued, with a focus on the fierce competition between the strong Shanxi men's basketball team and the traditional powerhouse Xinjiang men's basketball team. Ultimately, the stronger Shanxi team defeated the powerful Xinjiang team 115-110 at home, thanks to the outstanding performances of Liu Chuanxing, Goodwin, Diarra, and other main players. It is worth noting that Shanxi was once 25 points behind Xinjiang in this game, but they made a 41-11 offensive climax in the final quarter, successfully completing the comeback. It can be said that the reason why Shanxi could blow out Xinjiang with a single foreign aid lineup in the final quarter was due to the combination of Liu Chuanxing and the small foreign aid. As a former Guangdong team youth training inside player, many fans also called on Zhu Fangyu to consider signing Liu Chuanxing back. According to statistics, Liu Chuanxing, the main center of Shanxi team, played 21 minutes in this game, scoring 12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 5 blocks with a shooting rate of 6/10 on the offensive end, and a plus-minus value of +20, which was the best in the field. After this battle, Shanxi has firmly occupied the second place in the standings, only behind the top Guangsha men's basketball team as the hottest championship contender. It should be noted that this season's four major championship contenders Liaoning team, Beijing Shougang team, Guangsha team, and Xinjiang team have all been defeated by Shanxi. Shanxi relies on the…

A thrilling match unfolded in the 27th round of the CBA, which was not only a basketball showdown but also resembled a dramatic movie that had all spectators holding their breath until the very last moment. The protagonists were two strong teams - Shanxi and Xinjiang. Before the game, both teams had a record of 19 wins and 6 losses, ranking second and third in the league respectively. However, no one could have anticipated the incredible way this match would end. From the start, Xinjiang quickly found their rhythm with Xierzati firing from outside, Li Yanzhe scoring under the basket, and Hegen stealing the ball for a counterattack layup. These smooth moves gave them a good start. Especially Ilyas Fu La Ti, who hit three consecutive three-pointers, helping Xinjiang quickly widen the score gap. At the end of the first quarter, Xinjiang was already leading 41 to 26. At this point, Xinjiang seemed to have control of the game's pace, while Shanxi appeared somewhat caught off guard. During halftime, the Shanxi coaching staff clearly made targeted adjustments to try to reverse the unfavorable situation. Despite this, Shanxi still faced significant challenges in the following period. By the end of the third quarter, Xinjiang still maintained a huge advantage of 25 points. At this moment, for most viewers, the outcome of the game seemed to be a foregone conclusion; but for Shanxi, it was just the beginning of a new chapter. However, the real miracle happened in the fourth quarter. When everyone thought victory would undoubtedly go to Xinjiang, Shanxi suddenly…

On January 6th, Beijing time, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team lost to Guangsha at home with a score of 88-101. This defeat put Liaoning in a complex ranking situation. Although Liaoning could still compete with Guangsha in the first half, Guangsha's offensive wave in the third quarter completely broke the game balance, leading by a large margin of 36-14 in a single quarter, eventually dragging the game into garbage time. Although Liaoning slightly narrowed the point difference in the final moments, this defeat exposed many problems, and the pressure on Yang Ming further increased. Two Good News for Liaoning Stable Ranking, Still Hopeful for Second Place Despite the defeat against Guangsha, Liaoning still ranks 6th in the league with an 18-9 record, only one point behind the second-ranked Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. In the upcoming games, as long as Liaoning can maintain stable performance and improve existing issues, they have a good chance to surpass Shanxi and challenge for the second place in the regular season. However, it is almost impossible to surpass Guangsha and seize the top spot at present. Guangsha's overall strength and stability make them look like hot favorites for the championship. Paton's Joining Enhances Team Depth, Foreign Aid Recruitment Shows Initial Results Liaoning's recruitment also showed some positive signs in this game. Paton's joining is undoubtedly an important step for Liaoning to strengthen its lineup. In his debut, although he only played limited time, he made 4 out of 9 shots, contributing 9 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. Paton's athleticism and performance on both…

The second stage of the CBA regular season is in full swing, with a fierce battle between Shanxi Men's Basketball, ranked second in the standings, and Xinjiang Men's Basketball, one of the top four teams. After four quarters of intense competition, Gu Dewen, Liu Chuanxing, Diyaluo, and others led the Shanxi team to an astonishing comeback victory over the Xinjiang team by 25 points at home, with a score of 115-110. It is noteworthy that after the first three quarters, Shanxi was once 25 points behind, but they made a scoring surge of 41-11 in the final quarter, winning by 30 points and completing the reversal. It can be said that the current Shanxi team has interpreted the strongest lineup version of the final quarter of this season's CBA league, which is the era of top small foreign aid + strong local center. As a local center from Guangdong's youth training system, Liu Chuanxing's outstanding performance is indeed worthy of recognition. It should be noted that Shanxi not only has the strongest double-small foreign aid in the entire league, Gu Dewen and Diyaluo, but also has the top local big center Liu Chuanxing, which fully complies with the rules of this season's CBA league, allowing four quarters of 7 foreign aid and single foreign aid in the final quarter. Although Xinjiang took a huge lead, Shanxi has already relied on the advantages of Liu Chuanxing, Gu Dewen, Diyaluo, and others to reverse the defending champion Liaoning team, the powerful Beijing Shougang team, and the top-ranked Guangsha men's basketball team in…

The CBA regular season has become quite unpredictable, with Shanxi losing to Qingdao, Xinjiang rising four places, Beijing defeating Zhejiang, and Liaoning and Guangdong facing tough times. The rankings change daily, leaving fans feeling disoriented. Qingdao's recent performance has been impressive, with foreign players Weatherspoon and Mickey playing like they're on a different level, combining for 71 points and dismantling Shanxi's defense. Wang Ruize is also gaining confidence, as evidenced by his 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. On Shanxi's side, Goodwin and Diawara were active, scoring a total of 70 points, but their frontline was completely dominated by Qingdao's Yang Hanshen. Liu Chuanxing and Faye, their frontline players, only managed to score a few points, which was disappointing. Qingdao played with great form in this match, starting with a fierce attack that opened up a nearly 20-point lead. Although Shanxi managed to catch up later, Qingdao held on to prevent them from overtaking. After this match, Shanxi dropped to third place, which is unfortunate considering they were previously second. This shows how intense the competition in the CBA is this year. Xinjiang's victory over Sichuan was close, but a win is a win, especially since Zhao Rui and Abudu didn't play. Qi Lin put on a career-level performance. Sichuan started well, leading by 11 points in the first quarter, but Xinjiang caught up in the second quarter. Such ups and downs make for a suspenseful game. Six Xinjiang players scored in double figures, showcasing their teamwork. Lawson only scored 10 points but contributed 16 rebounds and 7 assists,…

This season, when it comes to who is the biggest dark horse team in the CBA, many people would probably choose Shanxi Men's Basketball Team. After all, they have been on a winning streak, defeating teams like Guangdong, Liaoning, Beijing, and Guangsha, with their record ranking in the top four of the standings, firmly placing them in the first-tier teams. However, besides Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, another dark horse has emerged in the CBA. They had a 1-9 record in the first stage, ranking at the bottom, but in the second stage, the team has transformed, achieving a remarkable 12-game winning streak, showing great potential to enter the first tier. Seeing a 12-game winning streak, everyone probably knows which team I'm referring to. Yes, it's Shanghai Men's Basketball Team. In the first stage of this season, Shanghai Men's Basketball Team encountered various problems, resulting in poor performance and a 1-9 record, ranking last in the league. However, in the second stage, the team brought in a new coach, Lu Wei, along with the return of Wang Zhelin and the arrival of foreign players, significantly enhancing the team's overall strength, and they have now achieved a 12-game winning streak. Shanghai's ability to achieve a 12-game winning streak is not only due to the head coach and foreign players but also thanks to the contributions of two young players. This season, they have been in excellent form, with incredibly accurate shooting, playing a key role in the team's victories. For those who don't follow Shanghai Men's Basketball Team closely, you may not…

Shanxi's Comeback Victory Over Xinjiang Raises Suspicions of Match-Fixing, Fans Are Angry and Consequences Are Serious, Investigation Recommended By Jiang Shihua On the evening of January 5th, Beijing time, a focus match in the CBA league concluded. In the game between Shanxi and Xinjiang at Shanxi's home court, Xinjiang once led by as many as 25 points, but in the fourth quarter, they suddenly seemed to forget how to play basketball, being outscored 11-41 in that quarter, including a 16-0 run, ultimately losing to Shanxi 115-110.

The policy of allowing only one foreign player per team in the fourth quarter highlights the importance of a team's overall strength during this period. Teams with high domestic player scoring percentages, strong foreign players capable of breaking through tough defenses, and resilient defense are likely to perform well in the fourth quarter. Here are the top 5 teams with the strongest fourth quarter lineups in the CBA this season: 5th place: Tongxi Men's Basketball Team Tongxi has a high scoring percentage from domestic players, with two local players in the top three scorers: Lin Wei averaging 20.9 points and Guo Haowen averaging 17 points. Their combination of Lin Wei, Guo Haowen, Zhu Mingzhen, Liu Dong, and Lifv in the fourth quarter can score from multiple angles, but their poor defense and rim protection prevent them from achieving even greater success. 4th place: Shanghai Men's Basketball Team Shanghai's foreign players, Bradsoe and Lofton, show potential for strong offensive capabilities, which needs to be tested in tough matches. They could maintain the team's offensive aggression by alternating in the fourth quarter. Domestic players Li Tianrong and Li Hongquan are good shooters who can handle some of the ball possession, but their independent offensive abilities are average. Shanghai's rim protection is weak, despite having Wang Zhelin, who averages 2 turnovers and 3.5 fouls per game, which is a disadvantage. 3rd place: Beijing Men's Basketball Team Beijing's small foreign player, Jemian, is not bad, with key moment statistics ranking 7th in the league. However, the lack of suitable substitutes within the team is…

On January 5th, the CBA Xinjiang team suffered a rare super comeback at the home of the Shanxi team. In the last quarter, Shanxi scored 41 to 11, not only wiping out the 25-point difference in the first three quarters, but also miraculously winning with a score of 115 to 110. After the game, Liu Wei attributed the reason for the loss to the youth of the players and avoided talking about his own tactical mistakes. This is the third time recently that Liu Wei has spoken without thinking. Who is really young? It seems that this rookie coach is still very inexperienced. A few days ago, the Xinjiang team just lost a record, which was the unbeaten home record of the season. The Shandong team ended Xinjiang's 14-game home winning streak. In that game, Liu Wei shouted "call SB to shoot" at Yu Dehao on the sidelines! Yu Dehao complained to the referee without success, and then he hit back fiercely with a three-pointer against Liu Wei's insult. After the game, Liu Wei hinted at the unfairness of the referees in the interview, pointing fingers at the league and opponents, and finally received a fine for improper behavior. However, Liu Wei did not learn from this lesson. After offending the league referees and making enemies with the opposing players, he now points his finger at his own players. His words at the press conference were very unprofessional, seemingly praising young players, but actually trying to absolve himself. Liu Wei said: The loss of the Xinjiang team is a tuition…

CBA's second stage is halfway through, and various teams have encountered different levels of injury situations, resulting in significant changes in the competition for first place in the regular season. The peak period of Liaoning and Guangdong has passed, and Xinjiang and Shanxi men's basketball teams have become the favorites to win the championship. In this round, the two teams faced each other directly. Xinjiang ranked second, with Zhao Rui suspended for five games, which had a significant impact, and captain Abudu Salamu continued to be absent due to injury. Shanxi once topped the standings but has recently struggled due to adjustments in their foreign players, leading to a lack of momentum, as evidenced by their loss to Qingdao in the previous game. Xierzati quickly entered the game, scoring 5 points with agile counterattacks and decisive three-point shots. With Abudu and Zhao Rui unable to play, he took on the responsibility of outside offense. Xinjiang's inside and outside attack was in full bloom, with very smooth offense, starting with a dreamy 12-4 lead and capitalizing on two turnovers from Shanxi to convert scores. Shanxi replaced Yuan Shuai to increase the outside threat, but there were two more turnovers, and the home court turned into impatience. Ilyfati hit another three-pointer in pursuit, and Diawara finally broke the scoring drought with a fast-break dunk after the switch. After switching to the double-small foreign lineup, Shanxi accelerated their offensive pace, successfully completing two consecutive rounds. In a conversation between strong teams, they would not be overwhelmed in the first quarter. In the first…
