Official Announcement! Super Foreign Aid Signs Back, Once Scored 20 Points and 9 Rebounds in the NBA, The Dark Horse is Really Rich and Willful In the "Foreign Aid Life-and-Death Game" of the CBA: Why does Shanxi team change players like changing knives? "On the CBA court, foreign aid is the soul of winning, but the soul cannot be used in the wrong place." This sentence is correct. Recently, there has been a lot of noise about the replacement of foreign aid by Shanxi Fenjiu Team - cutting Walter Lemon Jr. and re-signing Harry Giles. Is this a smart operation or a helpless adventure? Let's explore it. First, let's look at the data. Lemon played 4 games for Shanxi team, averaging only 5.5 points, and even more absurdly, he scored zero in two games. As a foreign aid, such performance is really ridiculous. CBA teams want not just a vase, but a savior who can stand up in critical moments. What's the problem? Lemon's personal ability is actually not bad. He has had eye-catching performances in other leagues, but he is not adapting to the CBA. His offensive mode is too single, mainly relying on breakthroughs and layups. Facing the tough defense and fast-paced games of the CBA, he seems to have few options. Moreover, Shanxi team emphasizes overall tactics, and Lemon failed to integrate into them, which also made him "not long-lasting". After cutting Lemon, Shanxi team operated efficiently and quickly signed back the old acquaintance Giles. This decision reflects both the club's decisiveness and the team's obsession with…

Shanxi Fenjiu Men's Basketball Team's operations have once again caught people's attention, with foreign aid Lamon playing a "farewell game" shortly after taking the court, followed by the swift re-signing of former NBA player Harry Giles. This rapid adjustment naturally raises curiosity: Can Shanxi rely on this returning big man to make a breakthrough this season? Although their regular season performance has been impressive, will the constant changes in foreign aid become a ticking time bomb? Let's delve into the story behind this "gamble." Lamon, the foreign aid in question, truly arrived quickly and left just as fast. As an outside player, his performance in the CBA was somewhat disappointing, averaging only 5.5 points per game and even scoring zero in two matches. In the CBA, where high standards are set for foreign players, it's not an exaggeration to say that any college league's main player might perform better. It cannot be denied that Lamon had some ability to break through, but the problem lies in his overly individualistic style, which was completely incompatible with Shanxi's team tactics. This is why, during his four games with Shanxi, he did little more than lower the morale of fans, bringing no significant change to the team. Ultimately, Shanxi's management made what could be called an "unfeeling" decision: to cut Lamon and bring back Giles, who they had worked with a year prior. This is akin to firing your usual chef right before the end of the year because the meal lacked flavor, then immediately rehiring last year's chef who excelled at making…

The CBA official website shows that Shanxi Fenjiu has re-signed Harry Giles and cancelled the registration of foreign player Walter Lemon Jr. This is quite dramatic. On December 24 last year, Shanxi cancelled Harry Giles' registration, and just 10 days later, Lemon was cut. Lemon played 4 games for Shanxi, scoring 12 points against Shenzhen; 0 points against Guangsha; 10 points against Jilin; and 0 points against Qingdao. In these 4 games, Lemon had two games with 0 points, averaging 5.5 points per game. Such statistics are not up to par for a small foreign aid. Shanxi's goal this season is definitely not just to make the playoffs. They have consistently been in the top four in the regular season. Looking at the quality of their foreign aid signings, even Yang Ming said that Shanxi has the potential to reach the finals. Lemon's performance in these 4 games was average. His main offensive mode is attacking the basket, but when he can't score, it's easy for opponents to launch quick counterattacks, which can be very demoralizing for the team. Re-signing Giles makes sense, ensuring that the team has two interior and two perimeter foreign players, making the team's lineup more balanced. Shanxi's three foreign players, Diawara, Goodwin, and Giles, all have the ability to play in the NBA, at least as a substitute for 10 minutes. Giles played for multiple teams in the NBA, averaging 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 14.1 minutes during his time with the Kings. In a game where the Kings defeated the Hawks,…

Zhang Ning has always been a controversial player in the CBA league, but this time the attention from the Shanxi Provincial Government and television on his match against Zhejiang has revealed something more complex. The game between Shanxi and Zhejiang was remarkable because it marked a turning point for Zhang Ning's situation. Both the Shanxi Provincial Government and Shanxi TV specifically reported on the match, suggesting deeper implications. The match ended with a score of 107 to 105 in favor of Shanxi, but the focus was not on the score. Instead, it was on Zhang Ning receiving a technical foul and a flagrant foul, which led to his early exit from the game. This detail is the real reason the government took interest in the match. Following the game, the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) held an online meeting to discuss refereeing issues, particularly emphasizing the need to manage coaches and players on the court. This timing is interesting as it occurred right after Zhang Ning's match. The CBA mentioned that Zhang Ning's frequent fouls require management, but also implied that those defending him may have issues. The CBA's stance has become more objective, acknowledging that while Zhang Ning does have improper actions, they also pointed out potential problems with defensive players. Zhang Ning explained some of his actions on social media, and surprisingly, the CBA recognized this explanation, indicating an important shift in attitude and suggesting that the authorities are re-evaluating the issue. The final decision to penalize Zhang Ning with a flagrant foul has been repeatedly discussed, with many…

When it comes to the biggest dark horse of this season's CBA, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team undoubtedly stands out. This season, they have made remarkable progress, ranking second in the CBA standings. However, while achieving excellent results, their foul actions have also caught the attention of fans. They have a total of 15 flagrant fouls this season, ranking first in the league, and this time they added another one. Judging from the newly added flagrant foul, some players of the Shanxi team should indeed control their emotions. In the CBA regular season match between Shanxi and Qingdao, both teams played fiercely, with the score tightly contested in the second quarter. With about 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Diawara broke through with the ball and was fouled by a Qingdao player behind him. However, he still chose to shoot, only to be blocked again by Jia Cheng, who was protecting the rim. Diawara eventually fell to the ground. After falling, Diawara was furious, believing that Jia Cheng did it on purpose and had stepped on him. So after getting up, he pushed Jia Cheng hard, who was innocent and didn't notice at all, pushing him as far as 2-3 meters away before Jia Cheng fell to the ground. Fortunately, the referee and teammates came over in time to prevent the conflict from escalating further. After reviewing the video, the referee gave Diawara a flagrant foul. Honestly, judging from this incident alone, Diawara really went too far; he didn't control his emotions well. Jia Cheng didn't have any obvious malicious…

At 10 AM, Yang Ming Confirms Patton Won't Play! Big Foreigner Showcases New Skills, Reassuring Fans, Live on CCTV5 Beijing time at 10 am on January 1st, Liaoning basketball team's head coach Yang Ming confirmed in an interview that Patton will not play in the game against Beijing Shougang. The reason is that he has not yet completed registration. Due to the New Year's Day holiday, the registration has been postponed, and it is certain that he will not be able to play in this game against Beijing Shougang.‌ Regarding his initial impression of Patton, Yang Ming said that it was also the first time he had met Patton, and he wasn't sure who was stronger or weaker compared to Ture. He would observe more in the next few days of training.‌ Yes, although Patton played for Shanxi last season, he only played four games, which is too small a sample size to make a judgment.‌ However, Patton played against Beijing Shougang last season and scored 2 points and 8 rebounds while playing against the twin towers of Fan Ziming and Qiu Tian, but he only played for 11 minutes. This shows that Patton at that time was really good at grabbing rebounds.‌ After more than a year, when we see Patton again, we find that he has developed new skills in mid-range shooting and long-range shooting. Through Liaoning's training sessions, we can see that Patton, who is still adjusting to the time difference, although not in his best physical condition, has a pretty high mid-range and three-point shooting percentage.…

Translation of the article content into English: In the previous encounter, Shanxi team's main forward Zhang Ning became the focus of attention, but it was in a way that caught everyone's attention. During the game, Zhang Ning made an excessive move during an offensive play, accidentally grabbing his arm and knocking down Hu Jinqiu. Prior to this, Zhang Ning had already received a technical foul for some actions. After reviewing the game footage, the referee unhesitatingly called a flagrant foul on Zhang Ning, which meant he would be directly disqualified and ejected from the game. This decision not only put Zhang Ning himself in a difficult situation but also had a significant impact on Shanxi's game situation. In fact, this is not the first time Zhang Ning has committed a flagrant foul. According to statistics, after being ejected from this game, his number of flagrant fouls has reached seven times. This is quite a dangerous number. According to regulations, when a player accumulates nine flagrant fouls, they will face a severe penalty of a three-game suspension. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to both Zhang Ning personally and the Shanxi team. As an important scorer and frontline core for Shanxi, his absence will directly affect the team's overall strength. For Zhang Ning personally, a suspension not only means missing several encounters but also makes him the target of fan criticism. Looking deeper, the accumulation of Zhang Ning's flagrant fouls also reflects some issues in his game. It may be that his emotional control is not stable or there are deviations…
