Beikong Men's Basketball Team has made great efforts and significant investments for Shen Zijie, considering him a key force in their pursuit of the top 4 and even the championship in the new season. As the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Beikong Men's Basketball Team aspires to establish an excellent championship-winning habit, with Shen Zijie being a crucial piece in building this habit. Looking back at the 23-24 season, Shen Zijie performed impressively with Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team, averaging 12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game, demonstrating his comprehensive abilities. However, upon joining Beikong Men's Basketball Team, his statistics significantly dropped to an average of 7.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game. This stark contrast undoubtedly disappointed Beikong Men's Basketball Team. The decrease in efficiency on the court is just one aspect; more seriously, injuries have cast a shadow over him. During a match against Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team, Shen Zijie unfortunately got injured. He was rushed to the hospital for examination after the game, and although the results were not serious, it still had an undeniable impact on his condition. "There are unforeseeable weather changes in the sky, and unexpected misfortunes in life." Injuries are like sudden storms that disrupt everyone's plans. Considering his injury situation, Shen Zijie made a difficult yet wise decision to withdraw from the second stage of the competition. This decision is undoubtedly a huge blow to Beikong Men's Basketball Team.…

CBA News: Shen Zijie Out for the Season, Xinjiang Signs Sanwell, Liaoning Replaces Foreign Player January 21, 2025, Beijing Time -‌ The CBA season is already halfway through, and for Beikong Men's Basketball, their recent performance has not been optimistic. It is well-known that last season, Min Lulei successfully activated Beikong and led them to the playoffs, which prompted Beikong to increase their investment during the offseason, bringing in strong reinforcements such as Salinge, Shen Zijie, and Zhu Songwei. However, unexpectedly, after the reinforcement, Beikong Men's Basketball did not see significant changes in their performance, and there was even a decline at one point. In order to ensure better results, recently, Beikong Men's Basketball adjusted their coaching staff, bringing in Biedfu to assist Min Lulei in leading the team. At the same time, Beikong also faced injury issues. It is understood that Shen Zijie was injured during a game against Shenzhen Men's Basketball. According to the examination results, the situation is not particularly serious, but he needs two weeks of rest. This means that Shen Zijie will miss the remaining games of the second stage, confirming his absence for the remainder of the second stage. As a CBA powerhouse, this season, Xinjiang Men's Basketball's foreign aid configuration has not been great. Their three foreign players have performed moderately, and with aspirations to challenge for the championship, such a lineup is clearly insufficient. Therefore, recently, Xinjiang Men's Basketball has decided to adjust their foreign aid. According to the latest news, Xinjiang Men's Basketball has officially offered to sign Sanwell, hoping to…

The one-point victory over Beikong has passed for a day, but there is still no news of the referee being punished. Every time when players or head coaches discuss the issue of referees, the CBA company will issue a fine overnight or give a warning. However, in the case of referees blatantly blowing whistles, they turn a blind eye. For these referees in the CBA, a demerit system should be implemented. Each referee should start with 12 points, and for each incorrect or missed call, points should be deducted along with a monetary penalty. If the number of incidents becomes too frequent, their license should be revoked. If the CBA could manage these referees in such a manner, the situation would surely improve. Otherwise, if this continues, the number of wrongful cases in the league will only increase. Guangdong narrowly defeated Beikong, and if not for the team's own strong capabilities, they would have certainly lost due to the referees' biased calls. In the final moments of the game, Shen Zijie grabbed Xu Xin's arm, Zhang Fan made an early foul during free throws, and Zhu Songwei pushed Xu Jie before grabbing the rebound. Any one of these three instances, if fairly called by the referees, would have ended the game earlier. However, they deliberately chose to ignore it, and such refereeing issues continued to occur in the last 10.2 seconds, making it hard to believe that it was just a mistake. If not blowing the whistle on Zhu Songwei pushing Xu Jie was because the referees wanted to leave…

Translation of the article content into English: On the evening of January 15th, Beijing time, multiple key matchups in the CBA regular season concluded, resulting in significant changes to the standings. Guangsha continues to dominate at the top with its strong performance, while Shanxi climbed to second after a big win, showing its dark horse potential, and Liaoning unexpectedly slipped to fifth. As the schedule progresses, the competition for playoff spots is becoming increasingly fierce. In the home game against Tianjin, Shanxi defeated Tianjin 136-113, showcasing their strength throughout the game. Shanxi led 13-9 at the start of the first quarter, but Tianjin fought back tenaciously, trailing by only four points at the end of the first quarter. However, in the second quarter, Shanxi unleashed an offensive frenzy, with a 16-6 run quickly widening the gap to double digits. At halftime, Shanxi led 80-59, firmly controlling the rhythm of the game. In the second half, Tianjin attempted to close the gap, but Shanxi played steadily in critical moments, once again expanding the lead to over 20 points. Ultimately, Shanxi won by a 23-point advantage. In this match, Shanxi demonstrated the impact and overall coordination of a top-tier team, with Diyallo scoring 19 points efficiently and Zhang Ning scoring 14 points with a 100% shooting rate. In another game, Beijing hosted Beikong but suffered a crushing defeat of 102-129. With key players such as Zhou Qi and Zeng Fanbo absent, Beijing's interior defense was repeatedly under pressure, despite the outstanding performances of foreign players Jerman and Omore. Beikong maintained high efficiency…

In the 30th round of the CBA regular season, a strong confrontation took place as the Guangdong team continued to play at home and艰难地战胜了Beijing Beikong, securing a six-game winning streak while also handing their opponents a double-kill in the regular season. After achieving a six-game winning streak, Guangdong's ranking finally rose to the top eight in the standings, securing a playoff spot with just one step away. During the match against Beijing Beikong, both sides fought until the last possession to determine the winner, with Xu Xin's near-buzzer beater becoming the hero for Guangdong's victory. However, before Xu Xin made the decisive shot, the CBA referees repeatedly stole the spotlight, almost ruining Guangdong's chances. At that time, the score was tied at 97, and Beijing Beikong had two free throw opportunities. Shen Zijie missed the first free throw, and after the second attempt, Beikong player Zhang Fan, standing beyond the three-point line, entered the three-point area before the ball even touched the rim. According to CBA rules, this should have been a violation, and the ball possession should have been returned to Guangdong. However, the referee made another mistake. Not only did the referee fail to penalize Beikong's player for entering early, but they also directly called a defensive foul on Guangdong, awarding Beikong two more free throws. Eventually, Zhang Fan made one of the two free throws, leaving Guangdong with an opportunity for a buzzer-beating comeback. Fortunately, Xu Xin seized the rare opportunity and ultimately scored the near-buzzer beater, slapping back at the CBA's poor refereeing. For the CBA…

In a CBA regular season match where Guangdong Team, on a five-game winning streak, hosted Beikong Team with three losses in their last four games, it was a question of whether Guangdong would continue their excellent form or if Beikong would show signs of improvement. We were about to find out. The first quarter saw both teams engaging in an intense back-and-forth battle, with Guangdong ending the quarter at 25-24. Jilunwate scored 10 points in the quarter, while Xu Jie contributed 2 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists. In the second quarter, under the leadership of local players such as Xu Jie, Ren Junfei, and Zhang Wenyi, the team started with an 11-0 run. Beikong went scoreless for over two minutes until Salinger broke the drought with five consecutive points. At halftime, Guangdong led 55-45. Xu Jie had already accumulated 9 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, while Morand had 10 points and 14 rebounds. Salinger had 16 points and 7 rebounds. After the break, both teams opened up with three-pointers, with Jilunwate, Liu Xiaoyu, and Du Runwang all hitting from beyond the arc. After Beikong made a 10-0 run in the paint to catch up, the home team went scoreless for four minutes, prompting Du Feng to bring Xu Xin into play. Jilunwate and Xu Jie's three-pointers resolved the scoring issues, and Xu Jie also connected several times with Xu Xin, showcasing the power of the "Xu-Xu" connection. By the end of the third quarter, Guangdong still held a 7-point lead. Xu Jie, who had played the…

On January 1st, in the 25th round of the CBA regular season, Xinjiang tasted their first home defeat of the season, ending their 14-game winning streak with a 107:111 loss to Shandong Express. However, the disappointment of the home defeat was not the only regret, as Zhao Rui's irrational behavior on the court may lead to more severe punishment. He was disqualified and sent off the court after only three minutes of play, paying the price for his impulsive actions. Did he regret it after the game? It seems not! From a sentence on his social media, we can understand his current mentality. Rather than saying he regrets it, he is still resentful of the referee's actions. After the game, Zhao Rui left a comment under a video about him: "I get scolded when I win, and I get scolded when I lose. I might as well retire!" The incident occurred with over five minutes left in the first quarter when Zhao Rui attempted a layup. Yu Dehao's defense appeared to involve a foul, and during the physical contact, Zhao Rui almost collided with the basket stanchion. Zhao Rui believed it should have been a two-plus-one play, but the referee did not acknowledge it. Filled with anger, Zhao Rui confronted the referee, who responded with a technical foul warning. This only intensified Zhao Rui's anger, and he rushed forward, using his chest to push the referee. The referee, caught off guard by Zhao Rui's aggression, retreated several meters before regaining his footing. As expected, Zhao Rui immediately received another unsportsmanlike…

Since the introduction of top-tier contracts in the CBA league, it signifies that players who can secure such contracts are exceptional talents, considered big-name players within their teams and even across the CBA. Indeed, obtaining a top-tier CBA contract is a goal pursued by every CBA player, as it not only confirms their status at the pinnacle of the league but also brings them superior income and fame compared to others. However, the Beijing Royal Fighters have often shown poor judgment in selecting top-tier contracted players. Previously, they offered Sun Tonglin a multi-year top-tier CBA contract, resulting in Sun spending extended periods on the bench, earning high wages without contributing to the team. Undoubtedly, the long-term top-tier contract given to Sun by the Beijing Royal Fighters was a misjudgment. Regrettably, it seems the Beijing Royal Fighters' vision remains clouded, as they may have made another misjudgment this season. Both Zou Yuchen and Shen Zijie are top-tier contracted players for the team, yet their performances have not met the expectations of fans. In particular, Shen Zijie, regarded as a top center in the CBA, has seen a sharp decline in form since joining the Beijing Royal Fighters, failing to demonstrate the impact expected of a top-tier CBA player. Taking the game between the Beijing Royal Fighters and the Shanghai Sharks as an example, neither Shen Zijie nor Zou Yuchen were effective defensively against the 1.98-meter-tall Lofton. They were completely outplayed, allowing the opponent to score 31 points, grab 14 rebounds, and provide 7 assists, highlighting the fragility of the interior defense…

Last night, the visiting Beikong team defeated the Jiangsu team 112-94, ending their losing streak, which relieved coach Min Lulei. Even though they were facing a super weak opponent, it was not easy to play against them. The first half was very close, and they were still trailing by one point at halftime. However, during the halftime break, Min Lulei said that he encouraged his players to take shots boldly and shoot whenever they had the opportunity. They turned a one-point deficit into a lead of more than 20 points and finally defeated the Jiangsu team by 18 points. In the entire game, seven players from the Beikong team scored in double figures, including Rile with 36 points and Salinger with 19 points. The most commendable was young point guard Lin Yanting, who not only scored in double figures but also provided the team with the most assists, revitalizing the team. After the game, coach Min Lulei praised Lin Yanting and Salinger's three-pointers for turning the tide in the second half. Another interior player, Zou Yuchen, scored 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, with the highest plus-minus value on the team, contributing to a 34-point win, showing a very strong performance. On the other hand, Shen Zijie, who plays the same position, was completely useless and performed poorly. As a starting player, he played for 14 minutes but only scored 4 points and 1 rebound, which was truly terrible. He was not as good as the young interior player Chen Guohao, and was even dominated by the opposing young interior…

Shenzhen Men's Basketball has officially entered the rebuilding phase after trading two core players, Salinger and Shen Zijie, during the off-season. The team has not been able to find suitable foreign aid for the new season, resulting in an unsatisfactory performance with only 5 wins and 18 losses, currently ranking third from the bottom of the league. According to the latest news revealed by media personality "Zheng Zhipeng," Daryl Macon will return to the CBA court and play for Shenzhen Men's Basketball once again. Shenzhen Men's Basketball currently has four foreign players: Johnson, Wells, Thompson, and Tilmon. After Macon joins the team, it will be a choice between Thompson and Tilmon. Macon is 29 years old, 1.88 meters tall, and played briefly for Shenzhen Men's Basketball last season, appearing in 17 games with an average of 25.4 minutes per game, contributing 18.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 0.8 steals. He had a shooting percentage of 45.7%, a three-point percentage of 41%, averaging 2 three-pointers per game, and a free-throw percentage of 89.6%. Although Macon's time in the CBA was short, he showed strong offensive capabilities and excellent scoring explosiveness. Last season, he had multiple games with over 20 points, including a performance against Shanxi Men's Basketball where he scored 37 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds, with a high offensive efficiency of 13 out of 24 shots. In terms of technical style, Macon is a very versatile small foreign aid. He can both break through and shoot, with a threatening ball-handling breakthrough and accurate three-point shooting. His physical fitness…
