Two Major Upsets in CBA! Guangdong's Rival Loses to the Last-Place Team, Shenzhen Overturns Zhejiang Away? A team that has lost 15 consecutive games in the season, can it be considered an upset if they win against the second-to-last team? A strong team ranked third in the league is knocked down by an opponent ranked third from the bottom, is this not a major upset? On New Year's Eve, the CBA court witnessed successive upsets - Zhejiang lost to Shenzhen, and Fujian defeated Jiangsu. What exactly happened that night? Was it an unexpected outbreak of the weak teams, or a collective collapse of the strong teams' defenses? Fans are discussing animatedly, and some even lament, "In this day and age, even stability has become a luxury on the CBA court." The biggest topic of this round of matches was undoubtedly Shenzhen's away upset victory over Zhejiang. Shenzhen ranks 18th in the standings, almost at the bottom, while Zhejiang is a powerhouse ranked third in the league. Before the game, almost no one favored Shenzhen. However, the result was unexpected, as Shenzhen won the game with a 4-point advantage, which can be described as a good show of "snake biting the elephant" reversal. At the beginning of the game, Zhejiang's performance was still acceptable, leading slightly in the first quarter. But from the second quarter onwards, Shenzhen took full control of the game - they showed extraordinary energy on both offense and defense, especially taking advantage of Zhejiang's imbalanced attack and defense to launch multiple smooth counterattacks. This is actually closely…

On the last day of 2024, two matches were held in the CBA, both of which resulted in upsets. The Fujian team, which had lost 15 consecutive games, defeated the Jiangsu team, securing their second win of the season and ending their long losing streak, which can be considered a minor upset. However, an even bigger upset occurred on another court, where the Shenzhen team, ranked third from the bottom, defeated the Zhejiang team, who were on a 10-game winning streak and were considered strong contenders for the championship. With this victory, Shenzhen's ranking jumped three places, rising from third from the bottom to fourteenth. Why was Shenzhen able to defeat a stronger opponent? Commentator Yan Yufeng explained that Shenzhen won due to their rebounding and the defense of young player Lu Pengyu against Zhejiang's small foreign player, as they outrebounded their opponents by 23. Secondly, Willis played a crucial role in controlling the game in the key moments. Thirdly, Zhejiang lost due to injuries leading to personnel shortages and a lack of focus at the start of the game. Here, I want to focus on Willis, who was abandoned by the Guangdong team but became a key player for Shenzhen. At halftime, Zhejiang trailed by 14 points, and the gap widened to over 20 points in the third quarter. However, in the latter part of the third quarter, Shenzhen suddenly went cold and experienced a scoring drought, with the lead shrinking to only 4 points, and the huge advantage they had built up disappeared. At this critical moment, the…

A focus match in the CBA league saw Zhejiang Chouzhou, on a 10-game winning streak, face off against Shenzhen Men's Basketball. Before the game, there was a significant difference in rankings between the two teams, with one being third and the other being third from the bottom. In terms of both strength and form, Zhejiang Chouzhou had the upper hand. However, the entire game turned out to be completely unexpected. Zhejiang Chouzhou was not in their usual form, struggling to keep up except for the first quarter when they could still maintain a stalemate. At times, the point difference reached as high as 21 points. Although the game persisted until the last minute, Zhejiang Chouzhou ultimately lost to Shenzhen Men's Basketball with a score of 102:105, ending their 10-game winning streak and adding insult to injury with Yu Jiaho's injury. After the opening tip-off, Zhejiang Chouzhou continuously lost defensive rebounds, with Wang Haoran receiving two fouls in just one minute. However, Shenzhen Men's Basketball did not capitalize on their opportunities well, with York hitting a fast-break pull-up three-pointer, giving Zhejiang Chouzhou an 8:3 lead. Both teams then made continuous passing errors, with Thompson making a strong move under the basket against Jones, drawing a foul. York assisted Jones in completing an alley-oop! After Tilman came on the court, he scored four consecutive points under the basket, to which Yu Jiaho quickly responded. Rong Zifeng hit a corner three-pointer, and Shenzhen Men's Basketball went on a 7:0 run to level the score. The first quarter ended with both teams tied at…

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…

Shenzhen quickly adjusted from a slow start and two foreign players stepped up to stabilize the rhythm. Johnson scored 11 points with inside and outside shots, while Wang Haoran seized the opportunity for three-pointers, improving the situation with multiple scoring points. Zhejiang was affected by fouls, with a decrease in defensive intensity on the perimeter. Fortunately, their offense remained stable with smooth cooperation, taking the lead at the end of the first quarter with a score of 32-30. In the second quarter, Zhejiang maintained good offensive continuity, with York scoring 12 points in the quarter. The only area needing improvement was controlling turnovers. Shenzhen had many opportunities but needed to improve their execution, especially He Xining, who was cold with his shooting, scoring only four points out of 11 attempts. However, other teammates performed well, preventing the score from being widened too much, ending the half trailing by seven points at 53-60. In the third quarter, Shenzhen's perimeter showed no signs of improvement, and their interior was further restricted, causing the team to gradually lose momentum and their scoring efficiency to drop. Despite Zhejiang's lack of organization during this period, they were once chased down to within one possession. However, York's superb individual ability turned the tide, with consecutive outside shots sparking a mini-scoring spree that instantly widened the gap to double digits, leading 84-70 after three quarters. In the final quarter, Zhejiang immediately called a timeout after losing six points. York stood out again to quell the opponent's momentum. Shenzhen showed great resilience, with He Xining and Thompson finishing…
