On January 17th, Beijing time, the selection of CBA All-Star starters has sparked significant controversy and farce. Is it true that the selection process disregards a player's actual abilities? Three teams have been severely impacted. Choosing All-Star players should not only consider whether fans support you or your popularity but also take into account a player's abilities, their contributions to the team, and the team's overall performance. However, this year's All-Star starting lineup has indeed caused considerable controversy, with several teams feeling aggrieved because, despite their excellent records, their core players are unable to secure a spot in the starting lineup. Following the announcement of the starting lineup, the two teams most affected are undoubtedly Shanxi and Shandong, currently ranked second and third in the Northern Division. Despite their high rankings, neither team managed to secure a single player in the All-Star starting lineup, making it even more challenging for them to make the All-Star team at all. Isn't this situation problematic? For instance, the starting lineup includes four guards: Zhao Jiwei, Guo Ailun, Zhao Rui, and Xu Jie. The frontcourt for the North is Zeng Fanbo, Zhou Qi, and Yang Hanshen, while the South features Hu Jinqiu, Zhou Peng, and Lofton. Upon the release of this list, Shanxi and Shandong were left speechless. As two powerhouse teams ranked second and third, they couldn't get a single player into the lineup. Is this appropriate? Doesn't Shanxi have anyone deserving of an All-Star starting spot? Take Zhang Ning as an example; he plays with great intensity, has impressive statistics, and ranks…

Translation of the article content into English: As the CBA regular season progresses, the competition for the playoffs becomes increasingly fierce. In particular, the performance of domestic guards has become a key factor in determining how far each team can go in the playoffs. While the performance of foreign players is still important, the gap between teams has been somewhat leveled due to restrictions on the number of foreign players. As a result, the level and performance of domestic guards have become more prominent. Currently, the performance of domestic guards in the CBA can be divided into four tiers. The first tier consists of players who can become the core of their respective teams. There are currently only two such players: Xu Jie from Guangdong and Gao Shiyan from Shandong. They play important roles in their teams, with coaches having high trust in them, and their ball usage is on par with that of foreign players. Xu Jie averages nearly 40 minutes per game this season, with stable statistics of 16 points and 8 assists, becoming a key figure in Guangdong's tactical deployment. In crucial games, Coach Du Feng almost never substitutes him, demonstrating his importance to the team. Gao Shiyan also performs exceptionally well, especially in the 31st round where he contributed 19 points and 7 assists, showcasing his core status within the team. His two crucial three-pointers laid the foundation for Shandong's victory, highlighting his ability and influence in critical moments. The second-tier guards are those who can effectively support foreign players. These players include Zhao Rui from…

In the Zhejiang derby match between Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu and Zhejiang Fangxingdu, Zhejiang Chouzhou performed outstandingly in the first half. It seems that head coach Wang Shilong prepared well for this game, as the players were unified in their strategies and thoughts on both offense and defense. They maintained their offensive characteristics, passing and sharing the ball well. On the other hand, Guangsha's defense was not very targeted, failing to control the opponent's outside shooting. Zhejiang Chouzhou's three-point shooting was impressive, with York and Wang Yibo continuously hitting threes. However, the rotation was limited, mainly with seven players rotating, which would be a test of the main players' stamina in the second half. At the end of the first half, Zhejiang Chouzhou led Zhejiang Guangsha by 10 points with a score of 64-54. In the third quarter, Guangsha started to catch up, while Zhejiang Chouzhou continued with their seven-player rotation. Coach Wang Shilong was really reluctant to substitute his main players. The physical exertion caused Chouzhou to miss shots frequently. York had played the entire three quarters, and Wang Shilong didn't let him rest for even a second. By the end of the third quarter, Zhejiang Chouzhou only had a two-point lead over Guangsha. In the crucial fourth quarter, both teams played fiercely, living up to the name of the Zhejiang derby, with both sides fighting to the last bullet. Coach Wang Shilong of Chouzhou insisted on using only seven players throughout the game, not trusting the substitutes enough to let them play. In the final moments of the game,…

Fans' focus has shifted to which players are likely to be selected for the national team.

His assist and steal capabilities rank first in the league, with stable performances. As long as he remains healthy, Sun Minghui still possesses the ability to enter the national team. Xu Jie (Guangdong Team) Round Performance: 17 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists Season Data: Averaging 16 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists Analysis: As Guangdong's main guard, Xu Jie took on more responsibility for organizing and scoring in the absence of Hu Mingxuan, showcasing his "all-round" player characteristics.

Guangsha Team's move is simply amazing! In the 28th round of the regular season, they made a thrilling comeback with an 83:79 victory over Shougang, igniting a surge of excitement among fans! This match unveiled three key strengths of the Guangsha team, and I believe that the CBA championship could very well be within their grasp! Firstly, let's talk about Boban, the interior anchor. Although his statistics may seem average, his presence on the court is undeniable! Facing Zhou Qi, he didn't put up any earth-shattering numbers, but it was clear that Shougang's offense was stifled. Boban is like a moving fortress on the defensive end, and his contributions are truly visible! Just imagine being able to contain a player of Zhou Qi's caliber; the value of such a player is self-evident. He is undoubtedly a crucial piece in Guangsha's quest for the championship! Secondly, Guangsha currently sits atop the league standings, leading the second-place team by three wins and the fourth-place team by five wins. This is no small feat! This ranking advantage is significant! What does this mean? It means that their position in the top four of the regular season is secure! The playoff schedule will also be more favorable. This is absolutely fantastic news for the team's overall strategy! Lastly, and perhaps most excitingly, Guangsha has achieved a 15-game home winning streak! This is not just luck; it's a testament to their strength! The "Brown + Sun Minghui + Hu Jinqiu" trio is simply the coolest on the CBA court! The power of domestic players has…

On January 9th, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the second week of All-Star voting. The backcourt players in the South Division have become a focus of attention. In addition to the heated discussion among fans about Hu Mingxuan's approach to Guo Ailun, Xu Jie has also firmly established himself as the top player in the South Division. Perhaps Du Feng's continuous mention of fans voting more for Xu Jie at post-game press conferences has had a certain effect. After all, the Guangdong head coach personally campaigning can exert significant market influence. It is also the only instance so far this season where a head coach has helped his protégé campaign for votes. The top four backcourt players in the South Division are: Xu Jie (496,052), Guo Ailun (407,493), Hu Mingxuan (386,402), Sun Minghui (246,391). For Sun Minghui, he has clearly become the "biggest loser" in this All-Star voting. Compared to Xu Jie's first place in the backcourt, there is a difference of one time, a full 240,000 votes. Guo Ailun and Hu Mingxuan are only about 20,000 votes apart. According to the fact that both are top-tier stars in the CBA, even if they continue to be on the sidelines, they can still receive a large number of fan votes, with 407,493 and 386,402 respectively. Who can lock down the starting position in the third stage will require the final week of voting. Given that both have massive fan bases, a fierce competition is foreseeable. Sun Minghui is quite embarrassed. According to the attendance rate and performance of the…

On January 3rd, it was reported that on January 2nd, Zhejiang Guangsha officially announced the signing of former NBA center and Serbian player Boban. On January 3rd, Boban trained with the team and showed off his "giant physique" to his two new teammates, Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui. This season, Zhejiang Guangsha continues to maintain a strong strength and climbed to the top of the league after the start of the second stage of the competition. Guangsha's two inside players, Carton and Knight, are 2.08 meters tall, with Knight preferring the No. 4 position, averaging 13 points and a three-point shooting percentage of 33%. The 2.05-meter-tall Carton averages 11 points and grabs 5 rebounds. For Guangsha, who is determined to win the championship, such performance still does not meet the requirements of the team, so they have recently acted quickly to sign former NBA center Boban. The 36-year-old Boban Marjanovic is from Serbia, standing at 2.24 meters tall. He entered the NBA in 2015 and has played for teams such as the Spurs, Pistons, Clippers, 76ers, Mavericks, and Rockets, appearing in a total of 331 games and averaging 5.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 8.7 minutes per game. Boban's huge height advantage gives him super-strong rebounding and rim protection abilities, which is also an area that Guangsha urgently needs to strengthen. On January 2nd, Zhejiang Guangsha officially announced Boban's signing. Today, Boban has met with the Guangsha players. He also compared the size of his hands with Hu Jinqiu, and the result was that Boban's palms were two sizes larger…

The CBA All-Star voting has been a hot topic, and frankly, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that Zhao Rui became the top vote-getter. How is this possible? A player averaging less than 10 points per game is now the top vote-getter? Isn't this just for fun? Zhao Rui only played 14 games this season, averaging 9.6 points, which is simply unacceptable. You know, Jones averages 33.3 points, yet he can only come off the bench now. This voting result is really speechless. Guo Ailun only played 7 games and could be selected as a starter, with an average of 4 turnovers per game. His team, Guangzhou, is currently on a 9-game losing streak. How can he still be selected? Is this a joke? Sun Minghui leads the team in first place, averaging 9.2 assists per game, yet he can only come off the bench now. This selection standard is really incomprehensible. This voting result does not take into account the actual performance of the players at all; it's purely based on their fan base. If this continues, the credibility of the CBA All-Star will eventually be ruined. Xu Jie has been really fierce this season, playing in all 25 games without missing one, averaging 16 points and 7.6 assists, and always stepping up in critical moments. Hu Jinqiu's dominance in the paint is undeniable, averaging 19.5 points, ranking second among domestic players in scoring ability, leading Guangsha to a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, topping the standings. Lofthouse is even more impressive, averaging 23.1 points,…

Although Sun Minghui may not have many advantages when facing some European and American teams, he is definitely capable of holding his own on the Asian stage. Unfortunately, during this summer's overseas training camp and the recent Asian Qualifiers, Sun Minghui failed to catch the eye of Guo Shiqiang. Frustrated but determined, he has continued to prove himself in this season's league matches. If China wants to avenge their loss against Japan in next month's Asian Qualifiers, Guo Shiqiang should really consider bringing Sun Minghui back into the national team. In Guangsha's recent 114-75 victory over Guangzhou, Sun Minghui started for 34 minutes, shooting 5 out of 10 and scoring 15 points with 12 assists and 10 steals, achieving an impressive triple-double. His plus-minus rating of +43 was the highest on the team. It's worth noting that Guangsha only won by 39 points, yet Sun Minghui contributed to a net win of 43 points while on the court, which is quite remarkable. Despite his weakness in outside shooting, Sun Minghui can be difficult to contain when he finds his rhythm. In a previous match where he led the team to defeat Guangdong, he made 8 out of 16 three-pointers, scoring a total of 31 points. Additionally, his ability to break through defenses and organize plays is something the current national team desperately needs. If Zhao Jiwei continues to struggle with injuries, Sun Minghui should not only be included in the national team but also considered as the main point guard by Guo Shiqiang. Currently averaging 15.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 9.2…

CBA 24-25 season regular season has now reached the halfway point, and among the teams that have performed the best are undoubtedly Guangsha and Shanxi! Guangsha has been outstanding this season, with their core players Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu maintaining good health and avoiding major injuries. The team's foreign player selection has also been appropriate, with Brown, Carlton, and Knight integrating well into the team, providing significant assistance to Guangsha. This has greatly enhanced Guangsha's strength, resulting in a record of 19 wins and 3 losses, ranking them at the top of the league! Shanxi, on the other hand, has been the dark horse of the season, achieving a record of 17 wins and 5 losses, placing them third in the league, only two wins behind Guangsha. They still have a chance to compete for the top spot, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Their foreign players have exceptional individual abilities, and domestic players such as Zhang Ning, Yuan Shuai, Liu Chuanxing, and Jia Mingru have all performed exceptionally well, giving the team the qualifications to compete for the championship title! Shanxi and Guangsha have both emerged as strong contenders for the championship this season, and in this match, they coincidentally faced each other. If Guangsha could defeat their opponents, they would continue to solidify their position at the top of the league. However, if Shanxi were to win, they would move even closer to the top spot! Both teams are very strong, and the outcome of the game is crucial for determining the direction of the league standings,…
