Shandong Men's Basketball Team faced off against Ningbo Men's Basketball Team at home, a game with little suspense as one wonders how the third-ranked team could lose. It was inevitable that Ningbo would not see the possibility of winning and would suffer a ten-game losing streak. In the first quarter, Shandong completely dominated Ningbo with a score of 36-17, a 19-point gap. The disparity in strength and form was significant, with Shandong overwhelming Ningbo in all aspects, playing very relaxedly. Ningbo had no resistance, with poor foreign aid and even worse local players. Gao Shiyan is known as the "master baker," Guo Kai as the "mid-range king," Moore as the "three-point sharpshooter," and Kuma Jie as the "cake-eating master." In the second quarter, after readjusting, Shandong continued to control the pace of the game, further widening the point difference. Although Ningbo's offense improved somewhat, it was far from enough, especially since they couldn't defend well, with a defense riddled with holes. Chen Peidong scored an open three-pointer, creating a 25-point gap. Even the referees couldn't bear it, turning Kuma Jie's good block into goaltending, awarding Ningbo two points. The two teams maintained a gap of around 20 points, with Shandong not expanding it and Ningbo unable to reduce it, ending the half with a score of 63-45. Statistics: Machi 23 points, Maddion 11 points 4 rebounds, Lacossevic 6 points 6 rebounds, Wang Junjie 2 points, Wang Zirui 5 assists 12 steals, Howard 1 assist; Kuma Jie 14 points 4 rebounds 2 steals, Moore 13 points, Guo Kai 8 points, Zhang…

Shandong Men's Basketball Team has achieved the second place in the entire league this season, and they really need to thank Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team for their clearance sale during the offseason last year. At that time, Guangzhou sent away many of their core players, and Guo Kai joined Shandong Men's Basketball Team. It was originally thought that under the circumstances where Tao Hanlin, an experienced inside player, was present in the team, Guo Kai might not get too many opportunities. However, under the guidance of Qiu Biao, Guo Kai has now replaced Tao Hanlin and become the number one domestic inside player in Shandong. In the recent game where Shandong defeated Jiangsu 102-86, Guo Kai started and played for 33 minutes, shooting 4 out of 6 for a total of 13 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, with a +24 plus-minus value tied for first on the team with Moore. In the absence of Chris, his partnership with Kumajie in the frontcourt also helped Shandong successfully defend their home court. Although Guo Kai is only 2.05 meters tall, his efforts in rebounding and his positive attitude in defense over the past few years under the tutelage of Guo Shiqiang have indeed won unanimous recognition from fans. This season, he averages 7.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.2 steals per game in 27.8 minutes of playing time, with a shooting percentage of 56.9%, which is even better than Tao Hanlin (who averages only 6.3 points and 3.8 rebounds this season). During the offseason last year, Shandong Men's…

A Sigh, 15-Year Veteran Tao Hanlin: Why Is There Only a Lonely Back in the Applause?‌ With a record of 19 wins and 8 losses, temporarily ranking third in the standings, this season's Shandong men's basketball team has impressed everyone with both its performance and the team's spirit. Coach Qiu Biao has been strategic, the four foreign players have been diligent, and domestic players such as Gao Shiyan, Guo Kai, and Yu Dehao have also given their all, creating a convincing performance. However, it seems that all of this has little to do with one person, or perhaps not much at all. If it were just an inconsequential role player, it might not be so frustrating for everyone. But he was once the core of Shandong men's basketball team and even became a signature player at one point, which makes people feel helpless. This is the power forward: Little Shark Tao Hanlin. 1. Data Performance So Far This Season In the 25 games played, Tao Hanlin averages 18.2 minutes of playing time, scoring 6.6 points, grabbing 3.8 rebounds, assisting 1.0 times, and blocking 0.7 times. Whether it's playing time or data contribution, combined with past seasons' performances, it's almost a cliff-like decline! This data is basically on par with the 11-12 season! (Average of 17.3 minutes, 6.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.4 assists) But back then, Tao Hanlin was only 20 years old and basically still in his rookie stage. You should know that three years ago, Tao Hanlin was still the undisputed tactical and spiritual double-core of Shandong men's basketball…

On January 4th, Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued with a match between Guangdong and Shandong at Guangdong's home court. Guangdong entered the game with a record of 14 wins and 11 losses, ranking 9th in the league. In their previous game, they won against Tianjin by 7 points at home, but the team appeared exhausted. On the other hand, Shandong had just defeated the strong Xinjiang team on the road, ending their undefeated streak at home. Currently, Shandong is in high spirits with an 18-7 record, ranking fifth in the league and among the championship contenders. One of the highlights of this game was the matchup between the two guards, Xu Jie and Gao Shiyan, both aiming to lead their teams to victory. Let's look forward to seeing who will come out on top. Here is a summary of the full game and player ratings for Guangdong! Up to this point in the league, Guangdong, aiming for the finals, is only ranked 9th in the regular season, a result that fans cannot accept. Hu Mingxuan is indefinitely sidelined due to injury issues, and the team's choice of small foreign aid has been disappointing, leaving only Xu Jie with scoring ability. With limited rotation, he has to play longer minutes, which makes him very tired. The last game was an example; although they won against Tianjin, Xu Jie gritted his teeth to finish the game. Whenever he is not on the court, Guangdong gets targeted. This has become a norm, and the team must quickly solve the issue of…

The new season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball League is in full swing. On the court of the Shandong Youth Women's Volleyball Team, Olympic champion Yang Fangxu has made an appearance! What's even more delightful is that Yang Fangxu is leading the Shandong Youth Women's Volleyball Team into the Super League as head coach this time. Upon seeing this, fans have also been quick to give their support and praise to Yang Fangxu! Public records show that Yang Fangxu was born in Weifang, Shandong in 1994! Her position on the field is as a spiker. From a young age, Yang Fangxu had excellent physical conditions; at the age of 13, she stood at 1.83 meters tall and had very good body coordination! By chance, she was spotted by a volleyball coach. Because Yang Fangxu had always performed well academically, her parents initially did not agree for her to take up volleyball training. After much consideration, however, they eventually gave their consent! In 2008, Yang Fangxu joined the Shandong provincial team. In 2012, she followed the Chinese National Youth Women's Volleyball Team to win the Asian Youth Championship. In 2013, after winning the World Youth Championship with the National Youth Team, Yang Fangxu caught the attention of Lang Ping and was recruited into the national team. Afterwards, through her own efforts, Yang Fangxu gradually established herself within the national team. In 2014, she followed the Chinese women's volleyball team to achieve fourth place at the Swiss Women's Volleyball Elite Tournament. In 2015, Yang Fangxu participated in the World Championships with the…
