Why is it that in today's CBA news, the excitement of the games seems to be overshadowed by various dramatic events off the court? From star player Zhou Qi's emotional outbursts on the court to referees once again becoming the focus of conflict, from the frequent changes in foreign players to the internal management crisis of Beijing Shougang, a series of issues that appear independent are actually like dominoes, reflecting the growing pains that the CBA cannot avoid in its journey towards professionalization. Is this a problem with the players or the league? It's worth our careful consideration. Zhou Qi has once again become the center of public opinion. In a crucial game for Qingdao Men's Basketball, he was ejected from the game after receiving technical fouls for his dissatisfaction with the referee's decision. This incident quickly sparked heated discussions, and there were even reports that he would likely face an additional suspension. However, this is not the first time Zhou Qi has become the center of controversy due to emotional outbursts. As early as the 2021 playoffs, he was fined for questioning the referee's decision on the court, leading people to jokingly say, "Zhou Qi's performance and temperament are always equally unpredictable." There is no denying that Zhou Qi is undoubtedly a top player in the CBA. At the center position, he has led his team to victory multiple times with his height and basketball IQ, and is even the "pillar" of the national team. However, his emotional management issues are like a scar that keeps recurring. Whether it's…

On January 17th, the CBA regular season continued with Beijing Shougang facing off against Qingdao Men's Basketball. After losing to Beikong Men's Basketball in the previous game, Shougang Men's Basketball was under considerable pressure, which is why Zhou Qi, who had missed several games previously, returned to support the team. Although Shougang Men's Basketball is generally stronger in terms of strength, under the leadership of Yang Hanshen, Qingdao Men's Basketball took a 4-point lead in the first quarter with a score of 22:18. In the second quarter, although Qingdao Men's Basketball still played at a leisurely pace, the momentum of the game remained on their side. Qingdao Men's Basketball won the quarter with a score of 33:25, taking an 8-point lead. At the end of the first half, Qingdao Men's Basketball led by 12 points. It was already disheartening enough that the team was trailing, but what made Beijing Shougang fans even more upset was that Zhou Qi was ejected from the game and could face additional penalties. Why did Zhou Qi engage in angry pursuit and scolding? During the game, Zhou Qi was dissatisfied with the referee's call and approached the referee to protest. Perhaps due to Zhou Qi's unfriendly attitude and impoliteness during the conversation, the referee called a technical foul on him. Referee No. 59's call against Zhou Qi caused his anger to explode. Zhou Qi rushed up to angrily chase and scold the referee, even appearing as if he were about to become physically aggressive. Zhou Qi should perhaps thank Referee No. 103, who, upon noticing…

A fiercely competitive Beijing derby turned into a one-sided affair, losing all its appeal. By the third quarter, it had become garbage time, and Beijing ultimately suffered a crushing defeat by 27 points, losing an important match. In this game, Beijing was completely overwhelmed throughout, constantly chasing points without any real chance. By the third quarter, they collapsed, losing by 11 points in that quarter alone. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Xu Limin threw in the towel, withdrawing his starters and replacing them with substitutes, effectively conceding defeat. Such a performance truly chilled the hearts of Beijing fans. After the game, head coach Xu Limin was furious, harshly criticizing the team for not displaying the expected fighting spirit. He stated that the absolute strength between both sides was not significantly different; we mostly lost to ourselves. This is what I most want to change about the Beijing Shougang team. Without this change, no amount of recruitment will be effective; we will be vulnerable in the future. Although the Beijing derby lacked appeal, the stadium was incredibly lively, with both sets of fans filling the stands and passionately cheering for their teams, chanting various slogans. Especially when Beijing was significantly behind, Beikong fans chanted a humiliating slogan, shouting "Replace Zhou Qi," to which Beijing fans responded with a five-word, domineering retort: "Zhou Qi is your father," which was quite amusing. Beikong's past performance did not measure up to Beijing's, and Beikong fans had been suppressed for too long. Now that they have the upper hand, they are fully releasing themselves. Although…

Oh no, the Beijing Derby is about to kick off, but Zhou Qi, the big man from the Beijing Ducks, has once again been ruled out! This time, even head coach Xu Limin has come out and said it directly: for Zhou Qi's long-term development, he needs a good rest. This has really set off alarm bells in many people's hearts, after all, this concerns not only the team's ranking but also the future of Chinese men's basketball! Where should we start with this story? Perhaps we should begin with Zhou Qi's recurring injuries. Recall the World Cup when his back injury flared up, directly impacting the game results! Later, at Guangdong Team, it was an on-and-off situation, with him missing the playoffs entirely! Now at Beijing Ducks, the situation hasn't improved much, with injuries and illnesses popping up here and there, causing real concern! These injuries seem to have it out for Zhou Qi! Consider that they were proudly sitting at first place during the first stage, but now they've dropped all the way to ninth! Who can stand that? Naturally, this has also brought joy to some Liaoning fans. They haven't held back on their teasing: "This car is a good car, it just doesn't drive much!" >"Spent a fortune on Sun Yue before, now spending a fortune on Zhou Qi," the sour tone is palpable even through the screen! It seems Zhou Qi's injuries are not only worrying the Beijing Ducks but have also become a topic of conversation for everyone! But let's not just laugh at…

At the beginning of the season, there were grand declarations of championship aspirations, but after only half of the CBA season, the team currently stands at ninth place in the league. During the offseason, significant investments were made in recruitment, with top salaries securing Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun. Expectations were high before the season began, but now there seems to be no excitement. Fans have long criticized the foreign player issues, and it's unclear if anyone has noticed that in recent years, foreign players at Shougang have not performed well. It is believed that the so-called team basketball severely limits the team's potential. Foreign players are not performing well, and domestic player problems are also significant. Among the three top-salary players, only Chen Yingjun is considered a good value for money. Zhou Qi has been playing intermittently due to injuries, and the performance of Fan Ziming in the frontcourt is even more disappointing. In the match against Zhejiang, Fan Ziming started and played for 25 minutes, making only 2 out of 13 shots and scoring 7 points with 6 rebounds. As an interior player, a shooting percentage of 2 out of 13 is clearly unsatisfactory. In the first quarter of the game, after Fang Shuo drew the defense and passed the ball, Fan Ziming broke through but failed to score on an open basket. This situation occurred twice more in the second half, leading many fans to comment: "Fan Ziming could compile a highlight reel of missed layups in a single season." Fan Ziming's interior skills are very rough,…

The second phase of the CBA league regular season is in full swing, and there was a fierce battle between the top-ranked Guangsha men's basketball team and the rising Beijing Shougang team. After four quarters of intense competition, Wang Bo led the Guangsha team to a thrilling 83-79 victory over the Beijing Shougang team, securing their 15th consecutive home win. Notably, after defeating the Beijing Shougang team, Guangsha maintained their position at the top of the standings, but news of further reinforcement has emerged. According to insiders, Guangsha is very likely to have reached an agreement with former Shanghai team forward Nongnali, who will join Wang Bo after completing the necessary procedures. Facing Beijing Shougang's tough defense, Guangsha once trailed by double digits during the game. Fortunately, under the leadership of key players like Hu Jinqiu, Brown, and Sun Minghui, Guangsha managed to turn the tide. Now, traditional powerhouses such as Beijing Shougang, Xinjiang, Liaoning, and Guangsha have all fallen to Guangsha, indicating that Guangsha is now closer than ever to the championship title. For Guangsha, the dark horse Shanxi team and the Shanghai team will be the biggest opponents this season. Under the rule of four quarters with seven foreign player appearances, the Shanxi and Shanghai teams, with their strong foreign players, pose significant challenges. After losing to the Shanxi team due to Liu Chuanxing's dominance on the boards, Guangsha quickly signed NBA center Boban. Recently, it has been revealed that after the four major foreign players - Brown, Knight, Carlton, and Boban - Guangsha has introduced another scoring…

On the evening of January 4th, Beijing time, the 26th round of the 2024-25 CBA regular season will see defending champions Liaoning Bensteel travel north to face fellow Northeast team Jilin Jiutai Rural Commercial Bank. Half a month ago, Jilin Men's Basketball managed to defeat Liaoning Men's Basketball with a score of 114 to 102, despite the absence of their core player Er Jiang, under the leadership of foreign players Jones and Kizlink. This time around, Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered a crushing defeat in their last away game against Beijing Shougang, making this an absolutely crucial match that they cannot afford to lose. Just before the game, Liaoning Men's Basketball received some uplifting news from the front lines. According to accurate information, core guard Zhao Jiwei, who has been out for over a month due to injury, is set to make his return in this match. Prior to this, Zhao Jiwei had traveled from Shenyang to Changchun with teammate Huang Qiushi to reunite with the team. After a long period of treatment and recovery, the esophageal inflammation that plagued him has finally been resolved. So far this season, Zhao Jiwei has averaged 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.64 steals per game, making him the team's assist leader and steal leader. In Zhao Jiwei's absence, Yang Ming had to constantly adjust the starting lineup, first using foreign player Fug as the point guard. However, Fug's offensive efficiency declined as he had to juggle both organizing and defensive responsibilities. Later, after much difficulty, new recruit Wang Lanqin's state exploded, and…

Beijing Shougang has had a season that can be described as starting high and ending low. Coach Xu Limin has become the subject of criticism from fans, and the three foreign players also have obvious shortcomings. Although Zhang Yunsong stated that they have been observing foreign players, there have been no concrete results. According to multiple media reports, Beijing Shougang's fourth foreign player has finally been confirmed as Nongnali, who previously played for Shanghai men's basketball team and is now returning to the CBA court. At 34 years old and with his functional style of play, does he really suit Beijing Shougang? Since Marbury left Beijing Shougang, the team has started using team foreign players. During this period, two foreign players stood out, one being Brown and the other being McRae. Brown joined Zhejiang Guangsha after experiencing Guangzhou Long Lions and became a top foreign player in the CBA. Of course, there are also fans joking that even if he stays in Beijing Shougang, he must play according to the team basketball concept, perhaps eventually becoming a subpar foreign player, as both Jerman and Omo were outstanding in the CBA last season. As other teams are adjusting their foreign players, Beijing Shougang has finally made a move. The choice is not the rumored Walker and Knicks, but Nongnali, who was previously reported by the media. Nongnali previously played for Shanghai men's basketball team, where the coach at the time was Li Qiuping. It's interesting to note that Shanghai men's basketball team was also focusing on team basketball at that time,…

105-90, Beijing Ducks won a key victory at home against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, completing a double kill against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. In this focus game, Zhou Qi, the main inside player of Beijing Ducks, returned, but due to his recent return, Zhou Qi's competitive state did not reach the best level, and he was still unable to take on the team's offensive responsibilities in the short term. After Chen Yingjun was injured and left the field unexpectedly, the three foreign players of Beijing Ducks were in a very low state, surprisingly, Zhang Cairen, the bench hero, stood out again. He continuously hit key three-point shots and scored 27 points throughout the game, becoming the top contributor to Beijing Ducks' victory. In this focus game against Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, Zhang Cairen really played the best game of the season. He played for 29 minutes throughout the game, scoring 10 out of 15, including 7 out of 12 three-point shots, scoring 27 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist, with a shooting percentage of 66.7% and a three-point percentage as high as 58.3%. His performance on the court is comparable to that of a super foreign aid. Zhang Cairen really has the temperament of a nerve shooter. He dares to fight and fight in critical moments. When the foreign aid cannot take on the heavy responsibility of the offense, he can dare to shoot three-point shots in critical moments, becoming a big killer on the outside line of Beijing Ducks. Such a fighting spirit is very admirable. As a meritorious…

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.…
