The big names are out! Yan Shouqi is resting, Patton is watching from the sidelines, and Yang Ming faces the risk of suspension and fines! The Liaoning Flying Leopards' lineup against the Beijing Ducks has been announced, with 11 players on the roster: Fu Hao, O.J. Mayo, Zhao Luchuan, Zhang Junhao, Willis, Li Xiaoxu, Yu Zechen, Zhang Chengzhi Feng, Wang Lanqin, Li Huyi, and Han Dejun. The Beijing Ducks' 12-man roster includes Zhou Qi, Chen Yingjun, Solomon, German, Zeng Fanbo, Fang Shuo, Lei Meng, Zhang Cairen, Fan Ziming, Qiu Tian, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Omo. From the two teams' rosters, it can be seen that Liaoning is only fielding 11 players because Yan Shouqi is still recovering from a cold. New signing Patton made the trip to Beijing despite the long journey, but due to the CBA registration office being closed for the holidays, he made a wasted trip and can only watch as a spectator, which is a pity. With Zhou Qi's return, Beijing is fielding their full-strength squad with three foreign players, while Liaoning has two. On paper, Liaoning is not Beijing's match, but as the saying goes, "A dead camel is bigger than a horse." I believe in Liaoning, I'm optimistic about Liaoning, and I hope Liaoning can win despite being the underdog! It's worth noting that Liaoning's head coach, Yang Ming, has already accumulated six technical fouls and may face the risk of suspension and fines. According to CBA rules, during the regular season, when a head coach accumulates technical fouls seven to nine times, they will…

According to a report by the Beijing Youth Daily, the struggling Beijing team is actively seeking a fourth foreign player and has engaged in deep discussions with James Nunnally, a former Houston Rockets player who briefly joined Shanghai. Nunnally stands at 201cm tall, born in 1990, and is nearing 35 years of age. In his time representing Shanghai, he averaged 22.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in 33 minutes, with a two-point shooting percentage of 49% and an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 50%. From the data alone, Nunnally appears to be a highly efficient foreign player, with the only downside being his age. However, according to feedback from Shanghai fans who have watched him play, Nunnally is essentially a pure shooter with excellent accuracy but lacks ball-handling skills. This seems similar to Beijing's current type of player, Omer, but with higher efficiency. Coach Xu Limin seems to favor this kind of team-oriented foreign players. Currently, the team's players such as Jerman, Solomon, and Omer do not stand out individually but are indeed suitable for the team. However, this also brings about a problem: when things are going smoothly, everything is fine, and the team can win matches easily. But during decisive moments, without a foreign player capable of delivering under pressure, Beijing seems to rely solely on Chen Yingjun to deliver the hard shots. Facing Shandong, Chen Yingjun had a big breakout, scoring 38 points and crucially adding 7 more points to help the team stay in the game. Despite this outstanding performance, Beijing still lost the match.…
