On January 1st, Beijing time, the CBA New Year's Day battle will feature five matchups, among which one of the most anticipated by fans is the match between Guangdong and Tianjin. Although Tianjin currently ranks low at 16th in the league and has recently suffered three consecutive losses, since the second stage, Tianjin's record has been quite poor, losing 12 games and only winning 3, including a surprising victory over Beijing BAW. However, Tianjin has a characteristic: whenever they play against Guangdong, they become very motivated. Last season, Guangdong and Tianjin played four regular-season games, with Tianjin achieving a 3-1 record. This season, the two teams met again in the club cup, and Tianjin still managed to defeat Guangdong. It can be said that if there are two teams in the league that are not afraid of Guangdong, Liaoning is one, and Tianjin is the other. The reason why Tianjin has been able to control Guangdong over the past year can be attributed to two factors. Firstly, it relies on a fierce player in the team - David James. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall and with a remarkable appearance, he can play as a three, four, or five. He can break through and score inside, and shoot three-pointers outside. He is a more troublesome opponent for Guangdong than Liaoning's Fu Hao and Zhang Zhenlin. This season, David James averages 25 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, which doesn't seem too strong, but in the last five games against Guangdong, he averages 41.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, and…

CBA Regular Season Round 25 Schedule for Tomorrow, January 1st: Liaoning vs Beijing, Guangdong vs Tianjin At 19:35 Beijing time on January 1st, there will be five games in the 25th round of the CBA regular season, with teams such as Guangdong, Beijing, Liaoning, and Xinjiang participating. Let's take a look at the matchups and predictions! Liaoning Seeks Revenge First Game: Beijing vs Liaoning In the previous match between Beijing and Liaoning, Liaoning narrowly lost 105-106 to Beijing. The upcoming matchup is highly anticipated. Liaoning has recently achieved a four-game winning streak, including victories over traditional powerhouses like Xinjiang and Guangdong. It's worth noting that Liaoning's lineup is not complete, with their main players logging significant minutes. Despite this, they have managed to withstand the pressure and secure hard-fought wins. Although Ferg's shooting has dipped, Wells has stepped up, scoring over 30 points in three consecutive games. Wang Lanchen has also scored in double digits in three straight games, while veterans Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu continue to exert their influence in the paint. Zeng Fanbo Aims for Breakout Facing Beijing away tomorrow, Liaoning must continue to rely on team play and strong defense. To alleviate their personnel shortage, Liaoning has signed foreign player Justin Patton. Beijing has lost six games in the second stage, although they persist in playing as a team, their scoring is quite even among players, and the three foreign players have not been able to carry the team in crucial moments. Zhou Qi has also been continuously absent, and his participation in the home game…

This season in the CBA has been incredibly competitive due to the absence of a dominant super team, giving multiple teams a chance at the championship. In the first stage, one team stood out with an impressive record of 9 wins and 1 loss, ranking them first in the CBA. As a traditional powerhouse, many fans believed they had a good shot at winning the title this year. However, as the second stage commenced, they began to reveal more and more issues. In their last four games, they suffered three losses and only one win, causing them to drop out of the top six in the rankings. If these players are not replaced, it seems unlikely that the team will be able to secure the championship. In the CBA regular season match between Xinjiang and Beijing, both traditional strong teams, the game was fiercely contested. Beijing led in the first half, but in the second half, their offense stalled, ultimately resulting in a 108:97 reversal by Xinjiang. After this loss, their record stands at 16 wins and 7 losses, dropping them to seventh place in the standings, outside the top six. Over the past four games, they have won only one (a narrow 110:109 victory over Tongxi, almost suffering a buzzer-beater), and if we look at the entire second stage, they have only managed 7 wins against 6 losses, with victories mostly coming against weaker opponents. Below is a list of the teams Beijing has faced during the second stage: Teams they've beaten include: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beikong, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Liaoning…

The game between Beijing Shougang and Tianjin team was truly an astonishing script that left everyone in disbelief. How should I put it? If you say this is a basketball game, some might think: isn't this too outrageous? To put it nicely, the game was a crushing defeat; to put it bluntly, it was like a real-life version of "Suicide Squad" - especially when Shougang's five small lineup seemed to be giving points to Tianjin. And this decision was both infuriating and amusing. Coach Xu Limin is truly a genius - with his unique approach, he created a massive collapse, causing people to marvel at this bizarre operation. The result of the game was that Beijing Shougang lost to Tianjin by a score of 80-93, a difference of a full 13 points. You could say that these 13 points were like a deep wound, cutting across the hearts of all Shougang fans. This was the lowest-scoring game for Beijing this season, with their three-point shooting performance being particularly dismal. Out of 31 three-point attempts, they only managed to make 6, an offensive efficiency so poor that they could apply for a certification as an "offensive rhythm master." If it weren't for Tianjin's strong defense, the score difference might have been even greater. But to be honest, Tianjin's performance today did indeed completely dismantle Beijing's offense. Especially with Gao Shi'ao's return, it was like adding a steel shield to Tianjin's interior defense, leaving Beijing's offense completely clueless. What's most baffling is that - in this game, Beijing clearly had three foreign…

CBA's winning streak was met with a focal battle as the Shandong men's basketball team hosted the Tianjin men's basketball team. The two teams almost decided the outcome in the first half, with Shandong men's basketball team forming a comprehensive suppression throughout the first half, with a point difference approaching 30 points. When they returned in the second half, although Tianjin men's basketball team's state improved, they were helpless due to the large point difference between the two teams. In the end, the whole game ended with Shandong men's basketball team defeating Tianjin men's basketball team 121:102.‌ Seven people from Shandong men's basketball team scored double digits, with Chris scoring 20 points, Gaili scoring 20 points, Guo Kai scoring 16 points and 8 rebounds, Yu Dehao scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, Xie Zhijie scoring 11 points, Kumajie scoring 11 points and 6 rebounds, and Gao Shiyan contributing a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists. Four people from Tianjin men's basketball team scored double digits, with David James taking a terrifying big double-double of 32 points and 20 rebounds, plus 8 assists, Lin Tingqian scoring 21 points, Laviet scoring 19 points and 6 assists, and Zheng Haoran scoring 15 points.‌ After the opening, Shandong men's basketball team was in high spirits, with Guo Kai's hot hand inside, making a wave of 7:0. Gao Shiao made a foul inside, using free throws to help Tianjin men's basketball team stop the scoring slump. Subsequently, Guo Kai continued to perform efficiently, with Chris dunking inside and scoring four…

The latest CBA standings have been released after the first five games of Round 23 of the regular season, with teams like Zhejiang, Shandong, and Shanghai leading the charge. Zhejiang easily defeated Shenzhen, propelling them to second place in the standings. Currently, the top two spots in the CBA standings are occupied by Zhejiang teams. Shandong defeated Tianjin and also advanced to the top four, ranking fourth in the standings. After victories by Shandong and Qingdao, reigning champions Liaoning were pushed down to seventh place, while Beijing slipped to eighth. The top of the CBA standings is currently in a state of flux. Guangsha, at the top with a record of 19 wins and 3 losses, remains firmly in first place, with their position relatively stable for the time being, as no other team has been able to challenge them. The teams ranked second to fifth in the standings have relatively close records. After this round of victories, Zhejiang's record became 17 wins and 6 losses, catapulting them to second place. Shanxi follows closely behind with a record of 17 wins and 5 losses. Shandong, after defeating Tianjin, improved their record to 16 wins and 7 losses, also advancing to fourth place. Xinjiang occupies the fifth spot in the standings with a record of 17 wins and 4 losses. Despite playing two fewer games, they still hold onto fifth place, which is quite an achievement. Qingdao is in sixth place with a record of 15 wins and 8 losses. Defending champions Liaoning have a record of 15 wins and 7…

As of the 20th round of the CBA schedule, Beijing Men's Basketball Team has a total record of 15 wins and 5 losses, ranking fifth in the standings. This performance does not match the luxurious lineup of the Beijing team. The five games that Beijing has lost so far were against Jilin, Tianjin, Shanxi, and Guangdong men's basketball teams. Among these four teams, Jilin and Tianjin are at the lower levels of the league. The fact that Beijing lost to them indicates that the team's performance is extremely unstable, and they do not have a sure win even against weaker opponents. Out of the 15 games that Beijing won, six were close victories, failing to demonstrate the aggressiveness expected of a strong team. What exactly is going on with Beijing Men's Basketball Team? Why are they struggling this season? It all boils down to these five reasons, and I'll only discuss the key points. Reason One: Xu Limin's Coaching Style is Too Gentle In basketball, exerting pressure on referees is also a strategy that can change their refereeing tendencies to some extent. However, Coach Xu rarely protests during games and seldom shows emotional expressions. As a result, Chen Yingjun, the core organizer of the perimeter, and Jermaine, the main offensive point of the perimeter, often suffer physical harm from opponents and do not benefit from favorable calls. Reason Two: The Frontcourt is Too Easily Targeted On the offensive end, Fan Ziming, Qiu Tian, and Solomon do not aim for mid-range shots when they get the ball, and even if they…
