The CBA season has progressed to this point, and only now have we discovered four local players capable of playing tough battles. Let's see who they are? First: Wang Ruize (Qingdao Team / Avg. 40.9 minutes) Wang Ruize, 29 years old, stands at 1.99 meters tall and plays as a forward for Qingdao Team, serving as their core player. In this season's regular season, he played in 22 games with an average playing time of 40.8 minutes, ranking first in the league. During this period, he averaged 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists, with a shooting percentage of 44.5%. Selected in the second round, fifth overall in 2019, he has become increasingly outstanding, with comprehensive skills, excellent offensive and defensive capabilities on the wing, and strong performance in critical moments. His average playing time truly demonstrates his "iron man" qualities. Second: Xu Jie (Guangdong / Avg. 36.3 minutes) Xu Jie, 24 years old, stands at 1.79 meters tall and plays as a guard for the team. This season, he played in 27 regular-season games, averaging 36.2 minutes (ranked 13th in the league), scoring 15.9 points, grabbing 3.6 rebounds, and dishing out 7.9 assists, setting a new personal career high in assists. Not only does he have offensive capabilities, but he can also connect the team's offense and drive his teammates to score. During Hu Mingxuan's absence, Xu Jie took on more responsibilities and performed at a "small foreign aid" level. For example, in Guangdong's narrow 120-111 victory over Tianjin, he played for 43 minutes, shooting 7-for-18 for 16 points…

It's not easy to win a game, is it? Both CBA giants Guangdong and Liaoning fought until the last second to determine the outcome, with Guangdong barely beating Beikong by defending Zhang Fan's final attack. Liaoning wasn't as lucky as Guangdong; their last attack was a three-pointer from the outside by Lao Han Tui, missing the chance to tie the game, and ultimately losing by a margin of 3 points. Fortunately, they still managed to maintain their top three position in the standings. The competition in this game was fierce. The undermanned Qingdao team, determined to win, played at home and adopted a short rotation. Liaoning, with a large number of players, also fought hard. However, Liaoning didn't start as smoothly as Qingdao, digging themselves into an early hole, losing by 16 points in the first quarter and trailing by as many as 19 points. Fortunately, from the second quarter onwards, Liaoning's entire team stepped up, not only filling the gap but also overtaking the score, leading by double digits at one point. However, Liaoning failed to maintain their advantage, collapsing in the final quarter and eventually losing the game by a margin of 3 points, which was quite regrettable. After the game, head coach Yang Ming took full responsibility for the loss, claiming that the defeat was entirely the coach's fault. However, looking at the performance of the players, there was one person who was the culprit for the loss. Yes, this person is Yan Shouqi, who performed poorly but was heavily relied upon by Yang Ming. In the…

CBA regular season, a strong confrontation between Liaoning men's basketball and Qingdao men's basketball. This is the third time the two sides have met this season, with both sides drawing 1-1 in the previous two encounters. In this encounter, the defending champions have a higher overall level, even without Zhang Zhenlin, they are stronger than Qingdao men's basketball, and Webber has arrived.

Qingdao lost to Guangdong in their last game, which was a big blow to the team. The team urgently needs a victory to reverse the trend, and defeating the defending champions is undoubtedly the best way. However, it is not easy for the team to defend their home court, and they will need superhuman efforts from all members to stand a chance.

Translation of the article content into English: In the 26th round of the CBA, Xinjiang team really had a tough time. Zhao Rui and Abudu Salamu were not on the court, so Qi Lin carried the team throughout the game. They finally managed to win the game, which was quite suspenseful. Xinjiang team started the game with difficulty. In the first quarter, their three-point shooting wasn't great. Qi Lin couldn't find his rhythm on the court, and his teammates were also out of form. As a result, they were beaten by Sichuan team with an 11-point gap. In the second quarter, Qi Lin suddenly found his touch, scoring several consecutive offensive rounds and leading the team to a counterattack climax. He scored 12 points in a single quarter, bringing the score back. In the third quarter, Sichuan team was completely restricted by Xinjiang's defense. Their three-point shooting was only 1 out of 10, which was quite ugly. At this moment, Qi Lin played particularly smartly on the court, leading his teammates to widen the point difference to 12 points. In the final quarter, Sichuan team suddenly launched a counterattack, making 6 out of 14 three-point shots to catch up with the score. Qi Lin stood out again at this time, scoring 10 points with 4 out of 7 shots, helping the team stabilize the situation. Qi Lin really showed his dominance in this game, with a terrifying stat line of 30 points and 11 rebounds. This performance was especially crucial when two main players were absent from the team.
