In the CBA regular season, Guangdong suffered an 81-115 defeat against Shanghai. Despite a good start from Guangdong, Shanghai managed to quickly regain the lead after a surge, leaving Guangdong trailing for the remainder of the game. The score continued to widen, ultimately resulting in a crushing loss. Throughout the match, Xu Jie, Xu Xin, Wang Shaojie, and Du Runwang delivered passable performances. Shanghai targeted Xu Jie throughout the game, knowing that restricting him would prevent Guangdong from establishing an offensive rhythm. This led to Xu Jie scoring 11 points with a 5/12 shooting record and 4 turnovers, but he remained one of the better performers on the team. Xu Xin also played well, being effective both under the basket and in drawing opponents, although his status remains relatively low. Wang Shaojie entered the game when the score difference widened, going 2/2 for 4 points and 2 rebounds, not a bad result. Du Runwang had his best three-point shooting performance recently, going 5/10 for 13 points, hopefully maintaining this form. Huang Rongqi, Morand, Walter, Bazley, Zhang Wenyi, Zhang Haojia, Ren Junfei, and Yang Yi all had disappointing performances. Huang Rongqi's main issue is his butterfingers; he crumbles at crucial moments and seems only capable against weaker opponents. Morand faced endless criticism, contributing nothing in the paint. While his previous defensive dominance was commendable, this game saw him constantly missing assignments, leaving Guangdong's interior defense vulnerable. Walter went 1/3 in his six minutes on the court, but did not play further, for reasons unknown. Bazley also underperformed; previously known for his…

The 31st round of the second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season continued with a focus on the fierce competition between the strong Guangdong men's basketball team and their local rivals, the Guangzhou team. Ultimately, the more powerful Guangdong team managed to narrowly defeat the dark horse Guangzhou men's basketball team 85-77, thanks to the outstanding performances of Xu Jie, Jilunwote, Ren Junfei, and Wang Shaojie. Notably, Guangdong was trailing by as many as 19 points at halftime but managed to level the score with an offensive surge in the third quarter. The game remained close until the final moments of the fourth quarter when Guangdong coach Du Feng deployed his ace in the hole, Wang Shaojie, to secure the victory. In this match, the three main players of Guangdong, Xu Jie, Jilunwote, and Ren Junfei, were once again the key figures in the comeback. Despite the poor performance of core players Morand and Bazley, as well as frequent mistakes by domestic core players Zhang Haojia and Huang Rongqi, Guangdong almost suffered an upset loss to Guangzhou. Fortunately, in the decisive moments, Guangdong abandoned the talented center Xu Xin and the strongest defensive player Morand from previous games, and Wang Shaojie stepped up to deliver crucial blocks and rebounds to help Guangdong win. Although Wang Shaojie had been benched in previous games, his support for Du Feng in this game proved effective. For Guangdong, the current entire inside line tactical system and personnel rotation is still very clear. When facing teams without a strong center, Guangdong's first choice for…

The second stage of the CBA regular season's 31st round is in full swing, with a fierce battle between traditional powerhouse Guangdong Men's Basketball and their local rivals, Guangzhou Men's Basketball. After four quarters of intense competition, the visiting Guangdong team managed to reverse a 19-point deficit and defeat Guangzhou 85-77, achieving their longest winning streak this season at seven games. Notably, Guangdong was trailing by nearly 20 points at halftime but managed to overtake in the third quarter under the leadership of Xu Jie, Ren Junfei, and Jermaine Taylor. In the decisive moments, Du Feng used Wang Shaojie as a trump card to lock down Guangzhou, helping Guangdong secure a hard-fought victory. For Guangdong, while they have many capable players in their frontcourt, Du Feng prefers targeted use of various rotation starters. Through the individual abilities of Xu Jie, Jermaine Taylor, and Ren Junfei, Guangdong overtook in just half a quarter of the third game. However, Guangzhou relied on their foreign players' individual abilities to retake the lead in the final quarter. When Guangdong was in a passive position, Du Feng used Wang Shaojie to great effect. Wang Shaojie contributed key blocks on defense and locked down Guangzhou's scoring in the final moments. After securing two crucial rebounds, Guangdong converted them into points to seal the victory. In the final moments, Guangdong benched Morand and ousted Xu Xin from the center position, promoting Wang Shaojie to achieve a good chemical reaction. It is clear that Guangdong's frontcourt tactical system has clear divisions when facing teams like Guangzhou and Tianjin…

Du Feng made a mistake! The CBA No. 1 pick's fame exceeds his ability, hailed as the next Yi Jianlian This season, some of the better-performing teams have very capable centers! For example, the rising Shanxi team has Liu Chuanxing; after Guangsha lost to Shanxi, they realized the importance of a big center and signed Boban; Beijing, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Shandong, and other teams all have big centers stationed. Now let's take a look at Guangdong's frontcourt? It is completely dependent on foreign aid because the frontcourt is weak, so they signed three big foreign players: Jilunwate, Morland, and Beizeli. Yi Jianlian retired, Zhou Qi went to the Beijing team, and Guangdong's frontcourt was left with only two young players, Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin. Therefore, the Hongyuan club borrowed Wang Shaojie from Beikong, hoping that Wang Shaojie could support Guangdong's frontcourt! However, Wang Shaojie's performance in Guangdong is far below expectations, very poor, and even marginalized. In the game where Guangdong lost to Zhejiang, Wang Shaojie only scored 3 points; in the game where Guangdong lost to Liaoning, Wang Shaojie did not score. It is understood that the Hongyuan club gave the Beikong club some rental fees, but not much, and the rental period is only one year. Wang Shaojie should not stay in the Guangdong team next season. Wang Shaojie has not made much progress since coming to the CBA. Wang Shaojie was already well-known during his time in the CUBA. He was predicted by outsiders to be the strongest No. 1 pick in CBA history and was even…

Originally, the Guangdong men's basketball team of the CBA League defeated the Shandong men's basketball team at home without any danger. This game successfully stabilized Guangdong's top eight ranking and ended Shandong's five consecutive victories in recent times. The victory of this game was a great boost for all the players of the Guangdong team, and they were very happy. However, there was one player who might not be so happy because of his poor performance, and he was even abandoned by Du Feng in the second half. This player is Wang Shaojie, the former No. 1 pick in the CBA. Wang Shaojie only played for 2 minutes and 50 seconds in this game, basically all in the first half. In the second quarter of the game, due to one of Wang Shaojie's defenses, it caused Du Feng's dissatisfaction. When he was substituted during the timeout, Du Feng scolded Wang Shaojie fiercely, and Wang Shaojie appeared very depressed. Since then, Wang Shaojie has basically been in a state of being abandoned, and he only got 0 points and 2 rebounds in this game. It is worth mentioning that recently, Wang Shaojie's playing time has not been stable due to physical reasons. This is his first appearance for Guangdong men's basketball team after the New Year. The previous game was against Liaoning team. At that time, Guangdong men's basketball team lost to the opponent, and Wang Shaojie also only got 0 points in that game, but that game was played for 14 minutes and got 0 points, which is not as…

In the CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Shenzhen 91-84 in an away game. This victory was hard-won for Guangdong, as they faced challenges with few players stepping up and Xu Jie experiencing discomfort. Despite these difficulties, they managed to maintain their lead and secure the win. Four players delivered perfect performances throughout the game. Notably, for Wat, he was able to carry the team during the first half when there were no clear scoring opportunities. Although his performance in the second half was not as explosive as the first, he still managed to score 38 points, demonstrating his determination to hold the situation. Xu Jie also played exceptionally well, contributing continuous points in the final moments and maintaining control of the ball to stabilize the game, finishing with 9 points and 7 assists. Zhang Haojia has been performing exceptionally well recently, particularly in his ability to score while holding the ball, reaching peak form. He remained tough during the game, scoring 2+1 and accumulating 14 points overall. On the defensive end, he also completed his tasks effectively, successfully regaining his top form. Xu Xin also had a commendable performance, maintaining perfect finishing inside and limiting opponents defensively, recording 12 points and 3 blocks, consistently delivering at a high level. Bazley and Ren Junfei gave passable performances. Bazley's finishing was slightly lacking in this game, but he showed a positive sign by daring to break through with the ball. His defense and rebounding remained solid, and it is hoped that his offensive game will gradually improve. Ren Junfei, although not having…

During the off-season, Zhou Qi's departure significantly weakened Guangdong's defensive capabilities. However, the team hoped to mitigate this loss by securing the services of Wang Shaojie, the top draft pick from Beikong. Unfortunately, as the season progressed, Wang's performance has been less than satisfactory. In a recent match against their long-standing rival Liaoning, the young and energetic Wang struggled to assert himself against Liaoning's formidable duo known as the Yin-Yang Masters, showing no advantage. In this game, Wang came off the bench to play for 12 minutes, failing to score with one shot attempt and only managing to grab two rebounds. In contrast, Liaoning's Yin-Yang Masters, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, scored 16 points with 12 rebounds and 8 points with 5 rebounds respectively. If Wang had performed better, Guangdong might have stood a chance to keep the game suspenseful until the final moments. Reflecting on Wang's career, he had previously led the Tsinghua-Peking University team to victory in the CBA All-Star Rising Stars Game before joining the league, earning him the MVP title. He achieved his best career stats of 11 points and 6.9 rebounds within just two years in the league. However, in recent years, his performance has not improved but rather declined. Initially seen as a key player for Beikong's frontcourt, Wang's position was challenged by the arrival of Zou Yuchen and the impressive performances of Chen Guohao. With the addition of Salingger and Shen Zijie to Beikong this season, the team decided to loan him out to Guangdong. It was hoped that he could be a…

CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Jilin 106-65. This game was very easy for Guangdong, as they maintained their advantage throughout the match and ultimately completed a crushing victory. Five players had perfect scores in this game. Wat started off strong, scoring 22+9 in just 23 minutes. There was no way to stop him, as Jilin had no defense to speak of. As long as Wat was on the court, he could continue to score. Huang Rongqi also had a great game, despite not exploding offensively before. Today, he could easily handle the ball, shooting 12 for 8 to get 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. His data is so comprehensive. Since joining Guangdong, he has been getting better and better. Xu Jie remained stable in this game, shooting 11 for 5 to get 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. He played both offense and defense well, and only played for 27 minutes, which is the least amount of time he has played in a game during this period. Morand continued to be the big man inside, with 13 rebounds and 5 blocks, completely suppressing the defense. Bazley proved useful against weak opponents, scoring 18 points with 11 shots made out of 7 attempts, and his other stats were also good. However, this was only against weak opponents, and it remains to be seen if he can maintain this momentum in future games. Zhang Wenyi, Wang Shaojie, Xu Xin, and Zhang Haojia all had passing grades. Zhang Wenyi had an average performance, shooting 7 for…
