89-99, Beijing Men's Basketball Team lost to Qingdao Men's Basketball Team. It was not surprising that Beijing Men's Basketball Team lost this game, because they suffered too much from foreign aid. The foreign aid of Qingdao Men's Basketball Team, Wesperson, scored 30 points and also sent out 15 assists. Another foreign aid of Qingdao Men's Basketball Team, Mickey, also performed well, scoring 21 points and 9 rebounds in 33 minutes. However, Beijing Men's Basketball Team's foreign aid, Jerman, only scored 21 points after playing for 40 minutes. The efficiency was not high, and Jerman made only 1 out of 5 three-pointers. Solomon also performed poorly, with only 10 points. That is to say, the two foreign aids of Beijing Men's Basketball Team, Jerman and Solomon, were not as good as Wesperson alone. Suffering from foreign aid has become a norm for Beijing Men's Basketball Team. In the previous game against Beikong Men's Basketball Team, the three foreign aids of Beijing Men's Basketball Team scored a total of 43 points, while the other two foreign aids, Salingger and Leters, scored a total of 51 points. In the game against Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team, the performance of Beijing Men's Basketball Team's foreign aids could be described as a disaster. Autotel scored 7 points, while Solomon and Jerman each scored only 10 points. Jerman's efficiency was also terrible, making only 4 out of 15 shots, including 1 out of 8 three-pointers. The foreign aid of Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team, York, scored 31 points, which was more than the combined score of the three…

On January 12, 2025, in the 30th round of the CBA regular season, Qingdao Men's Basketball Team faced off against the defending champion Liaoning at home. This match was full of drama and after a series of ups and downs, Qingdao narrowly defeated Liaoning 103-100, successfully completing a double-kill for the season and setting a new team record. At the beginning of the game, Liaoning showed great strength as Ferg and his teammates quickly established an offensive rhythm, scoring six points in a row at the start. However, Qingdao quickly adjusted and launched a scoring spree of 19-0, overtaking them. Qingdao's offense was sharp and efficient, with Wesperson contributing 14 points in the first quarter alone and sending seven assists, demonstrating his comprehensive playmaking ability. At the end of the first quarter, Qingdao led Liaoning by 16 points with a score of 39-23. In the second quarter, Qingdao exposed a lack of depth in their lineup. The head coach used a seven-man rotation, with the two foreign players unable to rest for long periods, which led to high-intensity consumption and a gradual decline in offensive efficiency. At the same time, Qingdao's frequent turnovers gave Liaoning opportunities to catch up. Liaoning took advantage of this to gradually reduce the gap, with Ferg hitting several long-range shots in succession, leading the team to regain their offensive rhythm at one point. At halftime, Qingdao still maintained the lead, but the advantage had been reduced to 8 points with a score of 58-50. In the second half of the game, Liaoning completely regained their…

In the CBA regular season on January 10th, Guangdong team won a close victory over Qingdao team at home with a score of 105-96, securing their fifth consecutive win. This game not only showcased Guangdong's overall strength but also revealed some ups and downs in the performance of individual players. With both teams having similar strengths, this positioning battle was particularly important. Ultimately, Guangdong managed to turn the tide and secure the victory thanks to Jilunwater's fiery performance and the team's collective efforts. Game Review Tight Start, Guangdong Temporarily Behind The game started with Jilunwater, Guangdong's foreign aid, quickly getting into form and scoring two consecutive three-pointers to help the team take an early 3-0 lead. However, Qingdao responded swiftly, with Wang Ruijie's layup and Wespon's crucial points bringing the game into a tight state. At the end of the first quarter, Guangdong trailed Qingdao 24-28. Despite Jilunwater's eye-catching individual performance, Guangdong's overall offense lacked fluidity and support from more scoring points. Qingdao Once Expanded the Lead, Guangdong Failed to Catch Up Entering the second quarter, Qingdao relied on Wespon's outside three-pointers and Yang Hanshen's inside scoring to once expand the lead to double digits. After a timeout, Guangdong slightly reduced the gap through Jilunwater and Xu Jie's offense, but they were never able to overtake. At halftime, Guangdong trailed 47-56, with Jilunwater already scoring 24 points, demonstrating his strong scoring ability. Second Half Reversal, Guangdong Riding the Wave Entering the third quarter, Guangdong gradually found their rhythm. Especially Jilunwater maintained an efficient offensive output, and Morand's contributions in the…

The CBA regular season has become quite unpredictable, with Shanxi losing to Qingdao, Xinjiang rising four places, Beijing defeating Zhejiang, and Liaoning and Guangdong facing tough times. The rankings change daily, leaving fans feeling disoriented. Qingdao's recent performance has been impressive, with foreign players Weatherspoon and Mickey playing like they're on a different level, combining for 71 points and dismantling Shanxi's defense. Wang Ruize is also gaining confidence, as evidenced by his 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. On Shanxi's side, Goodwin and Diawara were active, scoring a total of 70 points, but their frontline was completely dominated by Qingdao's Yang Hanshen. Liu Chuanxing and Faye, their frontline players, only managed to score a few points, which was disappointing. Qingdao played with great form in this match, starting with a fierce attack that opened up a nearly 20-point lead. Although Shanxi managed to catch up later, Qingdao held on to prevent them from overtaking. After this match, Shanxi dropped to third place, which is unfortunate considering they were previously second. This shows how intense the competition in the CBA is this year. Xinjiang's victory over Sichuan was close, but a win is a win, especially since Zhao Rui and Abudu didn't play. Qi Lin put on a career-level performance. Sichuan started well, leading by 11 points in the first quarter, but Xinjiang caught up in the second quarter. Such ups and downs make for a suspenseful game. Six Xinjiang players scored in double figures, showcasing their teamwork. Lawson only scored 10 points but contributed 16 rebounds and 7 assists,…

As the biggest dark horse in the CBA league, undefeated and invincible in the new season, Shanxi team unexpectedly faced Qingdao team not only being hit 9:0 in the first 2 minutes of the away game, but also scoring only 15 points in the first 10 minutes, ending the first quarter trailing Qingdao team by 14 points. The key point is that Shanxi team had a 50% three-point shooting rate in this game, hitting 13 out of 26 attempts, but the team unfortunately lost the game by a margin of 7 points with a score of 122:129. Is it because Coach Pan Jiang was careless and underestimated the opponent, or did he consciously accumulate strength to save face and avenge Xinjiang team at their home court? In this game, although Shanxi team was playing away, their overall rotation and individual combat capabilities seemed to be superior to Qingdao team's. The key is that Shanxi team has four outstanding foreign players, while Qingdao team currently has only two foreign players. Once physical fatigue sets in, it would be difficult for Qingdao team to stop Shanxi team's counterattack in the last quarter. However, what was unexpected was that Qingdao team not only played high-quality offense at the beginning, but also maintained a perfect 9:0 start within 2 minutes. More confusingly, it seemed that all the Shanxi team players were out of form, with the team making a total of 6 turnovers in the first quarter. As the starting small foreign player, Goodwin alone made 3 turnovers, and the other two small foreign…

Translation of the article content into English: The fifth round of the CBA regular season has concluded, with the exception of the match between Guangzhou and Tianjin. After five rounds of fierce competition, each team has gradually settled into a rhythm. The new season has seen a change in the foreign player policy, leading to an increasing reliance on foreign players by the teams. Among the top 50 scorers, 36 positions are occupied by foreigners. This trend is evident within individual teams as well; seven teams have their top three scorers entirely made up of foreigners, while ten teams have two of their top three spots filled by foreigners. Only three teams have two domestic players among their top three scorers, which reflects the current state of the CBA. Specific details are as follows: Liaoning's top three scorers: Fergie with 28 points, Shajuek with 17.2 points, and Aqiu'er with 14.8 points. Honestly, Liaoning relies completely on foreigners, with Han Dejun being the best-performing domestic player. Guangsha's top three scorers: Little Barry Brown with 27.4 points, Hu Jinqiu with 24.4 points, and Knight with 19.2 points. Hu Jinqiu is the only domestic player in the top ten scorers. Shanghai's top three scorers: Wang Zhelin with 21 points, Walters with 20.6 points, and Wilson with 15.4 points. Shanghai's foreign players are not performing well, but Wang Zhelin still has the ability to be in the top three. Guangdong's top three scorers: Hu Mingxuan with 20.8 points, Gillenwater with 20.4 points, and Barton with 15 points. Guangdong's foreign players are also underperforming, but…

Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team has finally found its form after a season of ups and downs, securing an impressive 9-game winning streak in their last 10 matches, with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, propelling them to the second position in the league. This strong winning streak not only reasserts their strength but also lays a solid foundation for the upcoming season sprint. How did Zhejiang achieve this? How do they maintain a strong comeback in adversity? Schedule Advantage: Easy Matches Boost Winning Momentum It is undeniable that Zhejiang benefited from a relatively easy schedule during this winning streak. Although they faced some strong teams at the beginning of the season, such as Shanghai, in the recent 10 games, most of their opponents were lower-ranked teams, many of which were plagued by injuries. In these matches, Zhejiang's only loss was a significant defeat against Shanghai, while they managed to win the rest. For instance, teams like Guangzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin, Ningbo, Sichuan, Beikong, Guangdong, and Shenzhen were unable to stop Zhejiang's winning streak. Particularly, Qingdao played without their core foreign player, Weatherspoon, and their main forward, Wang Ruize, due to injuries; Guangdong also struggled with injuries, lacking firepower in crucial moments despite some stunning performances; Beikong had some bright spots but fell far short of expectations this season, currently ranking only 10th. Roster Depth: The Declining Importance of Four Foreign Players and Wu Qian Besides the relatively relaxed schedule, another key factor contributing to Zhejiang's consecutive victories is their excellent roster depth. Zhejiang currently has four foreign players, boasting…
