A strong matchup in the CBA regular season saw Liaoning take on Xinjiang. Liaoning's second stage performance was poor, with more losses than wins against strong teams, and the team was plagued by injuries and a lack of players. In this game, Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin were still unable to play, while Fredette played despite illness. Facing the formidable Xinjiang team, their chances of winning were slim, and they would need to perform above their usual level to have a chance. Although Xinjiang also had their fair share of injuries, they were in good form, able to win tough games, and were currently on a four-game winning streak. In this match, Zhao Rui and Qi Lin were absent, with three-point shooting being the key to victory, as well as the battle for rebounds. Xinjiang's starting lineup: Li Yanzhe, Xirzati, Yilifula, Lawson, and Hagens! Liaoning's starting lineup: Fredette, Wang Lianqin, Wells, Li Xiaoxu, and Han Dejun!

Yi Li's buzzer-beater, Wells' layup, Hagens' eight-second violation, Han Dejun's putback, Li Yanzhe's turnover again, and Wells' response. Xirzati's three-pointer from the top of the arc missed, Wells stepped out of bounds, Lawson's three-pointer missed, Wells' layup, Liaoning led 19-9, forcing Xinjiang to call a timeout.…

Basketball courts are never short of inspiring stories, and the 32-year-old Wells has given us a thrilling comeback performance. From being a "vagrant" in the CBA to becoming the star player of Liaoning team, he proved with his accurate three-point shots that age is not an issue; what's crucial is seizing the opportunity. Speaking of Wells' career in the CBA, it's truly heart-wrenching. This guy has been playing in the CBA for several years, starting at Guangsha, then moving on to Jiangsu, Qingdao, and Jilin, but he never managed to establish himself anywhere. It's not that his skills were lacking; he performed well in every game, but he just didn't seem to have much luck with these teams. Such a player who seemed to be almost forgotten by the CBA suddenly transformed into the team's most reliable scorer when he joined Liaoning. How wonderful life can be! At the beginning of this season, Wells was still sitting on the bench at home. Who knew that Liaoning's foreign aid would suddenly encounter problems, giving him a chance? Although this opportunity came a bit late, Wells did not hesitate at all. Look at his performance against Guangzhou; it was as if he had turned on a cheat code, scoring 31 points throughout the game. More importantly, during the critical moments, he sank five three-pointers in a single quarter, completely changing the course of the game. Liaoning team has really been plagued by injuries this season, with their main players needing to rest frequently. If it weren't for Wells' timely "firefighting," the team's…

It's really difficult to find suitable foreign players, a common sentiment among the general managers of CBA clubs, who are almost constantly scouting for talent. This is related to the CBA's salary cap regulations, which stipulate that the total cannot exceed $4.5 million. With such a low price, it's certainly challenging to find appropriate foreign players. However, there have been successful cases of finding great value in unexpected places. Below, we'll discuss four foreign players who were very affordable but have performed like superstars. Weatherspoon from Qingdao Men's Basketball averages 27.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage as high as 52%. Weatherspoon was cut after playing only 23 games in Tianjin and had a poor performance last season in Guangsha. Qingdao originally had Powell, but Weatherspoon was a backup option. However, he has proven himself and become a superstar player. Little Barry Brown from Guangsha Men's Basketball averages 25.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, leading Guangsha to the top of the league! Guangsha has struggled to find suitable foreign players, but this season they finally met Brown. Brown previously had a poor performance in Beijing and played for Guangzhou last season. Liaoning Men's Basketball was really in need of foreign players and found Wells! Wells has played for teams like Jiangsu, Guangsha, Qingdao, and Jilin before, being cut multiple times. No one expected him to become a superstar in Liaoning! Currently, he averages 24.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 56% and…

After the game, Zhao Jiwei congratulated the team on this hard-won victory.

Therefore, it can be said that although Liaoning Team's problems are serious, the severity and impact will not be as severe as everyone thinks. The key is when Zhao Jiwei will return. Zhao Jiwei's injury is both troublesome and simple. His throat injury will not affect his playing level after returning, but the current situation often recurs, and it is impossible to give a clear answer as to when he can return to the court. However, although Zhao Jiwei cannot quickly return to the court at present, his heart is still with everyone, and it is hoped that he can return…
