Recently, Xinjiang player Zhu Xuhang has returned to Urumqi after a full year of recuperation due to injury. While the team is still on an away game campaign, it is expected that they will return home after finishing their away game against Shanxi this Sunday. At that time, Zhu Xuhang will officially rejoin the team and begin training with them. This season, after loaning out Lutubula, Wu Guanxi also missed several games due to injury, leaving only Li Yanzhe at the center position. The power forward position has been struggling with inconsistent performance from A Bu Du, while Ai Zimaiti is strong in attack but weak in defense. This has put Liu Wei in a difficult position when it comes to player selection, especially in terms of rebounding. Although Xinjiang currently leads the league in total rebounds, they have recently lost consecutive rebounding battles against Liaoning, Beijing, and Shandong, with an average loss of nearly 10 offensive rebounds per game. This means that opponents have had ten more shooting opportunities per game than Xinjiang. Zhu Xuhang's characteristics align perfectly with Xinjiang's current weaknesses. He is known for his tough defense and excellent rebounding ability. At the power forward position, he also possesses a precise three-point shot, which directly addresses Liu Wei's dilemma of choosing between A Bu Du without shooting and Ai Zimaiti without defense. It can be said that Zhu Xuhang's skills are exactly what Xinjiang lacks the most. Of course, it is unrealistic to expect a player who has been out for a year due to injury to…

In the CBA circle, everyone knows that Zhao Rui has become very different since moving from Guangdong to Xinjiang. This time, his direct collision with a referee during a game has shown everyone how a top-paid player can ruin his career. The match between Xinjiang and Shandong was going smoothly until something happened in the first quarter. After Zhao Rui scored a fast-break layup, he insisted that Yu Dehao had fouled him, but the referee ignored him. He started complaining by waving his hands, which led to a technical foul being called on him. After receiving the technical foul, Zhao Rui seemed to lose control and rushed to collide with the referee, knocking them back quite a distance. If it weren't for Liu Wei's quick response in stopping him, the situation would have escalated further. The fans at the scene were stunned; such an incident is rare in the CBA. While player fights are common, who dares to collide with a referee? That's just asking for trouble. Zhao Rui continued to point and swear at the referee as he was being ejected from the game. As a result, the CBA officially suspended him for five games and fined him 100,000 yuan. This punishment is not too harsh. Liu Wei also suffered due to this incident. As the head coach of Xinjiang, he was fined 20,000 yuan because the team's players have repeatedly violated rules this season. He has tried his best to control the situation. When Zhao Rui was with Guangdong, although he had a temper, he could still control…

On January 2, 2025, that game was a real mixed bag of emotions to watch. The match between Xinjiang and Shandong teams was supposed to be an evenly matched contest, but the outcome left many Xinjiang fans bitterly disappointed. Xinjiang's foreign aid, Lawson, was as soft as he was big, with nothing but frustration throughout the game. From the start of the game, Xinjiang relied heavily on foreign aid Peterson, especially his stable performance on the offensive end, but under Lawson's leadership, the team's overall performance was disappointing. Lawson frequently shot three-pointers, but the hit rate outside the three-point line was shockingly low. Am I overthinking it, or does Lawson really have too much confidence, thinking that these three-pointers can change everything? He tried again and again, but it was almost in vain, with the whole game's offense stuck in a vicious cycle. You would think Lawson could at least make some compensations on the offensive end, but his performance under the basket was utterly disappointing. Facing Shandong's inside players, especially Chris, Lawson was like a disappointing little brother, lacking any ability to compete. Rebounding was even more hopeless. In other words, Lawson not only failed to score himself but also created many opportunities for the opponent. Shandong's foreign aid Chris was truly extraordinary. Whenever he was on the court, the whole team's momentum was different. Chris completely dominated in his matchup against Lawson, leaving no room for Lawson to counterattack. Not only was he strong in the paint, but he also steadily grabbed rebounds, leaving Xinjiang with almost no…

The match between Xinjiang team and Shandong team has caused a huge uproar. For example, Liu Wei, the head coach of Xinjiang team, scolded Yu Dehao, a player from Shandong team, during the game, calling him "a cup of sand, let him shoot, let the cup of sand shoot!" Upon hearing Liu Wei's behavior, Yu Dehao was speechless and reported to the referee. However, the on-duty referee did not pay attention, which made Yu Dehao helpless. Later, Yu Dehao continuously scored three-pointers, severely slapping Liu Wei in the face. Of course, what caused more heated discussions among fans was Zhao Rui, the tough guard of Xinjiang team, who once chased after the on-duty referee and collided with him, leaving the fans stunned. Zhao Rui's pioneering approach in the CBA also led to severe punishment from the CBA company, resulting in a five-game suspension and a fine of 100,000 yuan. Of course, although the punishment imposed by the CBA company on Zhao Rui is heavy, it seems relatively light compared to the Chinese Super League. In the past, a Chinese Super League player was directly suspended for one year and fined 200,000 yuan for colliding with a referee. Compared to that, Zhao Rui's punishment is considered quite light. Following the incident where Zhao Rui collided with the referee, the Basketball Association also held an online referee meeting, where they discussed the need to protect players and strengthen the management of foul actions. Liu Wei, the head coach of Xinjiang team, also clearly stated after the game that the occurrence of this…

Hello everyone, currently the CBA league is in full swing, with exciting matches almost every night. The new season of the CBA has changed a lot compared to previous years. First, there is a situation of fierce competition among many teams due to the adjustment of the foreign player policy. Many teams have introduced strong foreign player lineups to make up for the average level of domestic players. Currently, the top eight teams in the league all have good competitiveness and have a chance to win this year's championship. This situation is quite satisfying as it increases the attention to the league and enhances the influence of the CBA alliance to a certain extent. On the other hand, the intensity of the new season's CBA is exceptionally high, with 60 fouls in a game becoming commonplace. Not only that, various malicious fouls are rampant. Previously, the Chinese Basketball Association urgently convened a referee meeting in response to recent bad trends. In the CBA league, there are many "rival" opponents, such as Beijing Men's Basketball Team and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team in the past. These two teams were the biggest obstacles on the road to the championship, and whenever they met, the players would be filled with gunpowder. Off the court, they often engaged in verbal sparring. Later, with the rise of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team became new rivals, and their Liaoning-Guangdong battles became the highlight of the CBA league. Every time they faced each other, they always attracted the attention and…

In the recently concluded CBA regular season match, Xinjiang Flying Tigers lost at home to Shandong High-Speed. In the first quarter of the game, Xinjiang player Zhao Rui was ejected for shouldering a referee after being dissatisfied with the refereeing decision. Throughout the game, the referees called seven technical fouls and one unsportsmanlike foul. Although Zhao Rui's behavior of colliding with the referee was indeed very irrational, the refereeing level in the CBA has long been criticized, and there are reasons for this. After the game, Xinjiang head coach Liu Wei also talked about Zhao Rui, who was ejected for colliding with the referee due to dissatisfaction with the refereeing decision. He said that Zhao Rui's departure had a significant impact on the team, and it was definitely his own problem. But what problem affected him to act like this? I think it's because of the flow of the game. Who gets angry for no reason? Now they've directly provoked Zhao Rui, and the referees should also be held responsible because ejecting a star player is something no one wants to see. Although the referees were wrong, Zhao Rui must also take responsibility for his actions. Recently, the CBA announced that due to Zhao Rui's collision with the referee, he would be suspended for five games and fined 100,000 yuan. The reason the fine came out so quickly is that Zhao Rui openly defied the referee, and the CBA must give everyone an explanation. Before the fine was announced, Zhao Rui responded to fans on social media, mainly because some…

In the match between Xinjiang and Shandong, Coach Liu Wei's outburst on the sidelines has caused quite a stir, shaking up the entire CBA. This incident, while not particularly significant in itself, does shed light on some of the issues within our basketball circle. When Liu Wei shouted those words at Yu Dehao from the sidelines, the entire Xinjiang team's bench was stunned. The game was in full swing, and no one expected the coach to say something like that. The staff on the sidelines looked at each other, unsure whether they should step in to stop him. Yu Dehao's reaction to this was particularly intriguing. He was taken aback for a moment before shouting something at the referee, who completely ignored him. This kind of situation would leave anyone fuming. As the game entered its final minutes, the atmosphere on the court had completely changed. The players were playing with extra intensity, even teammates who usually joked around became unusually serious. The fans on the sidelines held their breath as they watched the changes on the court. At the moment Yu Dehao received the pass from his teammate, he just happened to be standing in the corner position right in front of Liu Wei. Without much adjustment, he raised his hand and shot the ball, drawing a beautiful arc. After the ball went in, Yu Dehao's response caught everyone off guard. He rushed in front of his teammates, jumping and celebrating as if to challenge Liu Wei, with his actions saying, "I can do it, but you can't." The…

The new year of 2025 has begun, and the CBA regular season has entered the fierce competition of the second half of the league. The 26th round of the regular season is divided into two match days, with five major battles taking place on January 3rd. On this night, there were three unexpected matches, with three teams ranked higher being defeated by lower-ranked teams, including a major upset where two championship favorites suffered defeats. In the home game against Shanxi, Qingdao defeated the fourth-ranked Shanxi team 129-122. Although the seven-point difference is not significant, Qingdao led almost throughout the game, establishing a double-digit lead in the first quarter with a score of 37-23. Shanxi only briefly took the lead once during the game but was quickly overtaken again by Qingdao. With three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Shanxi still trailed by as many as 15 points. Despite their tenacious efforts, Shanxi ultimately could not reverse the outcome. Qingdao's victory set a new high for single-game scoring this season, which can be considered a complete victory. Four players from Qingdao—Weatherspoon, Mickey, Yang Hanshen, and Wang Ruize—scored in double figures, with Wang Ruize dominating the outside matchup against Yuan Shuai, contributing a comprehensive stat line of 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. In contrast, Shanxi only had four players—Diawara, Goodwin, Yuan Shuai, and Zhang Ning—who performed well, while other players had average performances, especially Jiao Hailong, Jia Mingru, Ge Zhaobao, and Lemon, who failed to provide sufficient support to the team. Another top-four team, Zhejiang, suffered a crushing 22-point defeat…

The CBA league is down to just 21 rounds of regular season games, with the current standings showing Zhejiang Guangsha in first place, Shanxi in second, Shandong in third, Zhejiang Chouzhou in fourth, Liaoning and Xinjiang in fifth and sixth respectively. Despite Xinjiang being ranked behind Liaoning, they have one more win and have played one fewer game. As a result, the best head coach for the new season is likely to come from these six teams. Originally, Liu Wei, the head coach of Xinjiang, was the most likely candidate for this honor, as he is the only one among them who is coaching a CBA team for the first time. However, a remark of "Let him shoot! Let the SB shoot!" may have cost him his eligibility for the award. Although there have been changes in the number of foreign players used in the new season, teams still need the support of domestic players to remain competitive in the long run. It has been proven that teams with strong overall strength in domestic players still have the potential to compete for the championship title in the new season. While it is not yet possible to confidently predict the championship outcome for the new season, teams that are currently in the top six of the league, such as Zhejiang Guangsha, Shanxi, Shandong (although Shandong may be slightly lacking in overall strength, but if injuries can be controlled well, they still have a chance), Zhejiang Chouzhou, Xinjiang, and Liaoning, are capable of competing for the championship after the halfway point of…

The new year of 2025 has begun, and the CBA regular season has entered the fierce competition of the second half of the league. The 26th round of the regular season is divided into two match days. On January 3rd, five major battles were launched first. This night, there were three unexpected games, with three teams ranked higher being upset by lower-ranked teams. Among them, there was also a big upset, with two championship favorites suffering a Waterloo. Qingdao's 7-point domination over Shanxi This upset game saw Qingdao defeat the top-four team Shanxi 129-122 at home. Although the 7-point difference is not significant, why do we say it was a domination? Because from the scoring trend of the entire game, Qingdao was almost always leading. In the first quarter, Qingdao gave Shanxi a warning, starting with a 30-11 run in the first 7 minutes and 30 seconds, establishing a double-digit lead of 37-23. Shanxi only had one moment of score reversal in the game, which occurred at 7 minutes and 43 seconds in the third quarter when Yuan Shuai made a three-pointer, and Shanxi took the lead 74-73. However, after the reversal, it only took less than 13 seconds before Shanxi was immediately overtaken by Qingdao again. In the subsequent game, no matter how Shanxi chased, they could not catch up. In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, Shanxi even trailed Qingdao 104-119, with a significant 15-point difference. Of course, Shanxi was tenacious, and even when the game seemed hopeless for a reversal, they continued to apply full-court…
