The new year of 2025 has begun, and on the night of January 1st, Beijing time, the 25th round of the CBA regular season featured five major battles, including three focus matches that are worth mentioning: the Tianjin-Guangdong battle, the Beijing-Liaoning battle, and the fiery Shandong-Xinjiang battle. These three games produced three records, with some players achieving legendary status in one game, others breaking through mental barriers, some receiving technical fouls and being ejected, and even someone committing an offense by colliding with the referee, becoming a hot topic of discussion during the New Year's Day battles. In the Beijing-Liaoning battle, the person who was ejected was Omoregie, while the one who achieved legendary status is Zhang Cairen. In this game where Beijing defeated Liaoning 105-90, Zhang Cairen shone brightly, becoming the X factor that determined the outcome of the game. The Beijing-Liaoning battle was intense, with Liaoning's score being suppressed by Beijing throughout the game. However, the suspense of the game remained, especially during the critical third quarter when Chen Yingjun landed on Wang Lanqin's foot after shooting, spraining his ankle and had to withdraw from the game. Beijing, which was originally leading Liaoning by 7 points, subsequently fell into a passive situation and was chased down to a difference of only 1 point by Liaoning at the end of the third quarter. Just as the fans thought Beijing was about to be overturned by Liaoning, Chen Yingjun's substitute, Zhang Cairen, stood up. When Beijing was about to be tied by Liaoning in the third quarter, Cairen hit a…

In the 25th round of the CBA regular season, Xinjiang men's basketball team hosted Shandong men's basketball team, which was the second encounter between the two teams this season. The game was very intense and not smooth, with a total of 7 technical fouls and one unsportsmanlike foul called on both players and head coaches, including Zhao Rui and Chris who were both ejected from the game. There is no need to say more about the refereeing in this game; fans can remember that the main referee was Yang Hongfeng. However, Shandong men's basketball team eventually held on under pressure and narrowly won by a 4-point advantage, breaking Xinjiang men's basketball team's undefeated home record. In terms of player performance, Li Yanzhe scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks, Xierzati scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals, Yili Fula scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, Peterson scored 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, Lawson scored 8 points and 9 rebounds, Qi Lin scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists, Aizimaiti scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals, Hegen scored 3 points and 4 assists. On the Shandong men's basketball team side, Tao Hanlin scored 11 points and 7 rebounds, Gao Shiyan scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, Xie Zhijie scored 2 points, Gali scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, Chris scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals, Guo Kai scored 6 points and 9 rebounds, Yu Dehao scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 5…

Although the home DJ of Xinjiang men's basketball team rarely plays the song "Good Man," this does not hinder Shandong men's basketball team from winning the New Year's first victory with their tenacious fighting spirit. In the just-concluded away game between Shandong and Xinjiang men's basketball teams, despite the referee's decision-making that made Shandong fans indignant, Shandong men's basketball team overcame difficulties and finally defeated Xinjiang team 111-107, ending their unbeaten home record since the start of the season. It must be said that although Gong Xiaobin has faded out of the arena, his evaluation of the referees is really incisive. The statistics for both teams in this game are as follows: Shandong High-Speed Team: Marcus Chris 25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists; Dallas Moore 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists; Gao Shiyan 17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists; Tao Hanlin 11 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist; Yu Dehao 11 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists; Jamal Gayle 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists; Guo Kai 6 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist; Chen Peidong 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist; Xu Mengjun 3 points, 1 rebound; Xie Zhijie 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist; Krist Kujaj 2 points, 4 rebounds. Xinjiang Yili Team: Quentin Peterson 34 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists; Qi Lin 17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists; Li Yanzhe 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist; Ilifu Lati Mohetaner 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists; Aizimaiti Tuxun 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists; Dedrick Lawson 8 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist; Xierzati Samati 8 points, 2 rebounds; Ashton Higins 3…

In the 25th round of the CBA regular season, Shandong challenged Xinjiang away from home. So far, Xinjiang has had the strongest home court in the CBA, winning an impressive 14 consecutive victories. Shandong had previously lost both home and away games against Xinjiang, especially during their last visit to Xinjiang's home court, where they encountered some controversial refereeing decisions and ultimately lost by a narrow margin of three points. However, the same scenario unfolded again, but this time, it was Shandong who emerged victorious. The refereeing in this game was indeed problematic, causing some players to lose control of their emotions. In this match, Xinjiang was awarded an astonishing 39 free throws, while Shandong had 25, reflecting a numerical disparity. However, there were significant differences in the refereeing standards. In the decisive stages, Guo Kai's reasonable double-teaming was called for a foul, resulting in him being sent off with free throws. Meanwhile, Xinjiang's double-teaming on Tao Hanlin in the final moments featured almost identical actions. Upon slow-motion replay review, Xinjiang's pushing and fouling were more evident, with Tao Hanlin being physically pushed out of bounds. Yet, the on-duty head referee deemed it not a foul and returned possession to Xinjiang, leading to Shandong receiving a technical foul. This was a decision that could have significantly impacted the outcome; if not for Peterson's chaotic play at the end, Shandong might have suffered a repeat defeat. The controversies did not end there. As Shandong's most outstanding player and core member, Chris has always had emotional issues, prone to impulsive behavior. However,…

Today's title is a bit awkward, but after thinking about it, it seems there is no more appropriate way to say it. Today, I want to talk about two players. One is Qi Lin, who grew up in praise, was born and raised in Beijing, and now plays for the Xinjiang team. The other is Zhang Cairen, who was born and raised in Tacheng, Xinjiang, came to Beijing Youth Team at the age of 15, and now plays for Shougang. Zhang Cairen, born in 1995 and just turned 30 yesterday, celebrated his birthday night. On this day of turning 30, he scored 4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter alone and scored the highest 27 points in the entire game for his team! This is the highest score in Zhang Cairen's career so far. Before this, this is a player that few fans from other places pay attention to, and Beijing fans jokingly call him the team's "cook." Unlike Fang Shuo's late blooming, Zhang Cairen has been on the fringes of the team since he joined the Beijing Youth Team at the age of 15, played in the CBA at the age of 20, and until now at the age of 30. In ten years of his career, he has never had a season with an average score of more than ten points. Even last season, when he welcomed a new high in playing time with an average of 26 minutes per game, he could only contribute an average of 7.6 points. Despite criticism and doubts throughout his career, he has…

In recent matches of the CBA league, there have been ups and downs, with controversies over referees' decisions, injuries to key players, and questions about the stability of coaching positions, making the competition full of drama and suspense. During the match between Xinjiang and Shandong men's basketball teams, the referees' performance sparked significant controversy. A total of 62 fouls, 7 technical fouls, 1 disqualification foul, and 1 unsportsmanlike foul were called in this game, making it one of the most "present" officiating performances of the season. Among them, Xinjiang player Zhao Rui was involved in a conflict with the referee due to dissatisfaction with the decision and was subsequently penalized with technical fouls and disqualification fouls. After the game, Zhao Rui made improper remarks on social media, which escalated the incident. This behavior may trigger disciplinary clauses from the league, and Zhao Rui could face severe punishment. In the game, under the leadership of head coach Qiu Biao, Shandong not only capitalized on Xinjiang's chaotic emotions but also successfully ended their undefeated home record this season, becoming the biggest winner. On the other side, Zhejiang men's basketball team has fallen into an injury quagmire. The team's three core players, Yu Jiahao, Cheng Shaipeng, and Wu Qian, have all been sidelined due to injuries, with expected absences of 2 weeks, 10 days, and one month respectively. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the team and makes the prospects for the second stage of Zhejiang's season uncertain. Yu Jiahao's dominance in the paint, Cheng Shaipeng's organizational skills, and Wu Qian's outside…

107-111, Xinjiang team caused an upset by losing at home to Shandong men's basketball team, suffering their first home defeat of the season and missing out on a 15-game winning streak. The game was very intense and closely contested, with many fouls, free throws, and conflicts, controversies, and the referees' whistles were almost blown out. In the critical moments, Shandong team remained more calm, or perhaps justice prevailed, as they emerged victorious in the end. Xinjiang's home court advantage, often referred to as the "devil's home court," came under fire, as it was difficult to win against the odds of 5 against 8. Shandong team performed admirably. Let's hear what the media experts have to say after the game. Xinjiang media: "Xinjiang lost to Shandong, breaking their unbeaten record at home. In the past three games, their rebounding issues need to be taken seriously." Shandong media: "Shandong men's basketball team won away against Xinjiang, which is not easy under such difficult circumstances. They defeated not just their opponents. Facing the strong team of Xinjiang from the entire league, they broke the spell of the home team's undefeated record this season. Coach Qiu Biao led the resilient Shandong men's basketball team, with the "little shark" Tao Hanlin delivering, Yu Dehao performing well from outside at the crucial moment, and substitute foreign player Moore stepping up as the leader when it mattered most. The high-speed team played flawlessly! It was not easy to achieve this victory under such difficult circumstances! It was not simple!" Shanxi media: "Coach Qiu Biao led Shandong High-Speed…

Zhao Rui and Zhou Qi's swap had many fans believing that Xinjiang was the winner at the time, as Zhou Qi hadn't played for Xinjiang for quite some time, while Zhao Rui, a top-tier guard in the league, could fill the gap in the team's backcourt position. Although his strength is undeniable, Zhao Rui's endurance and fiery temper may have side effects for Xinjiang. Previously, Qi Lin was suspended by the league for angrily scolding the referee during a match against Beikong. After returning from suspension in this game against Shandong, Qi Lin managed to restrain himself somewhat, only for Zhao Rui, the "mindless one," to steal the show. Early in the game, after completing a difficult layup and failing to get a foul call, Zhao Rui erupted at the referee. His subsequent action led to his ejection from the game; not content with just yelling at the referee, Zhao Rui deliberately collided with the official using his shoulder, an act of provocation that resulted in his disqualification. During his last season with Guangdong, Zhao Rui was prone to emotional outbursts, which affected his enthusiasm for the game. Now in Xinjiang, he and Qi Lin's "mindless and unhappy" combination could potentially become a stumbling block on the team's path to the championship. So far, Zhao Rui has only played 13 games for Xinjiang, averaging 10.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 24.8 minutes per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. This average of 10.2 points marks the lowest since the 17-18 season. In these 13 games this…

The CBA regular season is in full swing, with Shandong defeating Xinjiang 111-107 on the road. Facing the strong team of Xinjiang, which is ranked at the top of the league, Shandong broke the home team's unbeaten spell this season. The game started with intense physical confrontations, with Shandong taking the initiative first. Zhao Rui was ejected for colliding with the referee, and in the second half, Chris was also ejected after accumulating two technical fouls. At a critical moment, Tao Hanlin made a mistake, and the Shandong bench received a technical foul. Fortunately, Gaili made both free throws to almost seal the game, and Shandong eventually won 111-107, securing their fifth consecutive victory while ending Xinjiang's 14-game home winning streak. In this game, Xinjiang committed 27 fouls, while Shandong had 35 fouls. The referees called seven technical fouls, one disqualification, and one unsportsmanlike foul, with two players being ejected. It can be said that this game was filled with tension. The biggest controversy now is Zhao Rui, as he was dissatisfied with the referee's misjudgment. The incident occurred when Zhao Rui was fouled during a layup and hit the backboard but was ignored by the referee. This made Zhao Rui very angry, and he immediately shouted at the referee. Instead of comforting him, the referee directly gave him a technical foul. Zhao Rui became furious and rushed towards the referee, making unnecessary physical contact, and was subsequently disqualified from the game. He almost got into a fight with the referee. Zhao Rui is now facing punishment from the CBA.…

Certainly! Here is the translation of the article content into English: How about it? We won! Shandong Men's Basketball Team, which failed to even reach the playoffs last season, managed to pull off a stunning upset in their third match against the reigning runner-up Xinjiang Team. Playing away from home, they defeated their opponents 111-107, ending Xinjiang's undefeated streak at home and halting their 14-game winning streak. At the same time, Shandong has surpassed Liaoning, Zhejiang, and Xinjiang in the rankings, soaring to the 3rd position. Previously, Pan Jiang, the young coach of the dark horse Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, had made sarcastic remarks, saying that Xinjiang's home court was so formidable that no one could win there! Now, Qiu Biao has proven him wrong with his actions, delivering a harsh slap in the face to the neighboring young marshal. It can be said that Shandong Men's Basketball Team is the true dark horse, and Qiu Biao's leadership is truly remarkable! In fact, when challenging Xinjiang away from home, Shandong played very proactively. At least in terms of the score, Shandong was always controlling their opponents. However, the refereeing in this game was truly shocking, with a total of 7 technical fouls called throughout the match. Two players were directly ejected from the game, one being Zhao Rui and the other being Chris. Under such refereeing, what should have been an exciting and smooth game was blown apart, becoming fragmented and ugly. If there's anything to be comforted by, it's that Shandong Men's Basketball Team won. Playing away from home…
