Translation: The 31st round of the CBA regular season saw two highly anticipated matches, the clash between Xinjiang and Jiangsu, as well as the strong confrontation between Liaoning and Shanghai. The results of these two games not only changed the ranking on the leaderboard but also added many highlights and topics to the league. The match between Xinjiang and Jiangsu demonstrated how a team can achieve victory by relying on the outstanding performance of substitute players when the starting lineup is underperforming. At the beginning of the game, Xinjiang's offensive firepower was clearly limited, especially with the main players Qi Lin and He Gens not being in form, which once put them into a scoring dilemma. However, Zhao Rui, who came off the bench, brought a turning point for the team. This guard, who had been absent due to injury previously, showed excellent competitive form, scoring frequently on the offensive end and contributing multiple steals on the defensive end, helping the team gradually establish an advantage with his comprehensive performance. The process of the game was not smooth sailing. Although Xinjiang once widened the gap to 21 points in the third quarter, Jiangsu did not give up. In the last quarter, they showed their tenacious fighting spirit, seizing the opportunity when Xinjiang's substitute lineup fluctuated in state, reducing the gap to single digits, putting considerable pressure on their opponents. During this period, Zhao Rui fell to the ground accidentally during a breakthrough, causing concern among fans, fortunately without serious consequences. Ultimately, Xinjiang relied on the lead they had established earlier…

Last night's CBA regular season featured only two matches: one a battle between strong teams, the other a mismatch in strength. The game between Liaoning and Shanghai was closely contested, with Liaoning eventually securing a narrow three-point victory. In contrast, Xinjiang easily overcame the struggling Jiangsu team, ending their two-game losing streak. In this match, Xinjiang displayed a balanced attack with six players scoring in double figures, dominating Jiangsu throughout and showcasing their offensive prowess. Jiangsu, on the other hand, had only four players reach double figures, leaving the outcome of the game largely without suspense. However, Xinjiang's victory seemed to have little to do with one particular player. Indeed, it was Qi Lin, who has repeatedly faced penalties from the CBA company, that put in a dismal performance last night. Despite playing for 29 minutes, he managed only 1 out of 12 shots, an abysmal display that could be described as nothing short of a shooting disaster. His final stats read 2 points and 1 assist, with a team-low plus-minus of -16. It would not be inaccurate to say that Xinjiang's win had nothing to do with him. Qi Lin's recent form has been abysmal; apart from his poor showing last night, he also struggled in the previous game against Nanjing Tongxi. There, he again missed most of his shots, going 2 out of 10 in 25 minutes, including a mere 1 out of 6 from beyond the arc, scoring just 7 points. His plus-minus in that game was also the lowest on the team at -12. Despite his…

Ending the Losing Streak! Xinjiang Defeats Jiangsu 92-82 - Who is the "Biggest Hero" of the Game? The Data Speaks for Itself On January 14th, Beijing time, the 26th round of the CBA regular season saw Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team challenge Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team away. This was the third meeting between the two teams this season, with Xinjiang winning both previous encounters. However, Xinjiang had just suffered two consecutive losses before the game, making tonight an opportunity for them to fight against their opponents and stop their decline. Prior to the game, the star guard Zhao Rui returned from suspension, undoubtedly adding depth to Xinjiang's rotation lineup. In this game, Jiangsu only held out for two quarters before Xinjiang locked in the victory in the second half. The final score was Xinjiang 92-82 Jiangsu, ending their own two-game losing streak. Xinjiang's starting lineup for the night was Qi Lin, Li Yanzhe, Xierzati, Lawson, and Hagens, while Jiangsu's starting lineup was Wu Yujia, Goodwin, Jackson, Li Chengyao, and Ma Guodong. Although Zhao Rui returned for this game, he still came off the bench, with Xinjiang's starting lineup remaining the usual configuration. In the first quarter, after Lawson hit a three-pointer, Jiangsu's small foreign aid Jackson scored five points in a row. However, with Zhao Rui's substitution, Xinjiang turned the situation around, with Zhao Rui scoring eight points alone to lead the team back into the lead. At the end of the first quarter, Xinjiang led by seven points. In the second quarter, Xinjiang started with a 9-3 run to force…

On January 14th, the 31st round of the CBA regular season featured several key battles, with Liaoning and Xinjiang both defeating their opponents, leading to new changes in the standings. Liaoning ended Shanghai's 16-game winning streak and successfully rose to second place in the standings; while Xinjiang, in Zhao Rui's first game back, defeated Jiangsu away from home, returning to the top four and laying a foundation for the upcoming schedule. Xinjiang challenged Jiangsu, who were ranked at the bottom, and although their opponents were slightly weaker overall, Xinjiang did not fully enter the game in the opening stages. In the first few minutes, Xinjiang's offensive efficiency was low, and they were cold-handed, relying only on fighting for second chances to maintain the situation. At a critical moment, Zhao Rui, who returned from injury, quickly became the focus on the court. His active performance on both offense and defense revitalized the team's rhythm, helping Xinjiang lead 28-21 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Xinjiang's starting lineup still hadn't fully found their footing, and the mediocre performances of Qi Lin and Heigens made the game once become sticky. Fortunately, Zhao Rui continued his good form from the first quarter, scoring efficiently and connecting the team's offensive system. Jiangsu performed averagely, with local players lacking stable output and foreign players failing to step up. At halftime, Xinjiang led by 9 points, 48-39. In the second half, Xinjiang gradually showed their overall strength advantage, especially the performance of the substitute players became the decisive factor. Peterson and Yilifula…

On January 14th, Beijing time, the last six matches of the 30th round of the CBA regular season concluded. This night saw two incredible comebacks and three championship contenders securing big wins to stabilize their rankings. However, Xinjiang, which was in the top four not long ago, became the biggest loser of this round. The first major comeback occurred in the playoff ticket battle between Jilin and Shenzhen. Jilin has been struggling recently due to Jones' absence, resulting in poor team performance and consecutive losses. In this round, Jones finally returned and exploded with 42 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. However, the key figure who decided the outcome of the game was Jiang Weize, who contributed a 3+1 in the final 2.5 seconds to stage a near buzzer-beater. Jiang has been plagued by injuries this season, experiencing a slump for several games and disappearing from the fans' sight for quite some time. In this match, he lived up to expectations, seizing the opportunity in the chaos to deliver the decisive blow, scoring 19 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals. Together with Coach Jones, they led Jilin to a narrow 115-112 victory over Shenzhen, ending their four-game losing streak. This victory for Jilin was also quite thrilling. In the first quarter, Shenzhen came out firing on all cylinders, scoring 46 points and once leading Jilin by as many as 25 points, almost crushing them. However, Jilin showed great resilience; Jones didn't score much in the first quarter but came back strong in the second, exploding for…

In the CBA arena, referees' decisions often become a hot topic among fans. Recently, the match between Xinjiang and Tongxi teams has once again brought this issue to the forefront. During the second quarter of the game, Xinjiang player Qi Lin was penalized by the referee for a controversial foul during a defensive play, which triggered an emotional outburst from him. Qi Lin angrily threw a punch, followed by a technical foul and his immediate return to the locker room, shocking the fans and spectators present. More dramatically, his brief message "39" posted on social media in the locker room sparked speculation among many fans, who believed that the number referred to the referee of the game, Yang Hongfeng. The refereeing issues behind the game are evident. As a focal point referee in the CBA this season, Yang Hongfeng's decisions have been repeatedly questioned. His lack of control in crucial moments has caused dissatisfaction among players, coaches, and even fans. The role of the referee is not only as the "judge" of the game but also crucial to its fairness and entertainment value. Frequent controversial decisions not only harm the interests of players and teams but also affect the overall image and credibility of the CBA league. It is clear that the CBA league management must take this issue seriously and take effective measures to improve it. Against this backdrop, the Xinjiang team decided to appeal to the league, requesting a retrial of Qi Lin's controversial penalty. If it is ultimately confirmed that there was indeed a misjudgment, Qi Lin's…

Translation of the article content into English: In the world of basketball, the relationship between players and teams is like a delicate web where one move affects the whole. The story between Zhao Rui and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team is just like that. Even though he has been away for two years, the controversies surrounding them have never ceased. Once upon a time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team and Shanghai Men's Basketball Team engaged in discussions about trading Zhao Rui. That was the season before Zhao Rui was sent to Xinjiang, and the negotiations at the trading table were filled with undercurrents. Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, considering their own interests, offered a high price, which ultimately became the key factor that prevented the trade from being concluded. As a result, both parties chose to continue their cooperation, allowing Zhao Rui to renew his contract and stay with Guangdong Men's Basketball Team. However, the gears of fate began to turn in the subsequent season. This time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team reached a deal with Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, sending Zhao Rui to Xinjiang while acquiring the signing rights for Zhou Qi. Zhao Rui's various actions after leaving, as well as some of his responses, are undoubtedly like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. When the fans of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team called out in anticipation for him to return soon, Zhao Rui bluntly replied, "Once I leave, I won't come back." Such a resolute response is like a cold sword, severing the last thread of warmth in the hearts of…

This season, the CBA league has increased the turnover of foreign players, allowing teams to register up to 4 foreign players and changing the foreign player rule to 4 quarters with 7 rotations. Teams have started an arms race, introducing capable foreign players, including those who have played in the NBA, European leagues, and development leagues. Up to now, a total of 36 foreign players have been cut, mostly due to unsuitability for their respective teams, and a few due to injuries. The regular season has only completed 30 rounds, with 16 more to go. It is expected that more foreign players will be cut in the future, while new ones will also join. Recently, Jiangsu Kedeya canceled the registration of foreign player Tequiven Smith, and Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu canceled the registration of foreign player Paris Bass. Jiangsu team currently has three foreign players: Jackson, Goodwin, and Thompson. Goodwin is the core of the team, and Smith, who only played 10 games for the team, averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals per game, which are the statistics of a super foreign player. He can score, grab rebounds, assist teammates, and fight for the ball to win offensive opportunities for the team. Jiangsu's record is 5 wins and 25 losses, making it unlikely for them to advance to the playoffs. Yi Li is still focusing on training young players. Tonight, they face the strong Xinjiang team, where their provincial brothers, Tongxi, have already defeated Xinjiang. Let's see how Yi Li deploys his troops and how they will…

Unexpected Losses for Xinjiang and Liaoning, Taihang Mountain Brothers Steady Their Position!‌ Weekend night games were truly exciting, with three out of four matches going down to the final decisive moments. Shanghai achieved a big win, while Jiangsu continued their winning streak. Beikong failed in a buzzer-beater attempt, narrowly losing to Guangdong by one point. If these results were predictable, then Xinjiang's loss to Tongxi, resulting in two consecutive defeats, and Liaoning's double defeat after being dramatically reversed by Qingdao in the final quarter, were certainly unexpected losses. The second stage is about to conclude, and this year's ranking competition from 2nd to 8th place has been incredibly fierce. Shandong lost to Shenzhen on the evening of January 11th, and Shanxi's performance has also been quite poor. As direct competitors, the losses of Xinjiang and Liaoning have undoubtedly made the rankings of Shandong and Shanxi, known as the Taihang Mountain brothers, a bit more stable. It's clear that there are no obvious weak teams now; any team can win or lose, and those who dare to underestimate their opponents will be punished by the results.
