The policy of allowing only one foreign player per team in the fourth quarter highlights the importance of a team's overall strength during this period. Teams with high domestic player scoring percentages, strong foreign players capable of breaking through tough defenses, and resilient defense are likely to perform well in the fourth quarter. Here are the top 5 teams with the strongest fourth quarter lineups in the CBA this season: 5th place: Tongxi Men's Basketball Team Tongxi has a high scoring percentage from domestic players, with two local players in the top three scorers: Lin Wei averaging 20.9 points and Guo Haowen averaging 17 points. Their combination of Lin Wei, Guo Haowen, Zhu Mingzhen, Liu Dong, and Lifv in the fourth quarter can score from multiple angles, but their poor defense and rim protection prevent them from achieving even greater success. 4th place: Shanghai Men's Basketball Team Shanghai's foreign players, Bradsoe and Lofton, show potential for strong offensive capabilities, which needs to be tested in tough matches. They could maintain the team's offensive aggression by alternating in the fourth quarter. Domestic players Li Tianrong and Li Hongquan are good shooters who can handle some of the ball possession, but their independent offensive abilities are average. Shanghai's rim protection is weak, despite having Wang Zhelin, who averages 2 turnovers and 3.5 fouls per game, which is a disadvantage. 3rd place: Beijing Men's Basketball Team Beijing's small foreign player, Jemian, is not bad, with key moment statistics ranking 7th in the league. However, the lack of suitable substitutes within the team is…

On January 5th, the CBA Xinjiang team suffered a rare super comeback at the home of the Shanxi team. In the last quarter, Shanxi scored 41 to 11, not only wiping out the 25-point difference in the first three quarters, but also miraculously winning with a score of 115 to 110. After the game, Liu Wei attributed the reason for the loss to the youth of the players and avoided talking about his own tactical mistakes. This is the third time recently that Liu Wei has spoken without thinking. Who is really young? It seems that this rookie coach is still very inexperienced. A few days ago, the Xinjiang team just lost a record, which was the unbeaten home record of the season. The Shandong team ended Xinjiang's 14-game home winning streak. In that game, Liu Wei shouted "call SB to shoot" at Yu Dehao on the sidelines! Yu Dehao complained to the referee without success, and then he hit back fiercely with a three-pointer against Liu Wei's insult. After the game, Liu Wei hinted at the unfairness of the referees in the interview, pointing fingers at the league and opponents, and finally received a fine for improper behavior. However, Liu Wei did not learn from this lesson. After offending the league referees and making enemies with the opposing players, he now points his finger at his own players. His words at the press conference were very unprofessional, seemingly praising young players, but actually trying to absolve himself. Liu Wei said: The loss of the Xinjiang team is a tuition…

CBA's second stage is halfway through, and various teams have encountered different levels of injury situations, resulting in significant changes in the competition for first place in the regular season. The peak period of Liaoning and Guangdong has passed, and Xinjiang and Shanxi men's basketball teams have become the favorites to win the championship. In this round, the two teams faced each other directly. Xinjiang ranked second, with Zhao Rui suspended for five games, which had a significant impact, and captain Abudu Salamu continued to be absent due to injury. Shanxi once topped the standings but has recently struggled due to adjustments in their foreign players, leading to a lack of momentum, as evidenced by their loss to Qingdao in the previous game. Xierzati quickly entered the game, scoring 5 points with agile counterattacks and decisive three-point shots. With Abudu and Zhao Rui unable to play, he took on the responsibility of outside offense. Xinjiang's inside and outside attack was in full bloom, with very smooth offense, starting with a dreamy 12-4 lead and capitalizing on two turnovers from Shanxi to convert scores. Shanxi replaced Yuan Shuai to increase the outside threat, but there were two more turnovers, and the home court turned into impatience. Ilyfati hit another three-pointer in pursuit, and Diawara finally broke the scoring drought with a fast-break dunk after the switch. After switching to the double-small foreign lineup, Shanxi accelerated their offensive pace, successfully completing two consecutive rounds. In a conversation between strong teams, they would not be overwhelmed in the first quarter. In the first…

115-110, Shanxi men's basketball team completed a 25-point comeback at home, reversing Xinjiang men's basketball team and successfully avenging their previous loss. This game was beyond words, with Xinjiang, who had benched their main lineup, dominating Shanxi's full-strength team in the first three quarters. However, in the fourth quarter, during the single foreign player matchup, Xinjiang's players seemed to lose their touch, and coach Liu Wei's foolish tactics did not help. On the other hand, Shanxi made a strong comeback, demonstrating championship-caliber dominance and tenacity, ultimately completing the comeback. Let's listen to what media experts have to say after the game. Guangdong media: In the final quarter, Shanxi scored 41-11, completing a 25-point comeback at home with a 115-110 victory over Xinjiang, achieving revenge. I still have the same question: why didn't they bring on Peterson earlier? Also, despite Diyallo missing two free throws and Liu Chuanxing securing a crucial offensive rebound to seal the game, why didn't Xinjiang substitute Li Yanzhe? This season, Xinjiang has experienced several instances of leading by a large margin only to be unexpectedly overturned, making it incredibly dramatic. Liaoning media: A comeback of this magnitude from Shanxi is something that, in my memory, only Liaoning could have pulled off a decade ago. Why watch low-level NBA games when knowledgeable fans should watch the CBA? The CBA offers everything you could want in terms of drama, both on and off the court, and it's addictive. Shanghai media: Under the four-quarter, seven-player foreign policy, a 20-point lead is no longer as secure as it once was.…

On January 5th, there are three pieces of news regarding the CBA to share with you. First, according to the official CBA website, Liaoning Men's Basketball has successfully registered their big foreign aid, Justin Patton, who is expected to play in the upcoming match against Guangsha. However, Guangsha's new foreign aid, Boban, is not listed in the registration materials, indicating that his debut will be delayed. This season, Liaoning has encountered difficulties in recruiting big foreign aids. They initially secured Aqur, but his soft playing style did not suit the intense physicality of the CBA, resulting in his release during the first stage. Liaoning had considered re-signing Morand and reached a preliminary agreement, only for Guangdong to offer a higher contract, leaving Liaoning's management in a difficult position. In the second stage, they hastily signed Ture, but this foreign aid's level was not up to par, failing to alleviate the pressure on Han Dejun. Now, fans have high hopes for Patton, hoping he won't disappoint and get replaced mid-season. Patton, 27 years old, stands at 211cm tall and weighs 109kg, playing as a center. He was selected 16th overall in the first round of the 2017 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Throughout his NBA career, he played for the Timberwolves, 76ers, Thunder, and Rockets. During the 2023-2024 season, Patton had a brief stint with Shanxi Men's Basketball. Prior to coming to China, he played in the Greek league. The second piece of news involves media reports stating that Zhu Xu Hang, the power forward for Xinjiang Team, has passed…

On January 5th, Beijing time, in a CBA regular season game, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team made an incredible comeback against Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, winning 115-110 to return to second place in the league. Xinjiang had a significant lead of 15 points in the first quarter, which extended to 19 points at halftime and 25 points by the end of the third quarter. However, Shanxi staged a remarkable comeback in the fourth quarter, with a 26-4 run that narrowed the gap to just 3 points. In the decisive moments, Goodwin drew a foul and made two free throws to take the lead, and Shanxi finished the game with an astonishing 41-11 run. Team Statistics Xinjiang: Lawson scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists; Ilyas Fu La Ti contributed 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 three-pointers; Hegen Si added 11 points and 10 assists; Xierzati had 16 points and 4 three-pointers; Peterson chipped in with 14 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists; Yang Rui scored 13 points; Li Yan Zhe had 9 points and 5 rebounds.

Star of the Game - Ilyas Fu La Ti Despite Goodwin's shooting struggles (4 for 15 and 0 for 6 from three-point range), he was the catalyst for the fourth-quarter rally and made the crucial free throws…

At 19:35 on January 5th, Beijing time, the 27th round of the CBA regular season will kick off in full swing. Among the matches, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the home game of Shanxi Men's Basketball Team against Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team. It should be noted that the two teams have previously met in Urumqi, where Shanxi Men's Basketball Team suffered an away defeat, and the young coach Pan Jiang even made the bold statement, "No one can win here." Now, arriving in Taiyuan, for Shanxi Team, it's time for revenge. The young coach must defend his glory and possibly achieve a big victory at home. Such a heavyweight match has been wisely scheduled for live broadcast by CCTV5. Looking at the data, with Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team's away victory over Sichuan Team, the team's ranking has quietly climbed to second place, surpassing Shanxi Team based on their win-loss record. In other words, the two teams are now facing each other again, which means a battle between the second and third-ranked teams in the league. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team is strong and well-equipped. Although they lost unexpectedly to Qingdao Team away in the last round, this team is powerful, especially under the strategic planning of Li Chunjiang, maintaining the health of all players, especially the strong player Zhang Ning, with him there, the hope of victory remains. Shanxi Men's Basketball Team once almost defeated Xinjiang Team away, but unfortunately, due to some factors of time and place, Shanxi Team had to accept defeat, leading to Pan Jiang's comment, "No…

The championship puzzle of Xinjiang men's basketball team has a conspicuous blank, and the name of this blank is Zhao Rui. The once-promising strong guard now has to temporarily leave the court due to a collision with the referee. A five-game suspension and a fine of ten thousand yuan, this is not only a personal loss for Zhao Rui but also a heavy blow to Xinjiang's championship aspirations. Let's first review this conflict incident. During a critical moment in the game, Zhao Rui's layup was interfered with by an opposing player. He believed that the opponent had fouled, but the referee did not call it. Zhao Rui's emotions exploded instantly. He first loudly complained to the referee and then directly used his body to collide with the referee. This scene stunned the fans at the scene and viewers in front of the TV. Was there any controversy in the referee's decision? Was Zhao Rui's behavior too aggressive? For a while, various comments and analyses filled the internet. In fact, similar conflicts between players and referees are not uncommon in the history of the CBA. Some players, dissatisfied with the refereeing, will complain or argue with the referee, but it is rare for a player to directly collide with the referee like Zhao Rui. Looking back at previous cases, we can see that the CBA league's standards for punishing such behaviors are inconsistent. Some players may be suspended for several games, while others may be fined. The specific punishment depends on the severity of the incident and the player's past performance.…

On January 5th, the CBA regular season continues with a total of 5 matches taking place simultaneously. These include matchups between Shanxi and Xinjiang, Guangzhou and Qingdao, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as Sichuan and Fujian. While only one match can be considered a focal point, the other games are equally intriguing, and we will provide a brief pre-game analysis. The game between Shanxi and Xinjiang is undoubtedly the main event. Both teams have long been ranked in the top four, boasting impressive fighting capabilities. However, they have recently encountered some setbacks; for instance, Xinjiang lost to Shandong, resulting in their strong home court being conquered by the opponent. This defeat also led to Zhao Rui receiving a five-game suspension, which came at a significant cost. Shanxi recently suffered a loss against Qingdao, which had previously given them an opportunity to challenge Guangsha for the top spot. However, they now find themselves tied with Xinjiang at 19 wins and 6 losses. The outcome of this match could essentially secure the second position, and competition between teams at the same level is always fierce. Currently, Shanxi seems to have the upper hand, not only due to playing at home but also because they have a more complete lineup with a larger pool of available players. Their frontline features Liu Chuanxing and Ge Zhaobao taking turns to deal with Li Yanzhe, while their group of guards is even more abundant, with players like Zhang Ning, Yuan Shuai, and Jia Mingru capable of both shooting and driving to the basket. Xinjiang's disadvantage lies…

The importance of foreign players in the league cannot be overstated. Beijing's current foreign players are not performing well. Omer is lazy and cannot handle tough offensive situations. Jerman only knows how to dribble and lacks coordination and organization, sometimes even falling short of Fang Shuo. Solomon is not a number 5 player and cannot hold his ground. With a healthy Zhou Qi, they might manage, but looking at Shanxi, Guangsha, and Xinjiang, their foreign players are truly formidable. Beijing's foreign players are not as effective as domestic players, so it's difficult for them to compete. This year's foreign players are really not up to par; winning the championship is out of the question, and even making the top four is a challenge. Therefore, Beijing must change their foreign players; there is no other way. Coach Xu's on-site command is a weak point. He was the same when he was with the women's basketball team. He is better suited to be an assistant coach solely responsible for training, which he is top-tier at domestically. Every time Coach Liu Wei of the opposing team calls a timeout, Xinjiang comes back with targeted offense and defense. When Beijing suddenly loses power, Coach Xu does not make substitutions or adjustments. After the timeout, there are various mistakes, and they lose in the third quarter. The main issue is that Xinjiang increases their intensity, and Beijing cannot match it. It's an old problem; they fear pressing, causing offensive turnovers and defensive lapses. Moreover, there are few players attacking the basket. In fact, strong teams…
