In recent years, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team has been tumultuous, leaving fans both hopeful and disappointed. From being a former powerhouse to the shattering of dreams of becoming a king, the emotions towards the men's basketball team are complex. Especially in the upcoming Men's Asian Cup, whether they can rally and be reborn like a phoenix has become a hot topic among fans. Although their record has not been good, the fervor of the CBA league continues to captivate the attention of countless spectators. In this era of fierce competition, where does the future of Chinese men's basketball lie? It is these young figures that emit a glimmer of hope. In recent years, the CBA league has gradually become the core of Chinese basketball, where new stars are not lacking. In the focus on men's basketball, young players are seizing every opportunity to showcase their talents. Now, without a doubt, they are the cornerstone of the national team's future. In this process, the Chinese men's basketball team has gradually formed a younger and more diversified lineup.

In the fierce competition of the CBA, every game is full of variables and challenges. The match between Guangdong Team and Tianjin Team has once again proven the uncertainty of basketball games and the charm of competitive sports. When the final whistle blew and the score was fixed at 120-111, announcing Guangdong Team's victory, the hidden dangers were much more complex and profound than they appeared on the surface. Xu Jie showed signs of fatigue, and Du Feng's reliance on overextending Jilun Wat to defeat Tianjin Team, which had lost six consecutive games, was not worth celebrating. From the first minute of the game, Guangdong Team demonstrated a strong desire to win. This determination to win was not only reflected in the players' proactive attitude in fighting for the ball but also in their smooth offensive cooperation, which was fully displayed. Xu Jie, Jilun Wat, Zhang Haojia, and other players bloomed in multiple points. Their active performance on both offense and defense allowed Guangdong Team to establish a huge lead of over 20 points in the first half. Such a start seemed to herald an easy victory to come. However, Tianjin Team caught up with the score in the last quarter. As the game progressed, the absence of Guangdong Team's small foreign aid began to show its adverse effects. In high-intensity, high-confrontation games, lacking a small foreign aid who could stand out in critical moments, Guangdong Team's offensive firepower was significantly suppressed. More importantly, after a long period of high-intensity play, core player Xu Jie gradually exposed his physical problems,…

Guangdong Team's Performance Revival and Their Recent Wins After experiencing ups and downs this season, Guangdong Team's performance has finally improved. They have recently defeated Tianjin, Shandong, and Shenzhen teams, achieving a three-game winning streak, improving their record to 16 wins and 11 losses, ranking ninth in the league. Their playoff spot is quite stable, and there is also a possibility for them to further improve their ranking! Currently ranked ninth, Guangdong is not far behind the teams ahead of them. They are only two wins away from Liaoning Team, who is ranked sixth, giving them a chance to catch up! Especially now, besides the excellent performances of Jilunwater and Xu Jie, the two foreign players, Bazley and Morland, are also playing well. The performances of Du Runwang, Huang Rongqi, Wang Shaojie, and Zhang Wenyi are also improving. Everyone in Guangdong is ready to fight, which is strengthening the team's combat power! With a three-game winning streak, Guangdong is aiming for a better ranking, striving for victories as much as possible. In their next game, they faced the challenge of Tianjin Team, and ultimately, Guangdong did not disappoint their fans, defeating their opponent 123-90 and securing a four-game winning streak! Tianjin Team's recent performance has been very poor, losing 14 out of their last 15 games. This caused the team to drop from holding a playoff spot to a record of 7 wins and 20 losses, ranking 18th in the league. It has become very difficult for them to compete for a playoff spot, and they had little chance against…

This game was truly thrilling and suspenseful, almost like an endless brawl. The match between Guangdong and Shanxi teams was not just an ordinary basketball game; it was a fierce competition where both teams fought to the best of their abilities, engaging in a back-and-forth battle. Every offensive and defensive move on the court made people too nervous to catch their breath until the very last second. The game started at 7:30 PM and lasted nearly three hours, ending with Guangdong's victory over Shanxi thanks to Xu Jie's buzzer-beater, with the final score set at 119 to 117. The process of this game was full of ups and downs, with heavy suspense and excitement beyond imagination. Shanxi team showed a strong performance at the beginning, demonstrating their competitiveness that could not be underestimated. From the start of the game, Shanxi entered the state quickly, performing very actively and proactively. Several counterattacks were executed swiftly, especially their precise outside shooting, which once led them ahead of Guangdong. Guangdong did not let Shanxi pull away too much, maintaining a tight scoring gap throughout. At the end of the first quarter, Shanxi had a slight lead, but the gap was not significant, leaving the game situation still unpredictable. In the second quarter, Guangdong launched a counterattack. After adjusting their tactics, Guangdong's offense and defense transition became smoother. Several beautiful attacks built momentum, especially their fast breaks, showcasing speed and flexibility. In this quarter, Guangdong gradually regained the rhythm of the game, once leveling the score. Eventually, at halftime, the two teams tied at…

With the CBA league entering its 28th round, fans once again focus on the potential and performance of the Chinese men's basketball team. Although the Chinese men's basketball team has not performed as expected in recent years, especially missing out on two consecutive Olympics, there are still some indispensable core players emerging in the domestic league. With the Asian Cup approaching, the state and performance of these players are particularly critical. Through the analysis of the latest round of games, we can clearly see that the performances of the following four players are enough to support the future battles of the Chinese men's basketball team. Xu Jie: The "Little Foreign Aid" on the Field In the game between Guangdong and Tianjin, Xu Jie's performance was comprehensive. Although his height of 1.79 meters is not advantageous, his guard skills and field dominance are still very outstanding. In this round of the game, he contributed 16 points and 12 assists, helping Guangdong narrowly defeat Tianjin with a score of 120-111. It is worth mentioning that Xu Jie's plus-minus value is +9, which is of great importance in the team. In the absence of Hu Mingxuan due to injury, Xu Jie took on more offensive and organizational tasks, showing a level close to that of a "little foreign aid." This season, Xu Jie averages 15.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists, ranking second in assists, which clearly proves his strength, and his position in the national team is gradually stabilizing. Hu Jinqiu: The Absolute Pillar of Guangsha's Frontcourt As the core frontcourt player…

Guangdong Hongyuan's performance this season has indeed disappointed many fans. As the eleven-time champion in CBA history, the slump of the Guangdong team is quite unexpected. After reaching the 26th round, their record stands at only 15 wins and 11 losses, hovering in ninth place. It is clear that the domineering aura of a traditional powerhouse no longer exists. You must know that the Guangdong team was once the ruler of the CBA, with an unrivaled momentum. However, the current decline is truly disheartening. Where exactly did the problem lie? The answer may be hidden in their off-season operations. The team's adjustments during the off-season can be described as a "crash." What is most regrettable is that there were problems in the decision-making regarding foreign and domestic players by the Guangdong team. Zhu Fangyu failed to successfully retain Zhou Qi during the off-season, and even sent away all the foreign players. This move directly created a severe void in the team's lineup. To fill this gap, the Guangdong team signed foreign players such as Barton and Arms, but the results were disappointing. The two foreign players' performances were mediocre, failing to provide the anticipated strong support for the team. Speaking of injuries, the Guangdong team's luck this year has been quite poor. The core guard, Hu Mingxuan, missed games due to injuries, causing the team's backcourt to almost collapse, with Xu Jie supporting the entire backline alone. The mental and physical pressure on Xu Jie gradually increased, as he played almost every game under continuous high-intensity matches. Under prolonged high…

Recently, after NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves announced the release of point guard D'Angelo Russell, several CBA clubs have shown interest in acquiring him. According to media reports, Beijing Shougang Men's Basketball Team was the first to make an offer, followed by Guangdong Southern Tigers joining the bidding war. Guangdong Southern Tigers lack talent at the No. 1 position, with only Xu Jie struggling to support, averaging over 40 minutes per game. Therefore, the team also wants to find a player to share the pressure with Xu Jie, and Russell is one of the targets. Guangdong Southern Tigers have been paying attention to overseas small foreign aid information after hastily ending their contract with the subpar foreign aid, Les. They have now officially offered Russell. Russell, standing at 1.93 meters tall, is a point guard with good organizing and connecting abilities, which is exactly what Guangdong needs. However, many people are not optimistic about this signing because Russell has been called a "tank god" by fans due to his slow breakthrough pace and fondness for mindlessly shooting three-pointers with low accuracy. However, as the saying goes, "A change of scenery can do wonders." In the NBA, he couldn't get playing time, but coming to the CBA might be like a bug, such as Shanghai Sharks' Lofton. Bazley, who currently plays for Guangdong Southern Tigers, is also a player who couldn't get playing time in the NBA. Considering that Guangdong Southern Tigers have stumbled three times in a row in introducing small foreign aids, the team management will be very cautious in selecting…

On January 9th, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the second week of All-Star voting. The backcourt players in the South Division have become a focus of attention. In addition to the heated discussion among fans about Hu Mingxuan's approach to Guo Ailun, Xu Jie has also firmly established himself as the top player in the South Division. Perhaps Du Feng's continuous mention of fans voting more for Xu Jie at post-game press conferences has had a certain effect. After all, the Guangdong head coach personally campaigning can exert significant market influence. It is also the only instance so far this season where a head coach has helped his protégé campaign for votes. The top four backcourt players in the South Division are: Xu Jie (496,052), Guo Ailun (407,493), Hu Mingxuan (386,402), Sun Minghui (246,391). For Sun Minghui, he has clearly become the "biggest loser" in this All-Star voting. Compared to Xu Jie's first place in the backcourt, there is a difference of one time, a full 240,000 votes. Guo Ailun and Hu Mingxuan are only about 20,000 votes apart. According to the fact that both are top-tier stars in the CBA, even if they continue to be on the sidelines, they can still receive a large number of fan votes, with 407,493 and 386,402 respectively. Who can lock down the starting position in the third stage will require the final week of voting. Given that both have massive fan bases, a fierce competition is foreseeable. Sun Minghui is quite embarrassed. According to the attendance rate and performance of the…

In the CBA regular season, Guangdong defeated Tianjin 120-111 in an away game. Guangdong played relatively easily in this match, pulling away the score through consecutive points in the last few minutes of the second quarter. This allowed them to maintain control over Tianjin throughout the game and ultimately secure the victory. Four players achieved perfect scores in the game. Wat's control of the situation was commendable. When Guangdong experienced a power outage in the second half, he was able to score continuously, suppressing Tianjin's momentum and finishing with 30 points. Xu Jie's performance in this game was much better than before. He didn't play much in the previous game and was recovering from his condition, but he still managed to lead Guangdong's offense with 16 points and 12 assists. Morand remains a solid presence under the basket, capable of finishing plays, grabbing rebounds, and exerting strong defensive dominance. He can dominate in various aspects, becoming the foundation of Guangdong's interior. Bazley is now playing very decisively on the offensive end. Although Tianjin is just a weak team, as long as he maintains his scoring ability and determination, fans will be satisfied. He scored 15 points in the game, and it is hoped that he can continue this form in the future. Huang Rongqi, Zhang Haojia, Ren Junfei, Wang Shaojie, and Du Runwang all gave passable performances. Huang Rongqi was able to complete his tasks in the game, going 4 for 6 with 12 points and 3 assists, and his defensive intensity was also good, giving Xu Jie some breathing…

On January 8th, Beijing time, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team defeated Tianjin Men's Basketball Team 120:111 on the road. Overall, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team basically controlled the rhythm of the game throughout. However, due to a momentary slack when they once had a lead of 20 points, the game was gradually caught up by Tianjin Men's Basketball Team. Fortunately, with the presence of Jilunwater and Xu Jie, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team managed to stabilize their advantage and win the game. However, after the game, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team also received three pieces of good news and one piece of worrying news. Firstly, it is undeniable that Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has firmly established the trio of Xu Jie, Jilunwater, and Morand as their core players to continue their campaign. The team has now achieved a four-game winning streak, and if Guangdong Men's Basketball Team can maintain this momentum and stability, they may be able to achieve a very good record by the end of the second stage. Xu Jie has solidified his position as the captain of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, and with him, the team's offense is well organized. Moreover, when Xu Jie is on the court, the entire team plays with confidence. Jilunwater can fully display his scoring ability, and his defensive shortcomings can be effectively covered by Morand. Additionally, Morand can help Xu Jie organize the offense and reduce pressure, so these three giants complement each other. The second piece of good news is that the third foreign aid, Bazley, is gradually improving on the offensive end, or…
