Guangdong Derby is here as scheduled, and this season's three teams from Guangdong have faced significant challenges. It is unlikely that the feat of all three Guangdong teams reaching the playoffs last season will be repeated this year. Both Guangzhou and Shenzhen have traded away their starting lineups, while Guangdong Hongyuan has also struggled this season, ranking only ninth in the league and potentially setting a new low for their performance. Initially, Guangdong continued to play with their familiar double-big foreign lineup, focusing on the inside game. It's hard to imagine what their record would be without the duo of Jilunwater and Morand this season, especially Jilunwater, who was initially signed as a third foreigner but has become a superstar for Guangdong. The main issue for Guangdong Hongyuan this year has been their recruitment strategy of "greedy for small advantages but suffering great losses." They still lack an explosive offensive point on the wing, and the team has faced difficulties in the second stage. Coach Du Feng's young team was not positioned as a championship contender at the start of the season, so they chose Barton and Bazley, an old veteran and a defensive player, neither of whom could help solve the team's problems. Jilunwater was initially questioned by fans, but he later proved himself. However, the primary consideration in choosing Jilunwater was cost-effectiveness, still aiming for a bargain, and they even brought in a mercenary foreign aid, Les, from the Taiwan Provincial League. In the end, it was still a mentality of taking advantage, thinking they could get through…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team pulled off a surprising victory against the formidable Shandong team with a score of 98-93, successfully reversing the game to achieve an upset win. This victory did not come easily for Guangdong; they were under pressure in the first half, managed to take the lead in the third quarter but quickly fell behind again. Fortunately, they held their ground in the fourth quarter with solid defense, and capitalized on Shandong's poor offensive performance, where they just couldn't seem to make their shots, leading to a lucky victory. Coach Du Feng breathed a sigh of relief after the game, acknowledging the difficulties faced by the team. There are two pieces of good news following Guangdong's victory: Firstly, Xu Jie continued to be impressive; without him in the first half, the team would have crumbled. He also led the team well in the second half. Additionally, he only played for 44 minutes, resting for 4 minutes, which was a much-needed breather. It is hoped that he can rest for 8 minutes in the next game, gradually increasing his rest time, as overuse could lead to injuries. Secondly, Morand's defense was truly strong, completely stifling Shandong's attack in the fourth quarter. He also possesses organizational skills, acting as a defensive anchor, providing stability. However, his major flaw was the high number of turnovers, with 7 in this game, an area that needs improvement. Alongside the good news, there are also two pieces of bad news: Firstly, Bazley struggled in high-level competition, lacking ball-handling and offensive capabilities, as well as…

Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has not been calm. Top athletes such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, all Olympic champions, have successively withdrawn from the world rankings, with Liu Guoliang also expressing his stance on their withdrawals. In addition to these three Olympic champions, another national table tennis Olympic champion, Xu Xin, has also had some "friction" with the 68-year-old former national table tennis world champion, Guo Yuehua, due to certain events during the China Table Tennis Super League (CTTSL). In a recent live broadcast, after responding to the topic of defending Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin once again discussed the remarks made by Guo Yuehua in a video, stating frankly that this matter is very disgusting. After the men's team semi-finals of the CTTSL, the three members of the Shanghai team—Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, and Zhou Kai—together accepted media interviews. During the interview, the media reporters almost continuously asked questions directed at Fan Zhendong, which made him somewhat unhappy. At this moment, Xu Xin decisively intervened, directly reminding the media reporters that they were a team and suggesting that everyone first interview Zhou Kai. This action was indeed warm, reflecting Xu Xin's emotional intelligence, as he defended Fan Zhendong while also taking care of Zhou Kai's feelings. Regarding his actions during the interview, Xu Xin also discussed this point in the live broadcast. He said, "During the interview, one question followed another, which is quite impactful for athletes. I noticed that Xiaopang (Fan Zhendong) didn't really want to answer, so I controlled the pace a bit…

Shandong Taishan lost a key player before the start of winter training. This player is Liao Lisheng, the local commander of Taishan Team. Liao Lisheng has officially left the club and joined Chengdu Rongcheng Team. As a result, many fans of Luneng sent their blessings to Liao Lisheng. Liao Lisheng joined Taishan Team in the 2022 season. At that time, the team introduced him in the hope that this commander would replace Xu Xin who left the team. Xu Xin joined Taishan Team in the 2021 season and had excellent performances in both passing and shooting. Taishan Team could win the double championship of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the 2021 season, and Xu Xin always stood out at the first time to perform a feat of saving the situation. Therefore, Xu Xin became a must-keep player for Taishan Team. Unfortunately, Shanghai Port Team intercepted him halfway. Shanghai Port successfully took away Xu Xin, which made Taishan Team very depressed. In this case, Taishan Team chose to sign Liao Lisheng. After joining Taishan Team, Liao Lisheng also had excellent performances in both passing and shooting. Liao Lisheng can not only send wonderful passes for Taishan Team in the attack, but also have a watertight performance in the defense. Therefore, Liao Lisheng quickly became the core commander of Taishan Team. Taishan Team could win the FA Cup championship in the 2022 season, and Liao Lisheng played an important role. When Liao Lisheng was gradually getting into his prime in Taishan Team, his contract with the club expired.…

It must be said that Xu Xin is really versatile, including his two children who are also very comprehensive. Recently, the second stage of the Ping Super League has already started in Shanghai, and of course Xu Xin also participated, and he even brought his wife and children this time. When Xu Xin was interviewed, his son was playing with another girl next to him, while his daughter kept looking at him. After a while, his wife Yao Yan went to catch the son. Netizens summarized: "The father being interviewed, the quiet sister, the mother catching the baby, the brother taking off" haha. It must be said that Xu Xin's son and daughter are really cute. Because sometimes, Xu Xin also posts some photos of their daily life on social media, and both children are lively and cute. Today, Yao Yan shared some daily videos with everyone. In the video, the two children were calling Sun Yingsha haha. First, the younger sister lay on the bed, holding a toy phone, calling Sun Yingsha, and saying, "Sister Sasha, see you later" haha. Then the older brother ran over and said, "Don't hang up the phone, I haven't talked to Sister Sasha yet," and then started talking, asking, "Is Sister Sasha working in the office?" Really, these two little guys are just too cute!!! It feels like they are very happy in this family, and the two siblings are happy every day. It's so envious! Later, Yao Yan also added a photo of the two children with Sun Yingsha, it seems that…

The second stage of the 2024-25 CBA regular season is in full swing, but rumors are quickly spreading that Guangdong men's basketball team may be ready to give up on their championship aspirations. This once invincible champion team now seems to have accepted the reality that their strength is no longer at its peak. In the last game, Guangdong lost away to Liaoning, who were missing Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin and had a thin bench of foreign players. Although this defeat was somewhat regrettable, it also reflected the actual difficulties faced by Guangdong this season. As we all know, Du Feng's coaching style in the past was known for its iron-bloodedness. His strict guidance and even "shouting-style teaching" on the sidelines made many young players suffer during their growth. However, this season's Du Feng seems like a different person. In Guangdong's repeated attempts to catch up after falling behind, he not only remains calm but also decisively substitutes key players at critical moments, giving more opportunities to bench players. This "Buddhist" style is likely Du Feng's helpless move in the face of reality - the team's current talent and strength are no longer enough to support championship ambitions. Guangdong has lost several games, which fans can see clearly. What is encouraging is that despite unsatisfactory results, Du Feng still tries to tap the potential of newcomers. The team's new foreign player, Les, has signed but has yet to make an appearance, leading many to speculate that Guangdong may have decided to invest more time and resources in cultivating local…

The second phase of the highly anticipated CBA regular season has been filled with intense competition, and recently, news about the new recruit Lai Si not being utilized by the traditional powerhouse Guangdong men's basketball team has caught the attention of fans. It is reported that although Guangdong team has signed the new recruit Lai Si, he has not been able to get the use of head coach Du Feng in the last three games. Even during garbage time in some games, Lai Si still did not get the opportunity to play. Du Feng prefers to train players like Zhang Haojia and Zhang Wenyi, while Lai Si has not only failed to score in three games but also had negligible playing time. Obviously, Guangdong team has gradually shifted its primary task to training players at this stage. This means that Guangdong team has probably completely entered a stage focused on cultivating newcomers. In fact, after the Chinese men's basketball team's starting guard showed fatigue in multiple games, Lai Si was a highly anticipated new foreign aid for Guangdong team fans. Since joining Guangdong team, Lai Si has not only been considered capable of rotating with Xu Jie to become a new strong attacking point with the ball but also bringing a new tactical system to the team. Especially in terms of the double-big foreign aid strategy failing to achieve scoring breakthroughs and defending the perimeter, Lai Si was even hailed as the savior of the team by the outside world at one point. However, unexpectedly, Lai Si only got single-digit…

Congratulations to Du Feng! Guangdong Team Sets New Record! A Night of 41-point Victory with Three Unexpected Gains! 106-65, Guangdong men's basketball team has set a new record for the biggest winning margin this season! To be honest, before this game, I was a bit worried whether Guangdong could defeat Jilin. After all, in the last game, the team did not perform well overall, and Jilin even led Liaoning by 41 points at halftime! Jones, who returned to Jilin, averages an impressive 33.3 points, second-highest in the league! However, after the pre-game roster was announced, the suspense of the game disappeared because several key players from Jilin, including Jones, Jiang Yuxing, and Jiang Weize, were unable to play! Therefore, for this game, the number of points won is not as important as the process of the game! Looking at the entire game, Guangdong had both joys and concerns! The main concerns are two-fold! Firstly, there is the old problem of relaxation! In the first quarter, the full-strength Guangdong team only led by 3 points with a score of 25-22, with Gillenwater scoring 18 points out of the 25. The team played very simply on both offense and defense, giving the opponent too many easy scoring opportunities on defense and lacking coordination on offense except for Gillenwater's hot hand! Fortunately, after adjusting during the break, the team increased their defensive intensity in the second quarter, scoring 38-17 in that quarter, and continued this intensity in the second half, allowing Xu Jie, Gillenwater, and Morland to finish work early after three quarters!…

Recently, a netizen shared photos of Yi Jianlian, a Chinese men's basketball legend, at a coffee shop in Los Angeles, USA! This is the second time Yi Jianlian has been seen after the scandal! However, this time it was abroad, and the previous one was suspected to be domestic! As a result, it has attracted heated discussions and attention from fans and media. Fans are still waiting for Yi Jianlian's response to the scandal. After all, Yi Jianlian has always given fans a very positive image. So when the scandal was exposed, the first reaction of the fans was that they were being slandered again. Fans expect Yi Jianlian to come forward to refute the rumors. However, Yi Jianlian's side has remained silent. Even until now, neither Yi Jianlian himself nor his brokerage company have released any messages! Honestly, it's a pity! The current situation of "Heroine Sister Qiao" is also a focus of fans' attention. It is reported that after the storm broke out, "Heroine Sister Qiao" was taken away by the police at the airport. Some say he wanted to run away, and others say he was exposed for some of his previous unsavory events after the "Yi Jianlian storm" broke out. According to the blogger's revelation, "Sister Qiao" was reported by a previous client for extortion and blackmail, and the expected sentence may be more than ten years. More than a month has passed, and the heat of Yi Jianlian's scandal has also decreased. A few days ago, a netizen shared a video of Yi Jianlian appearing…
