104-101, Liaoning managed to hold their home court and narrowly defeat Beikong Men's Basketball. The defending champions were able to secure a victory, which they owe largely to Ferg's explosive performance in the third quarter. Without his contribution, Liaoning would have lost. The team did not play well, especially in the fourth quarter, where they became too relaxed after leading by a significant margin, almost allowing their opponents to make a comeback. This is something that needs serious reflection. In the post-game interview, Yang Ming expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance, criticizing their arrogance. There are two pieces of good news for Liaoning: Firstly, Ferg has returned to form, the Finals MVP and best foreign player. He and Wells alternate in their explosive performances, supporting each other. Liaoning's small foreign players are incredibly strong, boasting a luxurious backcourt lineup. The second piece of good news is that Patton is really good, not a flop. His passing ability is crucial for the team. Unfortunately, his tactical position is insufficient, and he doesn't get enough ball possession. If given more opportunities, it's believed that he will perform well; he's a player who uses his brain on the court. However, Liaoning also faces three pieces of bad news: Firstly, Zhao Jiwei continues to struggle, with poor offensive performance since his return. He made many mistakes in this game, not in sync with his teammates. Additionally, he's committing more fouls and becoming increasingly temperamental, which is unbecoming of a leader. Secondly, Liaoning's frontline capabilities are concerning. Li Xiaoxu and Fu Hao have low…

In this round of the game where Liaoning defeated Beikong 104-101 at home, head coach Yang Ming was extremely dissatisfied after the match. He was furious during post-game interviews and press conferences, using the word "arrogance" twice to severely criticize many players on the Liaoning team. What exactly happened? Let's review what specifically occurred in the last five minutes of the game. Liaoning actually eliminated the suspense early in the game. The two teams were evenly matched in the first half, but Liaoning took control in the third quarter, leading Beikong by as many as 12 points at the end of the third quarter. In the decisive fourth quarter, both teams experienced varying degrees of offensive struggles. However, Beikong dug a bigger hole for themselves in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, they allowed Liaoning to go on a 16-10 run, increasing the deficit to as much as 18 points. Usually, at this point in the game, Liaoning just needed to play out the clock, and the suspense would be gone. However, in the last five minutes, Liaoning dug an even bigger hole for themselves, causing Yang Ming and the home fans to almost break out in cold sweat, nearly stealing the headlines from Xinjiang's upset loss to Fujian. With 4 minutes and 53 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Zhao Jiwei scored 2 points with a layup. In the following nearly five minutes, Liaoning failed to score a single point, allowing Beikong to go on a 15-0 run. It was only because Salinger missed a three-pointer with…

In the 29th round of the CBA regular season, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team narrowly defeated Beikong Men's Basketball Team at home with a score of 104-101. Originally, this game was not supposed to be suspenseful. In the third quarter, Ferg almost single-handedly helped the team gain a huge lead with a performance of 24 points in a single quarter. In the fourth quarter, there were no major issues for the first 7 minutes or so. However, a situation arose that made Yang Ming furious, as the score remained at 104, and Liaoning Men's Basketball Team failed to score any points in nearly 5 minutes, making several unreasonable ball handling decisions. Beikong Men's Basketball Team took advantage of this opportunity to reduce the score difference to only 3 points and still had possession of the ball. The game ended when Salinge missed the equalizing three-pointer. After the game, Yang Ming expressed his dissatisfaction during an interview, stating that the content of the last part of the game needs to be carefully reviewed and summarized. He emphasized that the game should not have ended in such a manner. Although the team's current lineup is strong, their performance is not as good as it was during more challenging times. He questioned where this arrogance came from and warned that if such a situation occurs in the playoffs, all the hard work throughout the season would be wasted. Despite winning the game, he was not satisfied. At the subsequent press conference, Yang Ming also expressed his discontent, saying that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team was…

On January 10th, Beijing time, Liaoning crushed Beikong, and Fugue finally had a shocking outburst, feeling the huge pressure of the arrival of the new foreign aid, no longer pretending, laying all cards on the table. The game between Liaoning and Beikong was very interesting because just before the game, Liaoning received a new message that their new foreign aid had arrived in force, and Yang Ming no longer had to complain about the foreign aid not being good enough. This time, the foreign aid's name is James-Weber, and Liaoning didn't even try him out, but signed a guaranteed contract directly. Moreover, Yang Ming also blew up Weber, saying that he would bring great help to the team, so Liaoning's four super foreign aids were successfully assembled. However, this also put a lot of pressure on Fugue, because after all, Weber is also a forward foreign aid, and his scoring ability is very strong. If he comes over, Fugue's ball rights will definitely be affected. Paton is okay because Liaoning has always been short of inside players, and this inside foreign aid is also supposed to alternate with Han Dejun, so there's no problem. Wells has already brought a lot of pressure to Liaoning's meritorious foreign aid Fugue because of his low salary and good performance, but he can still accept it. However, with the arrival of the new foreign aid, Fugue is under even more pressure. In this game, after being stimulated, Fugue also had a shocking outbreak, scoring 41 points in 33 minutes, more than his playing time,…

On January 10th, Beijing time, it was unprecedented to see Yang Ming's sullen face after winning, as if he had lost. He directly criticized the team on the spot, which was really anger. The match between Liaoning and Beikong was extremely dramatic. Liaoning won at home with a narrow victory of 3 points, but in fact, they didn't have to play so dangerously, and the gap didn't have to be so small. In the last 5 minutes of the last quarter, Liaoning played one of the ugliest performances this season, which is why Yang Ming was sullen after the game, even though he won, his expression was as if he had lost. He was really angry and very dissatisfied. Let's first look at what Yang Ming said in the post-match interview. He directly criticized his team on the sidelines, saying that even if they have new foreign aid now, and even if the personnel are complete, everyone must not be arrogant: "I don't know where the arrogance of the players comes from. Although we won the game, I am very dissatisfied." The implication is that they were too arrogant, thinking that they could win steadily and looking down upon their opponents, being too arrogant, and once paid the price for it. During the post-match interview, Yang Ming's face did not show a trace of smile, and his expression was very ugly. Why was this? Let's turn back the clock to when there were still 5 minutes and 30 seconds left. At that time, Zhao Jiwei made a three-pointer, leading 102:84…

As the defending champions, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has seen a significant decline in their dominance this season due to various reasons, failing even to rank in the top four of the league. Looking at their upcoming schedule, I found that Liaoning's schedule is very tight, as they will soon face several formidable opponents, and it remains to be seen how many games they can win. Firstly, Liaoning will face Beijing Enterprises Group (BEG) Men's Basketball Team on January 10th, with the game being broadcast live by CCTV5, indicating its high level of attention. This season, BEG has continued to strengthen their frontcourt, signing big-name foreign players like Salinger and Shen Zijie, making them a force to be reckoned with. Liaoning's frontcourt is already weak, and their new foreign player has only recently joined the team, so this match could be a good test for him. After playing against BEG, Liaoning will meet Qingdao Men's Basketball Team led by Yang Hanshen. Qingdao has performed well this season, with a record of 19 wins and 9 losses, matching Liaoning's record. The team has been in excellent form recently, winning four consecutive victories over Sichuan, Shanxi, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. They have quality young domestic frontcourt players like Yang Hanshen, CBA's strongest second-round pick Wang Ruize, and an average of 29 points per game from their foreign player Weatherspoon. Such a lineup is bound to bring significant pressure to Liaoning's inside and outside lines. In the third game, Liaoning will face Shanghai Men's Basketball Team. Shanghai had a poor first stage performance, ranking…

Fu Hao, the newly crowned 6 million top salary player of Liaoning team, has been performing poorly in the new season. Not only has his accurate mid-to-long-range shooting from last season disappeared, but even his signature hook shots and layups have lost their accuracy, resulting in multiple embarrassing situations where he missed uncontested baskets. As a result, Fu Hao has faced ridicule and doubts from many fans, such as not deserving the top salary, becoming unable to play after receiving it, and dragging down Liaoning team with his poor form. So, what exactly is the problem with Fu Hao? Is it a decline in ability or lack of effort? In fact, neither is the case; the real reason is something else. The main reason for Fu Hao's poor performance this season is his mental state. Fans familiar with Fu Hao know that he trains hard and is disciplined, with no complaints about his attitude towards playing. However, Fu Hao has a flaw: his psychological quality is not strong enough, meaning he doesn't have a "big heart." Looking at Fu Hao's past games, he often performs well when things are going smoothly, but once his hand feels off, especially if the first two shots don't go in, Fu Hao tends to perform worse and worse. Since Fu Hao received the top salary contract from Liaoning team, the pressure has increased. Especially during the early part of the season when Liaoning team was plagued by injuries and the foreign players were underperforming, the expectations from the team and fans on Fu Hao…

On the evening of January 4th, Beijing time, the 26th round of the 2024-25 CBA regular season will see defending champions Liaoning Bensteel travel north to face fellow Northeast team Jilin Jiutai Rural Commercial Bank. Half a month ago, Jilin Men's Basketball managed to defeat Liaoning Men's Basketball with a score of 114 to 102, despite the absence of their core player Er Jiang, under the leadership of foreign players Jones and Kizlink. This time around, Liaoning Men's Basketball suffered a crushing defeat in their last away game against Beijing Shougang, making this an absolutely crucial match that they cannot afford to lose. Just before the game, Liaoning Men's Basketball received some uplifting news from the front lines. According to accurate information, core guard Zhao Jiwei, who has been out for over a month due to injury, is set to make his return in this match. Prior to this, Zhao Jiwei had traveled from Shenyang to Changchun with teammate Huang Qiushi to reunite with the team. After a long period of treatment and recovery, the esophageal inflammation that plagued him has finally been resolved. So far this season, Zhao Jiwei has averaged 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.64 steals per game, making him the team's assist leader and steal leader. In Zhao Jiwei's absence, Yang Ming had to constantly adjust the starting lineup, first using foreign player Fug as the point guard. However, Fug's offensive efficiency declined as he had to juggle both organizing and defensive responsibilities. Later, after much difficulty, new recruit Wang Lanqin's state exploded, and…

On January 8th, Beijing time, Yang Ming's last excuse has completely disappeared. Liaoning's new foreign aid has unleashed their full firepower, outperforming Guangdong's ace player, and there's no longer any need to say that there's no one available. Liaoning Men's Basketball Team won a very important come-from-behind victory against Sichuan, and an intriguing detail from this game was that the top three scorers for Liaoning were all foreigners. Besides Ferg with 31 points and Wells with 18 points, the remaining standout was starting center Patton, who went 7 for 11, scoring 16 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, dishing out 3 assists, and blocking 3 shots. His performance was very versatile, and his efficiency was extremely high. This data shows significant improvements on both offense and defense compared to the first game, and after further defensive coordination, he will only get stronger, even averaging 3 blocks per game is possible. Moreover, Patton also demonstrated great dominance in the paint, even completing an astonishing alley-oop slam dunk with Zhao Jiwei, which shows how impressive Patton can be. Despite Yan Shouqi digging a deep hole and both he and Li Huyi committing six fouls, Patton still held up for Liaoning, providing them with significant help. After this stunning performance by Patton, you have to admit a fact: Yang Ming now has no more excuses to complain, so what else are you complaining about? Just how strong is Patton? He's much better than Guangdong's big foreign aid. Guangdong's ace superstar, their core foreign aid is Morand, but Morand only scored 14 points in this game.…

CBA News! Yang Ming Agrees to Step Down, Du Feng Rebukes Players, Zhao Jiwei Publicly Self-Blames Liaoning lost at home to Zhejiang Guangsha, scoring 88 points, which is the third-lowest single-game score for the team this season. The main difference between the two teams was concentrated in the third quarter, with Guangsha making a 36-14 run that Liaoning could not recover from. It can only be said that Zhejiang Guangsha has indeed been studying Liaoning men's basketball all along, and it can be said that Guangsha's five positions are currently in better form than Liaoning men's basketball. In such a situation, the opponent's shooting was also on fire, making it very difficult for Liaoning men's basketball to win. After this game, Yang Ming was once again pushed to the forefront of public attention because some media questioned Yang Ming and called for him to step down due to tactical issues in the fourth quarter. After the game, Yang Ming also stated that he bears the greatest responsibility for the loss and that he will do his utmost to win the next time they face Guangsha. If Liaoning does not win, he agrees to step down. Now, some fans have expressed that Guangsha is the only team in the league that can fully exploit Liaoning's weakness in not being able to defend mid-range shots, and Guangsha now has two strong mid-range shooters in Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui. Liaoning must solve this issue with Han Dejun; otherwise, they will always be at a disadvantage. They cannot rely on luck forever and…
