The Asian Cup qualifiers are currently underway, and the Chinese men's basketball team previously defeated Guam with a score of 101-53. With two wins and one loss in three matches, it is only a matter of time before they advance to the main event of the Asian Cup. After Guo Shiqiang became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, he has heavily relied on a group of young players, including Zeng Fanbo, Hu Mingxuan, Yang Hanshen, and others, who have not disappointed. Especially Zeng Fanbo, who displayed his extraordinary talent in the game against Guam, effortlessly making three-pointers and dunks, scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block in the game, which is quite puzzling as Zeng Fanbo is not even the core player of Beijing Shougang. Next, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Mongolia, with a very high chance of securing a second consecutive victory. The official announcement from the Chinese men's basketball team also revealed that three players have temporarily withdrawn and returned to their clubs, namely Zou Yuchen, Lu Wenbo, and Liu Li Jia. Guo Shiqiang will lead a squad of 14 players into battle. The lineup for the Chinese men's basketball team against Mongolia is expected to include the following: Guards: Gao Shiyan, Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, Wang Lanqin, Cheng Shaipeng, Xu Jie Forwards: Zhang Ning, Zhu Junlong, Zeng Fanbo, Fu Hao, Du Runwang Centers: Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hanshen, Yu Jiahao The Chinese men's basketball team is expected to field a starting lineup of Liao Sanning, Hu Mingxuan, Zhu Junlong, Zeng…

The NBA has officially announced that Cui Yongxi has signed a two-way contract with the Brooklyn Nets. Following in the footsteps of Sun Yue, the Chinese national basketball team has welcomed another highly talented domestic player, Cui Yongxi, who is not only a source of pride for the Guangzhou Long Lions but also for the entire Chinese men's basketball team. Of course, behind all this, we must thank the Nets' owner, Joe Tsai. While it is undeniable that Joe Tsai has provided significant assistance, Cui Yongxi has also shown great determination and hard work, ultimately becoming a top-level player. This is a mutual choice. It is worth noting that Cui Yongxi revealed that his salary in the CBA was in the millions, and it is also in the millions in the NBA. Choosing the higher stage of the NBA is undoubtedly better. We wish Cui Yongxi all the best in his future career, as he is indeed the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team. In addition to Cui Yongxi, three other guards have also made their mark on the Chinese national team: Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning, and Wang Lanqin. These three players have distinct characteristics, and they all played a significant role in the victory over Juventus. They have all made great contributions. Hu Mingxuan is the final three-point shooter, and finally, someone on the Chinese team dares to take the last shot and can make it to complete the game-winning shot. Isn't this just like the effect of the Chinese team's buzzer-beater against Slovenia back then? Hu Mingxuan…

Why do some young players with obvious talent struggle to get playing time in professional leagues? Coaches often have their "precious gems" as starters, but newcomers on the bench can end up sitting idly or being forgotten after prolonged periods of inactivity. Liu Shuangyu of the Zhejiang Chouzhou men's basketball team seemed to have gained playing opportunities this season through his own efforts, but upon closer inspection, it appears more like an opportunity that was "picked up" from the shadow of injuries. It was only after the unexpected injury of Yu Jiaho that this young center managed to seize the tail of fate and attempt to tear open a stage for himself. But is this a true, long-awaited outburst, or just a brief moment of brilliance due to an accident? At the beginning of the season, for the 19-year-old rookie Liu Shuangyu, the CBA stage was like a "no-touching" barrier - the bench became his territory. This young player may have been full of passion and sweat on the training ground, but when he looked back at the game, head coach Wang Shilong had no intention of giving him a chance. Before Yu Jiaho's injury, Liu Shuangyu spent almost a month in a "practice partner" state, not even getting camera time during garbage time. Then, life turned upside down like a spilled bottle of condiments. The team's mainstay in the paint, Yu Jiaho, suffered an unexpected injury, forcing coach Wang Shilong to recall Liu Shuangyu for emergency help. From a strategic perspective, the team needed a reliable substitute, and Liu…

"Winning three quarters, but losing the whole game in the end!" Zhejiang Chouzhou team experienced a "upset" defeat when facing the second-to-last team in the league, Jiangsu team. It was thought that the first quarter established a 15-point lead, which was a crushing battle without suspense, but who could have expected that they would eventually be overturned by their opponents and suffer three consecutive defeats. The "high start and low finish" of Zhejiang Chouzhou this season seems to have sounded the alarm bell with this defeat. Looking closely at the game, we can't help but find that Chouzhou's defeat is not simply because of the absence of the main players. Physical exhaustion, collapse of the inside line, thin rotation, young players unable to hold key positions... These problems are like icebergs hidden under water, finally surfaced in this game. And the head coach Wang Shilong, once known as the "tactical master" of the domestic coach, also fell into the waves of doubt after this defeat. As the head coach of Zhejiang Chouzhou, Wang Shilong's coaching ability has always been considered one of the top levels in China. Tactical subtlety and stable on-site command are his labels. At the beginning of this season, when the three core players Wu Qian, Cheng Shaipeng, and Yu Jiaho were all on the field, Chouzhou once ranked second in the standings and was even regarded as a hot team challenging Guangsha and competing for the first place in the league. However, this three-game losing streak, especially the loss to Jiangsu team, has caused great doubts…

On January 3 at 19:35, in the 26th round of the 2024/2025 CBA regular season, Beijing BAIC will continue to host Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank at home for a key matchup. During this season's regular season, the two teams will face each other four times, and this is their first encounter. Before the game, Beijing team has a record of 17 wins and 7 losses, accumulating 41 points, ranking 7th; while Zhejiang team has 18 wins and 7 losses, accumulating 43 points, ranking 4th. It can be seen that the two sides are only one win apart, so this is still a crucial battle for positioning. Looking at last season's rankings, Beijing team has made significant progress, while Zhejiang team has remained roughly the same. Last season, the two teams met twice, and Zhejiang team won both home and away against Beijing team (116-79, 112-100). Recently, Beijing team has faced three tough battles in a row, first losing 97-108 to Xinjiang Yili, then beating the defending champion Liaoning Bensteel 105-90 at home. This time against Zhejiang team, they must have set their sights on a winning streak. Zhejiang team, after a strong 10-game winning streak, lost at home by a narrow margin of 3 points (102-105) to Shenzhen Marco Polo in the last round. In this round, they will challenge Beijing team away from home, and they are sure to hope to return to the winning track. In terms of lineup, Beijing team's Zhou Qi finally returned and easily scored 10 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks…
