Beijing has lost another game, failing to secure a strong victory that was almost within their grasp, suffering a reversal at the hands of the home team, Guangsha, which they should not have allowed and felt very unwilling about. Throughout the match, only three Beijing players - Lei Meng, Zhang Cairen, and Fan Ziming - performed normally, while the other domestic players and foreign players had low efficiency. Among them, two "moocher" players caused the most harm to the team, with the lowest efficiency and the most turnovers, truly ruining the team and squandering the victory that was almost theirs. Despite the absence of two key players, Chen Yingjun and Zeng Fanbo, Beijing played tenaciously with good defense, holding Guangsha to only 17 points in the first quarter and 34 points at halftime, suppressing Guangsha throughout the game and leading by as many as 17 points. However, in the fourth quarter, Beijing could not withstand the counterattack, losing by 14 points in a single quarter, being overtaken by the opponent. Beijing still had a chance for a buzzer-beater at the end, but missed it, ultimately suffering a 17-point comeback defeat. Guangsha did not perform well in this game, scoring low with a low three-point shooting percentage of only 19%, failing to play to their strengths. It can be said that Beijing did not lose to Guangsha, but rather defeated themselves. The two "moocher" players caused the most harm to Beijing. The first is Fang Shuo, who, despite a severe decline in form, continued to receive heavy reliance from Xu Limin,…

On January 1st, Beijing time, on the first day of 2025, the CBA officially crafted the "New Year's Day Battle". Liaoning Ben Gang, who had just achieved four consecutive victories, traveled to the away court to face Beijing Shougang Men's Basketball Team, which emerged this season. It is worth mentioning that on the journey of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team to win three consecutive championships, they have successfully advanced many times by stepping on the shoulders of Beijing Shougang. However, when the two teams met for the first time this season, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team lost at home by one point to Beijing, and their main player Zhang Zhenlin was accidentally injured after being hit by Fan Ziming in the waist, adding more highlights to this game. Returning to this game, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's newly signed foreign aid, Justin Patton, although he arrived in Beijing with the team yesterday by plane, he could only watch from the sidelines as he had not yet completed the registration process and was unable to play alongside his teammates. With no choice, Yang Ming had to continue to use Fergie and Wells as the double foreign aid, and tried to separate Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu as much as possible to give the two veterans more rest time. Unfortunately, due to the previous high-intensity battles, many players in Liaoning Men's Basketball Team were exhausted, and Li Xiaoxu was repeatedly penalized for fouls on the court, causing him not to get a minute of playing time in the fourth quarter. Han Dejun, who was struggling…

On New Year's Eve, the Beijing-Liaoning match took place at the Beijing home court. In the end, the Beijing team defeated the Liaoning team 105-90, achieving a double kill for the season and also ending Liaoning's four-game winning streak. Although Liaoning's lineup was incomplete, it was not easy for the Beijing team to win this big game. After the game, head coach Xu Limin praised the team, saying, "We have experienced a low point, and it is rare that we performed well in both offense and defense in this game." Xu Limin also singled out two players for praise. He highly praised Zhou Qi's comeback, saying, "Zhou Qi had a very severe cold, but he took the initiative to request to play today, and this spirit inspired the whole team. Zhou Qi is very important to our team, and he has made a great contribution." Xu Limin spoke objectively; last night, Zhou Qi completely restricted Liaoning's local twin towers, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu, on both offense and defense. These two only scored a total of 8 points and 11 rebounds, far from their performance against Guangdong in the previous game. Beijing won last night because of their dominance in the paint; Zhou Qi played 28 minutes, scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds, with 4 steals, the highest plus-minus value in the team, and they won by 30 points when he was on the court. He and Solomon completely dominated Da Han and Li Xiaoxu. As Xu Limin said, Zhou Qi made a huge contribution and was one of the…

Beijing-Liaoning Clash! In the first round, Beijing broke through Liaoning's home court with a narrow one-point victory. This time, back on their own turf, they aim to complete a double kill. Liaoning sent out 11 players, united in spirit, hoping to regain their footing. In the first half, Beijing led Liaoning 50-41 by 9 points! Both sides struggled with their three-point shooting, but Beijing had an advantage in physical fitness and lineup, which allowed them to play with more vigor, dominate rebounds, and create more second-chance opportunities, leading to more shots and thus securing the lead. Liaoning was physically exhausted and had too few players capable of playing at a high level, making them very passive. Fortunately, Ferguson recovered, otherwise the gap would have been even greater. Statistics: Lei Meng 8 points, Zhou Qi 5 points 6 rebounds, Chen Yingjun 8 points 2 assists, Omore 6 points 2 assists, Solomon 4 points 7 rebounds, Zeng Fanbo 4 points 4 rebounds 4 assists, Zhang Cairen 7 points 2 rebounds, Zhai Xiaochuan 4 points; Ferguson 17 points 2 rebounds, Wang Lanqin 3 points 3 rebounds 2 steals, Wells 10 points 2 rebounds 3 assists, Fu Hao 10 points 3 rebounds. In the second half, both sides fought fiercely, with a tight and intense battle. With 4 minutes and 41 seconds remaining, Chen Yingjun sprained his ankle and had to leave the game, with Wang Lanqin suspected of stepping on his foot. Without Chen Yingjun, Beijing's rhythm became disorganized, allowing Liaoning to seize the opportunity and close the gap. Zeng Fanbo made one…

No miracles occurred as the Liaoning men's basketball team, plagued by injuries, suffered a crushing 90-105 defeat to the Beijing team on the road, ending their four-game winning streak. Throughout the match, Liaoning was largely suppressed and had little time in the lead. It was simply too difficult to overcome, as the players' physical energy had been significantly depleted in previous tough matches, coupled with an incomplete lineup. Facing a strong Beijing team with Zhou Qi's return and Zhang Cairen's outburst, the loss was not surprising. Despite the defeat, Liaoning's players fought hard, which is commendable. After the game, there were two pieces of bad news for Liaoning: Firstly, Wang Lanqin and Wells' form has dipped; they were not as heroic as before. If it weren't for Ferguson's recovery, Liaoning would have collapsed in the first half. It is hoped that this is only due to fatigue, and once they return to normal, everything will be fine. If not, it could be troublesome for the team, as the guard line is crucial. Secondly, Liaoning's frontcourt issues were evident, as they were no match against teams with top-tier frontcourt players. They were completely dominated by Zhou Qi alone. Last season, they still had Morand to hold the fort, so the management needs to urgently find a big foreign aid, keep looking, and not stop even after finding one, because there are too many subpar players. However, Liaoning also had some positive outcomes from the game, with two pieces of good news: Firstly, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu received ample rest, playing…
