Zhang Ning's Struggle in CBA: A Negative Example and Targeted by Referees On January 3rd, Beijing time, after being criticized by the CBA referees in a meeting, Zhang Ning seemed to have lost his defensive edge. He committed four fouls throughout the game, with none in the first 45 minutes and all four in the last three minutes, leaving him unable to stop any opponent. This match was of great concern as Shanxi, a strong contender for the championship this season, faced a formidable Qingdao team. More importantly, Zhang Ning, the core player and tough guy of Shanxi, had just been officially named and criticized by the CBA referees during their meeting. The referees specifically pointed out Zhang Ning's situation, stating that some of his actions were too aggressive, appearing energetic but actually quite dirty, easily harming opponents. Therefore, they criticized him for having too many minor actions. Zhang Ning has become a negative example and typical case in the CBA, with referees expected to scrutinize his actions more closely, keeping a tight watch on him, and the camera always focused on him. After learning about this, Zhang Ning responded with bravado, saying that being under close attention is a good thing as it allows them to find ways to win games and earn respect, as well as to improve his own defense continuously. However, despite his words, it was evident in the game that Zhang Ning was no longer daring to make moves defensively, leading to him being unable to stop his opponents directly. Previously, he played with great…

According to the team reporter Guan Xin, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team will no longer give Les the opportunity to play due to his professional attitude. Les will automatically leave the team after the one-month contract expires. It is said that the signing of Les itself was quite strange. After about 10 days of trial training, it was only announced in a covert manner. It was originally thought that Les could share about 10 minutes of playing time with Xu Jie, but it turned out that until he was abandoned, Les' total playing time did not exceed 5 minutes, and he didn't even break a sweat. This may also be the main reason for Les' emotional outburst. After traveling a long distance to find foreign aid, no matter how much the salary is, they should at least be given around a quarter of playing time to determine if they are suitable for playing in the CBA through actual combat. It is quite rare for a foreign aid like Les to only play for more than two minutes per game and then be deemed unsuitable. If the trial training could reveal the true quality, then why sign them? Is a monthly salary of $10,000 not money? It is reported that Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has quoted a price for the 1.97-meter forward Bart. Bart is a scoring machine from NBL Guangxi Weizhuang. Zhu Fangyu's move has been highly recognized by fans. Regardless of whether Bart can produce a chemical reaction with the team, finding such an independent and capable foreign aid is…

The match between Shanxi and Guangsha was indeed a fiery contest. It was not just a regular season game, but also the most intense battle for the top spot in the CBA season. Both sides fought fiercely for the first place, and as the game entered the fourth quarter, the situation became increasingly tense. At this moment, Zhang Ning's foul completely escalated the game, but it also brought a series of controversies and consequences. With more than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Zhang Ning had a violent physical contact with Hu Jinqiu of Guangsha during an offensive play. Zhang Ning's breakthrough layup action immediately pulled down Hu Jinqiu, causing him to lose balance and fall heavily to the ground. The scene made the hearts of the fans at the scene tighten, and everyone could feel the pain of that moment. This action seemed not to be a simple physical confrontation, but rather had a malicious flavor. Hu Jinqiu lay painfully on the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle to pause the game. Everyone was waiting for the referee to give a reasonable decision. The main referee Duan Zhu was obviously shocked by this foul, and he even had to pause to react. At this time, Wang Bo, the head coach of Guangsha, was apparently dissatisfied. He felt that Zhang Ning's action was too obvious and definitely not an unintentional collision. Wang Bo immediately expressed his strong dissatisfaction to the referee, believing that this was an intentional action and should not be let go. Just when everyone…

Translation of the article content into English: In the previous encounter, Shanxi team's main forward Zhang Ning became the focus of attention, but it was in a way that caught everyone's attention. During the game, Zhang Ning made an excessive move during an offensive play, accidentally grabbing his arm and knocking down Hu Jinqiu. Prior to this, Zhang Ning had already received a technical foul for some actions. After reviewing the game footage, the referee unhesitatingly called a flagrant foul on Zhang Ning, which meant he would be directly disqualified and ejected from the game. This decision not only put Zhang Ning himself in a difficult situation but also had a significant impact on Shanxi's game situation. In fact, this is not the first time Zhang Ning has committed a flagrant foul. According to statistics, after being ejected from this game, his number of flagrant fouls has reached seven times. This is quite a dangerous number. According to regulations, when a player accumulates nine flagrant fouls, they will face a severe penalty of a three-game suspension. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to both Zhang Ning personally and the Shanxi team. As an important scorer and frontline core for Shanxi, his absence will directly affect the team's overall strength. For Zhang Ning personally, a suspension not only means missing several encounters but also makes him the target of fan criticism. Looking deeper, the accumulation of Zhang Ning's flagrant fouls also reflects some issues in his game. It may be that his emotional control is not stable or there are deviations…

Although Liaoning played a tough home game against Xinjiang Guanghui, veteran Han Dejun once again played for 32 minutes, which was quite a burden. According to well-known media personality Ha Qiu, Liaoning's new signing, Justin Patton, has arrived in the country. The club will register him immediately after he passes his physical examination. However, due to the need to adjust to the time difference, Justin Patton will not be able to make his debut in the Liaoning-Guangdong match. In the game against Xinjiang Guanghui, two Liaoning players stood out. Besides Wells scoring 50 points, Wang Lanqin also played a crucial role in linking the team together. His key steals and shots helped Liaoning maintain their lead. With Guo Ailun struggling with injuries and finding it difficult to return to his best form, Liaoning chose to bring in the younger Wang Lanqin, which turned out to be a good move. In the absence of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin and without high-quality foreign big men, Liaoning's home game against old rival Guangdong Hongyuan will be a huge test for their rebounding and perimeter defense. Liaoning is well aware of Morand's mobility and rebounding ability inside, so besides returning to Shenyang to receive the championship ring, coach Yang Ming will also make arrangements based on Morand's characteristics. Due to excessive defensive actions in the game against Zhejiang Guangsha, Zhang Ning was ejected for a foul. This was the first time in Zhang Ning's career that he was ejected from a game, and it was also his seventh foul this season. Although Shanxi…

On the night of December 28th, a CBA regular season game concluded with Beijing Men's Basketball Team securing a victory over Nanjing Team at home with a score of 110-109. The team was filled with joy after the win. However, one individual who did not participate in the match due to rest became the focus of media attention during the post-game interview. This person was Zhou Qi, a senior figure in the locker room. Despite being exempt from playing and having unlimited rest rights as the center for Beijing Men's Basketball Team, Zhou Qi appeared in the team's locker room after the game. Looking slightly thinner and still in the process of recovery, Zhou Qi became the main subject of the interview. He stated, "This illness has been quite severe. Although I am no longer feverish, I still need some time to recover." Recently, Zhou Qi has missed five consecutive games due to influenza. Adding to this, he had previously sat out for an extended period at the beginning of the season due to a foot injury. As a result, Zhou Qi has only played in seven regular-season games for Beijing Men's Basketball Team this season. In his average 24.6 minutes on the court, he contributes 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. Zhou Qi's situation is severe, but so is Xiao Long's. Xiao Long, also known as Wells, was severely underestimated! On December 28th, during the late-night battle where Liaoning defeated Xinjiang 115-89 at home, Wells scored 50 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists with 17 out…

The CBA regular season is in full swing, and according to the schedule, on December 30th, the league will welcome the Spring Festival showdown, with Liaoning Men's Basketball Team facing off against Guangdong Men's Basketball Team at home. This match is destined to be a clash of titans, with high levels of interest and attention from fans who will be watching the players' performances and defensive actions on the court. Before the game, three pieces of news have emerged. Firstly, in another recently concluded focus match, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team defeated Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, which was ranked first in the league. As a result, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has risen to second place in the entire league and has become one of the favorites to win the championship this season. Compared to the outcome of the game, fans are more concerned about Zhang Ning's foul actions on the court. It turns out that towards the end of the game, Zhang Ning was called for a flagrant foul during an offensive play under the basket, and he was also expelled from the game due to accumulating 1T1 flagrant fouls. In slow-motion replay, it can be seen that during his shot attempt, Zhang Ning's left arm had pressing and clamping movements, which caused Hu Jinqiu to fall heavily to the ground. The referee believed that this action was intended to injure, so they quickly issued a flagrant foul to Zhang Ning. In this game, Zhang Ning also raised his elbow against Sun Minghui during a fast break, and the referee quickly…

Translation: 107-105, Shanxi men's basketball team defeated the league leader Guangsha team at home, continuing their dark horse characteristics this season. The game was very fierce and close, with both sides fighting until the last moment. In the key moments, it's about the star players, and Diyaluo's performance was better than Sun Minghui's, which is why Shanxi won. However, the biggest topic of this game was Zhang Ning. He received another technical foul and a flagrant foul (accumulating 7 times, first in the league), resulting in his ejection. Although the team won, he himself was criticized by fans and considered to be the next Wang Xiaohui. Let's listen to how media experts evaluate this. Guangdong media: "For Zhang Ning, whether he uses this method to give himself psychological suggestions or just to fight for a breath, it's actually not beneficial for him. He is inherently kind, and playing in this way is actually against his instincts. He must know that doing so is wrong. When he was penalized and sent off, everyone could clearly see his frustration. Body language doesn't lie. Thinking that once his anger is smooth, the pressure will go away. But in fact, doing so can only take away part of the pressure, while the guilt in his subconscious will gradually accumulate, forming new pressure. This pressure will eventually explode one day. It's just a matter of time. Playing basketball is just a game, there's no need to push yourself to such an extent. There are many ways to release pressure, try a different approach, it's still…

Even through the screen, the pain can be felt vividly, and even the toughest man has to be taken down. You need to know this! Zhang Ning received a foul, which is his sixth of the season! As a result, he must serve a one-game suspension and will not be able to participate in the next home game between Shanxi and Shandong. In this game, Zhang Ning (22 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists) once again became the key player! In the final moments, he made a difficult fadeaway jump shot, allowing the team to successfully overtake the score. In the end, Shanxi narrowly defeated the defending champions 95-94, winning the battle between the strong. Zhang Ning is now very important. In the next game, Shanxi will face Shandong, who are ranked fourth in the league, but Zhang Ning cannot play due to suspension, so Shanxi is likely to lose, ending their five-game winning streak. Since the second stage began, Zhang Ning, who returned from the national team, has been playing more and more steadily. During this period, he played 8 games, scoring double digits in 7 of them. Recently, he has been even more impressive, scoring over 20 points in two consecutive games, with opponents being Beijing and Liaoning, both strong teams! This year has been wonderful for him, reaching the peak of his career. I should tell you that this season is Zhang Ning's Class B contract year, and by next summer, he will be eligible for a new top-tier Class D contract. He certainly deserves the top salary!…
