After two days of fierce competition, the CBA season has concluded its 23rd round. It is believed that due to it being the weekend, this round saw several intense matchups, with the most attention-grabbing being the match between Liaoning and Xinjiang, who faced each other in last season's finals. Additionally, the game between this season's rising star Shanxi team and the league leaders Guangsha team at home also attracted considerable interest; Shanghai team, currently on a strong upward trend, is believed to have also drawn significant attention in their home game against Beikong. Below, let's review the results of this round and the subsequent points ranking situation. First, let's look at the focus match of this round, the game between Liaoning and Xinjiang teams. In this game, Liaoning took advantage of their home court and unleashed a full offensive in the first quarter. Midway through, Wells scored consecutively, and Liaoning launched a 15-2 run, quickly expanding their lead to over 10 points. Liaoning led 33-21 over Xinjiang by 12 points at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, both sides played evenly, with Liaoning once establishing a 20-point lead.

Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team has finally found its form after a season of ups and downs, securing an impressive 9-game winning streak in their last 10 matches, with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, propelling them to the second position in the league. This strong winning streak not only reasserts their strength but also lays a solid foundation for the upcoming season sprint. How did Zhejiang achieve this? How do they maintain a strong comeback in adversity? Schedule Advantage: Easy Matches Boost Winning Momentum It is undeniable that Zhejiang benefited from a relatively easy schedule during this winning streak. Although they faced some strong teams at the beginning of the season, such as Shanghai, in the recent 10 games, most of their opponents were lower-ranked teams, many of which were plagued by injuries. In these matches, Zhejiang's only loss was a significant defeat against Shanghai, while they managed to win the rest. For instance, teams like Guangzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin, Ningbo, Sichuan, Beikong, Guangdong, and Shenzhen were unable to stop Zhejiang's winning streak. Particularly, Qingdao played without their core foreign player, Weatherspoon, and their main forward, Wang Ruize, due to injuries; Guangdong also struggled with injuries, lacking firepower in crucial moments despite some stunning performances; Beikong had some bright spots but fell far short of expectations this season, currently ranking only 10th. Roster Depth: The Declining Importance of Four Foreign Players and Wu Qian Besides the relatively relaxed schedule, another key factor contributing to Zhejiang's consecutive victories is their excellent roster depth. Zhejiang currently has four foreign players, boasting…

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…

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team has won two consecutive victories against Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team and Zhejiang Guangsha, with both games fiercely contested until the final moments. The key contributor to these victories is undoubtedly the superstar foreign player Diawara. In the game against Shenzhen, it was Diawara who played heroically in the final quarter and overtime, leading the team to victory. In the match against Zhejiang Guangsha, Diawara once again displayed his superstar-level performance, helping the team secure a win with a crucial layup that almost sealed the deal. With the absence of the team's top scorer Goodwin, Diawara has consistently delivered performances befitting an elite player in the league, showcasing Li Chunjiang's keen eye for talent. In the match against Zhejiang Guangsha, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team managed to turn the tide in the final quarter after trailing earlier in the game. They secured victory by capitalizing on crucial offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter. In this game, Diawara played for 41 minutes, scoring 46 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 block, with 18 out of 31 field goals, 2 out of 5 three-pointers, and a perfect 8 out of 8 free throws. Notably, in the game against Shenzhen, Diawara had just scored an impressive 44 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block, followed by another 46+12 super double-double, truly establishing himself as a superstar-level foreign player in the league. Since joining Shanxi Men's Basketball Team this season, Diawara's initial performance was average, impressing fans with his explosive athleticism and strong ball-handling ability. However, as the…

Translation of the article content into English: In the recently concluded CBA regular season, Shanghai managed to secure a 10-game winning streak despite the absence of Liu Zheng and Li Hongquan, defeating Beikong 108-96. Lofton once again displayed his prowess, scoring an impressive 31 points with 11 rebounds and 7 assists, while Blaydes also contributed with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. The duo helped maintain a double-digit lead in the final quarter, ultimately securing the victory. With this win, Shanghai officially surpassed Jilin in the standings, entering the playoff zone. This victory solidifies the top 12 teams in the league, which includes established powerhouses like Guangdong, Liaoning, Xinjiang, Beijing, Guangsha, and Zhejiang, as well as rising contenders such as Shanxi, Shandong, Qingdao, Tongxi, Shanghai, and Beikong. These teams have a significant advantage over the bottom eight in terms of both tactical sophistication and overall player strength, setting the stage for this year's playoffs. Which team will emerge victorious and claim the championship title this season? In my opinion, it boils down to these four teams: Liaoning Men's Basketball Team Currently ranked fifth with a record of 15 wins and 7 losses, defending champion Liaoning has been struggling recently. However, as a three-time champion, they possess a deep foundation. The main reason for their performance dip is injuries, particularly the absence of Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin, who are key players in the team's offensive and defensive lineup. Their absence significantly weakens the team's dominance. Additionally, Wang Lanqin's integration has not been smooth, and there have been issues with…

In the 22nd round of the CBA regular season, Guangsha welcomed Sichuan, Liaoning's nemesis, to their home court. In this match, Guangsha demonstrated their superior strength, overwhelming their opponents with an absolute advantage, leaving Sichuan helpless and ultimately defeating them by a significant margin of 25 points with a score of 108-83. Following this victory, Guangsha secured a strong four-game winning streak, firmly occupying the top spot in the standings. Over the past 12 games, they have won 11. Moreover, when playing at home, Guangsha has achieved an impressive record of 11 wins and 0 losses. Undoubtedly, Guangsha has replaced Liaoning and Guangdong to become the top contender for the championship in the new season. Who can stop them from making a run for the title? Over the past few seasons, Guangsha has been a formidable team in the CBA league, consistently appearing among the top four. However, due to various reasons, Guangsha has not been able to claim the championship trophy. They have reached the finals multiple times but have always fallen short. The unexpected injuries to Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui have forced them to postpone their championship dreams. Before the start of this season, Guangsha declared their intention to challenge for the championship, which many thought was an overstatement. But after one-third of the season, it is clear that Guangsha indeed possesses the capability to compete for the title. In the match against Sichuan, Guangsha completely dominated their opponents. From the outset, the entire Guangsha team was in excellent form, scoring a high 32 points in the…

This game was a complete domination by Guangsha over Sichuan, with a score of 108 to 83! It was an absolute disaster for Sichuan, leaving them with no room for counterattack. Guangsha played with ease while Sichuan was left with frustration and powerlessness. Before the game even started, everyone expected Guangsha to win easily, but no one anticipated such a large margin of victory. The gap was so significant that it left Sichuan with no face. The disparity in strength between the two teams was evident from the start. Guangsha played with incredible speed and intensity, not giving Sichuan any breathing room. They opened up an 11-point lead in the first quarter, making it seem like Sichuan hadn't even entered the game yet, completely disrupting their rhythm. Look at Guangsha's Barry Brown Jr., who is a versatile scorer, assist-maker, and steal artist. He scored 23 points, had 11 assists, and made 8 steals. This performance was truly impressive, leading Guangsha to a decisive victory without any suspense. As for Sun Minghui, everyone knows he is always calm. In the game, he was the pillar of Guangsha. Especially in the second quarter, after hitting a three-pointer, he completed a beautiful 2+1, securing the lead. Sun Minghui is not a high-scoring player, but his ability to control the pace and score in crucial moments always stabilizes the situation for Guangsha. Looking at Sichuan, they had Hunter scoring 22 points and Wang Yunzhang with 13 points, which was commendable, but against Guangsha's offensive onslaught, they were like paper shields. In the third quarter,…

It's really difficult to find suitable foreign players, a common sentiment among the general managers of CBA clubs, who are almost constantly scouting for talent. This is related to the CBA's salary cap regulations, which stipulate that the total cannot exceed $4.5 million. With such a low price, it's certainly challenging to find appropriate foreign players. However, there have been successful cases of finding great value in unexpected places. Below, we'll discuss four foreign players who were very affordable but have performed like superstars. Weatherspoon from Qingdao Men's Basketball averages 27.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage as high as 52%. Weatherspoon was cut after playing only 23 games in Tianjin and had a poor performance last season in Guangsha. Qingdao originally had Powell, but Weatherspoon was a backup option. However, he has proven himself and become a superstar player. Little Barry Brown from Guangsha Men's Basketball averages 25.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, leading Guangsha to the top of the league! Guangsha has struggled to find suitable foreign players, but this season they finally met Brown. Brown previously had a poor performance in Beijing and played for Guangzhou last season. Liaoning Men's Basketball was really in need of foreign players and found Wells! Wells has played for teams like Jiangsu, Guangsha, Qingdao, and Jilin before, being cut multiple times. No one expected him to become a superstar in Liaoning! Currently, he averages 24.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 56% and…
