On January 10th, Beijing time, the 29th round of the CBA regular season will feature six matches, with major teams such as Liaoning, Guangdong, Guangsha, Xinjiang, and Shanxi all in action. Among these, the top-of-the-table clash between Guangsha and Shanxi has become the focus of this round. However, it is regrettable that this crucial match between Guangsha and Shanxi did not receive the favor of CCTV. In this round, only one game has been confirmed for broadcast by CCTV Sports Channel, which will be the match between Liaoning and Beikong, to be aired during prime time. The 29th round of matches has been divided into two days, on the 10th and 11th. Compared to the games on the following day, these six matches are undoubtedly more attractive. The most anticipated is undoubtedly the battle between Guangsha and Shanxi. Both teams have had outstanding records this season, with Guangsha at the top with 24 wins and 4 losses, while Shanxi ranks second with 21 wins and 6 losses. This round can also be seen as a battle for the top spot. Whether in terms of entertainment value or the intensity of the competition, this match is the most suspenseful of the round. This season, Guangsha and Shanxi have faced each other once, with Guangsha defeating Shanxi, currently leading the head-to-head record 1-0. This time, Guangsha returns home to face the season's first dark horse. Can they continue their previous magic? It should be noted that Guangsha has not lost at home this season, with a current home record of 15 wins…

On January 9th, Beijing time, the CBA officially announced the second week of All-Star voting. The backcourt players in the South Division have become a focus of attention. In addition to the heated discussion among fans about Hu Mingxuan's approach to Guo Ailun, Xu Jie has also firmly established himself as the top player in the South Division. Perhaps Du Feng's continuous mention of fans voting more for Xu Jie at post-game press conferences has had a certain effect. After all, the Guangdong head coach personally campaigning can exert significant market influence. It is also the only instance so far this season where a head coach has helped his protégé campaign for votes. The top four backcourt players in the South Division are: Xu Jie (496,052), Guo Ailun (407,493), Hu Mingxuan (386,402), Sun Minghui (246,391). For Sun Minghui, he has clearly become the "biggest loser" in this All-Star voting. Compared to Xu Jie's first place in the backcourt, there is a difference of one time, a full 240,000 votes. Guo Ailun and Hu Mingxuan are only about 20,000 votes apart. According to the fact that both are top-tier stars in the CBA, even if they continue to be on the sidelines, they can still receive a large number of fan votes, with 407,493 and 386,402 respectively. Who can lock down the starting position in the third stage will require the final week of voting. Given that both have massive fan bases, a fierce competition is foreseeable. Sun Minghui is quite embarrassed. According to the attendance rate and performance of the…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has won four consecutive victories, narrowing the gap in wins with the top four teams. However, the issue of lacking rotation options for their core guard Xu Jie remains unsolved. Yang Yi, who was promoted to the first team this season, is even shorter than Xu Jie and lacks mid-to-long-range shooting ability, making him ineffective both offensively and defensively. Coach Du Feng tried him out in one game but did not dare to use him again. Other domestic guards on the team either lack the ability to dribble to the front court or are accustomed to playing supporting roles, unable to share the workload of Xu Jie. Therefore, there is an urgent need to introduce a small foreign aid with ball-handling capabilities. According to several authoritative media sources, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has officially offered a 1.93-meter guard, De'Shan Nichols. As a representative of tall point guards, Nichols' ball control and handling skills can definitely meet the requirements of Coach Du Feng. However, he is slightly lacking in shooting ability. Since he only needs to cover the remaining schedule of the second stage, such a short-term contract does not require a significant salary investment. If he can develop good chemistry with the team, he will continue to be signed until the end of the season; otherwise, he is likely to leave after the second stage ends. Zhu Fangyu will look for suitable reinforcements from the NBA's February layoff list. According to news provided by Liaoning media, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's foreign player James Webb III has…

The CBA regular season is entering its final stages, with the second phase reaching its latter half. On January 8th, Beijing time, the 28th round of the regular season concluded with eight matches. Many strong teams, including Liaoning, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Xinjiang, had fruitful results, while the two Beijing teams were the biggest losers of the night. In a low-scoring match that ended 83-79, Guangsha managed to turn around a 17-point deficit and defeat Beijing. They started poorly in the first half, scoring only 34 points, but they remained composed and gradually closed the gap with stable performances from Brown and Hu Jinqiu. Beijing still led by 10 points at the end of the third quarter, but they collapsed in the fourth quarter due to Xu Limin's insistence on using a lineup with one big man and four small players. This led to a four-minute scoring drought for Beijing, allowing Sun Minghui and Carlton to lead Guangsha to a 13-2 run and take the lead. Despite Beijing briefly regaining a five-point advantage, Guangsha had already taken control of the game, with Zhou Qi leading the charge in the paint and securing numerous offensive rebounds. Beijing's main guards, Jieman and Fang Shuo, struggled, with Jieman scoring no points and committing two turnovers in the fourth quarter, while Fang Shuo made a crucial five-second violation on the sideline, effectively ending any hopes of a comeback. The loss dropped Beijing to seventh place in the standings, with their position now precarious as they could be overtaken by Zhejiang and Guangdong. Guangdong, who have…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the 28th round of the CBA regular season kicked off with a series of intense matchups, including top-of-the-table clashes. The games were filled with ups and downs, with teams' scores tightly contested, making for an exciting spectacle for the audience. The outcomes remained uncertain until the final moments, adding to the drama. Let's take a look back at two standout matches! Guangdong's Big Win Over Tianjin: The two teams were evenly matched, with Guangdong playing away. Despite Tianjin not being a powerhouse, Guangdong couldn't afford to let their guard down. Last season, they met three times, with Guangdong failing to secure a victory. This new season, Guangdong was well-prepared. They started with Xu Jie, Huang Rongqi, Du Runwang, Morland, and Gillenwater. Huang Rongqi opened the scoring with a corner three-pointer, which Lin Tingqian of Tianjin quickly responded to with a three of his own. The scores went back and forth, with neither team able to pull away, leading to a seesaw battle. Guangdong had Morland and Gillenwater in the paint but still lost rebounds, giving Tianjin too many second-chance opportunities. Tianjin fought hard for rebounds, and Xu Jie hit a three-pointer. After Zhang Wenyi came off the bench, he struggled to find shooting opportunities, often forcing shots that missed the mark. Defensive lapses allowed Tianjin to overtake the lead from six points down. Guangdong went scoreless for two minutes, and after Xu Jie was subbed off, the team seemed unfamiliar with organizing their offense. The first quarter ended with Guangdong trailing 22-24. In the second…

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,…

CBA Heavyweight Revelation: After Outbidding Beijing, Guangsha Goes All-In for the Championship: Following Boban, They Aim to Sign Another Strong Aid With a record of 23 wins and 4 losses, firmly securing the top spot in the league! Prior to the season, Zhejiang Guangsha had set its sights on winning the championship. The team has been on a roll in the regular season, continuously strengthening its lineup and perfecting its system, steadily advancing towards the goal of the championship. Signing Boban demonstrates the club's foresight. Especially after their defeat by Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, the team realized the shortcomings brought about by the lack of height and toughness in the frontcourt. In the playoffs, potential opponents such as Shanxi Men's Basketball Team, Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, Beijing Men's Basketball Team, and traditional powerhouse Liaoning Men's Basketball Team all have formidable big men in the paint. Therefore, signing Boban was aimed at addressing this potential threat. Using the second half of the season to develop a mature system and also allowing Boban to adapt to the intensity and rhythm of the CBA. However, it was originally thought that after signing Boban, the team's recruitment would come to an end. But unexpectedly, the club still had more moves up its sleeve! According to the latest news, Zhejiang Guangsha is set to sign former CBA scoring ace Nunnally! During the 19-20 season, Nunnally played for Shanghai Men's Basketball Team but only appeared in 12 games. Averaging 33 minutes per game, he could score 22.4 points, grab 5.5 rebounds, and dish out 3.4 assists,…

On January 8th, Beijing time, the game between Guangsha and Beijing was a nail-biter that went down to the wire in the final quarter, with Guangsha ultimately pulling off an incredible comeback, winning 83-79. This game marked the debut of Guangsha's super fourth foreign player, Bojan, who proved his worth by dominating Zhou Qi in the limited time he was on the court. More alarmingly, the authority he displayed may well have been intended for Han Dejun and Guangdong. Bojan Marjanovic became Guangsha's fourth foreign player, and for this match against Beijing, Guangsha specifically arranged his debut, with a very simple reason: to deal with the "Great Demon Lord" Zhou Qi. In his brief playing time of just 7 minutes and 26 seconds, Bojan made an impressive showing, going 2-for-3 from the field for 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 fouls. Despite the short playing time, the 2.26-meter-tall player executed a ferocious dunk right over Zhou Qi. When Guangsha brought Bojan onto the court, Beijing immediately countered by putting Zhou Qi in to face him, setting up an NBA-level matchup, as both players have NBA experience. However, Zhou Qi didn't have much of an advantage against Bojan. On his first possession, Bojan posterized Zhou Qi with a powerful dunk. Zhou Qi had initially intercepted a pass from the opposing team, but the ball was snatched away by Bojan, who then followed up with a one-handed dunk over Zhou Qi, humiliating him. Zhou Qi was left stunned on the spot after being dunked on, taking a while to recover, as he…

The Beijing men's basketball team suffered a disappointing 17-point comeback at the hands of the Guangsha team. The game was a heartbreaker for Beijing, as they had appeared to have the victory in their grasp after three quarters, with both their form and momentum seemingly superior to that of Guangsha. However, the fourth quarter proved to be a disaster, with the team's performance falling apart despite their preference for playing with a single foreign player. Coach Xu Limin's decision to field a lineup consisting of one foreign player and four domestic players, or even an all-Chinese squad, which should have been well-suited to the final quarter, ultimately led to a disappointing outcome. The responsibility for the dramatic reversal lies squarely on the shoulders of head coach Xu Limin, whose tactics have drawn comparisons to those of Xinjiang team coach Liu Wei, leading to him receiving the brunt of criticism post-game. In the post-match press conference, Xu's comments sparked further controversy when he stated: "Firstly, it's somewhat regrettable that we controlled the entire situation today, only to be overtaken in the final quarter. We made some adjustments, but overall, I believe we performed exceptionally well throughout the game. Despite the difficulties of playing away and our current shortage of players, the team put in a great effort and remained united. We achieved a high level of performance in both offense and defense. Today's performance was excellent, and although the result is disappointing, it cannot be denied that we played a very good game and everyone worked very hard." Xu's remarks echo…

79-83, Beijing lost a good opportunity, collapsed in the final quarter after leading by 17 points, unable to defeat Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, missing the chance to end their opponent's 14-game home winning streak. Beijing played almost perfectly in the first three quarters, suppressing the league leaders, but they couldn't maintain their performance with only one foreign player in the final quarter. Guangsha is still formidable, able to turn the tide even when so passive, giving off the taste of champions. Let's hear what media experts have to say after the game. Beijing Media: Guangsha completed an amazing comeback in the final quarter after trailing by 17 points, defeating Beijing and securing a 15-game home winning streak. Guangsha struggled to find their rhythm in the first half due to Boban's integration, which was a period of adjustment pains since his arrival. However, Wang Bo made quick adjustments to the lineup in the fourth quarter, and Guangsha quickly returned to their own rhythm. The combination of Sun Minghui and Carton increased the pace of the game. This is not the best Boban, nor is it the best Guangsha, and it will definitely take time for Boban to integrate, but Guangsha's current strength is more promising. Guangdong Media: It's still the same question, why did Beijing insist on using only one foreign player in the third quarter? It's amazing that this problem remains unsolved. If it's an issue with the foreign players, communicate with them and resolve it early. Always leaving it unresolved is a loss to the team's combat effectiveness. Liaoning…
