On January 14th, Beijing time, the last six matches of the 30th round of the CBA regular season concluded. This night saw two incredible comebacks and three championship contenders securing big wins to stabilize their rankings. However, Xinjiang, which was in the top four not long ago, became the biggest loser of this round. The first major comeback occurred in the playoff ticket battle between Jilin and Shenzhen. Jilin has been struggling recently due to Jones' absence, resulting in poor team performance and consecutive losses. In this round, Jones finally returned and exploded with 42 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. However, the key figure who decided the outcome of the game was Jiang Weize, who contributed a 3+1 in the final 2.5 seconds to stage a near buzzer-beater. Jiang has been plagued by injuries this season, experiencing a slump for several games and disappearing from the fans' sight for quite some time. In this match, he lived up to expectations, seizing the opportunity in the chaos to deliver the decisive blow, scoring 19 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals. Together with Coach Jones, they led Jilin to a narrow 115-112 victory over Shenzhen, ending their four-game losing streak. This victory for Jilin was also quite thrilling. In the first quarter, Shenzhen came out firing on all cylinders, scoring 46 points and once leading Jilin by as many as 25 points, almost crushing them. However, Jilin showed great resilience; Jones didn't score much in the first quarter but came back strong in the second, exploding for…

This season, the CBA league has increased the turnover of foreign players, allowing teams to register up to 4 foreign players and changing the foreign player rule to 4 quarters with 7 rotations. Teams have started an arms race, introducing capable foreign players, including those who have played in the NBA, European leagues, and development leagues. Up to now, a total of 36 foreign players have been cut, mostly due to unsuitability for their respective teams, and a few due to injuries. The regular season has only completed 30 rounds, with 16 more to go. It is expected that more foreign players will be cut in the future, while new ones will also join. Recently, Jiangsu Kedeya canceled the registration of foreign player Tequiven Smith, and Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu canceled the registration of foreign player Paris Bass. Jiangsu team currently has three foreign players: Jackson, Goodwin, and Thompson. Goodwin is the core of the team, and Smith, who only played 10 games for the team, averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals per game, which are the statistics of a super foreign player. He can score, grab rebounds, assist teammates, and fight for the ball to win offensive opportunities for the team. Jiangsu's record is 5 wins and 25 losses, making it unlikely for them to advance to the playoffs. Yi Li is still focusing on training young players. Tonight, they face the strong Xinjiang team, where their provincial brothers, Tongxi, have already defeated Xinjiang. Let's see how Yi Li deploys his troops and how they will…

In the Zhejiang derby match between Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu and Zhejiang Fangxingdu, Zhejiang Chouzhou performed outstandingly in the first half. It seems that head coach Wang Shilong prepared well for this game, as the players were unified in their strategies and thoughts on both offense and defense. They maintained their offensive characteristics, passing and sharing the ball well. On the other hand, Guangsha's defense was not very targeted, failing to control the opponent's outside shooting. Zhejiang Chouzhou's three-point shooting was impressive, with York and Wang Yibo continuously hitting threes. However, the rotation was limited, mainly with seven players rotating, which would be a test of the main players' stamina in the second half. At the end of the first half, Zhejiang Chouzhou led Zhejiang Guangsha by 10 points with a score of 64-54. In the third quarter, Guangsha started to catch up, while Zhejiang Chouzhou continued with their seven-player rotation. Coach Wang Shilong was really reluctant to substitute his main players. The physical exertion caused Chouzhou to miss shots frequently. York had played the entire three quarters, and Wang Shilong didn't let him rest for even a second. By the end of the third quarter, Zhejiang Chouzhou only had a two-point lead over Guangsha. In the crucial fourth quarter, both teams played fiercely, living up to the name of the Zhejiang derby, with both sides fighting to the last bullet. Coach Wang Shilong of Chouzhou insisted on using only seven players throughout the game, not trusting the substitutes enough to let them play. In the final moments of the game,…

Zhejiang Guangsha, the only team that has openly declared their championship aspirations for the new season, is now starting to feel like their dreams are becoming a reality. So far this season, all teams that have made it into the top 12, except for Shanghai, have faced Guangsha, but most have ended in defeat or with a record of one win and one loss. This fully demonstrates that the new Zhejiang Guangsha team indeed possesses the strength to once again challenge for the championship title, especially when facing their provincial derby rivals, Zhejiang Chouzhou. In the second quarter, they found themselves trailing by 18 points, but the team remained calm and methodical, ultimately completing a remarkable comeback through defense. Besides the outstanding performance of the small foreign aid, Barry Brown, this feat was closely related to the bold personnel decisions made by head coach Wang Bo. Prior to the game, Zhejiang Chouzhou received unfavorable news as their big foreign aid, Bass, was cut from the registration list announced on the 12th. Whether they were following in the footsteps of Simmons or seeking new foreign aid for the team, it would undoubtedly have some impact. Fortunately, both Yu Jiaho and Cheng Shaipeng, who had been injured, returned to the game. However, while cutting the big foreign aid, Wu Qian remained injured, and Liu Zei, an indispensable power forward for the team, was also unable to play due to injury. This had a certain impact on Zhejiang Chouzhou's rotation, and even more unexpectedly, they managed to lead by as many as 16…

Looking at the rankings, the top 8 in the CBA basically follows a 1+8 select 7 structure. The "1" refers to Guangsha, who not only firmly occupies one of the top 8 spots but is also set to secure a top 4 spot; the "8" refers to the eight teams of Shanxi, Shandong, Liaoning, Xinjiang, Qingdao, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Beijing, among which one team will be excluded from the top 8. Overall, these eight teams have a high probability of making it into the top 8, but…

In the WCBA arena, several exciting matches have taken place. Let's start with Sichuan Women's Basketball Team's game. The match between Sichuan and Zhejiang was a complete blowout from start to finish. In the first quarter, Sichuan gave Zhejiang a harsh "welcome" by scoring an impressive 32 points. They were incredibly fierce! Zhejiang's offense couldn't get going at all, without even a decent counterattack. By halftime, Sichuan had already built a massive 26-point lead, giving the impression that they had secured the victory early on. In the second half, Sichuan continued their dominance, not only maintaining but also gradually expanding their lead. They ultimately won by a staggering 41-point margin, a truly crushing performance. Zhejiang could only cover their faces in defeat. Li Meng scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, but the team's overall performance was lackluster. Only Zhang Min (10 points) and Chen Yijun (11 points) managed to score in double digits, while the rest of the team was virtually invisible. On the other hand, Sichuan had a full team effort, playing with great intensity. Li Meng, Wang Siyu, Han Xu, Xiao Tong, Jia Saiqi, and Zhang Wanglai all contributed, showcasing their formidable collective strength. Some netizens commented: "Sichuan really played too easily in this game; it felt like Zhejiang was just a target for them to shoot at." Compared to other matches, Sichuan's performance was overwhelmingly dominant. Next up is Shanxi Women's Basketball Team's game, which they played away against Shijiazhuang. Shanxi played steadily, although neither team pulled away in the first quarter, with Shanxi leading…

On January 13th, the CBA official website showed that Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu cancelled the registration of foreign player Paris Bass. The four foreign players of Zhejiang men's basketball team are generally good, including Kobe Simmons, Gabriel York, Damian Jones, and Paris Bass, with balanced scoring and no low-level foreign players. Zhejiang's domestic players are also not bad; last season, they ranked third in the standings with a record of 41 wins and 11 losses. This season, affected by injuries, they have been fluctuating between third and eighth place. Zhejiang head coach Wang Shilong has always emphasized offense and teamwork, with the team averaging 113.3 points per game, ranking second in the league, and 27.5 assists per game, ranking third in the league. Paris Bass has had excellent statistics this season, averaging 17.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. He is the second-highest scorer and the top rebounder for the team. His partnership with Yu Jiaho in the frontcourt is highly trusted by Wang Shilong. In the match between Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu and Zhejiang Fangxingdu, Yu Jiaho and Cheng Shaipeng have recovered from their injuries and entered the 12-man roster, while Wu Qian is still recuperating. The Zhejiang derby is highly anticipated, with Wang Shilong and Wang Bo facing off. Guangsha, on the other hand, is well-staffed, and Boban's addition has made their frontline tall and deep. It's unclear why Zhejiang Chouzhou Jinzu would cut Paris Bass, a super foreign player who provides significant help to the team's frontcourt. He recently took leave due to the birth…

Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team is truly in a huge predicament this season. From their ranking to injuries and the departure of foreign aid, it's all become quite disheartening. Take a look at their current league standing; they've dropped to eighth place, with 18 wins and 9 losses in 28 games, which is a "barely acceptable" record. However, the recent three consecutive defeats have caused concern. What's more critical is that the team's main players are being overwhelmed by injuries. Wu Qian, Cheng Shuaipeng, and Yu Jiahao, any one of them can play a crucial role in the game, but the health issues of these three key players have almost pushed Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team to the brink. Injuries are truly the team's nemesis. It feels like every time Wu Qian and Cheng Shuaipeng play, they are the driving force of Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team. Now that they're absent, the team seems to lack its soul. Speaking of foreign aid, Kobe Simmons' departure is even more astonishing. This guy played a total of 17 games this season, averaging 28 minutes per game. Although his performance did not reach an "explosive" level, his average of 17.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.5 assists is still commendable. However, he failed to bring significant change to Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team. With a shooting percentage of 43.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.1%, he could still make 1.8 three-pointers per game, which seems somewhat "reliable." The team decided to release him, leaving Simmons somewhat puzzled. Some netizens commented, "Although Simmons has good statistics, he hasn't…

On January 13, 2025, the CBA court was full of changes, with several games not only bringing exciting confrontations but also significantly altering the standings. Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team suffered a home defeat against Guangsha, despite once leading but being reversed in the final quarter; while Shanxi Men's Basketball Team achieved a big away victory over Ningbo, continuing their momentum and successfully advancing to second place in the standings. In the match between Zhejiang and Guangsha, Zhejiang engaged in an intense battle with Guangsha. In the early stages of the game, Zhejiang quickly established a lead with their excellent form. Especially in the first quarter, Wang Yibo's crucial 2+1 helped Zhejiang lead 21-13, firmly controlling the rhythm. Throughout the game, Zhejiang continued to suppress their opponents, leading by 10 points at halftime. However, Guangsha was not willing to give up easily. After the third quarter began, they gradually found their footing, with their offense and defense becoming increasingly coordinated, especially Sun Minghui's individual performance, which quickly narrowed the gap. Through a wave of scoring, Guangsha reduced the difference to 2 points at the end of the third quarter, increasing the suspense between the two sides. Entering the fourth quarter, Guangsha exerted themselves, completing the final reversal with Sun Minghui's crucial free throws and York's mistakes. Ultimately, Guangsha completed the reversal with a score of 102-98, not only extending their winning streak to seven games but also further consolidating their leading position in the league. This game also made Zhejiang deeply feel the gap in strength, especially in terms of mistakes…

In the 29th round of the CBA event, Beijing Shougang faced off against Zhejiang Chouzhou in an intense match, ultimately losing with a score of 92-106. In this game, Beijing Shougang's offensive performance was disappointing, experiencing what could be described as a "collapse" in their attack. Throughout the game, they only managed to make 5 out of 28 three-point attempts, resulting in a low shooting percentage. On the other hand, Zhejiang Chouzhou's three-point shooting, while not outstanding, was still better than Beijing Shougang's with a record of 9 out of 31.

In terms of steals, Beijing Shougang had none, whereas Zhejiang Chouzhou achieved 2, indicating that Beijing Shougang's performance on both offense and defense was inferior in the first quarter.

In this quarter, Beijing Shougang's shooting improved, making 2 out of 10 three-point attempts and 9 out of 17 two-point attempts. Zhejiang Chouzhou's three-point shooting in this quarter was 3 out of 11, and their two-point shooting was 4 out of 10, which was slightly less efficient than Beijing Shougang's…
