Transfermarkt has officially confirmed that Leonardo, the team's top scorer in the last two seasons, has officially joined Shanghai Port, the reigning champions. As the saying goes, "Some are happy, some are sad." Zhejiang FC really wanted to keep Leonardo, but due to limited operating capital, they were unable to afford his high salary, which is why they had to let him stay on loan for two consecutive seasons. Shanghai Port did not show much excitement about this deal. Initially, the team was only interested in Leonardo, but they did not reach the point of having to sign him. It was only later, after Wu Lei needed surgery and would require some time to recover, and the team struggled to find an ideal forward replacement, that they settled for Leonardo, who is familiar with the Chinese Super League (CSL) and possesses a certain level of ability. With this move, Shanghai Port has assembled the top three scorers from last season's scoring chart: Wu Lei, Leonardo, and Gustavo. However, without the midfield coordination of Oscar and Bargos, it remains to be seen whether the front line's three attacking players can be invincible. Originally, Leonardo's transfer had little to do with Shandong Taishan's strength. It even freed up a foreign player spot for the team, allowing them to receive a transfer fee and providing conditions for the signing of new players. However, fans still could not hide their disappointment and once again targeted the club management. The focus of the doubts mainly centered around "How advanced is Taishan's tactics? How could they…

Last night's performance by Liaoning team was truly spectacular. On the court, they played with passion and intensity, never giving in, leading Zhejiang team twice but being overtaken twice as well, keeping the suspense alive until the final quarter. As Yang Ming put it, the game was played magnificently. There were also many highlights off the court. It is well-known that Liaoning team and Zhejiang team are old rivals. In the playoffs of previous years, the two teams fought fiercely, neither giving way, and conflicts erupted among the fans. Zhejiang fans angrily scolded Liaoning fans, while Liaoning fans also wanted to chase and beat Zhejiang fans. The insult "Northeasterners are poor ghosts" still echoes in our ears. Last night, arguments and verbal conflicts could not be avoided. In the fourth quarter, when Liaoning team's situation became hopeless, it drew huge boos from Zhejiang fans. At this point, Yang Ming couldn't help himself and raised four fingers towards the sky, gesturing towards the fans in mockery and provocation. Yang Ming's four fingers represent four championships, with which he boasts about himself. His body language seems to say: We have four championships, what do you Zhejiang team have? In response, fans jokingly asked: How should Du Feng raise his fingers then? Should all coaches who have won championships use such methods to mock and provoke the opposing fans? Yang Ming appears to lack generosity. I remember in last season's semi-finals, after Yang Ming defeated Guangdong team, he also showed off, boasting shamelessly about Liaoning's strong genes and good spiritual attributes, saying that…

Zhejiang Chouzhou's championship aspirations have once again been hindered by issues with their foreign players, as Simmons opts for indefinite rest. Zhejiang Chouzhou has had the potential to win championships since Liu Weiwei led them to the semi-finals. After his departure, Wang Shilong also brought the team to the finals. However, the team has consistently suffered setbacks due to poor choices in foreign players. Last season, Gali was unable to play in the playoffs due to injury, which was later rumored to be related to salary issues. This season, the team secured four foreign players early: Bass, Jones, York, and Simmons. All four players had good chemistry with the team and performed well. Unexpectedly, Zhejiang Chouzhou used a loophole in the league rules to cut Simmons, who had been performing well, only to re-sign him later. This move backfired, as Simmons has not played for the team since being re-registered. It was initially speculated that his absence might be due to emotional distress, but with Bass also being cut, it became clear that Simmons was indeed affected emotionally and seemed reluctant to play for the team. Zhejiang Chouzhou once reached second place in the league, but recent injuries have led to consecutive losses against Shenzhen, Beijing BAW, and even the bottom-ranked Jiangsu team. The team recently found some confidence after victories over Ningbo and Beijing BAW, but then suffered two more defeats. They were leading in a provincial derby match but were dramatically overtaken by Zhejiang Guangsha, and they also lost away to Shandong. These defeats are somewhat justifiable given…

A focus match in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League second-tier league saw Chinese Super League team Zhejiang FC host Singapore's Lion City Sailors at home. Before the game, Zhejiang FC had only three points with one win and four losses, ranking last in the group. Lion City Sailors, on the other hand, had seven points with two wins, one draw, and one loss, placing them second. In their first-round encounter, Zhejiang FC lost 0:2 to Lion City Sailors away from home. For Zhejiang FC, this game was crucial as only a victory could keep their hopes of qualifying alive; a loss would mean saying goodbye to the AFC Champions League second-tier league. For this match, Zhejiang FC, stationed at the Huanglong Stadium in Hangzhou, lined up in a 4-2 formation. The goalkeeper was Zhao Bo, with the four defenders from left to right being Sun Guowen, Lucas Pozinolo, Wang ?, and Wang Dongsheng. The four midfielders were Gu Bin, Wu Wei, Cheng Jin, and Li Tixiang, with the double forwards being Gao Di and Evra. Substitutes such as Frank, Sun Zheng'ao, Wang Yudong, Liang Nuoheng, and Ousmane were waiting on the bench. After 90 minutes of fierce competition, Zhejiang FC, trailing 0:2, did not give up. They showed a do-or-die attitude, launching a massive offensive at home and fighting tenaciously until the end. They scored four consecutive goals to achieve a thrilling 4:2 comeback victory over Lion City Sailors at home. This victory demonstrated the team's spirit, showcased their style, maintained the reputation of the Chinese Super…

Guangsha triumphs by 4 points in the Zhejiang derby, and upon magnifying the details 10 times, the reasons become clear. Netizens have pointed out incisively that in this game, Zhejiang Chouzhou lost a pity, it was just short of a Wu Qian! This time, Zhejiang men's basketball team was reversed again by Guangsha. At one point, they led Guangsha by more than ten points, wasting York's excellent form. The coach of Chouzhou is really not good enough, there is definitely a gap compared to Wang Bo. Guangsha has made significant progress this season. With this state and strength, it is very likely that they will win the regular season championship, and they are also strong contenders for the playoff championship. Zhejiang Guangsha is indeed quite good, playing collective basketball, everyone has a certain scoring ability, making it difficult for opponents to defend. Now, it is really feared that players will get injured. Jia Hao's action of going up against Sun Minghui is very dangerous. Everyone uses bigger actions against others because they are not whistled for fouls themselves. They all use their bodies to meet when defending breakthroughs. Honestly, who can still afford to get injured now? Is it that Zhejiang has just returned two players and wants to be injured again, or does Guangsha want to repeat the impact of injuries every year? It is completely unnecessary, so I don't understand what the referees are encouraging such confrontations for. Liu Zeyi and Simmons of Chouzhou were injured again, Buss was cut, two foreigners against four foreigners, with only seven…

Leonardo is about to transfer to the Port, and it's rumored that the transfer fee is over one million euros. Taishan fans are not happy. Leonardo's contract with Taishan has only one year left. It is understood that both sides have no intention of renewing the contract, and Taishan does not want to lease him anymore but wants to sell him directly. This year marks the third year of Choi Kang-hee's coaching at Taishan, and we won't mention whether or not the contract will be terminated. He still doesn't like Leonardo. With such strong survival and adaptability skills, Leonardo is not used by Choi, which can only be explained as having a prejudice. It's hard to understand from a professional perspective, and it's not that I'm narrow-minded. Look at the data of Pato introduced by Choi in his second year and the abandoned players of Shenhua. He sets aside many young talents and still chooses veterans. Under Choi's coaching, Taishan seems to have become older again. Little Leonardo has increased his value to 4 million euros. His re-employment in the CSL should only be a matter of annual salary treatment. With one year left on his contract, he needs to be sold at a discount, otherwise, he can contact his next home after half a year, and it will basically be wasted. Therefore, Taishan is eager to sell him. In the past two years, Leonardo should have earned some leasing fees for Taishan, and the transfer fee of 2.07 million euros should have been recovered. Any additional transfer fees would…

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…

In the recently concluded U16 National Three-Ball Championship, two teams were severely penalized for violating the spirit of sportsmanship: Zhejiang team was accused of passive play, while Jilin team had their results annulled due to age fraud. The Chinese Basketball Association announced strict penalties against the involved coaches, including a three-year ban. This incident is like a slap in the face for everyone concerned about youth sports - shouldn't competitive games embody fairness and the spirit of striving? Why has it become a stage for cheating and passivity? This is not just a "crash" during an event; it's more like a mirror reflecting deep-seated issues in the field of youth sports: excessive focus on results, management loopholes, the "failure" of coaches' roles, and the repeated challenges to the fairness of competitions. What appears to be a youth championship actually involves many thought-provoking aspects. The incident itself is not complicated: Zhejiang team, dissatisfied with the tournament arrangements, deliberately underperformed in a crucial match, causing an uproar with players "treading water" on the court. On the other side, Jilin team was reported for age fraud, fielding players who exceeded the actual age limit. After investigation, the Basketball Association imposed severe sanctions on both teams, canceling their results and heavily punishing the involved coaches. Although these two issues seem unrelated, they share a commonality - both lost their way in the pursuit of "results." Zhejiang team's passive play was a response to dissatisfaction with the schedule and refereeing decisions, attempting to express protest through this extreme method. Jilin team's fraud was to compete…

Zhejiang Team Enters Winter Break: Major Roster Overhaul and Strategic Decisions After entering the winter break, Zhejiang Team is not only looking to strengthen its lineup but also to overhaul its existing roster. This includes players who performed averagely last season and are likely to be cleaned out and adjusted by the Zhejiang Club. According to a well-informed sports blogger, there are four disappointed Zhejiang Team players who are highly likely to be cleaned out and adjusted, leaving the team in the new season. These four players are Gu Bin, Wang Dongsheng, Jin Haohang, and Zheng Xuejian. The scale of this cleaning and adjustment is quite drastic. Let's start with Gu Bin, the 33-year-old veteran midfielder who made 11 appearances in the Chinese Super League last season, starting 5 times. Despite limited playing time, he contributed an impressive 1 goal and 2 assists for the team. Technically, Gu Bin is experienced and has his own rhythm in midfield distribution. He can rely on years of accumulated game sense to stabilize possession in key moments and play a role in controlling the team's offensive tempo. However, as age catches up with him, his physical disadvantages become more apparent, with insufficient endurance under high-intensity confrontations. In a tight schedule, he often struggles to maintain high-level performance in the latter stages. Zhejiang Team is letting him go to inject fresh blood into the midfield. Younger players' vitality and drive can bring a faster pace change to the team; on the other hand, it also optimizes the salary structure, investing funds into the cultivation…

Last night's CBA was filled with incredible stories. Two veterans from Shenzhen, a combined age of 73, scored 65 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, and provided 18 assists, setting six records. The 35-year-old Zhou Peng scored 29 points, setting a new season-high in scoring, and has now scored over 20 points in five consecutive games, creating a new career record. His average of 16.7 points per game is also a new career-high, as is his three-point shooting percentage of 46%. Meanwhile, Weems put up a triple-double with 36 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, also setting new season-highs and a new three-year average. But the incredible stories don't end there. Last night, the shortest player on the Beijing team grabbed the most rebounds, even more than the towering figures like Zhou Qi and Solomon, securing four team-firsts, leading the team to victory against Zhejiang and helping secure a two-game winning streak, becoming the biggest contributor and stealing the spotlight from Zhou Qi and other foreign players. Yes, he is the diminutive Jerman, standing at only 1.83 meters tall, the shortest player on the team. Yet, he incredibly grabbed the most rebounds for the team with 7, more than the big men like Zhou Qi, Solomon, and Qiu Tian. In addition to the most rebounds, he also scored 24 points and provided 13 assists, achieving four team-firsts. First, scoring 24 points, the highest on the team; second, grabbing 7 rebounds, the most on the team; third, providing 13 assists, the most on the team; fourth, hitting 4 three-pointers, tied for the most…
