In the journey of the CBA, the trend of Guangdong men's basketball team has always been highly anticipated. As it enters the late second stage, its state shows a warming trend, but the road ahead is still full of thorns. The goal of entering the top 4 in the regular season is like a star hanging high, shining with hope, yet difficult to reach easily. After all, strong opponents surround the third stage, and every game is a tough battle, just like climbers facing steep and dangerous peaks. Among the many factors that restrict the development of Guangdong men's basketball team, the small foreign aid link has always been a difficult-to-make-up shortcoming, as a famous saying goes: "The shortcoming determines capacity." From the beginning of the season until now, the choice of small foreign aid has not been satisfactory. The performances of foreign players such as Barton, Arms, and Rice have not met the team's expectations, one after another falling short. Adding insult to injury, while the small foreign aid performs poorly, the team also suffers from injuries. Hu Mingxuan's shoulder injury undoubtedly adds to the team's difficulties. As a result, the team's hopes seem to be placed on Xu Jie alone. However, Xu Jie, with his superhuman perseverance and strength, shoulders this heavy burden. He is like a brilliant star, shining on the court with his foreign-level performance, leading the team through difficulties and achieving an impressive record of seven consecutive victories, also raising the team's ranking to eighth in the CBA standings. But we must know that Xu…

The Guangdong men's basketball team has returned to its winning ways in the second stage with the return of Bazley. If Zhu Fangyu had not rashly cut Little B after the first 10 games, perhaps the team would not have fallen into such a long period of low performance. Now, with a streak of six consecutive victories, the Guangdong team has stabilized its ranking and also received two pieces of good news, significantly reducing the pressure on Zhu Fangyu. The first piece of good news is that Zhu Fangyu can extend the time for recruitment. Originally, Du Feng and the fans were urging Zhu Ba to quickly sign a small foreign aid to alleviate the pressure on Xu Jie. The foreign aid signed during this period is definitely for firefighting purposes and can only be used short-term, with the need to continue searching later. That's why we've seen two super flops, Armes and Reese, during this time. Guangdong's current ranking has advanced into the top 8, and they are only one win away from second place. In other words, the team has overcome the toughest times. In the next five games, there are two against Guangzhou, and the remaining three opponents are Fujian, Tongxi, and Shanghai. Against these four teams, even without a small foreign aid, the Guangdong men's basketball team can still compete. Winning against Guangzhou, Fujian, and Tongxi should not be a problem. As for the rising Shanghai men's basketball team, Guangdong now has Bazley and Xu Xin, and their interior is no longer afraid of Lofton and…

The competition in the CBA has reached a white-hot stage, and Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has always been a formidable force to be reckoned with. With its deep roots, mature tactics, and many outstanding players, it has long occupied a prominent position in the league. However, competitive sports can be cruel, and as the season progresses, challenges continue to emerge. As the current season advances, Guangdong Men's Basketball Team finds itself facing difficulties in the guard line. The unexpected injury to Hu Mingxuan has created a gap in the team's previously smooth-running guard system. It is clear that in the high-intensity and fast-paced CBA, the guard line is akin to the "brain" and "engine" of the team, playing a crucial role in controlling the rhythm, linking up the offense, and breaking through the defense. To address this, the team management has turned its attention overseas, seeking a small foreign aid who can be immediately useful. However, the results have not been satisfactory, with consecutive signings failing to meet the team's strict tactical requirements, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the arrival of a truly suitable new player. A turning point seems to have arrived quietly. Recently, a major news story has spread rapidly within the basketball circle. Informed media sources reveal that Zhu Fangyu of Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has made an offer to Darrun Russell of the Turkish Super League. This young player, born on May 6, 1998, stands at 180 cm tall, weighs 75 kg, and plays for the Pinar club in the Turkish Super League. As of January 11,…

After watching Guangdong team defeat Shandong in this match, my heart is truly filled with mixed feelings. As an old Guangdong fan, it's hard not to feel concerned seeing Xu Jie averaging 43 minutes of high-intensity playing time this season. However, this game has given me a glimmer of hope. What surprised me most about this game is that Xu Jie finally got to rest during the decisive moments of the fourth quarter! You see, in previous games, he was always on the court for a solid 46 minutes. Who is behind this change? It's Huang Rongqi and Ren Junfei, this new-old partnership. Speaking of Huang Rongqi, this young man is truly a gem. Since joining the Guangdong team, he has been improving in every game, from being a defensive specialist at the beginning to now becoming an all-around guard. The speed of his progress is simply astonishing. Look at him averaging 21 minutes of playing time per game, scoring just slightly less than Du Runwang. With such performance, it's fair to say that Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng have really found a treasure. The way Ren Junfei is used is also quite interesting. Du Feng pairs him with Morland in the fourth quarter, which is a brilliant move. Ren Junfei not only has the ability to "steal" points but also excels in assisting and directing. On the court, he's like a traffic cop, organizing the team's offense in an orderly manner. Did you notice that although Huang Rongqi didn't score in the fourth quarter, he made two breakthroughs to…

Playing Full 48 Minutes! Xu Jie Expresses Discontent Post-game! Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng Can't Wait Any Longer! 15 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, and 3 steals, achieving a triple-double for the first time in his career! After the game, Xu Jie once again appeared at the press conference. From winning his first weekly MVP to his first monthly MVP, and then securing his first triple-double in this game, Xu Jie has been on a roll during the second stage of the season! Perhaps many fans believe that Xu Jie's performance is already perfect, as he stands less than 1.8 meters tall yet can grab rebounds over Shen Zijie, sink ultra-long buzzer-beating three-pointers from two meters beyond the arc, and play full 48 minutes against an opponent's relentless defense! However, Xu Jie is not satisfied with such a performance! At the post-game press conference, he expressed dissatisfaction with both the team's and his own performance. Speaking about the team, he said that they did not perform well in this game, becoming complacent after taking the lead, which ultimately led to being overtaken by the opponent. As for himself, he admitted that he did not handle the ball well enough, making many mistakes, even giving the opponent direct layup opportunities after some simple errors, all of which need to be reviewed on video! From Xu Jie's remarks, it can be seen that his dissatisfaction with his performance stems more from turnovers. Indeed, he had as many as 7 turnovers in this game, but is this really just his problem? Obviously not,…

Guangdong Southern Tigers' New Foreign Player! Standing at Only 180cm, Making His CBA Debut Finally, there's news about Guangdong Southern Tigers' foreign players. According to authoritative domestic media reports, Guangdong Southern Tigers Club has made an offer for foreign player Darrun Russell. Russell stands only 180cm tall, is relatively thin, and weighs only 75kg; fortunately, Russell is quite young, born in 1998. Russell played for Pinar Club in the Turkish Super League this season, participating in 14 games with an average of 16.1 points and 4.7 assists per game, a two-point shooting percentage of 49.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of only 30.2%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81%. From Russell's data, it can be seen that he does not have a strong scoring ability, poor shooting, low three-point shooting percentage, and is mainly a small guard who breaks through. It's difficult for short foreign players to survive in the CBA, such as Felder, and Walters, who was once signed by Guangdong. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, small foreign players will be targeted. Moreover, Russell doesn't even have Walters' scoring ability, especially in terms of three-pointers. Furthermore, Russell has never played in the CBA before, so it can be said that Guangdong Southern Tigers are likely to have signed another subpar player again. What's wrong with Zhu Fangyu's vision? Is Guangdong Southern Tigers Club short on funds? Look at how many foreign players they've signed this season: Barton, Bazley, Jilunwate, Arms, Morland, and now Russell. It is understood that Barton and Morland are not cheap. After all…

Three Updates Ahead of Guangdong's Clash with Beikong: Zou Yuchen Uninjured, Fourth Foreign Player Confirmed, Zhu Fangyu's Sharp Business Acumen On January 12th, Beijing time, the 30th round of the CBA will feature a key match as Guangdong faces off against Beijing Beikong. Guangdong, currently on a five-game winning streak, will return home to host Beikong. The two teams previously met on the 8th of last month, when Guangdong, fresh from an intense game against Jiangsu that saw Hu Mingxuan and Wang Shaojie injured and Du Runwang suspended, surprisingly defeated a full-strength Beikong 105-98 with a depleted lineup. This victory was pivotal in changing the trajectory of Guangdong's season. Following this win, Guangdong has secured 9 victories out of the next 14 games, steadily climbing the rankings to reach the eighth position. Beikong, on the other hand, has only managed 7 wins and 7 losses in their last 14 rounds, recently suffering two consecutive defeats. Their ranking remains stuck at tenth place, with a growing gap of 4 points from the top eight. In this upcoming battle, both Guangdong and Beikong will be without their star point guards; Hu Mingxuan is nursing a shoulder injury, while Liao Sannings ankle injury has worsened to bone marrow edema, with an uncertain return date. Additionally, Zou Yuchen suffered a knee strain in the last game against Liaoning. The good news is that Xu Jie has stepped up to support Guangdong's backcourt, and Beikong's starting shooting guard Zhang Fan has been back for some time. Zou Yuchens injury is not serious, and he is…

Guangdong Hongyuan, a team with a history of being a champion in the CBA, is now moving forward with anxiety and unease. To be honest, when you see Xu Jie gritting his teeth on the court, Hu Mingxuan unable to appear due to injury, and the team struggling to cope with the shortage of small foreign players, you might also ask, "Can Guangdong really hold up?" Behind the seemingly competitive record, there are actually a series of problems: high-load operation of the guard line, lack of manpower on the front line, and even young players who have been abandoned need to step up to the "front line". If these problems continue to worsen, the consequences may not be easy to deal with. Speaking of Guangdong's current guard line, it is simply "a lone fight by one person." After Hu Mingxuan was injured and absent, Xu Jie became the only pillar on this line. Especially in the second stage of the CBA, his average playing time reached 40 minutes. What does this mean? For many players, this is already overloading, let alone a small guard like Xu Jie. But Xu Jie has managed to bear this pressure, fighting game after game, always staying calm and focused, pulling the team out of trouble. For example, on January 6 against Shenzhen, his key performance helped Guangdong catch up and eventually overtake the victory, stabilizing the morale of the team. This kind of performance is admirable. But to be honest, basketball is not just about one person. Relying solely on Xu Jie will only…

Guangdong Men's Basketball Team has had a disappointing season in terms of their foreign guard signings. Despite Zhu Fangyu bringing in three players - Barton, Arms, and Reese - none of them have lived up to expectations, with their performances falling short and ultimately leading to their release from the team. In this context, Xu Jie has become the core of the backcourt, showing noticeable improvement. However, his continuous playing time exceeding 40 minutes per game has taken a toll on his body, resulting in some discomfort. For Guangdong Men's Basketball, signing a new foreign guard has become urgent. Now, there is concrete news on this matter. According to Zhejiang media, Guangdong Men's Basketball has completed the signing of former NBA player Daejon Ely, who will soon join the team. Let's delve into how the news about Guangdong signing Ely came to light. On January 4th, the Timberwolves waived guard Daejon Ely to make room for Newton in their roster. Subsequently, domestic media reported that several CBA teams, including Guangdong Men's Basketball, Zhejiang Men's Basketball, and Qingdao Men's Basketball, expressed strong interest in Daejon Ely, with some even offering him contracts. On January 8th, an informed source revealed that Guangdong Men's Basketball had signed Daejon Ely. This source has been accurate in the past, having previously disclosed information about Guangdong Men's Basketball signing Arms and Zhejiang Men's Basketball signing Simmons, with detailed information provided. Even the fact that Guangdong Men's Basketball outbid Zhejiang Men's Basketball for Arms was revealed by this source. Based on this, it seems that the news…

The defeat on the court was destined to be written into the history of the Guangdong team. At the beginning of the game, the fans were still shouting their support enthusiastically, expecting an exciting victory. However, the situation on the field repeatedly made people hold their breath - the front line collapsed, the defense was full of loopholes, and several key shots seemed to lack momentum. When the final whistle blew, there was silence in the stands, even the most loyal fans who usually shouted the loudest lowered their heads. After the game, Coach Du Feng's expression was complex, with both helplessness and anxiety. It was revealed that the Guangdong team had already contacted foreign aid, and the most concerned name was former NBA No. 1 pick Les. Will his addition change the current slump of the Guangdong team? This news quickly spread among the fan base like wildfire. Some were excited, some were skeptical, but almost everyone was discussing: Can Les really turn around the fate of Guangdong? The name Les makes people's blood boil. He is a player who has left a glorious record in the NBA, with fierce play and good at offensive and defensive transitions, almost the perfect choice for the front line. His highlights are vivid, such precise shooting and rapid breakthroughs are unforgettable. However, what followed was controversy about him. Some say that Les' state has declined in recent years, having missed games due to injury issues, and others mention that his salary requirements may exceed the budget of the Guangdong team. Indeed, Les'…
