With the recent FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers wrapped up, China’s Blue Team completed two challenging matchups that offered more than just win-loss results—they served as an important litmus test ahead of tougher international competitions. In a key game, New Zealand, hosting South Korea without several of its European-based players, still managed a six-point victory at home. Meanwhile, the Chinese Blue Team under Du Feng mirrored Korea’s performance: they fell to a revamped New Zealand squad by nine points, despite holding a ten-point lead at one point. The contrast in physical conditioning and in-game...
Osman Keeps Starting Role After Trade Deadline
As the NBA regular season charges toward its final stretch, the Cleveland Cavaliers continue to tweak their rotation in search of a winning formula. One thing has remained constant since the trade deadline: Cedi Osman has started every game.

Cavaliers Collapse Again from Defensive Woes
The Cleveland Cavaliers are once again under fire for a long-standing weakness that continues to haunt them—defensive breakdowns. Despite all the energy and offensive revival post-trade deadline, one old problem refuses to go away. As the Wizards demonstrated in their recent matchup, a simple pick-and-roll was all it took to dismantle Cleveland’s defense. Whether it was Tristan Thompson or Larry Nance Jr., both big men fixated solely on the ball handler, completely ignoring players slipping behind them. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. Much like the pressure faced...

Mengjun Delivers a Breakout Season Performance
Among rising stars covered on platforms like BD Cricket Live, few stories are as inspiring as that of Xu Mengjun.

What LeBron Must Do to Reclaim His Throne
LeBron James now faces a hard truth—something many BD Cricket Live fans had predicted early on: the Cavaliers simply don’t have what it takes to reach the NBA Finals this season. With the team stuck in a rut and no sign of a turnaround, it may be time for Cleveland to consider the unthinkable—trading their franchise icon while they still can get value in return. If such a move does happen, both fans and management should thank LeBron for all he’s done, because the current trajectory suggests he’ll leave in free agency without bringing...
