The five teams with the strongest inside combinations in CBA!

After the offseason lineup reinforcements, the lineups of each CBA team are basically complete. The editor will combine the current lineups of each team to summarize the five teams with the strongest inside strength. As we all know, the inside line in basketball consists of two positions, so the strength of the inside line requires a combination of two players. In the CBA, there are foreign players, but the fourth quarter adopts a single foreign player system, so the two major foreign teams will suffer a lot in the fourth quarter.

But without big foreign aid, it will definitely not be possible to rely solely on domestic insiders, so the team with the strongest insider strength will be unable to do so. It needs to be a combination of a domestic insider and a big foreign aid.

First place: Zhou Qi and Spellman

Team: Beijing BAIC.

Zhou Qi has been the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team in the past ten years. Although he has always been controversial, no one can deny his domestic dominance. Especially under the premise that Yang Hansen joins the NBA, Zhou Qi is definitely the top spot among domestic CBA insider players.

With his wingspan of 2.31 meters, he can easily dunk under the basket. This talent on the defensive end is even more terrifying, with a huge defensive coverage. In Game 6 of last season's finals, Zhou Qi scored 31 points, 10 rebounds and 1 block, and made two three-pointers. The 17 points and 4 rebounds that overwhelmed Guangsha Hu Jinqiu fully proved that he is still the strongest insider in the country.

Spellman is a former Warriors player. He is 2.05 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms. He has very strong confrontation ability. During his time with the Warriors, he averaged stable 7.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. What's even more amazing is that he also has a three-point shooting rate of close to 40%.

The combination of him and Zhou Qi could not find any weaknesses on both offense and defense. It not only protects the frame and protects rebounds in the interior, but also has the ability to score without blind spots.

The inside combination of these two can be said to be ahead of other teams at the fault level.

Second place: Hu Jinqiu and Carlton

Team: Zhejiang Guangsha.

Hu Jinqiu was the regular season MVP last season. He has rich internal offensive methods and stable mid-to-long-range shooting ability. Possessing excellent mobility and good physical confrontation, he performed well in the Men's Basketball Asian Cup in August and was eventually selected to the best team. Especially in the final against Australia, Hu Jinqiu scored 20 points and 10 rebounds. Compared with Zhou Qi, Hu Jinqiu is better at attacking.

Carlton is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms. He has strong strength and excellent confrontation ability. He has strong scoring ability at the basket and a certain ability to compete for rebounds, but his shooting percentage is not stable enough.

Third place: Jiao Boqiao and Salinger

Team: Guangdong Dongguang Sunshine.

Jiao Boqiao is 2.10 meters tall and 24 years old. He is a leader among the younger generation of inside players. He moves quickly and has a three-point shooting rate of about 30%. Last season he averaged 13.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

It's just that he suffered a serious injury and has just returned. His physical condition may become a hidden danger next season. But if he can regain his health, Jiao Boqiao's age will have obvious advantages over Zhou Qi and Hu Jinqiu, who are about to turn 30.

Needless to say, Sullinger, an old CBA acquaintance, still had an overall performance of 18.6 points, 13 rebounds and 4.8 assists last season even though he is 33 years old. He can be called the CBA's largest foreign aid, with no blind spots on both offense and defense.

There are various offensive methods, whether it is steps under the basket, strong attack under confrontation or mid-to-long-range shooting. On the defensive end, he averaged 13 rebounds per game, ranking second in the league last season, second only to Tianjin University's foreign aid James who averaged 14 rebounds per game.

The inside combination between him and Jiao Boqiao is both offensive and defensive, and also has strong mobility.

Fourth place: Morand and Fu Hao

Team: Liaoning Bengang.

Morand is the foreign aid who contributed to the Liaoning men’s basketball team’s three consecutive championships. It was his arrival that ended the Liaoning team’s predicament of winning consecutive runner-up titles. His excellent frame protection and ability to compete for rebounds are top-notch even throughout CBA history.

According to data, Morand played for the Liaoning men's basketball team for three seasons, and the Liaoning team averaged 50 rebounds per game. In the 2023-24 season, the Liaoning team ranks first in the league in rebounding data.

In the 2020-21 season before Morand joined, Liaoning averaged 45.4 rebounds per game, ranking 11th in the league. After Morand moved to Guangdong last season, the Liaoning team averaged 42 rebounds per game, ranking 10th in the league.

Morand's help to the team is obvious, especially his excellent organizational skills. He can form a perfect tacit understanding with Fu Hao, who is good at attacking.

Fu Hao's characteristics are more like a traditional power forward, with rich interior offensive skills and a three-point shooting rate of nearly 30%.

And its weakness of slow footwork on the defensive end can be made up for by Morand. The combination of the two of them, one offense and one defense, just complement each other.

Fifth place: Li Yanzhe and Lawson

Team: Xinjiang Guanghui.

Li Yanzhe is 2.14 meters tall and weighs 130 kilograms. He plays as a traditional center forward and is regarded by many fans as little Han Dejun. His playing style and technical characteristics are indeed somewhat similar to Han Dejun's.

The 25-year-old Li Yanzhe is about to enter the peak of his career. Last season, he averaged 11 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

Lawson is a player with very comprehensive inside offensive skills. His style of play is mature and sophisticated, and he is known as CBA Duncan. In the playoffs last season, he averaged 19.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. The three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41.2%.

You can understand by looking at the data alone that Lawson is a very comprehensive foreign aid and one of the top three foreign aids in the CBA league. The twin towers formed by him and Li Yanzhe can cause headaches for all teams in the league.
