Zhao Jiwei shot 1 for 8, including 1 for 6 from three-point range, scoring 5 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists, with 5 turnovers. Zhao Jiwei's icy touch and lack of form were evident. He performed poorly on both ends of the court in the first half, with poor shooting accuracy on offense and ineffective defense that allowed opponents to score freely. Additionally, he made several mistakes that disrupted the team's offensive rhythm.

Fu Hao shot 3 for 6, including 1 for 2 from three-point range, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist, with a game-low plus-minus of -21. Fu Hao's finishing ability was lacking, as evidenced by his failure to convert an open layup after receiving two brilliant passes from the new recruit. Zhao Jiwei's well-placed pass also went to waste as Fu Hao missed a layup using his preferred hand [crying].
-
Wells shot 9 for 19, scoring 21 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. Despite being unable to carry the team alone, Wells continuously scored in the first half to help stop the bleeding. However, his offensive efficiency dropped after Guangsha intensified their defense in the second half. Overall, he was one of Liaoning's better performers!

Li Xiaoxu shot 6 for 11, including 0 for 3 from three-point range, scoring 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. As a veteran, Li Xiaoxu played well, with a high shooting percentage.

-
Patton played 24 minutes, shooting 4 for 9 and scoring 9 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. Patton played well, but he has yet to fully integrate into the team and still needs to work on his chemistry. He contributed in rebounding and had some impressive mid-range shots!
-

In the second half, he unleashed a barrage, leading the team to a 36-14 run, hitting multiple three-pointers in a single quarter to completely dismantle Liaoning's defense.
