With Beijing and Shanghai's big wins, Guangsha and Guangdong narrowly win! CBA rankings in chaos, the latest points as follows!
Liaoning team lost at home to Guangsha with a score of 88-101, which is a bit disappointing.
The new foreign aid Patton scored 9 points and 7 rebounds in his debut, but it seems that he did not bring too much change.
On the contrary, Guangsha's foreign aid Brown really went crazy, scoring 41 points in a single game. This data directly made him the master of the field, especially in the third quarter, when Guangsha had a 36-14 offensive climax, directly hitting Liaoning team a bit lost.
Although Liaoning team once performed well this season, after this game, their ranking dropped to sixth, having been surpassed by Beijing and Guangdong, these two strong teams.
The key to this game lies in the defensive intensity and explosive power of Guangsha.
It can be said that Wang Bo's defensive arrangement still makes Liaoning team's offense fall into trouble.
Everyone knows that last season's Guangsha relied on its tough defense all the way to the finals, and Wang Bo's double-teaming tactics were tried and tested.
In this game, Liaoning team almost found no way to crack this defense.
And Yang Ming's tactical arrangement also has some problems, especially in the third quarter, Liaoning team was once pulled away by Guangsha for too many points.
From the field, Liaoning team's defense completely failed to keep up with the rhythm, and the offense also seemed stagnant. Zhao Jiwei was in low spirits, scoring only 5 points, and even gave away 5 turnovers.
The biggest problem for Liaoning team is still in the interior, especially Dahan and Fu Hao, who are slow and lack strength.
In previous seasons, Zhang Zhenlin and Morand could make many contributions on the defensive end, but this year, it seems that their defensive pressure has increased, exposing many shortcomings.
During the game, many fans pointed out that Patton is actually a good choice. He can be used more to play inside, reducing the playing time of Dahan and Fu Hao, which may slightly change the situation.
Although Patton's defense is not as good as Morand, his ability on the offensive end is obviously stronger than Dahan and Fu Hao.
Speaking of this game, we can't blame Liaoning team completely.
Guangsha's defense is really well done, and Brown's performance is simply amazing.
Although he is not always so stable, this kind of single-game outbreak directly brought the game to Guangsha's rhythm.
Through this game, Guangsha also successfully won four consecutive victories and continued to firmly occupy the top of the league.
Speaking of other games, Beijing defeated Ningbo 100-89 away from home, which was almost a disaster.
In the game, although Beijing team performed well overall, they still faced a lot of challenges without Zeng Fanbo.
Fortunately, in the fourth quarter, Fang Shuo stood out and scored 16 points, many of which were scored at critical moments, holding the pressure for the team.
To be honest, Ningbo team's performance is still worth affirming, especially Ma Qi, who scored 35 points in a single game, but ultimately failed to lead the team to reverse.
This victory allowed Beijing team to return to fourth place, while Ningbo continued to linger at the bottom of the standings.
In another game, Guangdong team defeated Shenzhen team 91-84. Although Shenzhen team once counterattacked fiercely in the fourth quarter and even tied the score, Xu Jie's final 8-0 offensive completely locked in the victory for Guangdong team.
Jilunwate scored 40 points and 14 rebounds in this game, still the biggest highlight of Guangdong team.
Thompson of Shenzhen team also fought hard, scoring 27 points and 13 rebounds, and Zhou Peng also scored 19 points.
Guangdong team's performance in this game still makes people feel a little tired, after all, Shenzhen team is not a strong team.
As for Shanghai team, they continue to maintain their fiery state, defeating Tianjin 132-108 and winning 13 consecutive victories.
In this game, Lofton proved himself again, scoring a personal CBA career high of 43 points, 18 rebounds and 6 assists, really supporting the entire team's offense by himself.
Although Shanghai team started behind, they quickly overtook and locked in the victory with Lofton's all-round performance.
James and Hamlet of Tianjin team also performed well, contributing 28 points and 14 rebounds respectively, and 35 points, but they still could not resist the strong offensive of Shanghai team.
Through these games, it is not difficult to see that the CBA rankings have appeared in a mess, and the competition between Beijing, Shanghai and Guangsha and other teams is extremely fierce.
Especially Guangsha, relying on Brown's super performance, firmly occupies the top of the league, while Liaoning falls to sixth because of the defensive loopholes in the interior.
And Guangdong team is not invincible. Although they won the game, the ups and downs on the offensive end and the pressure on the defensive end still make them full of uncertainty in the playoffs.
As the season progresses, the competition among the teams will become more and more fierce, and it is really uncertain who can laugh to the end.
