Jilin Team's victory with a score of 116 to 114 was nothing short of a hard-fought battle that ultimately brought an end to their four-game losing streak with a thrilling win.
The game was full of ups and downs, with no one daring to predict the outcome until the very end. The Ningbo men's basketball team was not to be underestimated, especially after their recent big win against Guangzhou.
When the two teams met, it was clear that they were going to fight tooth and nail, with sparks flying on the court. From the start, the game offered no respite for the fans. Both teams played like loaded springs filled with gunpowder, with almost non-stop shooting from beyond the arc.
On Jilin's side, the outside shooting was in full swing, with three-pointers raining down so quickly that the audience could hardly blink. This efficient offense immediately heated up the atmosphere on the court. Especially noteworthy was Jia Hao, who seemed to shoot with magical precision every time he aimed at the basket.
In this quarter, Jilin's offense suddenly went into overdrive, pulling away the score and leading Ningbo by as much as 20 points at one point, creating an overwhelming atmosphere.
With the game not yet over, no one could afford to let their guard down. In the second quarter, Ningbo was like a computer that had been rebooted. The coach made some tactical adjustments, and the players finally stabilized their emotions, gradually finding their rhythm and significantly improving their defense.
As time went on, Ningbo slowly narrowed the gap, leaving only an 11-point difference at halftime, slightly warming up the situation on the court.
The real climax came in the second half. The two teams were almost evenly matched, chasing each other with intense play that left spectators breathless. Ningbo's dual foreign players put on a sharp performance, especially with their full offensive firepower, repeatedly closing the gap.
When the gap was reduced to just 3 points, every move on the court made hearts race. Entering the final quarter, everyone knew this would be the decisive moment.
At this point, Jilin showed remarkable tenacity, with several key attacks helping the team stabilize the situation. Especially Cui Jinming and Jiang Weize, who stood calmly at the free-throw line.
After both free throws went in, the suspense of the entire scene disappeared instantly. Ningbo's counterattack was extinguished at this moment, and the balance of the game tilted as Jilin narrowly defeated their opponents.
This game would not have been complete without mentioning Jia Hao. This free agent, who was struggling to find a team just a month ago, has now become a key player for Jilin.
Jia Hao's efficiency is astonishing, with a shooting percentage that makes people suspect he might be using cheats. In the game, he played for 37 minutes, making 8 out of 9 shots, including 4 out of 4 three-pointers, scoring 20 points.
Most importantly, his three-pointers were incredibly accurate, with each shot giving the team a boost like a shot of adrenaline.
If Jia Hao's performance was the brightest part of the game, then his backstory is equally touching. Just a month ago, he was still wandering in the CBA free market, with no team willing to give him a chance, and even receiving feedback that his skills were not up to par.
At that time, who could have imagined that this once-discarded player would eventually explode in such a way, contributing these crucial 20 points to Jilin and becoming a hero of victory.
Some netizens jokingly said: It seems fate played a joke on him, but now all the fans in the stadium remember his name. Indeed, Jia Hao's comeback has left a deep impression on many – never give up, never compromise, and one day you will get your moment.
More importantly, Jilin's "finding a loophole" operation has really paid off. Looking at Jia Hao's performance now, you wouldn't think he was once an ignored free agent. A fan wrote after the game.
He believes that Jilin should cherish this player even more, especially his precise three-point shooting ability, which is simply a godsend for the team.
This move is not only about finding a treasure but also about securing the future! Another netizen also expressed in the discussion that Jia Hao's shooting ability, especially his calm handling in critical moments, has made him an indispensable member of Jilin.
Looking at the overall trend of the game, Jilin's performance is commendable. Although their early lead was almost wiped out by Ningbo's counterattack, the team's overall cooperation and stable performance from key players ultimately helped them overcome the difficulties.
Especially in the most critical moments, the accuracy of Cui Jinming and Jiang Weize's free throws directly thwarted Ningbo's counterattack.
In the end, Jilin won this hard-earned victory with a score of 116 to 114.
A netizen commented after the game: This game was white-hot, with the last few minutes really getting my heart racing. I didn't expect Jilin to be able to stabilize the situation, while Ningbo seemed a bit anxious. He believes that Jilin's ultimate victory was due to their teamwork and the personal explosions of several players, especially Jia Hao's efficient shooting, which was the key to their success.
This game undoubtedly provided fans with an exciting visual feast and showed how overlooked players can seize their opportunities and achieve glory through their efforts and perseverance.
For Jia Hao, this may just be the beginning of his true journey – from being ignored to becoming the key to victory, the plot twist is so dramatic yet filled with inspiring power.
