CBA Round 30 was truly spectacular! There were moments of joy and sorrow, with the games so thrilling that they made our hearts race! Two incredible comebacks saw three championship contenders emerge victorious, but unfortunately, Xinjiang Team became the biggest "background board" of this round. What exactly happened?
Let's start with those two stunning comebacks. Jilin versus Shenzhen, where Shenzhen initially dominated with a 25-point lead in the first quarter, looking set for victory. However, Jilin fought back with a "return of the king" spirit, with Jones and Jiang Weize playing as if they were on another level, especially Jiang Weize, who sealed the deal with a 3+1 in the final 2.5 seconds! This was a textbook example of a desperate counterattack! On Shenzhen's side, Zhou Peng's performance in the fourth quarter was somewhat disappointing, as he couldn't hold up when it mattered most, which was truly a pity.
Another nail-biting match was the Zhejiang derby between Guangsha and Zhejiang, which also had us on the edge of our seats. Despite fielding an incomplete lineup, Zhejiang started well and built a significant lead. But Guangsha showed remarkable resilience, with Brown exploding in the third quarter to close the gap, and then securing the win with steady play in the closing moments! This game highlighted Guangsha's advantage in their rotation lineup, while Zhejiang's fatigue at the end demonstrated the impact of squad depth on the game.
Besides these two comebacks, Beijing, Shandong, and Shanxi also achieved impressive victories, which was truly enviable! Beijing's Jerman Omut stood out, leading his team to an easy win; Shandong's defense was outstanding, with 19 steals throughout the game and a frighteningly high three-point shooting percentage; Shanxi unleashed their firepower, with Goodwin leading the charge as they advanced relentlessly.
However, we must also discuss Xinjiang Team, which has been plagued by issues recently. Not only did they suffer two consecutive losses, but Qi Lin was fined due to some off-court factors, which was truly adding insult to injury! However, this team is not without hope; Zhao Rui is about to return from suspension, which is undoubtedly good news for Xinjiang. But it should be noted that these two players have quite a temper, so they need to be careful not to cause trouble in future games.
The current top eight rankings in the CBA are also quite exciting. Guangsha firmly holds the top spot, followed closely by Shanxi and Shandong. Although Zhejiang lost, they still managed to maintain fourth place thanks to their previous record, with Liaoning and Qingdao right behind them. Guangdong's winning streak is gradually closing in on the top six. As for Xinjiang, currently ranked ninth, this is indeed quite a blow.
In summary, this CBA Round 30 was filled with excitement, surprises, and unexpected twists. The teams' strengths are still evenly matched, and the competition for the playoffs will become even more intense! Let's wait and see! Who knows, there might be new surprises in the next round! Whether Xinjiang can adjust their state and escape their difficulties is also something to watch. The CBA stage is truly full of endless excitement! I hope all the teams can show even greater strength and more wonderful performances in the upcoming games! And I look forward to seeing more breathtaking matches!
