Shandong Men's Basketball Team staged a thrilling overtime battle at home, ultimately defeating Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team with a score of 121:118.
The biggest contributor to this game was undoubtedly Gao Shiyan, who not only scored a career-high 43 points but also continuously stepped up for the team in crucial moments to secure victory.
From the beginning of the game, Gao Shiyan displayed an excellent state, scoring 12 points in the first quarter, including 2 out of 3 three-pointers.
Every shot he took made the fans hold their breath, and every goal made the whole stadium boil.
Especially in the fourth quarter, Gao Shiyan seemed to enter an unstoppable mode, scoring 13 points in a single quarter.
The three-pointer he made with 1.3 seconds left was a textbook buzzer-beater that sent the game into overtime.
A netizen commented: Honestly, after watching this game, I am convinced.
Today, Gao Shiyan is simply on fire, with perfect timing for shooting choices and breakthroughs.
Especially that equalizing three-pointer, which he could still steadily hit under tight defense from the opponent, such a big heart is really not something everyone can have.
Looking at his stats, he made 6 out of 9 three-pointers and 11 out of 12 free throws, which is simply explosive efficiency.
This is what a super scoring guard should look like!
Wiggington also played a significant role in this game, scoring 30 points while contributing 3 assists.
His breakthrough ability is particularly strong, and each time he has the ball, he can exert great pressure on the opponent's defense.
The highest +12 plus-minus value throughout the game fully demonstrates his importance on the court.
Chen Peidong's outside shooting was also quite stable, making 4 out of 9 three-pointers to score 14 points.
Although Tao Hanlin and Guo Kai both fouled out with six fouls, their combined total of 14 points and 22 rebounds fully demonstrated their dominance in the paint.
Some netizens commented: The overall cooperation of Shandong Men's Basketball Team is now very well done, especially the rotation defense in key moments is done very well.
Wiggington's joining has brought a new dimension to the team's offense, coupled with Gao Shiyan, such a local guard, the offensive end is almost invincible for the opponents.
Even the rhythm of the bench rotation is well controlled, which is inseparable from the scheduling of head coach Qiu Biao.
On the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team side, although Gaili scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals, the 7 turnovers were indeed a drag.
Foreign aid Chris was in poor form, scoring only 5 points in the entire game, missing all 4 outside shots, which is indeed unsatisfactory.
A netizen analyzed: Shenzhen lost in the details today, especially the state of foreign aid Chris was too poor.
Several defensive rotations in key moments were not well executed, giving Shandong too many open opportunities.
However, it must be said that they were able to drag the game into overtime away from home, which already showed great tenacity.
But in the overtime game against Gao Shiyan, who had a divine touch, they were indeed helpless.
His performance not only inspired his teammates but also boosted the morale of the entire team.
This victory improved Shandong Men's Basketball Team's record to 4 wins and 2 losses, further improving their ranking in the league.
It can be seen from this game that the overall strength of Shandong Men's Basketball Team is steadily improving.
The team has made significant progress in the selection of key players, tactical execution, and on-site adaptability.
Especially the growth of local players has given the team's future full of hope.
Believing in this momentum, Shandong Men's Basketball Team will surely bring more exciting games to the fans.
A netizen summarized: This game is really exciting!
Gao Shiyan's performance is amazing, but what is even more gratifying is the overall improvement in the strength of Shandong Men's Basketball Team.
From the rotation lineup to tactical execution, to on-site performance in critical moments, it reflects the quality of a strong team.
Especially with the support of the home fans, the players played with impressive spirit and energy.
The future of this team is promising, and we hope they can maintain this momentum and create more wonderful games this season.
