On January 20th, Beijing time, the CBA regular season is still in full swing. A clear battle between the strong and the weak sees two championship teams face off, with Sichuan hosting Shanghai. Before the game, Sichuan had only won 8 games and ranked fourth from the bottom, making it just a matter of time before they were out of playoff contention. They had even lost to the bottom-placed Fujian, seemingly adopting a passive stance. On the other hand, Shanghai had secured their playoff spot with an impressive 16-game winning streak but had recently hit a snag with consecutive losses to Liaoning and Shanxi. This match was undoubtedly crucial for Shanghai as they aimed to continue their northern campaign. After four quarters of play, Shanghai emerged victorious with a resounding 129-87 win over Sichuan. In terms of personnel, Sichuan's core player Samna was absent, leaving only Maric and Hunter as their foreign players, which essentially signaled a strategic withdrawal. However, in the first quarter, Sichuan played tenaciously, with Liu Guanshan scoring a three-pointer at the start, followed by Li Jinxiao adding more firepower. The local players contributed across the board, making it a tough fight against Shanghai. With Hunter's final shot going in, Sichuan trailed by only one point at 26-27. Shanghai began to exert themselves, with Li Hongquan and Wilson hitting back-to-back three-pointers to initially widen the gap. Despite Liu Guanshan's response, Li Tianrong's three-pointer extended the lead to double digits, forcing Sichuan to call a timeout. The two sides then engaged in a tug-of-war around a ten-point margin,…

CBA's competition this season has been fierce, with fans focusing more on top teams like Guangsha, Beijing, and Liaoning. However, there are also young teams that have made significant progress this season. Ningbo, as a newcomer to the CBA, has a less competitive team lineup, which has led to consistently poor results, often ranking at the bottom of the league. However, this season, Ningbo has achieved a notable rise, with an 8-20 record and ranking 15th in the league, significantly better than previous seasons. The team is also expected to set a new record by achieving double-digit wins this season! Sichuan has also made progress! Sichuan's local players are average in strength and lack outstanding young players, resulting in insufficient competitiveness. However, this season, they have shown keen insight in selecting foreign players, signing three strong foreign players: Samna, Hunter, and Maric.

Both Sichuan and Ningbo have made significant strides this season, and it was fortunate that they met in this round, both eager to defeat their opponent and add another victory to their tally!
