In a game in the 27th round of the CBA regular season that ended tonight, the Shanghai Sharks men's basketball team narrowly defeated Qingdao 110:107 and continued to rank second in the league standings with a record of 22 wins and 5 losses.
This game is almost a reproduction of the last round of the Sharks reversing the Zhejiang team. Facing Qingdao, who are 16th in the standings, the Sharks are obviously light on the opponent in the first half, and the defense is lax.
As a result, at the end of halftime, the Sharks trailed by 19 points 41:60.
In the second half, the Sharks finally "woke up", started from the defense, and began to chase points strongly.
In the third quarter, Wang Zhelin made a strong attack under the basket, foreign aid Feng Lai repeatedly hit from the outside, and the Sharks started 12:2, narrowing the point difference to single digits at once; then played a 7:0 for Qingdao team, once equalizing the score. Although the Sharks were still 3 points behind at the end of the quarter, they had already recovered 16 points through the efforts of the first quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Sharks still played the inside twin towers of Wang Zhelin and Von Lai, and finally surpassed the score with 9 minutes left.
Since then, the offensive efficiency of the two sides has been close, and they have played until the last minute, and the Sharks are only 3 points ahead of Qingdao.
In the decisive moment, Wang Zhelin became the key to the shark's final victory. First a 2+1 shot under the basket, followed by a strong hit to contribute 2 points. With this precious 5 points, the Sharks finally filled the "big hole" of 19 points behind and avoided the big cold.
The Sharks scored the highest score in this game with Wang Zhelin, who scored 25 points. Vonle had 24 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks. In addition, Yuan Tangwen delivered 15 assists. The Sharks were able to complete a big comeback, which was also related to the 13 three-point shots in the whole game.
The Next round of the Shanghai Sharks men's basketball team is the strong defending champion Guangdong, which was played at 7:35 pm this Friday. When the two teams met for the first time this season, the Sharks lost 97:112.
The second phase of this season's CBA regular season will also be completed on the same day, and each team will then enter the Spring Festival holiday.
The CBA League originally set aside the second window of the men's basketball World Cup qualifiers for the national team from February 21 to March 1, and the third stage of the CBA, the final stage of the regular season, will restart on March 30. However, due to the fact that according to the latest schedule released by FIBA in early January, the Chinese men's basketball team will not play in this window at the end of February, so the third stage of the regular season now seems very likely to be advanced to the end of February and the beginning of March.
According to the latest news, the CBA League's current plan is to arrange the third phase of the regular season to start between February 27 and March 1, but it will eventually require approval from the higher authorities. In addition, if there is no special reason such as the sudden epidemic, the third stage of the regular season will have two divisions, namely Foshan in Guangdong and Shenyang in Liaoning.
