After Shanghai's 102:100 victory over Liaoning, Wang Zhelin said in an interview after the game:
"I'm thrilled, it's the first time in my career that I've been at the top of the table, I'm very happy and I'm very grateful to my team for having the opportunity to play here. My teammates and coaches have helped me a lot.
We played the strongest team in the league tonight, lost almost 20 points in front of us, didn't expect to be able to chase back, our team has been like this for several games this season, very resilient! Our fighting spirit has been brought to the extreme this season. I'm thankful to my teammates for all the fighting on the pitch. I am also going all out, and I feel really happy to go all out with everyone.
I only made one of four free throws in the end, and if I lose the game, then I have to go back and practice the free throws.
Jun Ge (Han Dejun) has not played a game for almost 2 months, and today's comeback has been playing for so long, he is a respectable veteran, so old and so hard, fight until the last moment, salute him!
