On January 2, Beijing time, the 25th round of the CBA regular season started, and the Shandong men's basketball team faced the Ningbo men's basketball team at home. Before the game, Shandong ranked 14th and Ningbo ranked 18th, with a difference of 3 wins between the two sides. After 4 quarters of competition, the Shandong team narrowly defeated the Ningbo team 109-103.
Although there is not much difference in rankings and results between the two sides, the mentality is indeed very different. Shandong team, as one of the CBA veteran powerhouses, is unacceptable in any case, although the last round of the big victory over Guangzhou, but there is still a gap of two goals from the top 12, there is no way back. The Ningbo team won the sixth victory of the season in the past two rounds against Jiangsu and Sichuan. Although there is little hope for the playoffs, they have improved a lot compared to the previous two years. In this battle, the whole team went north to Shandong, and the whole team went into battle lightly.
In terms of starters, the starting five tigers of the Shandong team were Tao Hanlin, He Siyu, Gillenwater, Zhang Hui, Chen Peidong, Gao Shiyan was absent; Ningbo team sent Qu Honglin, Luo Kaiwen, Duosen, Yuan Zhenliang, Arslan, Ning Hongyu and Wang Junjie were absent, and Ningbo still fought with only foreign aid.
In the first quarter of the game, both sides entered the state relatively quickly, and the shooting rate was optimistic. The game was fast-paced and both teams didn't fall into positions very much, which led to a high scoreline. In the second half of the first quarter, the two sides once exchanged three points, and Shandong led Ningbo 36-35 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Ningbo team felt cold, while the Shandong team blossomed more, and in less than 5 minutes, the Shandong team stretched the score difference to double digits. Luo Kaiwen scored three empty points for the Ningbo team to stop the bleeding, and the two sides were tugging around the gap of about 10 points. At halftime, Shandong led Ningbo 64-53.
In the third quarter, the Ningbo team could have played double foreign aid, but there was only one Dosen in their squad, and even had to face the all-Chinese class when Dosen was resting. However, with Ningbo trailing by as many as 15 points, the top eight broke out outside the three-point line and almost single-handedly pulled the team back from the edge of the cliff. At the end of the third quarter, the Shandong team led the Ningbo team 81-72, and the suspense was still there. In the final quarter, Luo Kaiwen hit the ninth three-pointer of the game, sounded the horn of counterattack, and the Ningbo team once chased only 3 points. However, every time the score difference is narrowed, the Ningbo team is always a breath away. Gillenwater scored a key goal to extinguish the hope of the Ningbo team's counterattack, and finally the Shandong team narrowly defeated the Ningbo team 109-103.

However, according to the progress of the Ningbo team, it is a matter of time before this layer of window paper is pierced.
