Although Shanghai ranked only 14th in the regular season last season and failed to make it into the playoffs, after the offseason reinforcement, their overall strength has increased sharply, and they are even considered to have the strength to impact the championship. In this context, this fight with the defending champion Guangdong team has become a game with high gold content, and the two teams can be each other's touchstones.

In this campaign, Shanghai coach Li Chunjiang arranged for foreign aid Franklin to lead the starter, Wang Zhelin, Kelan Baike, Ren Junwei and Liu Zheng to play together; Guangdong coach Du Feng sent Zhou Peng, Zhao Rui, Ren Junfei, Hu Mingxuan and Su Wei to start the game. It can be seen from this that Yi Jianlian still has not participated in the battle. In addition, the twin brothers Ren Junfei and Ren Junwei started at the same time, but they could only fight each other as their masters.
After the game began, Guangdong team Zhou Peng took the lead, and after Wang Zhelin missed 2 free throws, the Shanghai team hit three-pointers in a row by Ren Junwei and Kolan Baike, and played a momentum. Since then, the two teams have entered a fierce stalemate. The players on both sides are very hard, among them, Shanghai foreign aid Franklin has also staged a good play of passing and assisting when he has fallen to the ground. The brothers Ren Junfei and Ren Junwei also staged direct dialogues many times. In the first quarter, Shanghai team trailed Guangdong by 2 points 19-21.

As Franklin hit a long-range three-pointer, they narrowed the gap to one point. Originally, the Shanghai team had the opportunity to take advantage of the chase and equalize, but unfortunately their free throw shooting rate was not high, even if Franklin, who has always been stable, only made 2 of 5 free throws. This makes the Shanghai team always breathe a sigh of relief. In the third quarter, the Shanghai team was still 8 points behind the Guangdong team.
At the end of the quarter, the two sides began a final battle. The Shanghai team is still the same as the first three quarters, the overall combat effectiveness is no problem, but in the key moments to deal with the ball, it is not reasonable enough, lack of experience, so they always see hope and are splashed with a basin of cold water. With Zeng Fanri's 2 free throws and Zhou Peng's second offensive victory, Guangdong led by 15 points at 100-85. At this point, there are 3 minutes left in the game, and the suspense of winning or losing has been basically lost. So far, Zhou Peng has scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists.
