In the sixth round of the CBA regular season that ended this afternoon, the Shanghai Sharks men's basketball team defeated Jiangsu 109-94 to achieve their second two-game winning streak of the season.
Although the Sharks eventually won by a 15-point margin, and the opponent's record in the first five rounds was only 1 win and 4 losses, the process of the game was not easy. In particular, the Jiangsu team was very passive on the scene under the "three-point rain" attack in the first and third quarters.
In the first quarter, the Sharks scored 28 points in a single quarter. However, the opponent Jiangsu team is an extraordinary play, shooting 7 of 11 three-pointers, and the shooting rate even exceeds the two-point shot. Jiangsu, which did not have strong scoring ability in the first five rounds, scored 32 points in a single quarter and entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead.
Fortunately, in the second quarter, jiangsu's three-point shot feel dropped significantly, and the sharks reversed the score by relying on Ren Junwei's internal and external blossoms, as well as franklin and Wang Zhelin's high and low positions. The Sharks took the lead in this game for the first time with more than 4 minutes left in the second quarter. With a single-quarter score of 29:20 in the second quarter, the Sharks finally entered the intermission as the leader.
Jiangsu team regained the feel of the three-point shot in the third quarter, plus the inside players also had a good performance, once again taking the lead in the score. Fortunately, Franklin and Wang Zhelin are also very efficient in this section. The two teams scored 28:28 in the single quarter.
In the crucial 4th quarter, jiangsu's "three-point rain" was muted again, and there was no score for more than 2 minutes, and it was beaten by the big sharks to a 7-0. On the Sharks side, Klan Baike, who had not shot in the first three quarters, stepped forward and hit two consecutive three-pointers, stretching the point difference between the two teams to double digits and completely locking in the victory.
In the whole game, when the Sharks were caught in a fight with Jiangsu, the best player was Ren Junwei in the fourth position, who scored the team's highest 20 points, including 3 of 5 three-pointers. Center Wang Zhelin also has good statistics, 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks.
Of course, the most eye-catching in statistics is foreign aid Franklin, with 15 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists, contributing to the first "triple-double" after joining the Sharks. After the previous three games were relatively sluggish, he finally regained his proper state. This is undoubtedly good news for the team's next game against Beijing this Sunday.
It is also worth mentioning that the head coach of the Sharks still insists on training young players in the game. After putting Guo Haowen into the starting list in the last round, he used another young player Li Tianrong in the "First Five Tigers" in the match against Jiangsu.
Lee's performance did not live up to the manager's trust, and in the nearly 29 minutes of playing, he scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.
In the first six rounds of the season that have ended, the Shanghai Sharks men's basketball team won four games all from teams outside the top ten last season, and the two losses were lost to the two strong teams of Beijing and Guangdong.
Therefore, this Sunday's second regular season match with Beijing will once again test the real strength of the Sharks, who have run into 6 games in the official game.
