Beijing Enterprises Men’s Basketball Team Suffers Third Straight Loss in CBA Regular Season
In a tough matchup last night, the Beijing Enterprises Men’s Basketball Team faced off against the Xinjiang Yilite Team in the 41st round of the 2023-2024 CBA regular season. Despite putting up a strong fight, the Beikong team lost 95-102 in an away game, marking their third consecutive loss in the regular season.
The team’s recent struggles began in a close matchup against the Guangdong team, where they lost in overtime by just 3 points. Undeterred by the defeat, they traveled to Urumqi to take on the second-ranked Xinjiang team. With main center Zou Yuchen sidelined due to injury, center Wang Shaojie stepped up in the starting lineup, showcasing his skills under the basket.
While the North Control team managed to take the lead at halftime, the Xinjiang team regained control in the third quarter through strong rebounding and quick counterattacks. Coach Min Lulei made strategic substitutions, including bringing in big foreign aid Sampson and three-point specialists Liao Sanning, Lin Yanting, and Zhang Fan. This lineup change helped the team secure a narrow lead going into the final quarter.
Despite their efforts, the North Control team once again found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter and ultimately fell short of a comeback victory. With three consecutive losses under their belt, the Beijing Enterprises Men’s Basketball Team will be looking to bounce back in their next game.
