Original title: CBA synthesis: Zhejiang, Liaoning, Guangdong wins top three, Fujian double overtime wins Beijing
On the 4th, the ninth round of the regular season of the Chinese Men’s Basketball Professional League (CBA) for the 2021-2022 season started. Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Liaoning, both of which were 7 wins and 1 loss, won easily and firmly ranked the top three in the standings. Fujian beat Beijing 113:111 in the first double overtime of the season.
Due to the premature loss of suspense, the “Big Three” of Zhejiang, Guangdong and Liaoning played in the match, each team began to adapt the lineup in the second half, and the six teams all achieved 12-person rotation.
The most eye-catching young player of the day was Guangdong’s 2m13 inside player Zhang Mingchi, who just turned 19 years old. He made his debut in the CBA arena in Guangdong’s game against Jiangsu on that day, and contributed 16 points to the team’s highest score in his career debut. Guangdong also easily won 97:84 in the case of Yi Jianlian’s truce.
The defending champion will usher in his old rival Beijing in the next round. However, Beijing lost to Fujian when it experienced a double-plus that day. Chen Linjian became the Fujian hero, hitting a key three-pointer at 109:109 in the second overtime, and then hitting a free throw with only 1 second left in the game. Faced with a four-point difference, the Beijing team’s Fan Ziming’s final jumper was of no avail.
After the first eight rounds, the Sichuan team, ranked 15th, caused some trouble for the Zhejiang team, which had already won five consecutive victories. Wu Qian didn’t score a point in the first quarter, and Sichuan relied on Su Ruoyu and Li Honghan to bite the score inside and outside, and the scores of the two sides were stalemate in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Sichuan’s offense was not smooth, and Zhejiang, led by Zhu Xuhang and Wang Yibo, scored a single quarter score of 29:19 and finally won 104:78.
Liaoning succeeded in revenge on that day. In the fourth round of this season, they lacked Guo Ailun and they had been defeated by Shanxi for three consecutive victories. In this campaign, Liaoning has a complete lineup and a 129:97 victory over the opponent. Seven of the team scored in double figures, Zhao Jiwei scored a team-high 19 points, and Han Dejun scored a “double-double” with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
In another game, Jilin beat Shandong 98:83.
The rest of the ninth round will be finished on the 5th. Zhejiang Guangsha, who also had 7 wins and 1 loss in the first eight rounds, will face the Dragon and Lions.
