Last night, the Beijing Royal Fighters secured a nail-biting 92-89 victory over the Tianjin Pioneers on their home court, marking coach Zhang Qingpeng's second win in the new CBA season. 🎉🏀
The game had drama from start to finish. Both sides traded baskets in a back-and-forth battle, with the Pioneers threatening a late comeback in the fourth quarter. But timely defense and clutch free throws helped the Fighters hold on. 💪⏳
This matchup was extra special as Zhang Qingpeng faced his former team for the first time since taking over Beijing's bench. The coach's strategic adjustments and motivational pep talks clearly paid off. 👏
Now at 2-0, the Royal Fighters are off to a flying start in the 2025-26 CBA season. If they keep this energy up, they could be one of the surprise contenders this year. Stay tuned for more hoops action! 🔥
