In an electrifying CBA showdown, Hu Mingxuan was on fire 🔥, dropping a massive 40 points to propel the Guangdong Southern Tigers to a narrow 118-113 victory over the Qingdao Eagles.
Both teams went head-to-head in a nail-biter on Friday, with neither side willing to back down. The tension was palpable as the game remained neck and neck into the final quarter. Drama unfolded when Wang Shaojie's foul on Yang Hansan led to his sixth foul and ejection, while Guangdong's coach Du Feng picked up a technical foul amid the heated exchange.
With just a single point separating the teams in the last three minutes, Guangdong began to edge ahead. Despite Qingdao's valiant efforts, they fell short by just 5 points, missing out on what would have been their third straight win.
Qingdao's Quinndary Weatherspoon put up an impressive 30 points, while Yang Hansan secured a solid double-double with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Myles Powell also made his mark with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and a whopping 13 assists. But it was Hu Mingxuan's night to shine, as his scoring frenzy was key to snapping Guangdong's losing streak.
With Qingdao's loss, only five teams remain undefeated after three games: the Beijing Ducks, Xinjiang Flying Tigers, Zhejiang Lions, Shanxi Loongs, and Liaoning Flying Leopards. 🏀🔥
Around the league, the Jilin Northeast Tigers roared past the Fujian Sturgeons with a 124-109 win, the Shenzhen Leopards dominated the Jiangsu Dragons 121-100, and the Tianjin Pioneers edged out the Shanghai Sharks in a thrilling 112-110 finish.
This season is already heating up, and if this game is any indication, we're in for some epic basketball battles ahead! Stay tuned, hoops fans! 🎉
