The 2023-2024 Chinese Men’s Professional Basketball League (CBA) playoffs continued on the 26th. The Shanghai team was in great form at home, overturning the Zhejiang team, one of the favorites to win the championship, 112:107, bringing the total score between the two teams to 2:2.

The situation changed suddenly after the second half started. In the final quarter, the point difference between the two sides continued to widen once the Xinjiang team’s advantage expanded to 28 points, and the game was lost in doubt.

Xinjiang team foreign aid Wigginton scored 24 points, Zhao Rui and Qi Lin scored 18 points and 16 points respectively.

Guangzhou’s Barry Brown scored a team-high 22 points, and Chen Yingjun contributed 20 points.

In another game that day, the center of the Shanghai team, Wang Zhelin, performed remarkably, scoring a “double-double” of 31 points and 14 rebounds, 10 of which were offensive rebounds. Bledsoe, the Shanghai team’s foreign aid, also performed well and scored 28 points. Under the leadership of these two players, the Shanghai team led all the way and finally defeated its powerful opponent with a 5-point advantage.

After the Shanghai team won, both sides returned to the same starting line and will compete in the fifth and final game of the series on the 29th as well.
