Underdogs Make History with 41-Point Quarter Blitz
The Sichuan Blue Whales roared to their first victory over the Guangdong Southern Tigers in seven years, electrifying home fans with a 104-94 CBA upset that’s got basketball circles buzzing! 🌪️
Sumner Steals the Spotlight
Former NBA guard Edmond Sumner delivered a masterclass, dropping 32 points and 11 rebounds – half coming during Sichuan’s game-changing 41-15 third quarter. The rally flipped a 6-point deficit into a 20-point lead, leaving Guangdong scrambling.
\"He’s rewriting what’s possible for our team,\" coach Han Shuo told CGTN. \"Sumner’s discipline inspires our young roster to level up.\"
Defensive Masterstroke
While Guangdong’s Xu Jie matched Sumner’s 32 points, Sichuan’s lockdown defense limited his attempts when it mattered most. The Tigers’ offense stalled without their star’s firepower ⛔, sealing their second consecutive loss.
This win marks a new chapter for Sichuan – could this be the start of a CBA shakeup? 🤔 Stay tuned for more hoops drama!
