🏀 Zhejiang Golden Bulls Defeat Beijing Ducks 106-92 in CBA Showdown

The Zhejiang Golden Bulls soared to a thrilling 106-92 victory over the Beijing Ducks in Shaoxing, securing their second consecutive win in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). This win was especially sweet as Zhejiang avenged their loss from last week.

Both teams faced challenges with key players sidelined due to injuries, including Zhou Qi and Chen Ying-Chun for Beijing, and Wu Qian and Cheng Shuaipeng for Zhejiang. Despite these setbacks, the game was anything but dull.

From the get-go, Zhejiang's home guard, Gabe York, was on fire 🔥. Teaming up with Damian Jones and Lu Wenbo, they outscored Beijing 32-16 in the first quarter, establishing a strong lead. Although Fan Ziming and Eugene German rallied for Beijing, cutting the deficit to nine points by the end of the first quarter, Zhejiang maintained the upper hand.

During the second quarter, a tense tug-of-war unfolded. Beijing managed a dramatic 10-0 run to tie the game at 44-44. However, Zhejiang's Wang Yibo and York responded with a crucial 6-0 run, pushing their lead to 55-50 as halftime approached.

The second half saw Zhejiang's offense firing on all cylinders. As Beijing struggled with fatigue, they were outscored 29-22 in the third quarter, trailing 84-71. Despite Zhai Xiaochuan and Zhang Cairen hitting triples to keep Beijing in the game, Zhejiang sealed the deal with a final 10-0 run, clinching the win and climbing to the No. 5 spot in the standings.

With this impressive performance, Zhejiang proves they're a force to be reckoned with in the CBA, blending teamwork and star power to dominate the court! 🏆✨
