The Zhejiang Golden Bulls roared to a 106-92 victory over the Beijing Ducks in a high-energy Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) clash on Saturday, avenging last week's loss and climbing to No. 5 in the standings! ๐
Despite both teams battling injuriesโmissing stars like Beijing's Zhou Qi and Zhejiang's Wu Qianโthe Golden Bulls' Gabe York stole the spotlight ๐ฅ. York, alongside Damian Jones and Lu Wenbo, ignited a 32-16 first-quarter surge that left Beijing scrambling. Though Fan Ziming and Eugene German briefly rallied the Ducks, Zhejiang's depth proved unstoppable.
๐ A mid-game scoring slump let Beijing tie it at 44-44, but York and Wang Yibo fired back with a 6-0 run to reclaim control by halftime. The second half was all Zhejiang: suffocating defense and balanced offense stretched the lead to 13 points after three quarters. Even late triples from Beijing's Zhai Xiaochuan couldn't stop the Golden Bulls' final 10-0 knockout punch ๐ฅ.
๐ With this win, Zhejiang solidifies its playoff momentum. Will they keep rising? Stay tuned for more CBA action! ๐
