Eugene German became an instant hero Friday night, sinking a last-second three-pointer to seal the Beijing Ducks' 96-93 victory over the Guangdong Southern Tigers in a Chinese Basketball Association thriller. The win propels Beijing to third place in the standings this season 🚀.
Down 20 points in the second quarter, the Ducks staged a Hollywood-worthy comeback fueled by their bench squad. Zhao Rui dropped 23 points, while German's clutch shooting (including 3/5 from deep) left fans in Dongguan speechless 😱.
The final minutes were pure edge-of-your-seat drama: Guangdong led 90-87 with three minutes left before Beijing's back-to-back triples flipped the script. Even after Edmond Sumner's game-tying three with 15 seconds left, German had the final say 🎯 – draining the winner with 0.5 seconds left to silence the home crowd.
This marks Guangdong's FOURTH last-second home loss this season – a stat that'll keep coaches up at night 😬. Meanwhile, Beijing's 20th win proves they're serious title contenders as playoffs approach.
