The Liaoning Flying Leopards delivered a jaw-dropping performance Wednesday, crushing the Fujian Sturgeons 116-76 in Shenyang! 🔥 With a 41-21 first-quarter rampage, Liaoning turned the court into their playground, leaving Fujian scrambling for answers.
Star guard Zhao Jiwei and Marial Shayok teamed up like a basketball Avengers duo, slicing through Fujian's defense 🪓. Even ex-NBA guard Joseph Young couldn’t save the Sturgeons, who trailed by 30 points at halftime. By the third quarter? Pure *garbage time* vibes as both teams let rookies shine.
Liaoning’s Jo Lual-Acuil dropped a slick double-double (17 pts, 12 rebounds), while Yan Shouqi swiped FIVE steals like a pickpocket 🎩. Fujian’s Frank Mason fought hard with 19 points, but zero Chinese players on his squad hit double digits—oof.
Elsewhere in the CBA: Zhejiang Golden Bulls edged Jilin 121-113 despite Dominique Jones’ 46-point masterclass, and Qingdao Eagles survived Shanghai’s 17-point comeback attempt 💪.
