Beijing Ducks Stun CBA Champs Liaoning in Nail-Biting 106-105 Thriller

In a showdown that had fans clutching their jerseys, the Beijing Ducks snatched a dramatic 106-105 victory over the three-time defending CBA champions Liaoning Flying Leopards! The road win not only shakes up league standings but hands Liaoning a rare third-straight loss—their toughest slump in years.

Liaoning’s Kyle Fogg exploded for a game-high 45 points, including a clutch three-pointer to open the game. But Beijing’s teamwork stole the spotlight: Zeng Fanbo’s game-saving block with 9 seconds left sealed the deal, leaving Liaoning star Fogg just shy of a miracle buzzer-beater.

The fourth quarter became an instant classic: Beijing erased an 8-point deficit with a fierce 9-0 run, while Chen Ying-chun’s three-pointer stretched their lead to 95-87. Though Liaoning clawed back, Fogg’s heroic 45-point effort wasn’t enough to stop the Ducks from soaring to third place.

With this loss, Liaoning drops to sixth—proof that even champions can’t dodge gravity forever. \"Games like this remind us why we love basketball,\" said one fan on Weibo. Could this be the start of a new CBA era?
