The Xinjiang Flying Tigers roared into the championship final of the inaugural CBA Club Cup with a high-octane 105-89 win over the Shanxi Loongs in Xi'an! 🌟 Robert Edwards, the team's Lunar New Year signing, dropped 29 points in a standout performance, while Shanxi's Hamidou Diallo—yes, the former NBA dunk champ—lit up the scoreboard with a game-high 35 points. 🏅
The game was a rollercoaster: Xinjiang built an early lead, only for Shanxi to tie it 54-54 by halftime. But a 🔥 *third-quarter masterclass* saw Xinjiang go on a 13-2 run, sealing their path to Saturday's final. Could this be their year? 👀
With *8 teams* battling in single-elimination matches and unique rules like 10-minute quarters and up to 4 overseas players per roster, the Club Cup is shaking up hoops action! 🚨 Next up: Beijing Ducks vs. Shanghai Sharks in Wednesday's semifinal. Who’s ready for more buzzer-beaters? 💥
