In a heart-pounding CBA clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Beijing Ducks secured a 97-89 victory over the Guangzhou Loong Lions on Friday night – thanks to an unexpected hero! Rookie Zhang Penghui, who’d barely seen court time this season, sank a game-changing three-pointer in the final moments 🎯.
The game started strong for Beijing, with Chen Ying-Chun and Omari Spellman raining threes like it was a TikTok challenge 💦. But Guangzhou’s Lindell Wigginton turned the second quarter into his personal highlight reel, dropping 33 points and swinging momentum.
Drama peaked in the fourth quarter when three Beijing starters fouled out 😱. Enter 21-year-old Zhang Penghui – subbed in as a Hail Mary play. With 24 seconds left, he coolly drained a corner three off Zhai Xiaochuan’s assist, cementing his status as Beijing’s newest clutch king 👑.
The win rockets Beijing to third place in the standings, while Zhejiang Golden Bulls’ 81-76 win over Liaoning Flying Leopards shakes up the playoff race. Who said April basketball wasn’t lit? 🔥
