Lost by 34 points! Zhao Jiwei is furious! Guangdong team officially misses top four.

WOW, who else~

Simply flawless,Shanghai team crushed the former dynasty team Liaoning men's basketball 114-80 at home, and even won by as much as 34 points without fully exerting themselves......

Zhang Zhenlin showed low offensive desire against his former team, shooting 2 out of 4 attempts for 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists; Fogg, who helped Liaoning win three championships and was the 2024 FMVP, showed no mercy, shooting 10 out of 16 for 31 points plus 7 assists and 3 steals, with a plus/minus of +26.

Shanghai men's basketball team shot 14 out of 29 three-pointers, with a high accuracy of about 48%, using smooth offense to overwhelm the opponent completely.

Liaoning team's stats are as follows:

The team shot 6 out of 24 three-pointers, with a pitifully low accuracy of 25%.

Frankly speaking, the current Liaoning team is far inferior to its past, showing no resistance even against Shanghai team missing Lofoten and "White Side" Whiteside.

This heavy defeat made Liaoning's star player Zhao Jiwei furious; after the game, he posted angrily on social media criticizing the team, as follows:

Actually, looking across the current CBA, it's hard to find a team that can match Shanghai; they are the sole top-tier championship contender this season. Zhang Zhenlin & Fogg & Whiteside, recruited last offseason, have all performed as expected or even exceeded expectations. Years of large-scale investment have finally paid off.

Shanghai's current record is 37 wins and 4 losses, ranking first in the league. Following them are defending champion Guangsha (32-9), Shenzhen (29-12), Beijing (28-13), Guangdong (27-14), Zhejiang (26-15), Qingdao (24-17), Shandong (24-17), Liaoning (22-19), Shanxi (21-20), Ningbo (20-21), and Guangzhou (18-23).

It's particularly noteworthy that Guangdong team has already been confirmed to miss the top four in this season's regular season.The top four teams are Shanghai, Guangsha, Shenzhen, and Beijing.

Thus, Guangdong men's basketball has lost the qualification for first-round playoff bye this year; at least in terms of regular season performance this season, it's greatly disappointing, considering their investment last summer was no less than anyone.
