The penultimate game of the Shanghai team this season is to challenge the Beijing team away.

Although Shanghai won the visiting Jiangsu team at home in the last game, Shanghai's main rivals also won in the last round, which means that Shanghai must beat Beijing or Tianjin to qualify for the playoffs.

After the introduction of "super foreign aid" Marbury this year, the Beijing team has grown by leaps and bounds, not only playing 13 consecutive wins, but now ranking second in the league, second only to the defending champion Guangdong team.

Now the lineup of the Beijing team has actually become very terrifying, Chen Lei, Li Xuelin, Morris, and Xie Libin, who started last season, have become the team's substitutes, and the combination of Marbury and Morris is the strongest pair of inside and outside the CBA, and Zhu Yanxi, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Ji Zhe have made great progress this season.

However, this time in the away game against Beijing, the Shanghai team is full of confidence, the reason is that after Beijing defeated the Foshan team in the last round, it has secured the second place in the league, and Guangdong has locked the top spot in the league early, so there is no need for Beijing, which has won the second place, to fight with the Shanghai team that vows to rush to the playoffs.

Sure enough, Marbury and Morris, the two strong foreign players of the Beijing team in this game, did not play.

The Beijing team sent an all-Chinese class, Zhu Yanxi, Zhai Xiaochuan, Ji Zhe, Wang Xiaohui and Fang Shuo teamed up.

The Shanghai team, which is at a critical moment in the playoffs, still sent their winning streak: Zhang Zhaoxu, Landry, Zhai Yi, Gao Dazhuang, Yang Kai.

At the beginning of the game, in the cheers of the home fans, Zhu Yanxi, the center of the Beijing team with 2.09 meters, beat the center of the Shanghai team with 2.21 meters Zhang Zhaoxu in the jump ball and took the lead in winning the ball.

Coach Panagio of the Shanghai team on the sidelines frowned, and subconsciously looked at Zeng Wending on the bench, but in the end he reluctantly turned his attention to the court, because if it comes to the playoffs, if Zhang Zhaoxu's point cannot be opened, the Shanghai team will face greater difficulties.

The Beijing team hoisted the ball to Zhai Xiaochuan, who was asking for the ball on the inside, in the first attack.

As soon as "Peng, Peng, Peng" received the pass, Zhai Xiaochuan immediately attacked, and continued to dribble to squeeze the inside, but Landry behind him was in a very good position, and he did not lose to his opponent in terms of strength.

Zhai Xiaochuan suddenly swung his head to the left, and reached out with his left hand holding the ball.

Just as Landry was moving sideways, intending to block his opponent, Zhai Xiaochuan suddenly did the opposite, suddenly turned to the right, and instantly broke through Landry's defense.

"Beautiful, Xiaochuan has made great progress" Gao Dazhuang said secretly, although he is now an opponent, it does not prevent Gao Dazhuang from appreciating this national youth team teammate.

Zhai Xiaochuan stuck Landry with one hand and turned around, and immediately stepped into the basket after getting rid of the defense, and forced him to jump to dunk.

With a "snap", just as Zhai Xiaochuan jumped high and dunked the ball to the basket with both hands, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of Zhai Xiaochuan and fanned the ball out of the bottom line.

"Whew" Zhang Zhaoxu exhaled, it was Zhang Zhaoxu who just gave Zhai Xiaochuan a big hat, although Zhang Zhaoxu's scores, rebounds, and assists have shown a downward trend this season, but the number of blocks has increased slightly.

"Hey, it's a shame," Gao Dazhuang said to Zhai Xiaochuan with a depressed face, and then turned to Zhang Zhaoxu and gave a thumbs up.

"Damn, he's too tall," Zhai Xiaochuan compared his height with Zhang Zhaoxu's and said unwillingly.

"He's our team's main center," Gao Dazhuang replied with a smile.

"Damn, I'm still the main power forward of our team," Zhai Xiaochuan muttered unconvinced.

In the next offense, the Beijing team missed a long-range shot from the periphery, and Zhang Zhaoxu grabbed the defensive rebound.

"Good ball" When Zhang Zhaoxu controlled the basketball, the bench of the Shanghai team made a call sound, and it can be seen that Zhang Zhaoxu seems to be in a particularly good state today.

The Shanghai team attacked, Yang Kai handed the ball to Gao Dazhuang, and it was Wang Xiaohui of the Beijing team who was responsible for marking Gao Dazhuang.

Gao Dazhuang dribbled slowly approaching Wang Xiaohui, and when the two were very close, Gao Dazhuang suddenly sank his shoulders, and the ball slammed into the ground, without any feints, he wanted to use his speed to forcibly flash Wang Xiaohui.

Although Wang Xiaohui immediately posted over and tried to block Gao Dazhuang, Gao Dazhuang still relied on his strong explosive power to forcibly surpass Wang Xiaohui.

As soon as Gao Dazhuang broke through, the entire interior defense of the Beijing team contracted quickly, but Gao Dazhuang resolutely plunged into the crowd and divided the ball in the sandwich of Zhu Yanxi and Zhai Xiaochuan.

"Drink" The tall and strong sudden pass accurately fell into Zhang Zhaoxu's hands, Zhang Zhaoxu shouted, and his body of 2.11 meters suddenly leaned forward and took advantage of the situation to make a basket.

"Brush", Zhang Zhaoxu scored the first point of the game for the Shanghai team.

The players of the "beautiful" and "good ball" Shanghai team immediately surrounded and kept encouraging Zhang Zhaoxu.

Zhang Zhaoxu smiled at Gao Dazhuang, and then turned his head to look at Coach Panagio on the sidelines, but Coach Panagio did not have any special expression.

"I'll do more blocking and dismantling with me later," Gao Dazhuang patted Zhang Zhaoxu's shoulder and said.

The Beijing team immediately hit a three-point shot from the perimeter by Ji Zhe, but the tall and strong immediately came with a free throw, and Landry also scored a dunk in the air.

"Brush" Zhang Zhaoxu received the tall and strong sudden pass again, and hit the basket to wipe the board.

At 34:24, the Shanghai team scored 34 points in the first quarter of the game and led the Beijing team by 10 points.

In the second quarter of the game, the Beijing team replaced several domestic players, but the offense was still unfavorable, and even a 24-second violation was prevented.

The Shanghai team continued to impact Beijing's inner line by Gao Dazhuang, supplemented by Landry, Yang Kai and other internal and external combinations, during which Gao Dazhuang also gave Zhang Zhaoxu many times to make the ball, and Zhang Zhaoxu did not disappoint his teammates, several consecutive strong attacks, the score difference is constantly expanding.

At halftime, at 59:43, the Shanghai team had already taken a 16-point lead.

In the second half, the Shanghai team sent Harris to form the strongest lineup of two foreign aids, and within 3 minutes, Harris and Gao Dazhuang burst into a wave of 10:2 attacks, expanding the difference to 20 points.

At this time, the Beijing team adjusted the personnel on the field again.

Its head coach Min Lulei waved his hand and replaced Li Xuelin, who returned from injury, which was also the first appearance of Beijing's main point guard Li Xuelin after being injured at the beginning of the season.

Seeing Li Xuelin return to the stadium again, the 6,000 fans of the Beijing team, who had been silent for a long time, shouted Li Xuelin's name in unison to welcome his return.

Perhaps stimulated by the Beijing team's replacement of Li Xuelin, in the middle of the third quarter, the Shanghai team also asked for a substitution.

At this time, Liu Wei, the captain of the Shanghai team, appeared on the sidelines and replaced the teenager Yang Kai.

"Captain, welcome back" The tall and strong looked at Liu Wei who walked on the field happily.

Liu Wei greeted his teammates who greeted him enthusiastically one by one, and said with a smile: "I've wanted to play for a long time, my body is going to rust, guys, come on, I don't want to lose the first game of my comeback."

"Ha, no problem", "Take them and enter the playoffs", "Come on" The return of the captain made the morale of the Shanghai team high.

Although Liu Wei, who has been absent from the battle for a long time, feels a little cold and misses several shots in a row, his good vision and excellent passing skills still send a few wonderful assists, so that the Shanghai team has always maintained an advantage of about 20 points.

With the referee's whistle, at 108:89, the Shanghai team, which was fighting away, defeated the Beijing team that was "training" for the playoffs, won a key victory, and successfully locked the playoff place.

In this game, Gao Dazhuang scored a game-high 30 points, in addition to 7 assists and 5 rebounds, while another "sharp knife" Harris was reserved, contributing 18 points in the game, but Zhang Zhaoxu, the inside gate of the Shanghai team, unexpectedly "recovered", contributing 11 points and 10 rebounds in the whole game, which was the first time Zhang Zhaoxu contributed 2 doubles after 15 rounds of league games.

In addition, Liu Wei, the captain who returned from injury, played 9 minutes, and although he did not score, he handed out 4 assists.

After the victory over Beijing, all the players of the Shanghai team moved to Tianjin non-stop, and won the last opponent of the regular season this season, the Tianjin team.

Since the Shanghai team has locked the eighth position in the league before the game, in this game, in addition to Liu Wei, who returned to the team in the last game, another fierce player Peng Fei also returned from injury and got playing time.

In this game, the two "sharp knives" of the Shanghai team, Gao Dazhuang and Harris, did not play, and the Shanghai team Panagio coach sent Meng Lingyuan, Liu Ziqiu, Zeng Wending and other rotating lineups to play, supplemented by Landry, Zhang Zhaoxu, Zhai Yi, Yang Kai young players.

Landry scored a game-high 22 points and 15 rebounds, Zhang Zhaoxu once again had a good performance, contributing 14 points and 9 rebounds, captain Liu Wei played 22 minutes, scored 8 points and 6 assists, and Zhai Yi and Yang Kai also scored 8 and 11 points respectively.

The Shanghai team finally ended the regular season with a victory, and more importantly, the Shanghai team has become more and more complete than the victory.

"Playoffs, here we come" Despite facing defending champions Guangdong in the playoffs, the players of the Shanghai team still made their voices heard.
