On November 12th, Beijing time, during the 7th round of the 2017-18 CBA season, the Liaoning team played at home against the Shandong team. Zhao Jiwei was absent from this match due to injury; Hudson scored 25 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and made 4 steals, adding a decisive three-point shot in the end. Daehan scored 13 points and 11 rebounds. In the end, Liaoning managed to defeat Shandong 97-95, avoiding a consecutive loss. Shandong’s four-game winning streak came to an end. Han Dejun for the Liaoning team scored 13 points and grabbed 11 rebounds; Guo Ailun scored 15 points; Hudson scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals; Baas scored 20 points. Taohanlin of the Shandong team scored 12 points, Ding Yanyuhang scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Motiejunas scored 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Lawson scored 28 points and made 6 steals. The two teams have faced each other 54 times in history, with the Liaoning team having an advantage with 37 wins and 17 losses, including 22 wins and 5 losses at home. Last season, the two teams each won one match, resulting in a tie.
As I said a few days ago, it was difficult for Shandong to compete against Liaoning, and that’s indeed what happened – despite taking the lead at various points in the match, they lost by just two points in the end. However, Shandong performed well throughout the game; their only weakness was Caesar.
Xiao Ding is still quite good; keep it up!
