As Ningbo caused an upset by defeating Shanxi, Liaoning suffered a heavy loss, Guangdong secured a big win, and Shandong dominated, the latest CBA rankings have been released.

On January 14th Beijing time, the CBA regular season went on with several games ending last night. Former underperformer Ningbo surprisingly beat Shanxi 94-87, traditional strong team Liaoning was dominated and suffered a big 70-86 loss to Qingdao, Tongxi was routed 71-87 by the top-tier Guangdong, and Shandong kept rolling with a powerful 108-85 win over giant slayer Jilin. As a result, the newest standings show Guangdong with three consecutive wins in second place, Qingdao with two straight wins in fifth, Ningbo in sixth, and Shandong roaring to an eighth place with a seven-game winning streak!

Ningbo vs Shanxi. Ningbo has undergone a major transformation this season, greatly improving their strength. In this round, they faced last season’s top four team Shanxi. Ningbo played very seriously, controlling the offense throughout the game and suppressing Shanxi, whose attack was weak and defense fragile. Although only four Ningbo players scored in double digits, they still pulled off a shocking upset over Shanxi, snapping their losing streak. At this point, Ningbo’s chances of making the playoffs look increasingly promising!

Liaoning vs Qingdao. Liaoning’s roster has changed drastically this season, now caught between youth and experience, and their strength has significantly declined, losing all competitiveness. Facing the strong Qingdao this round, winning was a tough challenge. Liaoning started well but faded quickly, with only foreign player Wells fighting hard. Despite Wells scoring 33 points, it was not enough as Qingdao had more scoring options and quickly overtook Liaoning, continuously dominating and widening the gap, resulting in a heavy defeat for Liaoning!

Tongxi vs Guangdong. Guangdong has only lost two games this season and ranks among the top three. They faced Tongxi, who are on a four-game losing streak, with a huge gap in strength. Guangdong maintained absolute control on the court; although their foreign players struggled with poor shooting, Xu Jie remained super steady, Hu Mingxuan regained form, and Jiao Boqiao stepped up to share the scoring load. Ultimately, Guangdong had four players scoring in double digits and secured a big win, firmly holding second place and closely chasing Guangsha!

Shandong vs Jilin. Shandong has been unstoppable recently, riding a hot six-game winning streak. In this round against giant slayer Jilin, Persell continued his scorching form, exploding for 38 points and leading Shandong to a crushing victory. The gap widened early, turning the game into garbage time. Shandong’s multiple scoring threats secured a big win, making their seven-game winning streak truly remarkable!
