Sichuan Blue Whales

Sichuan Jinqiang endured a night to forget as they were comprehensively beaten 97–46 by Beijing Shougang in a CBA regular-season clash. From the opening quarter, Sichuan struggled to cope with Beijing’s intensity, falling behind early as their offense stalled against relentless on-ball pressure and packed help defense.

Jing Hanyi and Zhang Lisheng led the scoring with 10 points each, the only players from the team who were in double figures as the remaining supporting cast failed to produce enough offense.

Offensively, Sichuan never found their rhythm, hitting just 26.4% from the field, including 12.5% from the perimeter and 62.5% from the free throw line, highlighted by their poor ball movement (8 assists). Defensively, they got outrebounded 28-36 on the boards and committed 18 turnovers down the stretch.

This loss extends their losing streak to five games and is yet to win a game in the regular CBA season. Overall, the team has been averaging 63.2 points per game, while allowing opponents 90.4 points per game. Their ball movement has also been poor with just 13.8 assists per game.
