The Beijing Ducks continued their winning streak, overpowering Jilin 134-108 at home to secure their tenth consecutive victory in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league. Seven players from Beijing scored in double digits, showcasing the team’s depth and cohesion.
With Chen Yingjun absent from the lineup, American guard Zachary Nutall stepped up to orchestrate the offense. Nutall’s dynamic playmaking and ability to penetrate the defense were pivotal, as he dished out a game-high 12 assists. His efforts seamlessly connected the team’s plays and broke through Jilin’s defenses at crucial moments.
Rising star Zeng Fanbo delivered a standout performance, demonstrating why he’s one of the league’s most promising talents. The 22-year-old forward was highly efficient, shooting 9-for-13 from the field and leading the team with 27 points. Zeng’s impact was felt throughout the game, but he truly shined in the fourth quarter.
Entering the final period with a 101-89 lead, Beijing didn’t let up. Zeng hit three three-pointers and scored 16 of his total points in the last quarter, extending the Ducks’ advantage and sealing the victory. His impressive display electrified the home crowd and left Jilin struggling to keep up.
Despite a monumental effort from Jilin’s Dominique Jones, who scored an astounding 50 points, it wasn’t enough to overcome Beijing’s teamwork and Zeng’s exceptional performance. The Ducks’ victory not only highlights their current form but also cements their position as strong contenders in the league.
The Beijing Ducks will look to maintain their momentum as the season progresses, with fans eager to see how far this winning streak can go.
