CBA Rankings Undergo Major Shakeup! Shanghai Dominates with 13 Straight Wins, Shenzhen Climbs to Fourth with 7 Wins, Guangdong Returns to Top Three

On March 30 Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued. Four games concluded last night: the giant-killer Jilin lost 86-111 to Shenzhen, Shanxi narrowly fell 96-100 to leader Shanghai, the super underdog Sichuan suffered a heavy 54-102 defeat to Guangdong, and defending champion Guangsha unleashed full firepower to crush Jiangsu 91-53. Consequently, the latest standings experienced a major reshuffle: Shanghai firmly occupies the top spot with 13 consecutive wins, Guangsha solidly holds second place with 7 straight wins, Guangdong returns to third place, Shenzhen surges to fourth with a streak of 7 wins, Jiangsu sits at third from bottom, and Sichuan swallows a 32-game losing streak to remain at the bottom!

Jilin faced Shenzhen. The giant-killer met Shenzhen, which was on a 6-game winning streak. Shenzhen started unstoppable, firing on all cylinders to post a 34-15 score in the first quarter, significantly widening the gap. In the second quarter, Jilin rallied late to claw back some points. However, in the second half, Shenzhen reignited its offense, again delivering a 31-24 run to extend the lead, with the margin continuously growing. In the final quarter, even with substitutes, Shenzhen still overpowered Jilin, ultimately killing the game's suspense as Shenzhen crushed Jilin to secure a 7-game winning streak!

Shanxi faced Shanghai. A clash between last season's two dark horses, Shanghai has been exceptionally impressive this season, rising to the top with its strong roster. After the start, Goodwin immediately fired up, helping Shanghai take control. In the second quarter, Shanxi's outside shooting ignited with continuous hits, allowing Shanxi to outscore by 9 points in the quarter and overtake the lead. In the second half, Shanxi's offense stalled while Shanghai persistently chased and eroded the deficit. In the final period, both teams exchanged bursts in a tug-of-war, with the game locked in a stalemate. Ultimately, Zhang Zhenlin of Shanghai sealed the win with a dunk, overcoming unfavorable away conditions to clinch a 13-game winning streak—truly demonstrating toughness!

Sichuan faced Guangdong. Sichuan, currently unable to secure a single win, became the first team eliminated from playoff contention, challenging traditional powerhouse Guangdong in this round. The result was a brutal beating: Guangdong's powerful onslaught swept through, bombarding Sichuan relentlessly, with Sichuan showing no resistance. Thus, the gap continuously widened, ending with six Guangdong players scoring double figures and a crushing 48-point victory over Sichuan—a super massacre!

Guangsha faced Jiangsu. Defending champion Guangsha, steadily ranked second, met bottom-ranked underdog Jiangsu this round, with a clear disparity in strength. Guangsha went into a frenzy directly; Jiangsu had no resistance and collapsed comprehensively, turning the game into a one-sided affair as the margin continuously expanded. Ultimately, Guangsha exploded with multi-point scoring to demolish Jiangsu, with all players contributing in excellent team basketball, securing a 7-game winning streak to firmly hold second place. It must be said this game was truly painful to watch—Jiangsu's level was too poor, even missing open shots!
