Point guard Liu Wei made the last shot of the game to deny Wang
Zhizhi's 41-point effort for Shanghai Sharks' 101-100 thrilling win
over Bayi Rockets in a CBA match.
Liu, who shot just 3-out-of-16 in the field before the winning
basket, took 4.6 seconds for the break-through layup, leaving four
seconds to the away team when Zhang Zhongguang's 3-point attempt
wide off.
Wang also grabbed 10 rebounds and power forward Mo Ke added 20
points but were not enough for the military team collecting the
third victory of the new season.
This was the second time for Liu winning the game by the last
shot as he made the basket with six seconds left to lead the Sharks
to a 111-110 win over the Dongguan New Century last Sunday.
Defending champion Guangdong Hongyuan kept unbeaten by beating
Fujian SBS 97-83 for its fourth consecutive victory.
Pivot Yi Jianlian led the game with 26 points and 11 rebounds
when his national teammates Zhu Fangyu contributing 18 points and
nine rebounds, Wang Shipeng 15 points and Chen Jianhua 10
points.
Fujian's Chris Porter was one steals shy of triple-doubles as he
had 19 points, 15 rebounds and nine steals.
Yunnan Honghe tasted its fourth loss in row as it fell down on
road to the Dongguan New Century by 114-100.
Antonio Miles, who was selected on No. 1 last season, scored 27
points while Qiu Biao adding 23 for the home team.
CBA new comer Zhejiang Guangsha was still looking forward to its
first win as it lost 98-78 to Zhejiang Cyclones, while Beijing
Ducks handled down the second home win by defeating Xinjiang
Guanghui 99-81.
In Sunday's other matches, Jiangsu Dragons stopped Liaoning
Hunters' winning streak with a 118-107 home win, while Shannxi Hans
kept Shanxi Zhongyu winless with a 116-105 victory. In the late
