In the 18th round of the CBA regular season, the Qingdao men's basketball team played against the Guangsha men's basketball team at home, which aroused great interest among fans. The Qingdao team ranked 10th, while the Guangsha team ranked 4th, and there was a certain gap in strength. However, in the game, the Qingdao team relied on the hard work and hard work of the young players to create a big upset, defeating the Guangsha team 99-94. Qingdao have been in poor form of late, winning just two of their last six games, and narrowly beat bottom-bottom Jilin in the last round after their home opponents were sent off by three. This young team is going through a phase of growth and the hot momentum at the start of the season has passed. In contrast, Guangsha have been one of the best teams in recent times, beating Ningbo in the last round to make it five wins in a row, including a double win over defending champions Liaoning, with both strength and confidence.
Therefore, the Guangsha team challenged the Qingdao team away, and naturally hoped to continue to maintain the winning momentum and achieve a victory. At the beginning of the game, the two sides quickly got into the groove, Sun Minghui hit the opening mid-range shot, but then Lu Junhu responded with a three-pointer. Then, Qingdao's foreign player Powell took over the ball and led the team to take the lead, while the Guangsha team relied on the excellent performances of Sun Minghui and Hu Jinqiu to bite the score. Bartley, another foreign player of the Qingdao team, also performed well. At the end of the first quarter, Qingdao led 28-22. Entering the second quarter, Yang Hansen singled Li Jinxiao, and the advantage of the Qingdao team expanded. Although the Guangsha team has been trying to narrow the gap, they are not as good as the Qingdao team in rebounding and have never been able to close the score. At halftime, Qingdao led 52-43.
At the start of the third quarter, the Guangsha team stepped up their interior attack, and the twin tower combination of Oliver and Hu Jinqiu allowed the score to shrink quickly, and the Qingdao team was forced to ask for a timeout. Then, Zhu Junlong's three-pointer allowed the Guangsha team to complete the overtake in less than half a quarter. But Powell and Yang Hansen once again showed their power, and the Qingdao team stabilized the situation. At the end of the third quarter, Qingdao led Guangsha 77-72. Entering the final quarter, the Guangsha team caught up again, and Li Jinxiao hit two free throws to return the score to the same running line, and the game entered a white-hot stage. In the end, with the efforts and hard work of the whole team, the Qingdao team successfully broke the gap in strength and defeated the Guangsha team 99-94, causing a big upset. This game fully demonstrated the strength and fighting spirit of the young players of the Qingdao team, and also made people see that the Guangsha team still needs to be adjusted and improved in terms of lineup and tactics.
In any case, this game brought a fierce sports feast to the fans, and I believe it also left unforgettable memories for the majority of fans. Qingdao defeated Guangsha 99-94, and this game was really thrilling. At the beginning, the Guangsha team showed strong strength and once led the Qingdao team. However, Qingdao did not give in and they quickly recovered nine points to regain the advantage. The Guangsha team clung to the last minute, trailing by only one point. At the critical moment, Zhao Jiayi of the Qingdao team made a quick three-point shot, causing Zhu Junlong's 3+1 foul. Then, the Guangsha team adopted foul tactics, and the Qingdao team made free throws to seal the win. In the end, the Qingdao team successfully defeated the Guangsha team 99-94 and became the biggest dark horse today. In the game, the players of the Qingdao team performed very well.
Powell scored 26 points, Bartley contributed 11 points and eight rebounds, Yang Hansen had 14 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, and Duan Angjun and Zhao Jiayi also scored 12 points each. The wonderful performance of these players has made great contributions to the victory of the Qingdao team. Hu Jinqiu of the Guangsha team performed well, scoring 32 points and 8 rebounds, Sun Minghui contributed 15 points, 13 assists and 6 steals, and Oliver had 18 points and 13 rebounds. However, the rest of the Guangsha team did not play well, which led to the team's loss. For the Guangsha team, this game may be a test of physical fitness and energy. They had previously beaten Liaoning twice, which consumed too much physical strength and energy, which could lead to their poor form in this game. However, we can't deny that the Guangsha team is still one of the strong contenders for the title. At the same time, the progress of the Qingdao team cannot be ignored.
After three consecutive defeats, they declared their rise with this stunning victory. In this season's playoffs, Qingdao team should have a place.

Although the Guangsha team lost, they are still one of the strong contenders for the championship, and the progress and growth of the Qingdao team cannot be ignored.
