The Yunnan Bulls secured the last berth in the domestic basketball CBA League's play-off season, despite a 138-110 loss to the Jiangsu Dragons. The Dragons were too strong to hold as five of their players scored double figures, outshining Yunnan's Waldon B.B., who chipped in a game-high of 35 points. Despite this loss, Yunnan joined Jiangsu to enter the CBA play-off season at the cost of Shanghai, its nearest rival in the South Conference. The Shanghai Sharks suffered a fourth consecutive loss, beaten by the visiting Fujian Xunxing, 105-93. This is their fourth time that they have failed to reach the post season since Shanghai star center Yao Ming left for the American NBA. Defending champions Guangdong Southern Tigers defeated the Zhejiang Cyclones 117-111 and traditional powerhouse Bayi Rockets smashed Dongguan 126-100. In the North Conference, Beijing, and Jilin have also made the playoffs, beating Shaanxi and Hennan respectively yesterday. (CRI?English?March 9, 2006) |
