Following Liaoning's heavy defeat to Ningbo, Jiangsu's dominant win over Xinjiang & Guangsha's victory against Shandong, the latest CBA standings have been released.

On January 30th Beijing time, the CBA regular season battles went on with multiple games ending last night. Ningbo achieved a historic 75-62 win over Liaoning, Guangzhou fell 85-92 to struggling Fujian, Jiangsu crushed former giant Xinjiang 88-68, Zhejiang easily toppled last season’s surprise Shanxi 87-70, and Guangsha powerfully overcame Shandong 86-77. Consequently, the latest rankings have been updated: Guangsha leads, Shandong is fourth, Zhejiang on a 3-game winning streak sits seventh, Ningbo is ninth, and Shanxi suffers a 4-game losing streak at tenth!

Ningbo faced Liaoning. The two teams are currently in starkly different forms; Ningbo has improved rapidly while Liaoning has declined sharply. This contrast made the outcome predictable. Ningbo played aggressively with a balanced inside-out game maintaining control throughout, firmly suppressing Liaoning’s offense. Conversely, Liaoning struggled with poor shooting and lacked solutions to break through Ningbo’s defense. The score gap widened steadily, and Liaoning’s scoring options went silent, resulting in a crushing defeat by Ningbo—marking Liaoning’s first-ever loss to Ningbo, which is quite ironic!

Jiangsu played against Xinjiang. Xinjiang has regressed significantly this season with no competitiveness, even their playoff spot is uncertain. In this round, they faced bottom-ranked Jiangsu, who have also improved compared to last season. From the start, Jiangsu’s scoring momentum was strong, especially with Pang Zhenglin’s hot shooting helping Jiangsu spread the offense and suppress Xinjiang. The gap kept growing until Xinjiang was overwhelmed, and Jiangsu won by a commanding 20-point margin!

Zhejiang took on Shanxi. Throughout the game, Zhejiang’s offense dominated Shanxi, steadily increasing the point difference. In the end, Zhejiang easily defeated Shanxi, leaving Shanxi unable to respond!

Guangsha faced Shandong. The league leaders Guangsha met a well-performing Shandong, making this the highlight match of the round. However, Shandong rested key players and seemed reluctant to win. After the game started, Shandong took the lead and built a big advantage. Later, Guangsha gradually found their rhythm, attacking from multiple angles to surround Shandong. The point gap kept climbing as Guangsha quickly erased the deficit and took the lead, ultimately completing a huge comeback to beat Shandong, ending Shandong’s 4-game winning streak!

Tonight there are still three games: Beijing Control vs Qingdao, Tongxi against winless Sichuan, and Shanghai battling Shenzhen in a scoring duel. Let’s wait and see!
