Following Beijing's defeat against Zhejiang, Liaoning's victory over Xinjiang, and Sichuan's 33 consecutive losses, the latest CBA rankings have been released.

On April 2nd Beijing time, the CBA regular season continued, with six matches concluding last night. Among them, Beijing Control narrowly defeated Guangzhou 89-88; in the key match, Liaoning easily beat Xinjiang 87-75; Qingdao struggled to overcome the underdog Tianjin 94-90; Shandong gained momentum in the second half to defeat Fujian 102-93; Sichuan, numb from losses, suffered a heavy defeat to Shanxi 81-103; Zhejiang overwhelmed Beijing with a dominant 81-66 victory. Consequently, the latest rankings have been shuffled, with Shandong fourth, Beijing fifth, Zhejiang eighth, Liaoning ninth, and Shanxi tenth!

Liaoning faced Xinjiang. This match was considered a key battle, though both teams' performance has declined this season, reducing the excitement. Liaoning maintained a slight advantage over Xinjiang from the start, and the gap widened progressively. Moreland efficiently contributed scoring power, while Xinjiang struggled with scoring, their performance truly underwhelming. Ultimately, Liaoning comfortably secured the win over Xinjiang, solidifying their playoff position!

Shandong faced Fujian. In the first half, Shandong couldn't gain much advantage, trailing by three points at halftime. After switching sides, Shandong unleashed a multi-point attack in the third quarter, scoring 31-21 to overtake the lead. In the final quarter, both teams surged alternately; Fujian briefly regained control, but Shandong responded promptly to widen the gap again. Despite only hitting three three-pointers from outside, Shandong ultimately secured victory over Fujian. In this match, Shandong's two substitute foreign players, Steele and Percell, were highly efficient, both scoring over 20 points, which was key to Shandong's win!

Sichuan faced Shanxi. Sichuan has struggled to secure a single win this season, becoming the first team eliminated from playoff contention. This round against Shanxi also seemed hopeless, and indeed, Sichuan was overwhelmed by Shanxi, losing direction. In the first half, Shanxi unleashed fierce offensive firepower, scoring 30-23 and 26-11. In the second half, Sichuan attempted to counterattack, but Shanxi prevented any narrowing of the gap, maintaining the lead. Ultimately, Shanxi's comprehensive offensive explosion led to a smooth victory, handing Sichuan their 33rd consecutive loss!

Zhejiang faced Beijing. With Zhao Rui absent from Beijing's lineup, Zhejiang seized a significant advantage; Beijing's strength dropped a level, with no one able to score effectively. They managed to hold off Zhejiang in the first quarter, but from the second quarter onward, Zhejiang aggressively pressured rebounds, continuously suppressing Beijing's scoring to widen the gap, which kept expanding. Conversely, Beijing's offense was sluggish and slow-paced, and the head coach lacked adaptability. In the final moments, deploying a twin towers strategy led to a heavy defeat against Zhejiang, a very ugly loss. It appears without Zhao Rui, Beijing lacks any攻坚能力!
