24+17! Wang Zhelin Dominates NBA Twin Towers! Shanghai Secures Regular Season Championship

Wang Zhelin scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds (9 offensive boards), overpowering the NBA-caliber twin towers Zhou Qi and JaVale McGee (combined 20 points, 17 rebounds).

Beijing's stats are as follows:

Without "White Side" Hassan Whiteside and Kenneth Lofton, Shanghai astonishingly crushed Beijing 88-83 on the road, showcasing terrifying roster depth.

Actually, Fogg was Shanghai's biggest contributor to victory in this game, hitting 9 three-pointers for a blazing 36 points plus 4 rebounds and 3 assists, with a +13 plus/minus; his scoring and plus/minus were both the highest in the game.

The 36-year-old FMVP import player remains a force to be reckoned with.

After this match, Shanghai's record stands at 34 wins and 4 losses, leading the defending champion in second place by 4 wins. Since only 4 games remain in the regular season, Guangsha can only tie the record at best; furthermore, because the head-to-head record between the two teams is tied (1 win, 1 loss), and Shanghai's potential game performance ranking is higher than Guangsha's, Shanghai has already clinched the regular season championship ahead of schedule.

Shanghai Men's Basketball last won the regular season championship back in the Yao Ming era of the 2001-2002 season, when they also lifted the championship trophy; this year they aim to secure the team's second championship trophy.

As the most dominant team this season, Shanghai currently leads the league in average points per game (99.9), rebounds (43.4), assists (23.9), three-point percentage (39.3%), field goal percentage (52.8%), field goals made (36.8), points per 100 possessions (126.5), points allowed per 100 possessions (105.5), net rating per 100 possessions (21.1), effective field goal percentage (59.9%), and paint scoring percentage (73%).

Regarding Shanghai's most crucial acquisition this season, Zhang Zhenlin, he has played 38 games with 34 starts so far, averaging 26.9 minutes per game contributing 10.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.5 steals, with shooting percentages of 45.8%, 32.6%, and 78.4%. His impact on the court isn't fully captured by stats, especially defensively, where many opposing small imports struggle against him.
