On April 11, Beijing time, in the first round of the 2024-2025 CBA playoffs G3, the Guangdong men's basketball team hosted the Shanghai men's basketball team. After four quarters of competition, Guangdong defeated Shanghai 115-89, advanced to the quarterfinals with a score of 2-1, and will face the Shanxi men's basketball team in the next round.

Shanghai: Lofton 24 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals, Li Hongquan 12 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Harvey 18 points and 4 rebounds

In the first quarter of the game, the Guangdong team relied on pressing defense to make the Shanghai team very uncomfortable, and took a 9-3 lead at the beginning. After Du Runwang didn't score a basket, Li Tianrong, Li Hongquan and Harvey played a wave of small climaxes on the outside to overtake Guangdong. Beazley scored five points in a row, and Hu Mingxuan shot another three points to stop Shanghai. With Xu Jie's two three-pointers, Guangdong led Shanghai 37-26 in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Shanghai team made frequent mistakes, not only did not narrow the point difference, but was counterattacked continuously. Wang Zhelin made a series of throws and penalties on the inside line to help the Shanghai team stop the bleeding, and the Guangdong team immediately adjusted the lineup to deal with it highly. With Hu Mingxuan and Huang Rongqi hitting three points one after another, Guangdong's offense played smoothly. At halftime, Guangdong led Shanghai 70-53.

Yibian fought again, and Ren Junfei had redundant actions when defending Wang Zhelin under the basket, and was directly seized power. The Shanghai team immediately responded with a wave of 6-0, and the Guangdong team immediately called for a readjustment of the game. After the timeout, Lofton and Wang Zhelin took turns bombing the basket to narrow the gap to 13 points. Subsequently, Wang Zhelin was injured and left the field in the confrontation with Gillenwater. Du Runwang's outside hand rose and fell, and Xu Jie broke through continuously and smashed Huanglong. With Beazley hitting a three-pointer, Guangdong led Shanghai 96-71. In the final quarter, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and the Guangdong team maintained a lead of more than 20 points. In the case that Wang Zhelin was unable to play, the offensive end of the Shanghai team was even more stretched. Xu Jie tried to consume every round until the last second, just waiting for the end of the game. In the end, Guangdong defeated Shanghai 115-92 to advance to the quarterfinals.
