Absolutely insane! Plus/minus of +33! The Block King completely dominated Guangdong.

Powering up in the paint, finishing a dunk over two defenders.

This was the epitome of Shanghai vs Guangdong, "White Side" Whiteside wreaking havoc unstoppably inside.

Ultimately, Shanghai won big at home, 97-81 over Guangdong.

In this game, Shanghai grabbed 49 rebounds total, Whiteside alone accounted for 26 boards plus 14 points and 4 blocks, with a +33 plus/minus, while Guangdong only managed 25 rebounds.

The 36-year-old Whiteside became Guangdong's sternest "father," erupting with formidable energy every time he faced this CBA giant; in the previous two meetings he posted 28 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks and 12 points, 18 rebounds, 3 blocks respectively.

An old Ferrari is still a Ferrari.

After all, Whiteside is a player who made his name in the NBA, averaging 12.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.2 blocks per game in his career regular seasons, winning two Block King titles and one Rebound King title, and being selected to the All-Defensive Second Team once.

It's said that before this season started, Shanghai signed Whiteside because they had no other options; now it seems the management is popping champagne every night—they scratched the right lottery ticket.

Meanwhile, the popular Beijing team also lost, falling 86-88 in an upset away game against Jilin.

Beijing's final three-point buzzer-beater play was entrusted to Zhou Qi, whose shooting skills have completely vanished...

Trying to catch the opponent off guard? You still need to see if the finisher has the ability.

Zhou Qi nowadays struggles even with free throws, let alone three-pointers; this guy shot 0 for 8 on free throws in this game, and his free throw percentage this season has plummeted to a pitiful 47.4%, a career low, even prompting opponents to employ a "Hack-a-Zhou" strategy against him.

Currently, Shanghai leads the league with a 25-4 record, Guangdong ranks third with 19-10, Beijing is fifth with 18-11, and Jilin sits 15th with 12-17.

Although Guangdong and Beijing both have decent records, and both possess豪华阵容, their actual gameplay falls far short of expectations, making it difficult to talk about a championship run this season.
