After approximately three years, Zhao Rui returned to Guangdong's home court for the first time as a visiting player; his last game at Guangdong's home court dates back to the 22-23 season.

In this game facing his former team, Zhao Rui unleashed full firepower; giving his all is the best form of respect. Playing approximately 27 minutes as a substitute, he shot 9 out of 17, including 1 out of 3 from three-point range, contributing a team-high 23 points plus 4 rebounds and 5 assists, leading Beijing to a narrow 96-93 victory.

It is worth noting that Guangdong led by up to 20 points in this game, yet Beijing achieved a massive comeback. In the final moments, Jermaine isolated Cui Yongxi, using a step-back three-pointer to complete a near buzzer-beater.

Du Feng: "What's 20 points?"

Undoubtedly, Guangdong is definitely the top backdrop this season. Prior to this game, they were respectively beaten by Zhejiang's foreign guard York's incredible three-pointer buzzer-beater (January 5th), by Beikong's star Liao Sanning's floater buzzer-beater (January 17th), and by Jiangsu player Wu Yujia's near buzzer-beater (March 20th)...

It can be said Guangdong's luck hasn't been great this year, but luck is also part of the game.

So far this season, Guangdong ranks fourth in the league with 20 wins and 11 losses. Ahead of them are Shanghai (27-4), defending champion Guangsha (26-5), and Beijing (20-11).

The four major championship contenders can finally be grouped in one region, each possessing exceptionally豪华阵容.

However, judging by momentum, Shanghai, with newcomers like Zhang Zhenlin and "White Side" Whiteside, might be the uniquely top-tier championship team this season. From February to March至今, they have remained unbeaten; this big shark has gone completely berserk.
