ZHUJI, China, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Hu Jinqiu scored 33 points as the Zhejiang Guangsha overwhelmed Fujian Sturgeons 125-100 in the 2020-21 Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) here on Monday.

With Trae Golden's effective assists, Fujian took a seven-point lead in the first quarter. Fujian stormed into a 12-2 run after Wang Zhelin made a slam dunk and led 67-58 at the half-time break.

The fierce battle continued in the second half. Launching a few offensive rebounds, Li Jinxiao managed to help Guangsha turn over the table and grabbed a 12-point advantage as the third quarter ran out.

In the last quarter, with Fujian losing momentum, Guangsha widened the gap after Sun Minghui and Li Jinxiao made a series of jump shots and helped Guangsha seal the victory.

Sun Minghui notched 21 points and 16 assists for Guangsha while Fujian's Chen Linjian notched 28 points plus five assists. Wang Zhelin contributed 27 points and Trae Golden had 20 points for Fujian.

"We had been well-prepared before today's game. I hope we can continue the momentum in the future games," Guangsha's center Hu Jinqiu said.

"We had a really bad third quarter and let them shoot too many open shot. We couldn't find our game back. It's disappointing because we played very well for two and a half quarters," commented Fujian head coach Nenad Vucinic. Enditem
