They lost three on the spin, managed to win one after those defeats before eventually reverting to winning ways. Any flicker of a semblance which looked to be creeping into the Shanghai Sharks side has vanished up in smoke with the team’s 86-76 defeat to Beijing the last time around, a result which saw them plummet right down into 18th place.
While the season still has some distance to cover, the league is fast ending for Shanghai Sharks. There has been noteworthy from the side, a side steadfastly losing its relevance with each passing game as they are left only cooking the books and covering their tracks each time.
This is not going to be the game for Shanghai Sharks to wrench out of their impasse though. The side takes on 7th placed Xinjiang, a side way too progressive and superior to them, a team Shanghai Sharks will do nothing but fold out against as they are handed out a battering on the day.
Probable Winner
What should have been a simple and easy third win in a row for Tigers instead ended up in an unprecedented defeat to Bayi Rockets. The defeat was a staggering result, not many had envisaged, a showing which put the brakes on a runaway Xinjiang side.
However, that result will hardly act a determent for the side today with this set to be a canter in the park for them.
