The Sichuan Blue Whales were looking for their first-ever victory. The newly promoted franchise failed to get into the win column in their first three games, and were hoping that changed on Sunday as they hosted the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
And things don’t start well for the home side --- already behind in the first quarter, when Darius Johnson-Odom gets the hoop and harm for the Blue Whales, but they still trail by double digits.
Xinjiang’s James Singleton would keep the Tigers flying, cleaning the glass and getting the putback to keep it a 12-point game.
The lead would swell to more than 30, despite this triple from the corner from Zhang Zong Xian Sichuan were still on their way to another loss.
And it would come to fruition Yu Changchun getting the hoop in the lane Xinjiang goes on to an easy 113-79 win.
