Regular Season Round 15: Shanghai S. - Foshan LL 90-79
Date: December 5, 2014
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when 11th ranked Foshan (7-8) was defeated on the road by twelfth ranked Shanghai Sharks (7-8) 90-79. The game was mostly controlled by Shanghai Sharks. Foshan was better in second period 22-18. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Shanghai Sharks dominated down low during the game scoring 52 of its points in the paint compared to Foshan's 32. They outrebounded Foshan 57-34 including a 41-24 advantage in defensive rebounds. Shanghai Sharks brought some defensive toughness making 7 blocks. 28 personal fouls committed by Foshan helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for American forward Michael Beasley (208-89, college: Kansas St.) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 35 points (!!!) and 10 rebounds. His fellow American import power forward Bernard James (208-85, college: Florida St.) contributed with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 13 rebounds for the winners. Nigerian-American point guard Josh-Emmanuel Akognon (180-86, college: CS Fullerton) answered with 41 points (!!!) and Lebanese swingman Fadi Khatib (199-79) added 16 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Foshan. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The victory was the fourth consecutive win for Shanghai Sharks. They moved-up to eleventh place, which they share with Foshan LL. Shanghai Sharks' next round opponent will be higher ranked Guandong Tigers (#3) in Dongguan and it will be quite challenging to get another victory.
