September 4th, NBL semifinal G3 continued, with the Hong Kong Golden Bulls losing 77-90 away to Changsha Yongsheng, failing to sweep and advance to the finals, bringing the series score to 2-1.
The Hong Kong Golden Bulls had won both of their previous home games, leading 2-0 in the series. Had they won this game, they would have advanced to the finals first with a 3-0 lead. However, in this away game, the Hong Kong Golden Bulls lost their form and fell into trouble early on. Although they briefly took the lead in the third quarter, they failed to maintain their momentum and were pulled away by Changsha again. They were subsequently unable to catch up, ultimately suffering their first playoff defeat.
In this game, the entire Hong Kong Golden Bulls team performed poorly. Jones shot only 4 out of 14, scoring just 11 points with 8 rebounds and 4 assists, a stark contrast from the previous game. Among the main rotation players for the Hong Kong Golden Bulls, only Carlton had a shooting percentage of 50%, while all other players were below fifty percent. Their three-point shooting was 8 out of 37, and even free throws were only 17 out of 27. Such poor performance prevented the Hong Kong Golden Bulls from sweeping the series 3-0. They will now prepare for the G4 match.
