On September 24, the NBL Finals continued, with Anhui losing to Hong Kong 86-100. In this game, Anhui’s two major foreign players took over key responsibilities in different periods, but the overall gap in the backcourt players was significant, with Jackson failing to match Jones’ competitive form. The domestic players led by Tang Jie also failed to step up, ultimately Dakari & Jillenvoirt combined for 37 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists but failed to secure a victory.
Johnson played for 33 minutes, scoring 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists with 9 out of 16 shots made. He continuously failed to create threats in the paint in the second half. Johnson’s poor performance in the decisive moments became one of the key factors why Anhui could not win.
Jillenvoirt played for 17 minutes, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals with 5 out of 6 shots made. In the fourth quarter, he played a crucial role in a scoring run, but his efforts alone were not enough to match Jones’ explosive performance.
