Shanxi Team Secures Four Consecutive Wins with Double-Double Performance by Goodwin and Yuan Shuai

On October 20th, in the 4th round of the CBA regular season, Shanxi secured a significant 120-100 victory over Shenzhen at home, starting the season with an impressive 4 consecutive wins.

In this match, Shanxi did not take the lead initially and even found themselves in a difficult situation. However, they found their offensive rhythm in the second quarter, scoring 41 points and successfully turning the tide. From then on, they took control of the game. Although the gap was not widened after three quarters, Shanxi unleashed an offensive surge in the final quarter, pulling ahead by double digits, leaving Shenzhen unable to catch up.

Shanxi’s start to the season has been outstanding. They upset Guangdong in the opening game and defeated Zhejiang in the previous match. This time, they achieved a 20-point victory over Shenzhen, securing their fourth consecutive win. They remain undefeated alongside the defending champion Liaoning, Beijing, and Guangsha, which is somewhat surprising.

The team’s offensive performance continued to be strong, with six players scoring in double digits. Goodwin led the way with 30 points and 9 assists; Yuan Shuai scored 20 points. Diawalo, coming off the bench, contributed 20 points and 9 rebounds, while Fay had 15 points and 7 rebounds. Zhang Ning added 14 points, and Ge Zhaobao scored 13 points. The ability of each player to step up is key to Shanxi’s success in securing four consecutive wins.
