Anhui beat Shaanxi to take one game back in NBL finals

Xinhua, September 25, 2015 Adjust font size:

Four players of Anhui scored double digits and helped Anhui claim a 92-81 home victory over Shaanxi in Game 3 of the best-of-five finals of the men's National Basketball League (NBL) here on Friday.

Anhui' s Li Jian scored 24 points, including 6 three-pointers and grabbed 10 rebounds, Ren Kai had 20 points and 9 boards, Zhang Yong contributed 13 points and Li Jun added 12 points. Shaanxi' s Bi Jiguang scored a team-high 18 points, Yang Dapeng and Wang Chen combined for 22 points.

Anhui' s foreign aid Reginald Becton did not play the game due to the foot inflammation. "His old wound hasn't healed yet...and I' m afraid he cannot play the next game either," said Zheng Wu, head coach of Anhui.

Shaanxi still led the series 2-1, moving within one win from its first NBL title. Game 4 will take place on Shaanxi' s court on Sunday. Endi
