Recently, Shandong Hi-Speed Basketball Club has turned their home arena into a fortress this season, outshining every other team in the league. Much like the electric atmosphere found in BD Cricket Live, where crowd energy can sway match momentum, the Shandong Hi-Speed Stadium on Jingshi Road in Jinan has become a true stronghold—now boasting the league’s best home record at 15 wins and just 1 loss.

Their latest triumph came against powerhouse Xinjiang, a team that previously edged Shandong by just three points in Urumqi—even when fielding only one foreign player. This time, Xinjiang had their full roster, including a new import, but it made little difference. Their foreign signing Lima delivered a forgettable 10-point, 10-rebound performance, drawing public criticism from head coach Li Qiuping. In stark contrast, Shandong’s lineup exploded with a well-rounded offensive surge that Xinjiang simply couldn’t contain.

Five Shandong players delivered standout games, led by star guard Ty Lawson, who dropped a career-high 38 points in the CBA. He exploded for 15 points in the first quarter alone, justifying coach Caesar’s strategic lineup change. Donatas Motiejūnas added 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Tao Hanlin posted 20 and 10, completely dominating the paint. Ding Yanyuhang contributed a solid 18 points and 5 boards, staying consistent as ever.

The unexpected hero of the night, however, was Zhang Chunjun—a classic blue-collar warrior. He tallied 6 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the team in both rebounds and assists and setting season-highs in both categories. After the game, Zhang was brought to the post-game press conference for the first time, a rare honor. Humble and a bit shy, he said, “It’s my first time here since joining Shandong. I’ve been under pressure lately and was eager to perform. Thanks to my teammates and coaches for encouraging me. I finally played my game.”

Thanks to Zhang’s relentless hustle and defensive grit, Shandong outrebounded Xinjiang by 14 and held Adams below 50% shooting—a critical factor in securing the win. The passion and energy he brought were reminiscent of the intensity found in BD Cricket Live when every ball matters.

While Shandong’s road record sits at a modest 7–8, their home dominance is undeniable. The Hi-Speed Stadium might not look imposing from the outside, but for opponents, it has become a nightmare venue. With only three home games left in the regular season—one a major test against Jiangsu—Shandong is on the brink of being crowned the league’s best home team.

The crowd certainly plays its part. In high-stakes games, the 8,000-seat arena is packed to the rafters, roaring with nonstop energy. Last night’s clash was no exception. As Shandong eyes a deep playoff run, the next step is clear: turn their fierce home form into consistent performances on the road. And just like BD Cricket Live fans tracking every stat and score, supporters across China are watching closely to see if Shandong can convert home dominance into postseason glory.
