Thanks to foreign trio's combined 75 points, Tianjin Ronggang upset Fujian SBS 110-103, advancing into playoffs for the first time in franchise history.

The "Abbas Rule", meaning that the team who recruits Zaid Abbas is set to advance into playoffs, proved again this time. During last four seasons, Shanghai, Beijing, Fujian and Shandong have "benefitted" from this rule. Abbas finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday's match.

 

Up to now, seven playoffs teams have been set: Guangdong, Xinjiang, Dongguan, Beijing, Guangsha, Tianjin and Shanghai.
