XI'AN, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- Shenzhen Leopard defeated Beijing Ducks 93-83 in 2018-19 Chinese Basketball Association league on Friday, snatching two victories consecutively.

Both sides earned eight wins during the latest ten games. Shenzhen led a 9-1 spurt at the beginning of the game. But the home team began to chase after a timeout. Although the CBA powerhouse ever narrowed the gap to two, it was led by team Shenzhen 19-13 in the first quarter.

Beijing built a solid defense system in the second quarter, which made Shenzhen fall into chaos. Justin Hamilton helped Beijing turn the table, Shenzhen's rising star Shen Zijie suffered an arm injury and his absence made his team trail by five at the half.

Shenzhen earned eight points consecutively in the first two minutes of the third quarter, taking the upper hand again. When facing against Shenzhen's two non-Chinese players, it is difficult for Hamilton to do much single-handed.

Hamilton was exhausted in the last few minutes and Shen was back from his injury and terminated the game by a outstanding dunk with 27 seconds remaining on the clock.

Dwight Buycks of Shenzhen contributed 27 points, plus seven rebounds and five assists. Shen Zijie earned 12 points and grabbed six rebounds. Hamilton got 26 points.

In the other two 25th round games played on Friday, Liaoning Flying Leopard edged Shanxi Guotou Loongs 112-102, Zhejiang Chouzhou won over Sichuan Blue Whale 97-92.
