Huaihua 70 – 65 Chenzhou | Hunan Basketball Association

Defense ruled the night on May 17, 2026, as Huaihua ground out a 70-65 victory over Chenzhou in the Hunan Basketball Association. The home team’s stingy zone defense held Chenzhou to just 35% shooting from the field, earning a hard-fought win that keeps Huaihua atop the league standings.

Match Overview

Neither team found offensive rhythm early, with the score tied 28-28 at halftime. Huaihua stepped up their intensity in the third quarter, forcing seven turnovers and converting them into nine points to build a 52-44 lead. Chenzhou made a late push in the fourth, cutting the deficit to three, but Huaihua’s veteran leadership sealed the outcome.

Defensive Heroes

  • Yang Cheng (Huaihua): 3 steals, 2 blocks, and held Chenzhou’s leading scorer to 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting.
  • Chen Wei (Huaihua): 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in a physical frontcourt battle.
  • Zheng Tao (Chenzhou): 16 points, but needed 18 shots to get there.

Offensive Spark

Forward Ma Dong provided the necessary scoring punch for Huaihua, pouring in 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including two timely three-pointers in the fourth quarter. His ability to score in isolation was the difference on a night when points came at a premium.

Standings Impact
