Shanghai Sharks Face RSSB Tigers at FIBA Intercontinental Cup
Shanghai Sharks meet RSSB Tigers in Group A on 23 September, while Beijing Royal Fighters face the G-League selection in Group B, both seeking a first result.
Shanghai Sharks meet RSSB Tigers in Group A of the FIBA Intercontinental Cup on 23 September, with a 10:30 Moscow time tip-off. Beijing play the G-League selection in Group B four hours later, at 14:30.
Both Chinese sides are looking for a first result. Rytas beat the Tigers 107:89 on the opening day and lead Group A at 1-0, with Shanghai Sharks at 0-0 and the Tigers at 0-1. In Group B, Boca Juniors beat Beijing Royal Fighters 88:78 and top the standings. The G-League side are yet to play, and the Royal Fighters are 0-1.
Beijing Royal Fighters are 13th in the CBA after 42 games. RSSB Tigers, who play at the 10,000-seat BK Arena, lead the BAL.
A win for either Chinese side would keep their group open. A second defeat for the Tigers or the Royal Fighters could leave them needing results elsewhere to reach the next stage.
