Of the two sides' 21 previous matches, Xinjiang are with 12 losses and only 9 wins, 2 of which were off season competitions.
Starting this year however, things seemed to have changed in favor of Xinjiang, as they went into the off season series winning the opener. Going into the teams' second encounter on Wednesday night, Xinjiang were clear about their desire to win against a weakened Jiangsu squad. Their quick offensives and fine team work brought them to a 60-43 lead at the break. Xu Guochong contributed 19 points, with 5-for-5 three point shooting.
With Xinjiang's main players off the court in the latter half, Jiangsu launched waves of offensives of their own. But even though Hu Xuefeng was effective in his fast attacks and three-point shooting, his team only managed to cut the gap to 10 points at the end of the 3rd quarter.
In the final quarter, Xinjiang were back in offensive mode again. They eventually took the match 100-80, and an overall scoreline of 2-0.
