Xinjiang needed a win on Sunday to extend the series and had a lead heading into the last quarter as Wu Di, who had a fairly quiet season, emerged.  Inner Mongolia took the lead again in the final frame and the trio of Yang Liwei, Li Yueru, and Huang Sijing got them a 93-82 win and the championship in their second season of existence.

The two expected teams made the finals series, which started Friday.  The big battle was supposed to be between the centers, but they ended up neutralizing each other to some extent.  With the other players determining the outcome, it was Yang Liwei and Inner Mongolia avenging their only loss of the regular season with a 77-71 win over Qiu Siyue and Xinjiang.  They will now try to complete the remarkable feat of winning a championship in their second season of existence on Sunday.

Both semifinals were on Tuesday.  Jiangsu had an unexpectedly strong regular season, but their run came to an end at the hands of Xinjiang 82-66 as Han Xu continued to dominate the paint and Wang Lili added more scoring punch.  Li Yueru and Yang Liwei led Inner Mongolia past Sichuan 93-61 in the other game to set up the finals matchup that is the most intriguing.

The top four seeds got a bye in the first round, which was played on Wednesday.  Shanghai, which missed out on a bye by tiebreaker, was led by Liang Liwen in a 107-48 win over Wang Qiuyi and Fujian.  The next seed Shanxi needed a big game from Wu Tongtong to dominate the second half and avoid an upset at the hands of Zhang Ru and Henan.  Tang Yu helped Beijing past Wang Yingzhu and Shandong 84-71.  There ended up being no seeding upsets, even in the 8-9 game as Wang Jiaqi had a triple-double in Zhejiang’s 75-49 win over Guangdong.

A new round started on Sunday with Yang Hengyu and Wang Yingzhu leading Shandong to an 88-70 win over Zhang Ru and Henan.  Jin Weinuo and Jiangsu were extremely impressive in an 86-39 win over Shanghai.  There was plenty of excitement to end the team as Wang Qiuyi and Wei Yu-Chun led Fujian to a 103-92 win over Yang Xiaojie, Zhang Yaqi, and Hebei.  On Monday, Ha Wenqian helped Hubei get their first win 79-45 over Heilongjiang.  Beijing may have lost their stars, including Shao Ting, to Sichuan, but Shi Xuefeng and Tang Yu helped them come back and win 79-77.  Wei Wei and Inner Mongolia beat Guangdong 89-65 in another case of a star player facing her former team.  On Tuesday, Han Xu could not be stopped as Xinjiang beat Fu Jinqiu and Shanxi 91-79.  The other game was far less close as Dong Keer and Zhejiang crushed Tianjin 105-62.
