International power forward Jianlian Yi (212-PF-87) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Guandong ST, receiving a Asia-basket.com Player of the Week award for round 3. The 25-year old player had a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds, while his team edged out Guangsha L. (#12, 1-2) 113-110. Guandong ST maintains the 7th position in Chinese CBA. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Guandong ST will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. Yi turned to be Guandong ST's top player in his first season with the team. Jianlian Yi has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (6th best: 27.7ppg), rebounds (9th best: 11.3rpg) and averages impressive 2.7bpg and 78.4% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was 31-year old American Charles Gaines (201-F-81) of Shanxi Zh.. Gaines had a very good evening with a double-double of 31 points and 16 rebounds. Bad luck as Shanxi Zh. lost that game 102-109 to Fujian QB (2-1). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Gaines is well-known at Shanxi Zh. and is a proven leader in his second season with the team. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 26.0ppg (#9). He also registered 10.5 boards per game.
Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Mike Harris (198-F-83) of Jiangsu D. (#14). Harris got into 30-points club by scoring 34 points in the last round. He went also for sixteen rebounds . Despite Harris' great performance Jiangsu D. lost 92-98 to DongGuan L. (#6, 2-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Jiangsu D. can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 2 games. Too bad for Harris he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. The season just started for Harris as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.
Other top performing players last week: 4. Al Thornton (203-F-83) of Guangsha L. - 36 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists 5. Zhelin Wang (215-PF-94) of Fujian QB - 28 points, 15 rebounds and 2 assists 6. Mingxin Ju (200-F/G-93) of Foshan LL - 27 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists 7.

The Player of the week is choosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc. The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy. The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3*(REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4*(2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3*(2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3*(3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
