Former international Center Dejun Han (215-C-89) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for top-ranked Liaoning FL, receiving a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 33. The 29-year old player had a double-double of 37 points and 13 rebounds, while his team edged out Jilin NE T. (#12, 15-17) 153-150. It allowed Liaoning FL to consolidate first place in the Chinese CBA. Liaoning FL have a solid 29-4 record. Han has many years of experience at Liaoning FL, through which he has constantly improved. Dejun Han averages this season 13.6ppg and 9.1rpg.
The second best player in last round's games was 27-year old American Jamaal Franklin (196-SG-91, agency: Slash Sports) of Sichuan BW. Franklin had a very good evening with a triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Bad luck as Sichuan BW lost that game 91-111 to the higher-ranked Xinjiang FT (#6, 21-11). Sichuan BW is still second from the bottom in the standings. 25 lost games are too many comparing to just seven victories Sichuan BW managed to get this year. Franklin is well-known at Sichuan BW and is a proven leader in his second season with the team. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 32.4ppg (#9). His other stats are also decent: 10.0rpg and 7.7apg.
Third on the list of top players last round was American guard Marcus Denmon (191-G-90, agency: BeoBasket) of Zhejiang Ch. (#10). Denmon got into 30-points club by scoring 33 points in the last round. He went also for six rebounds and nine assists. He was a key player of Zhejiang Ch., leading his team to a 107-97 win against the lower-ranked Qingdao E. (#15, 10-23). The chances of Zhejiang Ch. ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 17 games, recording just sixteen victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Denmon could help Zhejiang Ch. to bring them higher in the standings. Denmon has a great season in China. After 20 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 36.9ppg (2nd best). He also has FGP: 52.8% and 3PT: 41.3%.

24-year old power forward Zhelin Wang (214-PF-94) had an amazing evening in the last round for Fujian S. and receives a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 41. He had a double-double of 37 points and 19 rebounds, while his team crushed Xinjiang FT (#5, 26-13) with 19-point margin 117-98. Fujian S. maintains the 7th position in Chinese league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Fujian S. will need more victories to improve their 23-17 record. In the team's last game Wang had a remarkable 61.9% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Fujian S., through which he has constantly improved. Wang has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 13.5rpg) and averages solid 1.5bpg and 54.9% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Kyle Fogg (190-PG-90) of Guangzhou LL. He is American guard in his second season at Guangzhou LL. In the last game Fogg recorded impressive triple-double of 46 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. Of course Guangzhou LL cruised to a 136-126 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Shanxi Z. (#14, 14-26). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Guangzhou LL managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 9th place. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 21-19 record is not bad and everything may still change. Fogg is well-known at Guangzhou LL and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 34.5ppg (#5). His other stats are also decent: 8.4rpg and 7.9apg.
Third place about best performers goes to guard Dominique Jones (193-G-88) of Jilin NE T. (#12). Jones got into 30-points club by scoring 40 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds and eleven assists. Despite Jones' great performance Jilin NE T. lost 123-124 to the lower-ranked Bayi R. (#17, 10-30). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Jilin NE T. ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 20 games, recording just nineteen victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Jones could help Jilin NE T. to bring them higher in the standings. Jones has a great season in China. After 39 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 8.0apg (5th best).
