27-year old Nigerian center Blessing Ejiofor (196-C-1998) had an amazing evening in the last round for Fujian Zoten and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
She had a double-double of 32 points and 22 rebounds, while her team crushed, the league's bottom-ranked team Ganzhou (#6, 0-6) with 19-point margin 95-76. Fujian Nanan maintains the 5th position in their group in the Chinese WCBA. Fujian Z. is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-4 record. In the team's last game Ejiofor had a remarkable 63.2% from 2-point range. She turned to be Fujian Nanan's top player in her first season with the team. West Virginia University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Ejiofor is in league's top in rebounds (7th best: 9.4rpg).

Second best performed player last round was Chennedy Carter (175-PG-1998) of Shanghai Baoshan Dahua Swordfish. She is American guard in her first season at Shanghai. In the last game Carter recorded an impressive 31 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course she led Swordfish to another comfortable win outscoring slightly lower-ranked Hebei (#10, 1-5) 107-80. Shanghai's 8th position in Group A has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-4 record. Carter is a newcomer at Shanghai and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 28.3ppg (#1). Her other stats are also decent: 4.5rpg and 4.8apg.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Jaime Nared (188-G-1995) of league's second-best Hefei. Nared showcased her all-around game by recording 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. She was a key player of Hefei, leading her team to a 78-58 easy win against #4 ranked Xiamen in a game of the week. Hefei needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in Group B. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 2 lost games. Nared has a very solid season. In 5 games in China she scored 18.2ppg.
