Rizhao Longxin Secures Back-to-Back Titles in Yantai

The 2026 Shandong Three-on-Three Basketball League Yantai stop concluded on August 30, following a competitive weekend of high-intensity half-court action. Organized under the exclusive title sponsorship of Fuze Life, the tournament drew strong squads from across the region to the coastal city. Rizhao Longxin, fielding an optimized roster, continued their sharp form following an earlier victory at the Dezhou Leling stop to capture the Yantai division crown.

Core duo Donald and Qin Xuyang fueled the attack for the champions, combining for 21 points to carry Rizhao Longxin to the top of the podium. Liaocheng Zhongtian finished as the tournament runner-up, while Qingdao Yiqi Sports Rehabilitation claimed third place. The competition featured tight margins and physical defending, with multiple games extending to the final possessions under professional oversight from the Shandong Basketball Sports Association, which deployed professional referees alongside dedicated medical and athletic recovery support teams.

Roster Upgrades Raise Competition Standards

The Yantai division featured notable additions to several rosters, raising the competitive ceiling of the provincial tour. Liaocheng Zhongtian bolstered its paint presence by fielding foreign player Ihor, whose rugged Eastern European playing style anchored the team’s defensive interior. Meanwhile, Qingdao Yiqi Sports Rehabilitation added former NBL Hefei player Wang Yaofeng for his debut appearance with the club, injecting veteran court awareness into their pursuit of the division’s top honors.

Beyond the floor action, the event focused on community integration and commercial synergy, aligning with regional initiatives to promote grassroots sports participation. Organizers broadcast the matches live across all platforms via the official “Shandong Three-on-Three Basketball League” Douyin account and the Shandong Sports Leisure Channel, supplemented by real-time photo streaming to reach audiences outside the venue.
