With the CBA regular season in the books, the league took a break to honour the best players of the season over the weekend before the playoffs shift into high gear. The CBA All-Star game, pitting team North against Team South, was played in Guanzhou on Sunday. Beijing guard Stephon Marbury was the captain of the North, and made it look easy early on getting to the rack early for the lay-in. Fellow former NBA-er Aaron Brooks put on a passing clinic in this game, but here the alley-oop from Wang Shipeng, is just a tad too high for the guard. Later in the first, Brooks, showing some off his skills with a great move and better feed to Zhu Fangyu. Zhu, with the finish as the South took an early four point lead. Next trip down the court for South, more from Brooks - this time breaking down the defence. Brooks and the South would head into half-time with a 62-48 lead. The best from Brooks though, perhaps right here as he goes around the back to veteran Chinese center Wang Zhizhi. Wang, making his 14th appearance in a CBA All-Star game and seventh as a starter. The 35 year old would finish with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, going a perfect 7-7 from the field, including a trio of three-pointers. Despite holding the lead for most of the game...the North would turn the tables in the fourth, erasing the South's lead. And their charge would be led by Chinese forward Li Gen of Qingdao. He ended the night with 31 points to earn the All-Star Game MVP as the North, beat the South 122-112.
