In the fierce battle of Group J, three strong teams - Changchun Xidu, Linyi Red Arrow and Yingkou Transcend - all showed extraordinary strength.

The rules of the tournament are strict, and after three rounds of fierce competition, only the top two teams will emerge and advance to the next round. The top teams will then fight it out in the knockout rounds for a spot in the finals. So far, 14 teams have been selected from the other seven regions, and the remaining two seats in the Rizhao Region will be decided soon.
