As usual, we start the overview with the strongest league of the game - World league 1.1
It is the fifth season in a row when we have the same two finalists - wudiwen and Basketballers. 
wudiwen once again gained the best team title - the series was won with 3-1 result. 

In the fight for bronze medal we have a new team! This was the first time when HP tóng zǐ jī club fought for the medal. However one of the most experienced teams in the game - CP Company - added another medal to their trophy collection! 

Some statistics about players’ strength of these teams (average strength in the World league’s matches):
1st - Jinan University - 334 RT  (21st place in the final standings)
2nd - wudiwen - 332 RT
3rd - Basketballers - 331 RT
5th - HP tóng zǐ jī - 330RT
20th - CP Company - 321RT

CP Company, as usually, does not have the strongest team by RT but achieves great results. Well done!


National U18 this season ended a bit differently compared to the previous seasons. 
Probably nobody was surprised to find out that the two finalists were China and Lithuania. The strongest team in the championship - China - easily won the final by 15 points difference.

A bit more interesting and unexpected was the fight for bronze medals. The match took place between Italy (last medal won in 60th season) and Spain (no medals won in U18 tournaments). After a defence based match, Spain won their first medals!
It is nice to see that in the recent seasons Spanish community is getting bigger and stronger!

National Men tournament reminded everybody the current power balance in the game. 
The four strongest countries fought for the medals. The tournament took place in Lithuania.
The final took place between the two strongest BasketPulse countries - Lithuania and China. 40 minutes was not enough to find out what is the strongest country in the game. After an overtime the match was won by China's national team. 
The fight for bronze took place between USA and Argentina. USA national team - after 6 empty tournaments - came home with bronze medals again!

All three main tournaments of this season were won by the teams from China! China continues dominating in BasketPulse.
