QINGDAO, China, June 30 (Xinhua) -- With two big free throws, Jeremy Lin helped Beijing Ducks narrowly defeat Zhejiang Golden Bulls 92-90 in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league here on Tuesday.

Lin, scoring 17 points, received an inbounds pass and successfully drew a foul with 0.6 seconds remaining, and he mercilessly nailed the victory for Beijing at the free-throw line.

Both teams rallied in the last minutes and finished with five players in double figures, while Zhejiang's Wu Qian, who posted a game-high 22 points, failed to turn the tide with tough layups and jump shots.

Beijing opened the game aggressively on an 11-0 run, but Zhejiang cut the deficit to only one point through free throws in the first quarter and strengthened defense to tie the first half 44-44.

Beijing continued to fire up at the offensive end in the third quarter and displayed better ball movement to hold off an attack from their opponents, taking a four-point lead into the last period. Enditem
