December 16th, Beijing - After five months, the sixth edition of Sina 3x3 Golden League (SGL) 2020 is going to launch its grand finale on December 17th - 20th, 2020 this weekend at Sunac Resort in Wuxi, Jiangsu. The SGL 2020 Finals press conference and draw ceremony were held this afternoon. 46 SGL champion teams and two wild cards will compete for over US$250,000 prize money in the upcoming event this weekend.

The fierce competition has filtered out many strong teams and some of the best remain, featuring last year’s SGL National Champion Shangshi Longchuang, Macau’s professional 3x3 basketball club Black Bears, as well as many elite basketballers such as CJ Trent, the former CBA player of Xinjiang Flying Tigers and Hailiang Xiao, the gold medalist of Asian Games 2018.

The three day event will be fully streamed domestically over 10 digital platforms including Sina Sports, Weibo, Douyin, etc. as well as the official @Sina 3x3 Facebook page, @sgl3x3 Twitter account, and @sina 3x3 YouTube channel internationally.

As the Covid-19 pandemic sweeps through all over the world, China became one of the first few countries that managed to stabilize the overall situation and allow public events to take place. Regardless the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Chinese economy, Sina 3x3 Golden League secured Guangqi Honda as the Premium Sponsor and renew its partnerships with Qiaodan Sports and Sunac Resort.

Delayed by the Covid-19, Sina Golden League, the largest 3x3 basketball tournament in the world successfully resumed its 2020 edition in late-June. Covering a total of 101 cities in China with estimated 40,000 players in about 10,000 teams, the event has been strengthening its public health protocols to counter the Covid-19 threat and protect the safety of players, fans, and event officials.
