Two-time defending champion Beijing Greatwall swept Shanxi Flame 82-55 in game two of the championship series at home on Monday.
Beijing beat Shanxi 84-81 in game one of WCBA final last week, and took an important step toward realizing their dream of three consecutive titles.
Early in the opening quarter in game two, Shao Ting extend Beijing's lead to 4.
Shanxi was trying to play catch up and move the ball inside to center Jonquel Jones, who finished underneath.
But the hosts were in control, and double their opposition's total, taking a 42-21 lead.
Shanxi held on a 15-4 run and close the gap, but the defending champs went on a spurt themselves, thanks to former Finals MVP Sylvia Folwes, who finished the fast break.
Beijing won the second game in 82-55 and they are only one match away to grab their third title in a row.
