This season, with the decline of the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team and the 11-time champion Guangdong men's basketball team, the league has changed from a one-superior and multi-strong to this season's hegemony among many heroes, not only the strength of each team has become more and more balanced, but also the games have become more and more exciting. Here comes another peak showdown, and CCTV5 will broadcast it live, but I don't know if Zhou Qi can hold back the opponent's super center.
This peak showdown is Guangsha men's basketball team vs Beijing men's basketball team. Why is it called a peak showdown? This season, if there is any team that has the championship potential, Guangsha men's basketball team is absolutely not to be underestimated. They have won 23 victories and 4 losses, ranking first in the CBA standings. This season, Guangsha men's basketball team has both offensive and defensive capabilities, with an offensive efficiency of 118.4, ranking fourth in the league, and a defensive efficiency of 104.4, ranking first in the league. The team not only has national players such as Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, and Zhu Junlong, but also introduced foreign aid that belongs to the top level of the league.
First of all, there is Xiaobali Brown, who is 196cm tall and averages 36.8 minutes per game this season, averaging 26.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.8 steals, with a shooting percentage of 46% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.6%. This small foreign aid is very strong and fits well with Guangsha team. In the game against Liaoning, he scored 41 points alone, leading the team to a big victory over their opponents. In addition, Guangsha also signed Knight and Carlton, and recently strengthened the 224cm super center Boban. Boban played average in the NBA, but in the CBA with lower intensity, slower speed, and no three-second defense, his power is definitely remarkable, and he is likely to be an inside powerhouse.
On the Beijing men's basketball side, with the arrival of Zhou Qi and Chen Yingjun this season, the team directly strengthened the previously weak inside and outside lines, greatly improving their strength, and recently achieved a three-game winning streak, with a strong momentum. This season, Beijing men's basketball team has an offensive efficiency of 115.6, ranking sixth in the league, and a defensive efficiency of 108.6, ranking fifth in the league, which is equally strong. This time facing Guangsha men's basketball team, they will face a huge challenge. Why is this so? First of all, Beijing team has been plagued by injuries during this period. Chen Yingjun is suspected of being tripped and needs a long time to return to the court. Zeng Fanbo also missed the game against Ningbo. It is unknown whether he will return against Guangsha, so Zhou Qi will definitely have to take on more responsibility when facing Guangsha.
This season, Zhou Qi has been playing intermittently in Beijing, playing only 10 games in total, averaging 23.9 minutes per game, scoring 12.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 56%. The data looks good, but compared to his peak period, there is a huge gap. Facing Boban, who is 224cm tall in the next game, it is unknown how Zhou Qi will perform. His performance may directly determine the outcome of the game in the absence of Chen Yingjun (averaging ten or so points is definitely not enough).
It is reported that the game will start at 7:35 pm tonight, and Guangsha men's basketball team has already won 14 consecutive home victories. Who do you think will win the game?
