CBA regular season, a focus match, the capital derby, Beijing men's basketball against Beikong men's basketball! If it were a complete team, Beijing's overall strength would definitely be stronger than Beikong's. However, with the absence of four main players - Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo, Lei Meng, and Chen Yingjun - the latter absolutely has the ability to fight back, or even stronger. Beijing is at a disadvantage; the team needs to defend their home court, and the performance of the outside shooters and foreign players is key - these two points cannot fail. Beikong needs to play at their true level, reduce unnecessary mistakes, and victory will naturally follow.
