The 33rd round of the CBA league is in full swing, and the second stage of the competition is about to end, with each team having only two games left. Tonight, the CBA league has prepared six matches for fans, including Sichuan vs Shanghai, Fujian vs Jilin, Nanjing Tongxi vs Guangdong, Beijing Shougang vs Zhejiang Guangsha, Shanxi vs Guangzhou, and Xinjiang vs Qingdao.
Among these six matches, there are strong matchups, strong vs weak dialogues, and even some that could be considered as "chicken fights." Of course, what fans enjoy watching the most are undoubtedly the strong matchups, and three of these matches are particularly noteworthy.
The match between Beijing Shougang and Zhejiang Guangsha is undoubtedly the most anticipated. Zhejiang Guangsha is currently ranked first, while Beijing Shougang is ranked ninth. Although there is a significant difference in rankings, the gap in strength between the two teams is relatively small.
In their previous encounter, Zhejiang Guangsha won at home, and it is reported that Zeng Fanbo, who has been absent for a long time, will return from injury for this match, along with Zhou Qi being able to play again. Therefore, this match is sure to be very exciting. During the offseason, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao from Zhejiang Guangsha were rumored to be interested in joining Beijing Shougang, which adds an interesting element to the matchup between the two teams.
The match between Nanjing Tongxi and Guangdong is also very intriguing. Since the New Year's Day battle in 2025, Guangdong has achieved an eight-game winning streak, and they are expected to achieve a nine-game winning streak in this away game against Nanjing Tongxi.
The focus of fans' attention is on Xu Jie's recovery from his injury. In the last game against Fujian, Xu Jie's wrist was clearly injured, making shooting difficult, but he still contributed 13 assists. Will Nanjing Tongxi take advantage of Xu Jie's inability to shoot in this home game?
The match between Qingdao and Xinjiang is also very interesting. This time, Xinjiang is playing at home and facing the challenge from Qingdao. Yang Hanshen lost to Zhou Qi in the last game, so can he save face against Li Yanze's defense in this game?
In the previous game, Zhao Rui's performance was significantly better than Guo Ailun's. Whether Zhao Rui can continue his hot form against Qingdao will also be a major point of interest.
The match between Sichuan and Shanghai will see if Shanghai can bounce back. This is a strong vs weak matchup, and after losing to Shanxi in the away game, Shanghai is expected to regain its footing against Sichuan.
The match between Shanxi and Guangzhou is also a strong vs weak matchup. Shanxi is currently ranked second, and they are expected to achieve another big win at home against the weaker Guangzhou team.
Fans are more concerned about whether Guo Ailun from Guangzhou will travel to Shanxi for the away game. In his two comeback games, his performance was not good, scoring 0 points and 6 points in consecutive games, indicating a complete loss of offensive ability. Can he recover his form against Shanxi?
The match between Fujian and Jilin should not be very interesting, as both teams are weak in the CBA league. Currently, Fujian is ranked last in the CBA league, and Jilin is also ranked sixth from the bottom. Both teams have already lost hope of making the playoffs, so this match will likely just be a formality.
All the matches tonight will start at 19:35, and it is believed that fans will be overwhelmed by the choices, not knowing which match to watch. It is expected that most fans will pay more attention to the match between Beijing Shougang and Zhejiang Guangsha, which will also be broadcast live on CCTV5.
