Teams Preview

Sichuan Blue Whales

Sichuan sit 20th at 0–11, and the last five results shown underline the size of the challenge: they’ve been consistently beaten and, in some games, pulled apart by large margins. That context changes their approach—rather than chasing a perfect performance, Sichuan’s best path is to play with structure, keep the game close, and create scoreboard pressure late.

The practical focus is on cutting “free points.” If Sichuan can reduce transition leaks and long scoring droughts, they give themselves a chance to turn the crowd into a factor and test Beijing’s composure in the fourth quarter.

The head-to-head snapshot also provides a mental hook. Sichuan have taken this matchup before, so if they can string together a strong start and keep it within a couple of possessions, belief can replace desperation—and that’s usually the first step toward breaking a winless run.

Beijing Royal Fighters

Beijing Royal Fighters arrive 16th at 4–7 in the standings, which makes this a “bank the points” road trip more than a spectacle game. Their last five shown include two wins but also three losses, and the defeat at Tianjin shows what happens if they allow a game to become loose and momentum-led.

The mission is to keep control—especially early. If the Royal Fighters defend with discipline, avoid gifting Sichuan easy runs, and build a steady lead, they can turn this into a professional road win rather than a late-game scramble.

Still, the head-to-head list warns against complacency. Sichuan have upset them in recent seasons, so Beijing Royal Fighters need a sharp opening, strong bench minutes, and reliable execution late to ensure they don’t become the opponent that ends Sichuan’s losing streak.

Sichuan welcome Beijing Royal Fighters on January 8 (17:05) at Sichuan Provincial Gymnasium (Chengdu), with a bottom-side Sichuan still searching for their first win. Beijing Royal Fighters arrive with more to protect in the table, but their recent form shows inconsistency—meaning the visitors can’t afford a flat start.

The standings gap (4–7 vs 0–11) and the head-to-head lean make the visitors the safer pick, but their mixed form shown means they’ll need to be serious from tip-off to avoid a dangerous late-game scenario.
