Teams Preview

Shanxi Loongs

Shanxi lost 92-84 against Liaoning in their last fixture. In that match they struggled with shooting consistency, finishing with a lower field goal percentage and allowing too many easy points near the basket. Even with the loss, Shanxi remain a solid offensive team this season, averaging 89.5 points per game. 

Their three-point shooting is one of their main strengths, making 37.1% from long range, which helps them score quickly when their guards find rhythm. Ball movement is also stable with 18.2 assists per game, showing they rely on team play instead of one scorer.

Shanxi look more reliable than their opponent, allowing 86.7 points per game and holding teams under 45% shooting. They also have a small rebounding advantage with 38.7 rebounds per game, which could be important in a balanced matchup like this. 

In the previous meeting against Beijing, Shanxi controlled the game with better defense and fewer turnovers. Playing at home should help their shooting and tempo, so they will try to slow the game and use their efficiency advantage. 

Beijing Royal Fighters

Beijing recorded a 106-98 win over Tianjin, where they showed good offensive flow and strong scoring from their backcourt. They shot around 50% from the field in that game and moved the ball well, finishing with high assist numbers. 

This season Beijing average 87.6 points per game, which is slightly lower than Shanxi, but still enough to stay competitive. Their offense depends a lot on perimeter shooting, and they attempt more than 21 three-point shots per game. However, their accuracy is only 33.5%, so when outside shots do not fall, their scoring becomes less stable.

The biggest problem for Beijing this season is defense. They allow 92.5 points per game, which is higher than Shanxi, and they also give opponents good shooting chances. Rebounding is another weak area, as they collect fewer total rebounds per game than Shanxi. 

In the last meeting between the teams, Beijing lost after allowing too many second chances. For this match they need better defense and fewer turnovers, otherwise it will be difficult to win on the road.
