Teams Preview

Shanxi Loongs

Shanxi come into this one 10th at 4–5, and the latest results shown indicate they’ve struggled to finish games against stronger opponents. Their last five reads L vs Guangzhou (74–70), L vs Shandong (88–78), L vs Guangdong (95–89), L vs Qingdao (88–81), and W vs Nanjing Tongxi (103–77).

The encouraging part is that Shanxi have shown they can still produce a high-level two-way performance, as seen in the 103–77 win over Nanjing Tongxi. At home in Taiyuan, they’ll want to turn this into a physical, controlled game where they can build a lead through defensive possessions rather than trading runs.

Shanxi also have a clear target: punish a Jiangsu side that has been held under 80 in multiple recent defeats shown. If Shanxi win the first quarter and keep the pace steady, they can keep pressure on a Dragons team that’s short on confidence right now.

Jiangsu Dragons

Jiangsu arrive 18th at 1–8, and the standings snapshot shows they’ve had a difficult start to the season. Their last five results shown are L vs Ningbo Rockets (84–79), L vs Qingdao (83–76), L vs Nanjing Tongxi (99–81), L vs Shanghai (84–68), and W vs Tianjin (88–84).

The 88–84 win over Tianjin is the one positive indicator in that run, showing Jiangsu can still execute late when the game stays within one or two possessions. The issue has been consistency: four straight losses afterward suggest they haven’t been able to carry that level across games.

To steal a road win in Taiyuan, Jiangsu need to make this ugly—slow the game down, value every possession, and avoid the scoring droughts that have shown up in losses like 84–68 and 79–84. If they can keep Shanxi out of rhythm early, the head-to-head record shows they’ve been capable of springing results against this opponent before.
