Teams Preview

Shanxi Loongs

Shanxi Zhongyu extended their winning run in the CBA playoffs with a narrow victory over Zhejiang. It was their third straight playoff victory. They recently knocked out the Qingdao Eagles in the first round of the playoffs. They tied the game through a three-pointer with 1:25 left in the game and then hit a two-pointer with four seconds left. It was their first road victory against the Lions this season. They will now eye one more surprise victory to take a 2-0 lead. 

Shanxi beat Zhejiang earlier in the home game this year, including a victory in the CBA Club Cup. With a 3-1 advantage in the current season, the Loongs will eye an important victory in Game 2. It's rare when a team overcomes a 2-0 deficit and wins the series in the CBA quarterfinals. The home advantage of Shanxi would surely give them an advantage. The Loongs went 14-7 at home arena this season. 

The hosts ended the regular season with two straight wins and now, added three consecutive wins in playoffs. They posted a 22-20 record in the regular season. The Loongs averaged 92.8 points per game and allowed 90.4 points per game. Shanxi are fifth in the three-point shooting (36.4%) and seventh in the field goals (47.5%). Hamidou Diallo could be an offensive threat in the upcoming game. The American guard averaged 16.3 in the regular season. We back him to score 15 or more points in the upcoming game.

Zhejiang Lions

Zhejiang Guangsha Lions are back to Game 2 against Shanxi Loongs in the CBA playoffs. Both sides are facing each other in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs. Guangsha lost the opening playoff game 90-92. Shanxi got a decisive two-pointer with four seconds left and assured a victory. Zhejiang won their final three games of the regular season and finished at number two in the CBA standings. They posted a 33-9 record in the regular season.  

Zhejiang had just one defeat out of 21 matches before hosting the Loongs in Game 1. However, they slipped in the final minute. The Lions will get two more home games in the series.
