Oh, what a matchup we have on our hands, dear friends. The smell of anticipation, or is it dread, is in the air as the Jiangsu Dragons take on the Shenzhen Leopards.
The Jiangsu Dragons, a team that, unfortunately, appears to have gone extinct. The top players for the Dragons, including the likes of Terquavion Smith and Xiaolong Cui, have recorded an awe-inspiring 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, and 0.0 assists per game last month. Really something to write home about.
On the sparkling, radiant side of the court, we have the Shenzhen Leopards. When I say sparkling, I mean their players like Reggie Perry and Thomas Heurtel who are putting up numbers that would make most grandmothers blush. Perry has been particularly impressive, boasting 40.0 points per game, 9.0 rebounds per game, and 3.0 assists per game last month. Let's not forget about Heurtel's performance either - averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. He's definitely someone to keep an eye on.
Let's roll back the tape and have a glance at the past matchups between these two teams. The Dragons had a challenging history to say the least, with all their previous games resulting in losses to the Leopards. It doesn't bode well for them, does it?
Looking at the recent games for both teams, well, it doesn't paint a rosy picture either. With the Dragons losing out in recent games, and the Leopards also having their fair share of losses. The standings have them placed 19th and 18th in the CBA, respectively.
But at the end of the day, we can laugh, we can cry, but we can't deny the numbers. So, let's slide our prediction into the envelope...
