Xinjiang Flying Tigers by 12
Hang on to your seats, we're in for a wild ride with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls visiting the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
First and foremost, the Golden Bulls have got some peculiar case to their advantage. Players like Wenbo Lu and Qian Wu are mysteriously floating infinity stats for this season - quite frankly, I've never seen anything like this and pardon me while I go question my life decisions in sports commentary. But hey, all silliness aside, the Bulls aren't shining bright recently - a lukewarm 7-4 record in the regular season places them at a middling 9th spot in the CBA.
On the other hand, the Xinjiang Flying Tigers have come out swinging with a record of 9-2. They've placed themselves at a comfortable 4th spot, and if this isn't enough, let's peek at their lineup. Featuring QJ Peterson who's been on fire with an average of 29 points per game last month, and Dedric Lawson who’s been rebounding like a demon with 13 per game, the Tigers seem more than equipped to tackle the challenge ahead.
Let's not forget history either. Past matchups between these teams paint quite the picture - the Flying Tigers leading with 4 out of 5 games in their favor. And recent performances suggest Tigers have the edge too - dropping games? They don’t know her.
So, bets on the Golden Bulls might be a roll of the dice you waggle at the poker night to impress pals sans the actual hope of winning. Save yourself some heartache folks, the future seems clear here.
