Zhejiang Guangsha Lions by 13
I've been pouring over the numbers, folks. You've got the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions and the Shanxi Loongs heading into this face-off and it's an interesting one. Past encounters show a fiery face-off every time these teams meet. However, the lions, to be frank, have been doing a whole lot more roaring. The lions have stepped over the Loongs three times in their last five games, with pretty comfortable margins, too - oh, and that includes one spec-tac-ular drubbing of 111-78. I mean, that's just uncivilized, if you ask me.
Now, the regular season records? The lions have been next to impeccable, 31-4, they're practically bathing in wins. The Loongs are not far behind at 26-9, but they do trail. Recently, Shanxi lost a vital match against the Shanghai Sharks, which, might I add, is a bit inconceivable. Zhejiang? They've stayed cleaner than a whistle, romping home to victory in their past matches against their respective opponents, leaving quite the impressive path of destruction in their wake.
When it comes to positions in the standings, well, let's just say if this was a game of king of the hill, Zhejiang has got the flag flying high and the sun shining bright on them. They're #1 with the Loongs chasing their tail at #2.
Let's encase all this data in carbonite, slide it into a cannon, and fire it at a crystal ball to see who comes out on top. The outcome?
