My Prediction
Xinjiang Flying Tigers by 32Dabbling into the sweet flavors of Chinese Basketball Association action here, with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers poised for an away game against the Ningbo Rockets. Now, the matchup itself brings memories of thrilling encounters, if thrilling means watching Xinjiang ripping through Ningbo without a hint of mercy in the past five outings.
The Flying Tigers maintain an impressive 24-10 regular season record that would impress even my mother-in-law. Our friends, the Rockets, sulk at the depths below with an 8-27 score for the same. Now, while some might say there's room for a surprise, the chances of that happening seem as likely as finding an enjoyable tooth extraction.
Previewing some recent games, Xinjiang has been as tuneful as a well-orchestrated symphony, only hitting a sour note against the Shenzhen Leopards. The Ningbo Rockets, they've been more like a cat yowling at midnight. In more sportsmanlike terms: they've been unfortunate in their recent endeavors, losing all their five previous matches.
Let's not forget their ranks. Xinjiang is lounging in the respectable #8 spot while Ningbo squat at #16.
So, my friends, if you're depositing faith in Ningbo's vault, let's hope for you it comes with a complimentary wish-granting fairy. I wouldn't put a dime there.
