My Prediction
Zhejiang Guangsha Lions by 18
Let's talk about this upcoming fracas between the Ningbo Rockets and the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions. Look at the Rockets, a team that’s been struggling to catch a break or even a ball for that matter. Sure, they've got some serious talent on deck with Ronald March and Munger Martion owning the court last month, but the team's performance has been about as impressive as a squirrel water skiing. It’s been quite the damper on their season with a 10-34 win loss record, landing them in a solid 17th position. Hey, at least they’re not in 18th, right?
Now, let's shift gears to the Lions, easily one of the prides of the league--pun absolutely intended. Barry Brown and Jinqiu Hu have dominated last month, but hey when you're resting comfortably atop the standings at 37-7, everything might as well be a dunk contest. For those keeping track at home, that's a number one spot you’re looking at.
Those who can read the hieroglyphics of past games will notice that our dear Rockets have performed as well as a deer in headlights in face-offs with the Lions. Calling these past matchups "lopsided" would be a compliment to the Rockets.
In the latest circuit, the Rockets only managed to spit out sparks against teams from Tianjin to Beijing, while the Lions have been roaring along, marking their territory with win after win.
Surely, it would take a minor miracle, preferably one involving five loaves, two fish, and a last-minute appendectomy for their star player, for the Ningbo Rockets to cause much of an upset. The Lions are simply displaying too much teeth in defense and too much swagger on offense.
So, without further ado:
