My Prediction
Shandong Heroes by 9Let's dive into this Chinese Basketball Association matchup with our athletes facing off on the hardwood. Now, let's not kid ourselves here; the Shandong Heroes have historically had the Beijing Royal Fighters figured out. If we take a gaze at past matches, the Heroes have consistently edged out the Fighters. A touch sad for Beijing, but hey, you can't win them all - unless you're Shandong, it seems.
Speaking of athletes who have been consistently outperforming - Marquese Chriss and Jarmar Gulley from Shandong have been lighting it up on the court. Chriss, with his healthy 16.5 points per game and Gulley tagging close behind with 16 points per game over the past month, have been proven assets. Let's not disregard their other players – Shiyan Gao and Dallas Moore. These guys have been filling up the stat sheets and giving opponents a hard time.
Now, observed from Beijing's corner, they have some heavy hitters as well. Zhu Songwei has been hitting the board like a man possessed with 14.0 points and 11.0 rebounds per game last month. Zikai Meng and Sanning Liao have also been quite the duet, pairing up for a combined 29 points per game. I'd reckon any team would love to have guys like these on their side.
Looking at the recent games, well folks...oh, perhaps I shouldn't say that - let's just say the Fighters have had some turbulence lately; a mix of wins and losses, but nothing too drastic. The Shandong Heroes, however, have been striking their competitors down, minus that little stumble against the Flying Leopards.
Taking a peek at the regular season records and where they currently stand, the Heroes are feasibly a few strides ahead of the Fighters. In the grand scheme of things, performance is what it boils down to. For Shandong, they've done a solid job in executing their game plan.
So when it's all said and done, the takeaway from all this should be quite clear.
Albert’s Prediction: Shandong Heroes by 9.
