Zhejiang Guangsha Lions by 3
Ladies and gents, strap in for a mammoth face-off in the CBA Quarter-finals as the Qingdao Eagles are locking horns with the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions. The Lions, positioning themselves at the apex of the CBA 24/25, are pitted against the resilient Eagles standing at #8.
Is this David vs Goliath? The Eagles are soaring in brighter than an 80s disco ball, boasting a battalion of formidable players. Quinndary Weatherspoon is a scoring, rebounding, and assisting machine; he's got the playoffs juice of 22.4 points per game, 7.6 rebounds, and 9.2 assists. The guy's on fire! Other starry Nuggets include Jordan Mickey and Hansen Yang.
Over to the Lions' den, Barry Brown roaring with 29.7 points per game, backed by Minghui Sun and Jinqiu Hu, are quintessential for a robust Lions' challenge.
So, how have they fared previously? Their past encounters would thrill a rollercoaster enthusiast. It's neck and neck, folks; the Lions managed to barely scratch past the Eagles 110-108 in their last outing.
Now, the recent results tell a tale of drama, dunks, and delectable delivers. The Lions were victorious in the last head-to-head, but a couple of defeats against the Eagles in the mix shake things up.
Keeping all these savory basketball tidbits in mind, it looks like these Lions are geared up to prowl over the Eagles' dreams of a quarter-finals upset. We're eyeing a tight finish here, folks. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade might have less tension than this game.
