Zhejiang Guangsha Lions by 11
Talk about a nail-biter folks...oh wait, I'm not supposed to start with that... anyway, moving on to this colossal matchup between the Beijing Ducks and the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions. We're in game five of a best-of-five series, the air's electrified, and the Lions are coming in strong, having snatched majority of the past matchups against the Ducks. However, let's not keep the Ducks out of the limelight just yet, after all they've put a spotlight-worthy team together.
When analyzing the Ducks, we see Eugene German carving up the court with an average of 21.1 points per game, while Zhou Qi bounces back with 15 points and a solid 10.2 rebounds. And let's not forget Yingjun Chen averaging 18.4 points per game. They've had a rough ride recently, but you know what they say about wounded Ducks... something about them still being able to swim, no?
On the other side, we have the Lions prowling up, with Barry Brown driving the scoreboard, dropping 29.1 points per game, he'll be hard to cage. Jinqiu Hu isn't slacking either with a daily average of 22.4 points and a solid 7 rebounds. Minghui Sun is just sprinkling stardust with 16.7 points each game.
Regular season records? The Ducks waddled through with a respectful 32 wins to 14 losses, though the Lions roared to supremacy with 39 wins and only 7 losses, positioning them top tier in the CBA 24/25 Standings. But in this arena, it's the playoffs that matter, where the Ducks trail the Lions 3-1.
Given the players' performance and series record, I can safely say that my money would be on... oh wait, I'm not betting. But let's hypothetically assume...no, not making assumptions either. Alright, let's cut to the chase.
