Zhejiang Guangsha Lions by 3
Let's search for a pearl in this oyster of a matchup, Game 6 of the CBA finals between the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions and the Beijing Ducks. The Lions are currently leading the series 3-2 after a rather consistent season where they found themselves at the top of the standings. Notably, the Lions have Barry Brown posting an impressive average of 29.1 points per game. Complementing Brown, we've seen noteworthy performances from Jinqiu Hu and Minghui Sun, chipping in bucketfuls of points.
Turning the spotlight to the Beijing Ducks, they stand as underdogs here but there's potential for them to ruffle some feathers. Led by Eugene German, who's been making the scoresheet sing with 21.1 points per game, and solid support from Zhou Qi and Fanbo Zeng, the squad has a balanced attack which might make heads turn.
In looking at the recent head-to-head, it hasn't been a walk in the park for either team, each proving they can wound the other. While the previous matchups have frequently gone the Lions' way, the Ducks squeezed by in their last meeting with a 2-point win, hinting at the potential for a serious duck fight.
Considering there's more than just pride at stake, let's not forget the consistency shown by the Lions and their current lead in the finals series. However, given the Ducks' recent resurgence and the outstanding play of Eugene German, there's every possibility we might see an upset. Folks, polishing my crystal ball isn't my day job, but if I were a betting man, I'd expect a tight game with the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions just about edging it.
