Jiangsu VS Shanghai Preview: Wilson Leads the Team to Aim for Victory – Can an All-Chinese Jiangsu Avoid Another Loss?

At 15:30 on September 22, the CBA preseason games in Xuzhou continue with Jiangsu men’s basketball team facing off against Shanghai men’s basketball team.

The domestic lineup of Shanghai men’s basketball team has not changed much during this offseason, with most key players from last season remaining. They have also added young talents such as Liu Lijia and Xie Liyongwei. In terms of foreign players, they have all been replaced, with DJ Wilson, Brian Biyombo, and Waters joining the team. The latter two have proven themselves in the CBA, while Wilson, a first-round pick in the NBA draft, has shown good form in previous friendlies and preseason games.

In the first two preseason games, Shanghai men’s basketball team had one win and one loss, narrowly defeating Shandong by three points in the first game, but suffering a 17-point defeat to Zhejiang Chouzhou in the second. For this preseason tournament, Waters and Biyombo have not joined the team yet, and Wang Zhelin is also sitting out, so the team is not fully assembled. Wilson scored 14 points and 8 rebounds in the first game, and 15 points and 15 rebounds in the second. Yan Pengfei recorded a double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds against Zhejiang.

The changes to Jiangsu men’s basketball team’s lineup during the offseason were also minimal, mostly adding some drafted players and young talents, retaining the original squad from last season. The foreign players have all been replaced, but they have not yet joined the team. In the first two preseason games, Jiangsu played with an all-Chinese roster and performed poorly, losing by 25 points to Zhejiang Chouzhou in the first game and by 18 points to Shandong in the second. Without foreign players, the team’s overall strength is limited.

Cui Xiaolong is the absolute core of the current all-Chinese Jiangsu team, scoring the highest 17 points in the first game and 21 points in the second game, which was still the highest. Zheng Qilong, returning from the NBL, performed well against Shandong with 16 points and 7 rebounds. In terms of strength, even if Shanghai’s lineup is incomplete, Jiangsu’s all-Chinese team still has very limited strength, making it difficult to avoid a third consecutive loss.
