Guangdong vs Beijing Preview: Hu Mingxuan Leads Three Foreign Players, Zhou Qi Misses Match Against Former Team

On October 25, the CBA regular season continues with Guangdong hosting Beijing. Guangdong has secured a three-game winning streak and is showing signs of resurgence. Beijing, on the other hand, is on a five-game winning streak and remains one of the few undefeated teams in the league. Here are the head-to-head statistics:

Historically, Beijing BAC and Guangdong Dongguang have met 85 times, with Beijing BAC recording 31 wins and 54 losses.

Last season, the two teams faced each other four times, with Beijing BAC failing to win any of those matches (0-4).

In the new season, Guangdong has undergone significant personnel changes. With the departure of players like Zhou Qi, Wei Mos, and Waters, younger players have taken on more prominent roles. The additions of Jilin Water, Bazley, and Barton have bolstered the team. Despite losing their first two games against Shanxi and Shandong, Guangdong has adjusted its starting lineup and won three consecutive games against Qingdao, Xinjiang, and Fujian.

Key performances by Guangdong’s core players include:

Hu Mingxuan: In the regular season so far, he has played 4 games, averaging 37.0 minutes per game, scoring 20.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists.

Jilin Water: He has played 5 games in the regular season, averaging 24.8 minutes per game, scoring 20.4 points and 5.6 rebounds.

Barton: He has played 5 games in the regular season, averaging 28.8 minutes per game, scoring 15.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.8 assists.

Facing Beijing at home, Guangdong will be up against a team that is considered a strong contender for the championship this season. The ability of Guangdong’s frontcourt to withstand the impact of Solomon, Qiu Tian, and Fan Ziming will be crucial for victory. Jilin Water has been in excellent form over the past three games, and Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie can also step up to solve problems. Notably, Hu Mingxuan received a rest before the match against Beijing, and his performance as a core guard, along with Chen Yingjun, is highly anticipated.

Beijing has been very strong in their last five games, defeating popular teams like Shanghai and Xinjiang, and securing large victories against Guangzhou, Sichuan, and Ningbo. Given that Zhou Qi has not yet returned, this Beijing team is not yet at its full strength. A matchup against a traditional powerhouse like Guangdong provides a comprehensive test of their capabilities.

Key performances by Beijing’s core players include:

Jerman: In the regular season so far, he has played 5 games, averaging 28.4 minutes per game, scoring 15.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 7.0 assists.

Chen Yingjun: He has played 5 games in the regular season, averaging 28.6 minutes per game, scoring 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists.

Zhang Cairen: He has played 5 games in the regular season, averaging 26.6 minutes per game, scoring 12.2 points and 3.6 rebounds.

Beijing’s rebounding prowess is among the best in the league. Utilizing their height and physicality to dominate the paint against Guangdong will be key to their success. Chen Yingjun, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Zeng Fanbo all had outstanding performances in the series against Xinjiang, and fans can look forward to Beijing maintaining their five-game winning streak.
