Guangdong vs. Nanjing Preview: Hu Mingxuan May Return as Guangdong Seeks to Avoid Back-to-Back Losses, Nanjing Aims for an Upset

On October 27, the CBA regular season will see Guangdong host Nanjing.

Guangdong has a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, placing them 13th in the league. The team started the season with two consecutive losses but then went on to defeat strong opponents Qingdao and Xinjiang, securing a three-game winning streak. However, in their last game against Beijing, Guangdong fought until the final moments but ultimately lost 101-105. Despite this, Guangdong has gradually regained its form. Jiren Wate scored 28 points and 7 rebounds, while Barton added 16 points. Hu Mingxuan’s absence in this game also affected the team’s strength.

Guangdong recently signed Mo Land, the championship foreign player from Liaoning last season, which is a significant boost for the team. Mo Land’s addition will undoubtedly strengthen Guangdong. In addition to Mo Land, Hu Mingxuan, who became captain this season, is averaging 20.8 points and 5.8 assists per game. Jiren Wate is averaging 21.7 points, and Barton and Bezley are both contributing over 10 points per game. Overall, with Mo Land’s arrival, Guangdong is expected to improve further.

Nanjing Tongxi has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, ranking 9th in the league. While Nanjing’s good performance can be partly attributed to their favorable schedule, including two victories over Ningbo and wins against Shenzhen and Guangzhou, who have experienced significant roster changes, they have also shown impressive offensive firepower. In six games, they have scored over 120 points in three matches. Under the leadership of Xirelijian, Nanjing has demonstrated considerable attacking potential.

This season, Nanjing’s foreign player TJ Leaf is averaging 23.2 points and 12.7 rebounds, while Guo Haowen is contributing 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. Lin Wei is also performing well, averaging 18.7 points and 5.7 assists, and Zhao Baiqing has been notable this season. Additionally, Mudie and Zhu Mingzhen are both averaging over 10 points per game. However, Nanjing needs to face stronger opponents to test the true strength of their team.

In this matchup between Guangdong and Nanjing, Guangdong has the advantage of playing at home, and Hu Mingxuan is likely to return, giving them an additional edge. If the newly signed Mo Land can also play, it will further enhance Guangdong’s chances. Nanjing, on the other hand, has lost five consecutive games against Guangdong and faces a tough challenge to win on the road. They will likely focus on showcasing better performances from their young players.
