Sichuan vs. Guangsha Preview: Four Consecutive Losses Face Four Consecutive Wins, Sichuan’s Struggling Momentum Hard to Stop Guangsha

On October 21, the 5th round of the CBA regular season continues with Sichuan hosting Guangsha.

Sichuan’s performance in the new season has been extremely poor, failing to win any of their first four games and suffering a four-game losing streak, placing them at the bottom of the league. In these four matches, Sichuan has lost by double digits in each game, giving up an average of 111.8 points per game, indicating a very weak defense. Besides the inability to contain opponents on defense, Sichuan’s offense has also struggled to create trouble for their opponents, scoring less than 100 points in three out of four games. It seems that this season they are heading towards the position of the league’s worst team again.

The domestic players of Sichuan Basketball Team have average capabilities. This summer, they selected internet celebrity player Yang Zheng, but unfortunately, he has not passed the physical test and is unable to represent the team, reducing the team’s exposure. On the foreign player front, however, they have shown decent competitiveness. Sumner averages 31 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6 assists per game, Maric averages 20 points and 9.3 rebounds, while Hunter lags behind with only 9.8 points per game. Among the domestic players, only one has averaged double-digit scoring over the four games, Li Jinxiao, who averages 12 points and 5.3 rebounds, while other players still lack the necessary strength.

In contrast, Guangsha Basketball Team has had a very strong start to the new season, winning all four of their opening games and achieving a four-game winning streak, making them one of the four teams that remain undefeated. In their last game against Tongxi, Guangsha did not give their opponent any chance to counterattack, winning 108-81. In that game, the two foreign players, Brown scored 31 points and 8 rebounds, Knight scored 30 points and 14 rebounds, Hu Jinqiu contributed 16 points and 8 rebounds, and Sun Minghui added 9 points and 11 assists. So far, Guangsha has shown excellent performance on both offense and defense, with three-point shooting being their key weapon, averaging 12.5 three-pointers per game with a league-leading 42.7% accuracy.

Compared to Sichuan, Guangsha has a significant advantage in domestic players. Hu Jinqiu averages 24.5 points and 8 rebounds over four games, while Sun Minghui averages 15.3 points and 11 assists, and these two core players are crucial to the team’s success. On the foreign player front, Guangsha has also made significant progress. Brown averages 29.8 points and 7 assists per game with a three-point shooting accuracy of 52.6%; Knight averages 17 points and 10.8 rebounds, and Carlton averages 13 points and 10 rebounds.

This is the first meeting between the two teams this season, and their momentum is currently at opposite ends. Sichuan is suffering from a four-game losing streak, while Guangsha is on a four-game winning streak. Whether in terms of momentum or strength, Sichuan is at a disadvantage, and it will be difficult for them to pose a challenge to Guangsha this time.
