Zhejiang VS Tianjin Preview: Can Zhejiang Extend Their Winning Streak as They Recover Form? Will Tianjin End Their Losing Streak?

At 15:30 on August 26th, in the CBA Summer League Yumin Station, Zhejiang Chouzhou will face off against Tianjin.

Zhejiang Chouzhou men’s basketball team has played six summer league games so far, and only won their first victory in the summer league with a big win over Nanjing in their last game. Of course, the poor record of Zhejiang men’s basketball is related to the incomplete lineup of the team. Cheng Shaipeng and Yu Jiahao are currently training with the national team, Lu Wenbo participated in the Olympic 3-on-3 basketball competition, while Wu Qian, Wang Yibo, and other main players once went to Yunnan to participate in the City Challenge Tournament. The team was mainly composed of young players.

In the last game against Nanjing, key players such as Wu Qian, Liu Zeyi, Wang Yibo, and Wang Zailu returned to the team, significantly enhancing the team’s combat effectiveness. They eventually won by a margin of 22 points. Wu Qian scored 12 points in just 12 minutes, Wang Yibo had 12 points and 8 assists, Jing Tianyu, the 20-year-old rising star, hit four three-pointers for 21 points, Li Yuezhou also scored 12 points. After the lineup became slightly more complete, the team’s strength was noticeably enhanced.

Tianjin has already played more than ten summer league games. Under Zhang Qingpeng’s leadership, Tianjin men’s basketball team has gradually shaken off the title of being a bottom-feeder. The team is full of vitality and often produces upsets. In the previous summer league, Tianjin’s winning rate was around 50%. In their last game, Tianjin narrowly lost to Xinjiang by 4 points, suffering their third consecutive defeat, and the team desperately needs a victory to boost morale.

Zheng Haoran has performed exceptionally well in this summer league, scoring the highest points for his team multiple times. Zhang Yunmeng and Shi Dezhai have also performed decently. The two teams previously met at the Futian Station of the summer league, where Tianjin defeated Zhejiang 89-75. In that game, six Tianjin players scored in double digits, showing a balanced attack, while Wu Qian of Zhejiang scored 20 points and 8 assists in vain. In this rematch, Zhejiang, who are recovering form, hope to take revenge with a victory.
