In a CBA League clash at 19:35 Beijing time, the Shanghai Sharks will host the Jiangsu Dragons. The Shanghai Sharks have been in good form recently, especially strong when playing at home. They have won their last two home games, demonstrating excellent defensive capabilities and high scoring efficiency. The team maintains a stable offense, averaging 96 points per game, and shows strong competitiveness against tough opponents, with improved tactical execution in crucial games. In contrast, the Jiangsu Dragons' performance has been inconsistent, particularly on the road. Their losing streak highlights issues in their offensive and defensive coordination, especially a lack of penetration in the opponent's key scoring areas, leading to a decline in overall performance. Key areas to watch include: Jiangsu's offense heavily relies on Pang ZhengLin (22.8 points per game) and Giles (19.8 points, 9.4 rebounds). Shanghai needs to use rotations and double-teaming to disrupt their teamwork. In the first encounter, Pang ZhengLin scored 32 points, but the team struggled. Shanghai's Wang Zhelin and Whiteside have a stronger interior defense, needing to secure more rebounds to convert into second-chance points. Jiangsu's interior defense and rebounding are weak, making them vulnerable to larger score gaps. Shanghai averages 10 three-pointers per game, with the second-best offensive efficiency, while Jiangsu averages 7.4 three-pointers, with the 17th-best offensive efficiency. Shanghai must maintain a steady pace and control turnovers. Jiangsu can only rely on outside shooting and fast breaks to stay in the game. Tactical Outlook: Shanghai will play a team-oriented offense at home, combining inside and outside plays with multiple scoring options. They will use rotations to pressure Pang ZhengLin and protect rebounds to prevent fast breaks. Jiangsu needs Pang ZhengLin to continue his hot hand, looking for outside shots, focusing on transition and offensive rebounds, and reducing turnovers to avoid fast breaks.
