Shenzhen Marco Polo will host the game at Longhua Culture and Sports Center, aiming to leverage home advantage to reverse their recent slump. Their form has been inconsistent, and their last match saw them lose to Zhejiang Fangxingdu, highlighting issues with rebounding (averaging 41.2, 12th in the league) and focus. Key player Gu Quan averages 19.0 points per game this season, with a 40.3% three-point shooting percentage. Wang Haoran contributes 17.6 points inside, and both need to shoulder more scoring responsibilities. Facing Liaoning's high-pressure defense, the team must reduce turnovers (averaging 16.2, 4th most in the league) and attack the basket using their inside height. Liaoning BenGang, despite two consecutive losses, maintains a strong defense, conceding 84.6 points per game, ranking fourth in the league. With Han Dejun retired, the team's inside game relies on Zhang Chenzhifeng (8.3 points, 5.2 rebounds per game) and foreign player Morland, with their rim protection efficiency ranking in the top three in the league. Foreign player, Wells, is in stable form (20.3 points per game). The team excels at capitalizing on opponent turnovers to score in transition (averaging 19.5 points in fast breaks), and Shenzhen's turnover rate may become a weakness to exploit. The prediction is under 172.5 points.
