Tianjin Pioneers are currently on a losing streak, with a dip in their offensive and defensive performances. However, they might find a turning point playing at home in the new year. Key guard Lin Tingqian averages 19.8 points and 5.3 assists this season, needing only three assists to reach 42nd place on the CBA all-time assists list, potentially achieving a milestone in this match. Foreign player James contributes 14.6 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, anchoring the inside game. Despite this, the team's overall defensive efficiency is lacking, conceding over 90 points on average in the last five games, necessitating improved teamwork to address their defensive vulnerabilities. Zhejiang Golden Bulls are on a five-game winning streak, displaying dominance on both offense and defense, averaging 85.5 points per game with a top-ranking defensive efficiency in the league. Foreign player Brown averages 20.8 points and 1.8 steals, with Hu Jinqiu providing a stable inside presence with 16.8 points and 5.6 rebounds. Substitute player Tucker adds firepower with 13 points per game. The team has been strong on the road recently, averaging a 10-point winning margin in their last three away games, and has historically overcome Tianjin multiple times, holding a clear psychological advantage, and is expected to continue their winning streak.
