Guangzhou Long Lions Preview
In their last match against the Zhejiang Golden Bulls, the Long Lions lost 89-74 in a game where they struggled to find offensive rhythm. Lindell Wigginton led the team with his scoring and playmaking abilities, averaging 21.9 points and 7.8 assists per game this season.

The team has been inconsistent this season with a 7-8 record but remains competitive in most games.
The Long Lions come into this road game looking to bounce back from their recent defeat and build momentum. They have balanced scoring with Wigginton leading the charge alongside Holiday's experience and Guo Ailun's leadership. On the road at Zuchang Gymnasium, they'll need strong ball movement and defensive consistency to control the tempo.
If Guangzhou can execute their offense efficiently, limit turnovers, and defend the paint effectively, they should be able to extend their historical dominance over Fujian. The key will be maintaining focus for the full game and not allowing the Sturgeons to gain confidence.
