Teams Preview
Ningbo Rockets Preview
In their last game against the Shandong Hi-Speed, the Ningbo Rockets suffered a disappointing 99-75 defeat on the road. Despite the presence of towering center Tacko Fall, the Rockets struggled to contain Shandong's balanced offensive attack.
Zavier Simpson tried to generate offense with his playmaking abilities, while Frank Jackson and Kenyon Martin Jr. contributed scoring from the perimeter and wing positions. However, defensive breakdowns and poor shooting efficiency plagued the team throughout the contest. The Rockets failed to establish any consistent rhythm offensively and allowed Shandong to control the pace from start to finish.
The Rockets enter this matchup desperately seeking to bounce back at home and regain some momentum against a formidable opponent. Playing at Youngor Arena, they need to leverage home-court advantage and generate defensive intensity to slow down Liaoning's high-powered offense.
With Tacko Fall's rim protection, Simpson's court vision, and the scoring abilities of Jackson and Martin Jr., Ningbo has the tools to compete. However, they face a massive challenge against a surging Liaoning squad that just demolished Sichuan by 52 points.
Liaoning Flying Leopards Preview
In their last match against the Sichuan Blue Whales on January 27, 2026, the Liaoning Flying Leopards delivered an absolutely dominant 109-57 victory. The Flying Leopards put on a defensive clinic, holding Sichuan to just 57 points while their offense fired on all cylinders. Jaylon Brown led the charge with efficient scoring, while Eric Moreland controlled the paint with his rebounding and interior defense.
Zhao Jiwei orchestrated the offense brilliantly, finding open teammates and creating easy scoring opportunities. The team's ball movement was exceptional, and they converted defensive stops into fast-break points. It was a complete team performance that showcased why Liaoning is one of the elite teams in the CBA this season with their 12-3 record.
The Flying Leopards come into this road game riding tremendous momentum after their crushing victory over Sichuan. They have balanced scoring with Brown providing perimeter firepower, Moreland anchoring the paint, and excellent playmaking from Zhao Jiwei.
If Liaoning can execute their trademark suffocating defense, dominate the boards with Moreland's presence, and maintain their offensive efficiency, they should be able to secure another convincing road victory.
The key will be maintaining focus and not overlooking a Ningbo team desperate to defend home court. The Flying Leopards average excellent offensive numbers while ranking among the league's best defensively.
