Sitting near the bottom of the table with a 10-17 record, they rely heavily on scoring bursts rather than defensive stability. Their games tend to be high scoring, with an average total of 197 points in the last ten matches, which shows how often their defense allows opponents to stay in the game.
Qingdao, currently in the top half of the standings at 16-11, have the more balanced profile. They shoot more efficiently, defend better, and commit fewer turnovers.

If Qingdao control the pace and keep the game in half-court situations, their defensive efficiency should give them the edge.

Qingdao have a positive form trend and strong defensive numbers, whereas Nanjing remain inconsistent and allow one of the highest scoring averages in the league.
