Sitting adjacent to each other after their first round ties in CBA 2020-21, both Nanjing and Tianjin suffered similar results in their season openers albeit in varying fashion. Both the sides were defeated in their respective first round fixtures, results they’ll be yearning to turnaround come today.
Tianjin in particular will be itching to take to the court once again. The side was utterly embarrassed in its 121-108 defeat, a showing which saw them not only falter in both attack and defence but more importantly fail to show nay kind of a stomach for a fight on the day as well.
Elsewhere, while Nanjing Monkey Kings’ defeat was a more closely contested affair, the team was dismal defensively as well. The 105-97 defeat alluded towards the side’s aberrations in defence, issues which left the side beleaguered as they failed to protect their rim.

Fantasy Picks
Point Guard
Frei Cao carried out the task Nanjing Monkey Kings asked of him the last time around to perfection. The point guard was crucial in controlling the centre of the court for the side with his ability to spray the ball all across the court seeing him layup the ball on 6 occasions.
Shooting Guard
15 points, 5 dimes and 3 rebounds in the same contest make Qiao Wenhan a must have pick for us from the side. Taking on a side that was hit for a howler of a 121 points the last time around, Qiao can run amuck today to pull off yet another high scoring display.
With 14 points in his side’s season opener, Lin Tingqian becomes our first pick from Tianjin Pioneers for the forthcoming fixture.
Small Forward
If Tianjin are to have a chance of salvaging a win from the imminent tie, the side will need this duo to once again set the court alight. Zikai Meng exploded for 18 points the last time around while Siyu He pulled off 19 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds, a performance which truly deserved to end up on the winning side.
Power Forward
Tian Yu was absolutely undefendable inside the point. He made full use of his floating jump points to register a staggering 17 points, figures which make him an instant pick for the upcoming affair.
Centre
The 15 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds Guo Yifei had in his side’s first clash of the season were solely responsible for keeping his team in the contest till the culminating stages. He was absolutely electric in the contest, doing everything within his repertoire to try and script a win for the club.
He’s going to be joined up by Siayo Sun who had 9 points and 6 rebounds in the same tie, a player who made full use of his expertise to make his presence felt inside both the paints.
