CCTV-5 and Yangshipin are currently airing the 18th round CBA match between Liaoning Bengang and Shandong High-Speed.

The game has just begun with the first quarter in progress, and the score remains 0-0.

Both teams are performing below expectations today; who will win? I think Shandong High-Speed, playing away, has a greater chance. Liaoning is struggling with a depleted roster, and Zhao Jiwei has only recently recovered from injury, significantly weakening the team. Their offensive power is limited, with a low average scoring per game. Led by Gao Shiyan, Shandong High-Speed should be able to secure the victory tonight. Given the current state of both teams, they are essentially out of playoff contention. It's quite unfortunate to see Liaoning Bengang fall to this level, considering they are a three-time consecutive CBA champion!
